Great question on Apple VS Microsoft

Over on ZDNet blogs, Adrian Kinglsey-Hughes asks a great question....

"How long until Apple is bigger than Microsoft?"

Apple has hit a few home runs... I think among them iTunes, iPod, iPhone....etc.. and the fact that through all the years the PC was so widely used it's a wonder that Apple's computers are still around.... even gaining popularity (I am writting this on a MacBook)...

There are some numbers on this page (linked below) and if they are accurate, the numbers are in fact pretty close.

Phishing scams - can happen to anyone

Did you ever see those emails that say they come from your bank... .or some other bank you don't deal with.... or maybe PayPal even though you don't have an account.... or you get it to an email that is not associated to an account????????

(I've seen all those emails.... and more)

Well, falling prey to phising scams can happen.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy is one of the people who fell victim to such a scam. 

It can literally happen to anyone.... keep your guard up!!

The internet pretty much has websites for anything and everything. You can view tons of videos, waste tons of time..... you can watch cartoon Badgers dance around....

Well, now you can do what you've always wanted to do.

Plan you're funeral.

So make sure you're funeral goes the way you want it to.

City of Washington uses Google Apps

City of Washington D.C. is using Google apps as their intranet.

Interesting.

New Flock release and Hello world!!!

Hello out there.

It's been about forever since I've posted anything here. But, it's time to start posting once again.

I've been keeping my eye on technology news... .for a number of years.

Just wanted to post that Flock, a browser based on Mozilla Firefox has just released their new version. Flock 2.0.

I've used Flock quite a bit but haven't really used all of it's features... it has alot of built in features, new ones include some new functionality for MySpace.

Check it out.
