Apple MacBook Rocks

This box rocks. It is super fast and easy to use. Check it out.

Built upon the revolutionary Intel Core Duo — with two processor cores on a single chip — MacBook leaves other consumer notebooks in the dust. It performs up to five times faster than the previous generation iBook without compromising on size or style.

At 1280 by 800, the 13.3-inch glossy widescreen display delivers 30% more viewing area than the iBook or 12-inch PowerBook — perfect for movies and more. And the ultrabright LCD makes photos and graphics come alive with color. You can also connect your MacBook via the mini-DVI port to an external display and create twice the workspace.

Learn the truth about Spyware

Learn the truth about Spyware and how you may be stuck in
QUICKSAND!

By: T.J. Vanek

Spyware is a software that sends personal information to a
third party without your permission or knowledge. This can
include information about web sites you visit or something even
more sensitive such as your name and password.

In reality it is like having an uninvited guest in your home
and allowing him unfettered access to all your most personal
information including banking records,credit cards
records,social security number and computer passwords. The
effects of Spyware can be devestating.

On a National level we have been shocked to learn of security
lapses at the Veteran's Administration that affects about 28
million American's and their most sensitive records.It is
therefore extreemly important that american's protect themselves
from Spyware intrusions due to such lapses.

Here are the most common ways that Spyware gets into your
Computer.

1.Bundled with free software like screensavers or P2P file
sharing programs which you download. For example Kazaa, a P2P
file-sharing application, installs adware onto a user's computer
even though it claims to contain "no spyware." Waterfalls 3 from
Screensaver.com installs spyware and Trojan horses. Examples are
courtesy of a report from StopBadware.org's website.

2.Opening Spam email attachments

3.Being enticed into clicking on links in pop up adverts which
then downloads spyware. These pop ups usually display messages
to do with winning money or entering a special prize drawer.

4."Drive-by downloading" - this is when spyware is automatically
downloaded onto your computer from the website you are surfing.



Earlier this year a report published by the University of
Washington revealed categories of websites which are mostly like
to host spyware or infect users through"drive-by downloads."
Their research revealed the following categories.

1.Gaming sites

2.Music download sites (I interpret this to mean "illegal" music
sharing sites like dailymp3.com or where you can find P2P
applications)

3.Adult sites

4.Celebrity sites

5.Wallpaper / screensaver sites
