There’s some poll results out right now that not-so surprisingly half – yes, half – of Americans think Facebook is a passing fad. The poll in question was conducted by Associated Press and CNBC. Now in case you weren’t aware, Facebook is going public as a company, as in a publicly-traded company, this week. Many are saying "too...

Time Warner Cable has decided to can the RoadRunner branding completely concerning its internet service offerings. This does not mean the internet service itself is going belly-up, but the name is going to change and for some subscribers the pricing schema will change as well. BrightHouse Networks in Florida for example does use the Time Warner Roadrunner...

There’s been a lot of buzz lately about Google’s newest offering. Termed Google Drive, it’s laden with quite a few big expectations- not the least of which is the belief that it might well help Google breathe some new life into its currently ailing, somewhat lackluster Chromebooks. But just what is drive? And what can you use it for? To make a...

Recently on Reddit, an admitted botnet operator/malware coder opened up a "Ask Me Anything" so anyone could ask him why he does what he does. In the description of the Q&A, he actually gave some great advice on how to prevent yourself from being subject to what’s known as "driveby" malware infections: Protip against driveby...

So, I have a confession to make. Until fairly recently, I actually didn’t do all that much on Reddit. I had friends who were on it continually, and they’d talk about it all the time.

It is unfortunate in this day and age that as much as the internet has progressed, it is still exceedingly difficult to actually close, a.k.a. delete an account for almost any given web service. Why is it so difficult to close accounts? Because the way most user databases are designed simply don’t allow it. If you’re user #492862, your account...

We’re told over and over by the bank, credit card companies, insurance companies and so on to "go green" and have our statements, billing notices and so on all delivered via email instead of traditional postal paper mail, and many people do (not so much for the ‘green’ reason but rather because it’s just easier to deal with that...

You can file this one under the "Duh" department. As it turns out to the surprise of absolutely no one, 1 in 4 Facebook users lies about the personal information they input on their profiles. The reason? It’s stated that it’s privacy concerns, but I’m going to take a wild guess here and say that’s not what it is at all. What...

This is an example of what happens when you let The Machine do the work for you. Robert Scoble, a well-known tech startup enthusiast (the guy is known everywhere in tech circles) was posting a comment on Facebook when their system in its infinite wisdom decided to tell him that he outright couldn’t post his comment. The reason? It "seemed irrelevant...
