Here’s to MAC Security

June 13, 2009 By Robert Owen

This was another "Eaten" Post. I'm adding it back because I find it is still relevant information in the whole MAC vs PC debate going on these days. The information below is slightly dated but, it really hasn't changed much in the past year. Problems still exist on BOTH sides. (Although the MAC guys would lead you to believe otherwise.) Well, we always hear of the Apple Macintosh's superior OS security... How they never get viruses; never lock-up, No "Holes" in their OS etc.. And, now that … [Read more...]

Another Spammer Mail

May 20, 2009 By Robert Owen

ATTENTION THIS IS TO ALERT YOU THAT THE POLICE HAVE GOT THOSE THAT EXTORT MONEY FROM YOU IN AFRICA WE ARE ABLE TO GET YOUR EMAIL THROUGH ONE OF THE CRIMINAL .

Help The KSO!

May 1, 2009 By Robert Owen

I just got this note in my e-mail from the KSO fan group on Facebook: from the KSO Executive Director, Rachel Ford: The KSO needs your help. We are mobilizing in an effort to support restoring the KSO’s County Grant funding. In the 2010 budget released yesterday by Knox County Mayor Mike Ragsdale, the Knoxville Symphony is set to receive only $6,790 in community agency grant funding—down from $43,438 last year. As you may have heard, several other cultural agencies that have received … [Read more...]

About Your Payment. Really?

April 13, 2009 By Robert Owen

I got an new variation on that Nigerian E-mail Scam today. Remember that one? It's the one where somebody rich in Nigeria can't get the money out of their relatives estate and needs to transfer it to your American Bank account. And, in return they will give you a generous fee... All you have to do is give them "ALL" your information. Bank Name, address, bank account, social security number, blood type, next of kin, etc, etc, etc... Well, the one I got today takes on another angle, check it … [Read more...]
