So, TIL [Today I Learned], that a USB charger by Energizer has, for the last two years, had a back door open. According to CERT and this MarketWatch announcement. Which charger? The one below.

People Upset Over Fake Core i7 Blame Newegg instead of Counterfeiters

I used to have a sign in my office that read:
Quality
Speed
Low Cost
Pick Two.

What do you think Social Networks are all about Mr. Hyde?

Andrew Hyde decided to commit location based service suicide because his interaction with sites like FourSquare led to him being discovered in the real world.

Moving Projects to a New Server

I have to say, you really need to pick your host properly. I use two hosts, Powweb and InnoHosting. Inno has gone above and beyond in the last few days as a switch was required from another host that I started with. I’ll stick to Powweb and Innohosting.
I’ll get more into this later. So, to [...]

Facebook, Privacy, and Your Info is No Longer YOURS.

The SuicideMachine is a site that allows you to purge your online identity with the click of a few buttons. And, when this launched, I knew it was going to be a headache, but one easily fixed.
