I’m fairly certain that since they are high profile, they are attacked all the time along with Google, Microsoft, Apple, Yahoo, Amazon and just about any other high profile company. They are very forth coming and it is in their best interest to do so. Otherwise, you have a Sony who sits on a breach for three weeks…

The security incident only got email address, password hashes and password reminders, not the encrypted passwords or the encrypted vaults. If you use two-factor it still would have done no good if they did get your vault and password. The fix after they noticed the anomoly is to just change your password and that…

Pretty cool. Yeah, reading Korean is not bad, but speaking it is an entirely different game. When I lived there it was handy to learn to read it for using Korean only maps or menus in small restaurants. I’ve completly forgotten it after leaving there.

Spanishpod101.com is one of 30+ languages offered by innovativelanguage.com. I’m currently learning Hindi through their hindipod101.com site and love it. They have sales and deals all the time so I have yet to pay full price for anything.

If you are back from the Caribbean, you could always play this video on a second screen.

The funny thing is it’s 2015 and this stupid dispensing method is still around. They need to send all snack machine vendors to Japan for a month and learn from the masters of dispensing machines how to design these things the right way. You can get just about anything you can ever image from a vending machine there.

No mentions of security cameras and web cams pointing everywhere, but yeah....there are millions out there and most of the time you don’t know about them. So if you are going to be stupid in public, you’ve been warned.

You should probably check out LightFlow for Android to control your notifications. That is what I use to control not only sounds, beeps and boops, but also pop-up notifications now present in Lollipop. When you first set eveything up it takes a bit of patience to tweak the settings in the app you are trying to control…

Balls (or a ring) of aluminum foil work too in a pinch. These methods work in a crockpot as well.

The mandatory cooking tome for anyone that shops at a Farmer’s Market or is part of a CSA: Vegetable Love by Barbara Kafka and Christopher Styler

Grow a Rosemary bush outside and pluck off a stalk when you need a brush. It has the bonus of adding some flavor as you baste.

Works for instruction manuals too.

You need to check this book out for all the crazy things you can make in your rice cooker. It has good tips for trying some of these in a basic cooker.

If you can find the text of the menu online you can cut and paste it into the notes sections if your contacts app has that section. I do this for business entries putting the hours in there. I suppose you could use OCR to scan it as another method.

Whoa....this is genius!

Shipped yes. Depending on y0ur needs, Ubuntu may work. I’ve been Windows free for 4 years and haven’t looked back. Now to be honest, I’m not much of gamer so it wasn’t that hard to switch. System76 does sometimes put the Windows Drivers for their hardware in their support section if you wanted to switch back to…

I would guess it is since System76 doesn’t actually make hardware. But they do certify it to work with Ubuntu 100%.

I’m doing it through the Hindipod101.com website which is one of the 31 languages offered by Innovative Language. It’s decent and they have sales all the time, so once you sign up you can take advantage of great discounts and never pay full price for the premium service(s). They have a free service too where you can…
