Michael Plumadore has reportedly confessed to the heinous murder and dismemberment of nine year old Aliahna Lemmon. This is such a sad story it makes one sick to the stomach.
Did a “bored” and “aroused” man commit this crime?

Some twenty months ago I contributed* two documents to scribd. I browsed around but did not download anything. Today I browsed around again, noticed a heap of banner ads — perhaps too many for my tastes — but hey, you’ve got to pay the bills somehow, right? But then I tried a download and hit a pay wall: Either contribute a new document or pay a monthly $9 subscription. Really? What did I get in return for the two I already uploaded? Read More »
After upgrading to Apple Mac’s Safari 5 browser I found that I could no longer double-click to download video files in the Activity window as I was able to do in earlier versions of the browser. It’s an option+double click now.
We’re fast approaching the very last Kodak Moment. The stock price is set to fall below $1 and the company is running out of operating cash fast.
The fear is that Sprint keylogs on Android phones using an embedded (hard to remove) app called Carrier IQ (CiQ), even helping itself, in clear text, to WiFi SSL encrypted comms — all in the name of fleet QA, really? Can it capture usernames and passwords too?
Let’s presume Sprint will use this information responsibly, if harvested (nudge, nudge, wink, wink). The risk of being hacked into? Probably priceless for the hacker, disgruntled partner with access to your handset [enter your own demon's name here]. Read More »

So here’s an interesting podcast from Kaspersky Lab’s Senior Malware Analyst Denis Maslennikov on Help Net Security. Put your earplugs in and turn the page for a six-and-a-half minute introduction to a scary story … Read More »
I recorded the first test of our national Emergency Alert System broadcast at 2pm today so I could, in a real emergency, recognise it — I was at work at the time and could not watch it live. You too may be interested in what it looks and sounds like. Read More »
An iOS 5 update to your iPhone or iPad can take an hour — or three, or four. I recommend you choose to “download only” first and then “update” later. In so doing you can untether your iPhone/iPad and leave iTunes to take its time downloading the file. If you choose “update” you cannot untether the device from your computer and you may be in for a very long wait.
One month after it opened on 9/11/2011 I finally got in to see the memorial. Ten years after the tragic events which precipitated it.
The landscape is very different now that two seemingly bottomless-pit fountains sit in the foundations of the original towers. The scale of the memorial certainly reflects the scope of the loss in its impact on our society. Read More »
