Are You Ready for the Day Google Goes Evil? Ever notice how many Google products you use? Are you too reliant on Google’s products for your own good? Lately I have been following the story regarding Google’s mass deletions of accounts with fake names. These accounts were deleted without any warning. Obviously these users had been accepted as field testers because they had been using Google products for years. Suddenly they found...

Welcome Back to Tech Tuesday! It’s been a full week since my last posting. My Apologies but I’m enjoying my summer :p – I hope everyone else is too… Patch Tuesday… Today is the 2nd tuesday of the month which is “Patch Tuesday” for Microsoft. With 3 critical updates to XP and XP Pro, all to IE versions 6, 7 & 8, it’s just a wonder why people have not upgraded to IE9 yet which has no...

Specifically be careful with how you setup your G+ account because Google is disabling accounts that they think are fake. Word around the blogosphere is that if your not using your real name your acount is getting disabled along with the...

I spent some time this weekend upgrading my Mac from OSX Leopard to OSX Lion. I was a little hesitant since many bloggers were writing about some of the unforeseen issues that they were experiencing when upgrading to Lion. Issues from people were losing all there files, (so I was warned to make a backup) to some of their most popular programs were no longer compatible with Lion, including Microsoft Office.

It looks like Microsoft has announced when they will be killing off Windows XP… …or at least when they will no longer offer support for the platform, and it looks like Windows XP will be retired in just under 3 years. Microsoft announced on the 11th of July that they would withdraw support for Windows XP in 1,000 Days, and the official end date for Windows XP is the 14th of April 2014. My Response? “THANK GOD! IT”S...
