What to do with that picture you took of your infant sucking on your bong? Why, post it on Facebook, of course!
Now, if you’re the type of parent that would take a picture of your little one playing with your bong, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that you’d overlook the potential ramifications of posting the image on an international sharing site.
Let’s place the blame squarely upon the shoulders of those responsible: Facebook’s confusing privacy settings. Says the mom-of-the-year:
“And I took a pic to show one fucking person and it was a mistake. I would never, ever let him get high.”
Of course not. What kind of mom would that make her?
Well, if McAfee says it’s ok….

Top Six Google Chrome Extensions for a Much Secure Browsing Experience
At first, I thought he forgot a word there, but after looking at his suggestions, I’m more inclined to believe that he couldn’t decide between “Much the same Secure Browsing” or “Much false sense that you are Secure Browsing”
Here’s his suggestions for protecting yourself from the villains that reside on the web:
We may not actually make anything, but when it comes to scamming, we’re innovative.

I often bitch about the lack of innovation when it comes to scammers of late. I’ve seen the same thing over and over. So much so, that I’ve reached the point that I don’t even amuse myself any longer(hence the lack of recent content). Hey, don’t hate the player, hate the game.
Ah, but I found a guy that has rekindled in my heart the hope that we may see some new and innovative scams soon.
Recently, I read an article that laid out a method of searching mp3 directories across the web for music. I followed the instructions and damned if I didn’t find results for all the searches I made. I was pretty impressed, but seeing as how I don’t download music illegally, it wasn’t of much use to me, so I quickly forgot about the bookmark. Until today. I was trying to download one of the free albums from ytcracker, but the page he directs you to is inaccessible. Then I remembered this incredible link I found, so I fired it up and gave it a spin. Which led me to Wally.
I guess the economic crisis is hurting us all.

I got a 419 scam in the form of an IRS refund notice, which is pretty ingenious. Providing you don’t screw it up by forming the letter in the “illiterate and foreign 5 year old” format that is very popular with today’s scammers, it’s one of the more believable scams I’ve seen. So why am I making fun of them? Well, let’s just say they’re not aiming high enough.

$189.60? Really? I’m going to risk all of my personal data for less than two hundred dollars? Let me tell you something, Mr. IRS scammer. I don’t get out of bed for anything under 500. Shoot me another email when your fictitious refund represents something worth having.
This is exactly why I stick with deposed royalty.

I was browsing through my Akismet spam for something interesting(which very rarely happens) and actually found something that made me smile. It was spam from a search engine optimization (SEO) company.
Here’s the spam, complete with links(don’t say I never did anything for you, Flux!)
Their department of oversight needs some fine tuning.

Reader’s Digest is trying to promote their new online edition by giving away a new Apple iPad to the viewers. One thing that I noticed as soon as I hit the page is that Flash 10 is required to view the page. As everyone(but the promotion crew) knows, the iPad is unable to view Flash content. I couldn’t help but chuckle. To promote their online edition, they’re giving away a reader that can’t view their online edition.
That’s some fine promoting there, Lou.
I thinking you all is a big retarded.

It’s been proven before, but Google keeps confirming that the only way that a free open source system or product will dominate a closed source, proprietary commercial system is if the free open source system is being driven by a commercial, closed source and proprietary entity. Google’s Android system has overtaken the iPhone in sales.
It really isn’t much of a big deal when you take into account that getting into an iPhone is still much more expensive than a phone running Android. Many people are choosing Android because they either can’t afford or don’t want to spend the money required to own an Apple product. It hardly determines a superior product.
Who cares why it’s happening, right? We should just be cheering that open source is finally trampling a proprietary product on it’s own turf!
