Safety in Switching

Tuesday, May 31st, 2005

Intel’s CEO tells computer users frustrated with spyware to buy a Mac. Security guru Winn Schwartau is “mad as hell” at Windows’s “inherent” insecurity and has switched to a Mac.

A probing analysis of Gwen Stefani’s ‘Hollaback Girl’
I had to rip an Emerson IT manager a new one this week and Gwen Stefani prepped me with her Hollaback Girl song. While the song is great for preparing one for verbal battle, some of the lyrics are a bit… confusing. Google enlightened me and […]
