Top Level Hawaii - Televison, Meet the Internet

I read this article in Inc. Magazine and I thought I’d share my thoughts on it. The article was on how the Internet is slowly replacing Television .. well at least Television as we know it. So then the article goes on to say that soon the best video content will be available on your Television .. nothing groundbreaking there … BUT this spring my peeps over at LG will start shipping 42 and 47 inch LCD Televisions (Check Model LH50) that will plug into your Ethernet cable and deliver NetCast Entertainment Access that will allow you to watch ALL your TV stations without the need for external devices like SLINGBOX or TiVo (Now that’s New). I’m always telling my business clients that the WEB (Internet) is the Future and that if you’re not thinking about your online presence in 5 years .. you may not HAVE a presence. Everyday I wake up I go straight to my computer .. many, many years ago I absolutely hated it .. BUT NOW .. it’s a part of my LIFE that I love.

Stay “Knowledge” Thirsty My Friends …

Dear President Obama please send Stewie to get our $125 Billion BACK.

Dear Mr. President … Those Bums we loaned $300 Billion of our Tax Payer money to help people in need .. those same crooks who paid themselves and the thieves they work with who gave themselves $125 Billion in bonuses .. First off should be in Jail (Big Boy JAIL) .. they are just modern day Bank Robbers and second you need to get our money back. I don’t care what the contract says .. GET OUR MONEY BACK NOW!!

And if you can’t .. SEND STEWIE .. he’ll get it back.
Thanks

Can viruses really steal ID information?

A good friend told me that some viruses and trojans that you get, can actually find confidential personal ID information on you computer like SSN or credit card info, and send it to scammer who then can rip you off?  Is this true? What can be done about it? 

I have and anti-virus program called Cyberdefender on my computer, is that enough protection? Well there are viruses that implement keystroke logging; basically they record keystrokes that you’re typing into your computer. These keystrokes can include anything that you type, including any personal information you might enter into a website, application, or document. Once the keystrokes are recorded, they may be sent over the internet to a malicious third party. Antivirus programs are certainly one line of protection. Some are better than others; none of them work well unless they’re continually updated. Firewalls also help by limiting communication between the trojan and the miscreant who hopes to recieve your data. Changing passwords frequently can help foil an attack.

Best of all is to avoid getting a virus in the first place. Be wary with attachments in email (especially multimedia files such as videos!), make sure your operating system has all security updates applied.

Web-surf with care.
