Really
Broad Broadband
"If you're one of the lucky ones,
you'll soon be able to cruise the web at 5 megabits per second
for about $40 a month. There's a catch, of course. Verizon's
Fios program--which runs honest-to-goodness fiber-optic cable
right to your doorstep--is currently only available in Keller,
Texas, with a couple more cities due to come online by the end
of the year. Verizon will also offer a 15-mbps fiber-optic package
(five to ten times faster than cable or DSL) for $50, or $45
if you have Verizon phone service, and a 30-mbps version for
a price yet to be determined." - Steve

Delves into the Desktop
"Google Inc. upped the ante Thursday
in the growing desktop search battle, introducing an application
that combines Web results with those from a user's hard drive."

Tips
and Tricks
Security:
When your Antivirus or Spyware Scanner Says it Can't Fix a File
"Using an antivirus scanner to clean
up after an infection can be a hit or miss affair if the virus
or worm is already running...To fully delete files that have
been found by an antivirus, you need to stop or prevent the
file from running. There are several ways to do this."
- PC Magazine
Security:
Revealing Passwords
"Your computer probably holds dozens of
saved passwords, and that's dangerous. Anyone can sit down at
your computer and recall these saved passwords by guessing your
user name. The password may be hidden by asterisks, but the
Web site or program knows how to interpret them. What you may
not realize is that an intruder can actually uncover and capture
the passwords—and use them anytime from any PC."

Useful Tidbits
Dell Adapter Recall
Dell is recalling 28,000 power adapters for some
Latitude and Inspiron notebooks. It is possible to plug the wrong
power cord into the adapters, posing a shock hazard. Go to http://find.pcworld.com/43714
for a free retrofit kit. - PC World
Online
Sales Should Pick Up
Changes in the behavior of online retailers and
consumers will spur an up-tick in e-commerce spending, says Forrester
Research. The firm expects online retail sales in the U.S. to more
than double over the next six years, reaching $316 billion by 2010.
- PC World
Do you Swap Links with Other Websites?
Did you know that Google does not give you credit
for swapping links with a frame-based website? Search engines cannot
crawl frame-based websites and therefore cannot provide websites
receiving links from frame-based websites credit towards their Google
Page Rank. Conversely, if you have a frame-based website, you may
find webmasters reluctant to swap links with your website.
16 Minutes is All It Takes
On average, 16 minutes is all the time it takes
for an unpatched, unprotected PC to become infected with malware
after connecting to the internet. - MobilePC
