It’s not love, war, or baseball. But over the years some memorable things have been said about technology. Some have been memorably eloquent; others are unforgettably shortsighted, wrongheaded, or just plain weird. Let’s celebrate them, shall we?
I'm going home for Thanksgiving and I'll be tethered all the way. It's simple, fast, and available as a Free Trail. I'm starting to love my new Droid and all the things it brings with it. Want to check your mail, website, or do some WordPress while sitting under a tree in the woods? Take a look

Phishing was not on my list of things to educate myself about until I was victim to a couple of attacks over the past month in my Twitter account. Who wants to bother with such things? Maybe you should before it happens to you.
Never sharing logins and passwords is common sense but people do it. And periodically changing important logins and passwords is not a bad idea either. Those are the basics and there is an abundance of anti-phishing advice online.
Here's what happened to me.

Although there are many software utilities that claim to be able to delete data files from hard drives securely and thoroughly, can't you accomplish the same thing simply by overwriting sensitive files with large, non-sensitive ones?
To be honest, it depends on your level of paranoia. I suppose that also depend on the level of sensitivity of your data.
But you are correct in the implication that a plain old "delete" isn't nearly enough.
Let's look at that, and how far you might need to go.

One of the first pieces of hardware I ever remember lusting after was a cassette player. I was pretty young back then, and a cassette player was innovative!

If you’re looking for a full review of the Droid this isn’t one of them. There are hundreds of them online that review specs and typical review topics. This is as the title says Day One and I’ll tell you what I like along with all stupid things I still haven’t figured out.

So, have you heard anything about Google's Chrome Operating System being released next week?
It's open source. It's free. It's going to have limited drivers available. It has fewer partners than expected. It's supposed to be quick and lean, designed for today's computing. First commercial availability will be on netbooks
I hope it's as innovative and exciting as Google want's it to be but, somewhere in the back of my mind I worry about The Cost of Free.
