Derailed 2 (aka “Festive Friday Fun”)
I’m feeling generous, so how about a Two-for-the-Price-of-One special?
Fun video #1 Looking back, it’s kind of hard to believe they called this band “punk”..
Fun video #2 (a bit more in the Holiday spirit…)
Please be conscientious, and use good, healthy, “paranoid common sense” during this prime cybercrime season. (I.e., don’t open emails advertising extreme bargains on online stores you’ve never heard of before.) And, do the same while you’re in the malls, too (don’t leave your purse in the shopping cart, for instance).
Today’s tech reading:
* Google.com now ‘censors’ explicit content from image searches
“Google.com image search now restricts sexual or not-safe-for-work content, thanks to changes in the search engine’s SafeSearch settings. However, some are calling it “censorship.” Read more..
[How To Win Friends And Influence People: turn off their porn. Brilliant!]

[Yes, this is working out so well, let’s put even more info into databases! Better yet, let’s put it all into one or two giant databases, and let these same admins run them.]
Silly little poll (cont.)

• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
Note: You are responsible for using this blog and its content. I am in no way liable for any losses caused by user error, viruses and/or other malware, hardware or software failure, or any other conceivable reason.
