Why I’m not getting an iPad (a rant)
Recently a friend on Facebook posted the following unqualified comment: “Why the pc is becoming irrelevant. iPad.” And I pointed out that, according to the dictionary, the iPad is a PC (i.e. personal computer). While the gadgetphile in me says I want an iPad v2, I can honestly say I can see no reason whatsoever why I need one.
Who-Do Guru? Take good care of your company’s tech wizards… before they take off!
Gurus are valuable, smart and a great source of information.

Cloud computing is cool… until you’re caught with your pants down
Just how do you guarantee your security, whatever you deem it to be, when you are “in the cloud”? Well, unlike actually being in a plane and in the clouds, security and safety is up to you. A seat belt, a sick bag and the foetal position won’t help you. If you want it secure, secure it yourself.

I see public people: If you want online privacy, there is a simple solution. Don’t use the internet.
We’ve all heard the horror stories. Someone we know who has taken a photo of their privates, uploaded it to a web site to show their friends, only to be surprised when they become the darling of the Friday afternoon email set. A friend of a friend tweets about an evening’s indiscretion and wonders just how the hell their partners, friends and partners of friends found out.
The most useful software programs are free (and other things your computer technician doesn’t want you to know)
