Here’s a little warning for everyone. If you get an email from a friend of yours that says they got mugged while in England, and now can’t get home without your help, don’t believe it. Likely, someone has hacked your friend’s email. I had heard about this phenomenon happening on Facebook, where a hacker would …
Here’s a little note for everyone. Today, when you go to Google, and it starts making Pacman noises, don’t freak out. It’s, uh, kinda the 30th anniversary of the release of the Pacman video game, and Google is celebrating by having a little Pacman gamelet on the site. You can even play! Well, sorta. I …
