Hey folks… The last day of the year begins with an early roundup of some interesting bits from around the internets:
- If you think you’re safer using your credit card at a restaurant than over the Internet, you’re very, very wrong. You need to read this one.
- How exactly does 14,800 pounds of ground beef go missing? (Brings new meaning to “Where’s the beef?”)
- Maybe the DHS should stop oppressing the average folks and take a look inward instead.
When NPR decides to delve into the murky waters of security and technology, professionals should probably take some notice:
- Marketplace reported (wait a bit for the audio associated with that blurb to be posted) on the increased dangers of identity theft predicted for 2008.
- NPR’s Morning Edition also covered identify theft and gave a brief nod to Netscape Navigator’s demise.
- At the peak, Amazon was selling 17 Wii’s per second this Christmas. That’s quite a bit of Wii.
It’s a gorgeous day out here and the posts may be few and far between for the rest of the day. Mary & I will be taking some time alone at Monsoon tonight and I’ll be sure to post some comments on the cuisine.
One last note is that EVE Online looks amazing on a 46” Sony Bravia LCD HDTV. Booted Windows XP on the MacBook Pro and hooked it up with a DVI-to-HDMI cable, piped the stereo out to the receiver and worked the controls with Apple’s Bluetooth keyboard (old school) and a Logitech wireless mouse. The Trinity expansion with the enhanced graphics make it look like you’re watching a movie. Great fun!
Happy new year everyone!
