Scam, Virus, Phishing alert!
Looks like there is a variant of the Better Business Bureau scam is circulating now but seemingly from the Internal Revenue Service, and I was a recipient of one of the emails.

Scam/Virus Alert - emails from IRS with Subject “Complaint Case Number…”




(No Ratings Yet)reCaptcha - post comments and help digitize old text




(No Ratings Yet)I’m sure that a lot of people have heard about Captcha…if you have downloaded files from RapidShare or tried to post comments on a blog (like mine) or register for a new site service or something like that, you have probably come across Captcha.

What Web 2.0 would have looked like 10 years ago




(No Ratings Yet)Microsoft has been including IE7 in all of the latest Critical Updates. It’s getting harder and harder to avoid installing. At my work, we recently had to roll back some of our users’ machines to remove IE7 so that an automated testing software could run properly on IE6. So that got me thinking (and searching) [...]
