What is Google Voice?


Some users still seem to be confused as to what Google Voice is. Simply put, Google Voice is a telephony service that provides you with a suite of tools to control how all of your calls are handled. It is not a VoIP service so in order to use Google Voice you must configure your current phones to work with it. I use it in conjunction with my mobile phone and VoIP service. When placing a call you have the option of displaying your "real" number or your Google Voice number as your Caller ID. Since Google Voice rings your phones just like a regular phone you will be using mobile minutes just like a regular call.

News is out that a number of major online retailers have and are continuing to scam their customers, by tricking them into signing up for "loyalty" programs simply by providing an email address during checkout.  It is not obvious that you are actually joining a "loyalty" program that will cost around $9-$12 per month, and the retailer gives the "loyalty" program your credit card information without disclosing this to you.

The list of etailers involved in this is shocking.

Security hole in Windows Browsers; Using https (secure mode) while on public networks PDF Print

Some major security flaws have come to our attention, and we wanted to warn our customers.  This is not related to our services, but rather of your use of security on the Internet.

* Security hole in Windows Browsers


Microsoft Windows security software has a flaw, allowing secure sites to be spoofed.  So when you think you are on a secure connection to your bank, Paypal, Amazon, etc. you can actually be connected to a hacker site instead, giving them your login, personal, credit card or other financial information. The way this is done is by registering a specially crafted security certificate, forging a legitimate site name (like Bank of America for example) so that the browser believes it to be Bank of America, when it is not.

Okay, it has been five days since I installed Windows 7 on my Acer netbook.

 

How is it going?

 

Surprisingly well.  Performance remains better than with Windows XP.  The system is certainly more friendly than before. Sleep mode actually works (like it always has on a Mac) for the first time on Windows.  I really, really like the new task bar with the window preview.  Reminds me of OS X, maybe even one step better.
