Online privacy is something that some pay attention to, others are paranoid about, while the majority don’t give it much thought. Part of the reason for the latter is the sheer complexity of ensuring it (or seemingly so). That’s where Priveazy comes in. Priveazy is a Chrome Extension which is made up of three separate [...]
As I’ve said time and again, we’re not exactly living in an era where user privacy is particularly valued or respected – at least in the Western world. No user has as much control over their personal information (and who can access it) as they should, and in most cases, the terms of service with [...]
One tool I use quite frequently in my freelance work is Microsoft Word. And, Word introduces a fair amount of writing distractions just by way of the interface. The problem, I think, lies with all the bells and whistles Microsoft has apparently insisted on jamming into their product. So much of it just seems so [...]
For those of you who don’t know a whole lot about video games, Razer as an organization is rather dear to most people who play them (at least on the PC). Since it hit its stride back in 2004, it’s established itself as an industry leader in gaming-related peripherals. It produces some of the best [...]
The cloud is a grand way to collaborate with friends, family, and co-workers. I don’t believe I’d be capable of getting through my workday without Evernote, and while I don’t personally use Dropbox myself, I know plenty who swear by it like the Bible. But, are there cloud security risks with such tools, including malware? [...]
If there’s one thing I’ve always hated about job hunting, it’s résumé design. I’m certain that I’m not alone in this – the process of creating a resume is quite possibly one of the most repetitive, mind-numbing pieces of busywork you’ll ever engage in. You’re forced to look through everything that defines you as an [...]
With all the productivity-killers to be found online, it’s pretty easy to forget that modern tech is designed to make us more efficient and productive in getting work done. The way technology has developed has, in particular, made collaboration and organization of group projects easier than ever before. Plenty of people completely neglect that side [...]
Choosing the perfect song for any given occasion can be tough. Particularly when you’ve a library of several thousand pieces (or you’re logged in to a streaming service), finding something that suits both mood and the environment can be downright impossible. In the end, you might end up wasting more time than it’s even worth. [...]
Even though it’s been almost two years since the Mac Defender scandal, I’m sure the events of that debacle are still fresh on everyone’s mind. It was, without a doubt, the worst viral epidemic Apple has ever had to deal with. The organization’s ham-handed response to the whole thing (trying to deny it existed until [...]
Unless you’re planning to disconnect your computer completely from every network in existence, you’re going to need an antivirus solution of some kind. It’s a big, dangerous world out there on the web and an unprotected system isn’t likely to last all that long. You need a means of protecting yourself from the plethora of [...]
There’s a lot of stuff you can do with the Raspberry Pi – a fully-functional computer the size of a credit card that costs only $25. However, multi-booting isn’t really one of them. With the way the system is designed, you can only boot a single operating system per SD card, which can get more [...]
Eventually, you’re probably going to owe someone money, even if it’s only for a short time. This is particularly true if you’re living with one or more roommates. In order for everyone to co-habitate effectively, you’ll pretty much have to work out some sort of system for splitting the expenses. If you’re using such a system – [...]
Some might say we’ve moved past the Information Age – that we’re now living in an age of digital surveillance. Monitoring systems are virtually everywhere. Iit’s gotten to the point that you can’t even turn your head without being watched by someone, somewhere. Whether offline or online, in public or on the Internet, you’re being [...]
It’s pretty common knowledge that personal privacy isn’t what it used to be. Plenty of folks say privacy as we once knew it is dead in the water. To put it frankly, privacy no longer exists. Between data mining tracking cookies, invasive EULAs, and shaky governmental legislation, the privacy of your personal information in the [...]
We all know that Facebook has a history of playing fast and loose with its users’ personal data. By now, anyone who uses the social network (in other words, almost everyone who surfs the ‘net at this point) knows that whatever data they put on the social site is likely to end up in the [...]
