MyLife portrays itself as some sort of tool where you can supposedly discover “who’s searching for you”. I believe that is very misleading to say the least. MyLife.com is actually in the midst of a lawsuit in California. Click HERE to download the PDF court document for details.  - (It’s a good read) MyLife.com is the new name for Classmates.com, Reunion.com, and Wink.com . Those of you who were on the internet years ago [...]

I received three similar versions of the same spam email that claims to be from the BBB or Better Business Bureau. I have posted the three emails below. The email wants you to click on a link to reply to a “complaint”. The link is directed to an index file on the IP 38.106.32.183. Huge red flag right there as it is not even a link to the proper BBB domain name [...]

Technically Beezid is not a scam by black and white definition, but I would describe it as misleading. Watch out for websites that over-glorify Beezid with written articles. Most of them simply do this so that you will visit Beezid from their site and sign up, so that they can collect commission. Beezid.com will pay webmasters $25 for each person they refer, who will also create an account on Beezid and make a [...]

I receive one of these ACH payment rejected emails almost daily. They claim to be from the NACHA which is the Electronic Payment Association. NACHA runs the ACH network which handles money transfers etc. This is why you commonly see “ACH” in front of banking transactions on your statements. But don’t be fooled and fall for these ridiculous phishing attempts. The particular email I received today (shown below) contains a link to a supposed Microsoft Word Document that explains why I [...]

Follow the instructions below to securely wipe your device and reset it back to factory default settings. 1) Plug in the iPod Touch so that it remains charged during the entire process. 2) Open the “Settings” app on the [...]

It has been proven over and over that WEP security is worthless. If you are trying to figure out which wireless security standard is right for you, I will help. WEP or Wired Equivalent Privacy has been around since 1999, which is a long time ago if you consider the speed of technological development. A couple of years later exploits were found against WEP which allowed it to be cracked extremely fast. [...]

I am, and have always been an avid eBay user. Recently I have noticed that eBay buyers just don’t seem to want to pay, and other scams are now taking place. I rarely sell things on eBay now since I tend to use Craigslist to get rid of my stuff . Years ago, I used to sell things a lot more often on eBay since Craigslist was not created/widespread (not [...]

It’s easy to transfer movies from computer to TV with the help of a device that allows your TV to play a movie right off your USB flash drive, hard drive, or network. I currently use a WD TV to play my movies off of a USB drive on my TV. It supports just about every video format without any issues. Mine is a basic device that is now getting [...]

Lately I have noticed an enormous increase in mobile traffic to my WordPress blog. With the large number of mobile devices now running Android, iOS, and others; it is very important that your WordPress blog is optimized for mobile viewing. I quickly researched several free plugins available for WordPress that will automatically detect, and display a mobile version of my blog to users with mobile devices. I needed a free plugin that could [...]

At times my job requires me to switch between a Verizon feature phone and a smartphone. This will cause unnecessary data charges if not done correctly. Sometimes I need to go out in the field I am not taking my precious expensive smartphone with me. Instead, I have an old junk “feature phone”  that I take. I found out after having this problem twice, that you will be billed for data on [...]
