The dishwasher vs. your dirty computer keyboard
Thursday February 25 2010 - 10:47:27
WHAT???

Yup, that's was my first reaction when I saw this little headline on CNET.

Someone must be playing a joke or off their rocker were the follow up reactions!

But, sure enough - there it was - an article on actually cleaning your keyboard in the dishwasher!!!

" Though we cannot recommend this method of cleaning for everyone, it may be a last resort for some keyboards. Even so, there are a few cautions you should be aware of in doing this, especially since without observing them you may end up with a clean but broken keyboard.

First and foremost: again, use the dishwasher as a last resort for cleaning your keyboard. Try cleaners with Q-tips, towels, and toothpicks before soaking your keyboard for 30 minutes or so. "

Personally, I use a nice clear silicone keyboard cover ( keeps the crumbs out!)

Imagine getting a live global view of the sun on your cell phone!!!
Thursday February 18 2010 - 06:01:05
February 17, 2010: Imagine holding the entire sun in the palm of your hand. Now you can. A new iPhone app developed by NASA-supported programmers delivers a live global view of the sun directly to your cell phone. Users can fly around the star, zoom in on active regions, and monitor solar activity.

"This is more than cool," says Dick Fisher, director of NASA's Heliophysics Division in Washington DC. "It's transformative. For the first time ever, we can monitor the sun as a living, breathing 3-dimensional sphere."

The name of the app is "3D Sun" and it may be downloaded free of charge at Apple's app store. Just enter "3D Sun" in the Store's search box or visit link for a direct link.

Now I will have to find someone that has an iphone or iPodTouch so I can see this in action!!!

Friday February 12 2010 - 16:57:17
Users of Google's new social-media utility Buzz are claiming it could allow anyone to see who they have been e-mailing.

The world's number one search engine claims Buzz lets users "share updates, photos, videos, and more." But users have discovered that unless privacy settings are changed, Buzz publicly shares details of users' contacts.

From CNet: StopBadware goes nonprofit with funding from Google, others
Thursday January 28 2010 - 13:23:21
StopBadware, the anti-malware effort run out of Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet & Society, is spinning off to become a separate nonprofit with funding from Google, PayPal, and Mozilla, the organization was set to announce on Monday.
StopBadware was launched four years ago to help companies keep spyware, viruses, adware, and other malware off their sites. The project collects and analyzes data from Web sites and advocates for safer practices.
The group's "badware alerts," expose applications that violate its badware guidelines and have AOL, Real Networks, Sears, and others to change their practices regarding customer choice. StopBadware also collaborates with Google in warning users about Web sites that can install malware on visitors' computers.
