I never have automatic sign on for anything - prevents people from becoming 'me'. Also defeats the advise to 'store your passwords safely' if people can just get on your device and basically click n go anywhere they want... Hope you are feeling better after the flu... too bad Norton or AVG...

If my life was all about music, graphics, video and entertainment I would be 24/7 Mac

I have never been much of a city person so the attraction of doing anything recreational in a city never appeals to me. If you have the time to get out of New York City and into the countryside it is absolutely amazing to say the least. Upstate New York is having the leaves starting to turn...

I would steer away from iPhone 5 - their quality control has taken a nose dive, ill fitting screens, loose internal components and batteries not up to performance levels on all of the phones. The Siri interface is sketchy, which does not settle well with me, I need the voice and screen reply to...

Lots of good software for defense out there, but you need to also relate to the idea that all anti-malware, antivirus (etc) is reactive and not proavtive, so most protection is always at least one step behind, the freeware protection is more then just one step behind...

No linux drivers is all about money.. you KNOW there must be some deal going on when a hardware's shipping box has another corporation's registered trade mark on the side with the statement that it is compatable with their OS. Guess you could figure that if an OS is open source, one of the...

No shortage of innovations, they just carefully meter out improvements so the marketing department has something "new and improved" to launch when sales drop their watermark. Between "improvement" launches the lawyers are taskes with trying to find ways to take the edge off the competition by...

No such thing as 'friendly fire' unless you are reporting for the FOX network. Playing what if could also extend to the law enforcement officers having batons and the shooter having a lot more ammunition. I still believe that the officers need better training and more recurrent practice so...

Dont know what makes least sense in that story: letting the killer go free because they are under age, or pardoning someone after they were put to death. With that sort of justice system it is all the better that they restrict private civizens from owning firearms.

Total disconnect indeed. I was mentioning that people operating a firearm be sufficiently trained, which would also include recurrent training for firearm operators. I really think it would be foolish to follow what you are suggesting and have law enforcement practice on the streets such as...

Washington Post - also on the bandwagon - amazing how these 'facts' are published in the media before investigations are completed. Never the less I guess I am one of these "gun nuts" because earlier I posted that it makes sense for a gun owner to protect themselves. I also suggested that a...

Those 9 were clearly standing too close to the original gunman trying to take a photograph. Not all 9 injured were shot, if you care to delve deeper then some foreign news report who jumped onto the sensationalism bandwagon.

With the US and Canadian governments still permitting (and supporting via various loand, grants and bursaries) the clear cutting and slash & burn of trees in order to plant cash crops it is truely a great thing when someone takes thought to support a tree. It has been proven so many times in...

That is very sobering news indeed - he has made a huge mark in the history books for technology, yet he was an extremely humble person and always made sure that praise was properly directed to the people who have supported great achievements with their tireless toiling in the background. R.I.P.

From outside USA it often seems that the campaining for election starts the day after inauguration. Does not appear to be too much of a democracy with only two parties.

People just need to rethink need vs greed

So Prince Harry goes naked to play pool and goes in the swimming pool with clothes on... you would think that people who would end up being stalked for such incredibly stupid lack of judgement would make sure they did not do such idiotic acts... how old is he like 16 or just has the mind and...

If visiting Montreal the best EVER fish restaurant is "Peters Cape Cod" which is west of the city in Ste Anne de Bellevue. There are a surprizing number of french speaking people in New England, mostly Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont.

Passports are now a must - no more drivers licenses, library cards or letter from your pastor accepted... South to north crossing by car is not too much hassle, they just ask everyone crossing rather then the random 1 in 7 like before, there are a lot of people from Canada going across the...

Border crossing is nothing like back in the day - we would cross and just go and sign into USA in the big book at the diner/convenience store if it was off hours - have to sign out of USA if it was off hours as well. You would not dare 'sneak in' in case you were not able to 'sneak out' then...
