I take great precaution in making sure I’m never without something I need, or if I am without making sure I have a backup plan. For example, I have a spare set of keys my parents keep for me and when I know I’m having a short cash flow month, I stash a little [...]
In a trial with O2, London Underground, and Nokia, they are offering up a few phones with built in RFID tags to be used with payment systems. Its not a new idea, it was just decided a while ago that it was a rather bad one.
So what makes Nokia think they can do something different [...]
Sleek, Elegant, and Awe Inspiring are all words that will without a question, pop into your mind after using a laser as badass as the Lucentoptics EnVee. A powerful 120mW output gives you the power to burn practically anything in sight, and be seen from up to 60Miles. Not to mention, the EnVee comes in [...]
Kansas City and some places in Southwest Louisiana will be getting some customized MacBooks due to a contract Apple landed with those school districts. Basically they are just adding the necessary security upgrades that the schools required, but there’s nothing basic about the upgrades.

Sure, your browser keeps track of most of that [...]
I have to admit that I don’t really go all-out to protect my credit card from would-be thieves. I keep it in my wallet which stays in my pocket. If it gets stolen, I’m not actually liable for the false charges, so I’m not going to lose sleep over it. For those that are paranoid, [...]
If you travel a lot, you may be paranoid about people breaking into your room while you’re asleep, or even awake for that matter. I generally just use the old chain lock or whatever they’ve got on the door and I’m content. However, some might wish to rely on a different method to keep intruders [...]
These days one has to worry about the security of the files kept on their computer. Flash drives are so small and cheap that everyone has half a dozen of them just lying around. If someone has access to your computer, they can easily just pop one into an open USB port and copy over [...]
The last thing you or I want is for a masked stranger to burst into your bedroom and give you a sound thrashing (at least, it’s the last thing I want; you may differ), so home security is rightly treated as a serious topic. Up until now your choices have pretty much been a straightforward [...]
