Tech – for Everyone

Tech Tips and Tricks & Advice – written in plain English.

Sunday Beauty and More..

A few items for your Sunday..

I simply must start off today by by mentioning that – since they won their big game last weekend – my 49er’s are playing for the NFC Championship today, and if they should win, will go to the Super Bowl (for the first time since .. a rather long while). The NY Giants are coming here to play. Go Niners!

[update: There is no joy in Mudville. The Niners lost in overtime. Great season, guys, and a *heck* of a game.]

Next up, an alert reader sent me a cybercrime news item.

Okay. Another “crime news” depressing downer of a story, blah, blah, blah.. right?

Not so! This one involves iPads, and, yes, scams. But I couldn’t believe the facts of the story.. I won’t spoil the surprise: click here and read for yourself. (Amazing!) Thank you, Dear Reader, for sending that in!
