New way to store Passwords.

Just learned of a new password storage device. Sharpie on the laptop wrist rest. Get a new laptop when you run out of printable space? The owner of the laptop noticed the look on my face and asked if “I wanted a picture?” So the deal was the blurring of the passwords.

VA speed traps?

I snapped these pictures on the way home from VA on 77N. The signs entering VA said that Speed is monitored by radar, air, and other electronic means.

Apple credit

I keep listening to everyone talking about how Apple doesn’t have the virus and malware issues that the rest of the world does. The interesting thing is that the cost of a Mac is much higher that that of a PC. So wouldn’t this mean that the credit score of the Apple owner would generally be higher? If so then they could be better targets even if there are fewer of them.

Almost pwnd by my watch!

So I bought a MP3 watch on E-Bay. It has 2gig of storage and doesn’t look like an MP3 watch. So I waited my two to three weeks for the slow boat to get here. I plugged the watch in to charge and started reading the instructions. That was a waste of time, I can understand anything the tried to translate. The next day I plug it into my computer and Norton pop’s up and the message is Warning infected with W32.Rajump – RavMon.exe

The ad said “100%NEW! Never been Used Before.” I e-mailed them asking why there was a virus on it and they answered with the following.

I have e-mailed them again:

Dear excellbay,

Hi,
I want to keep the watch, not return it. The reason the I was e-mailing was to find out why a “new” watch would have a virus on it? The issue of positive or negative feedback I haven’t even thought about. Sadly I got the watch as promissed the question is if it is truly new with a virus?
Thanks
Dave
