And honestly, coming from a pc, I wondered how I was going to make that work. Even though the mac is less susceptible to viruses, and I think this is primarily because there are less macs out there, it still makes sense to consider security when you put a computer on the internet. Of course, from Apple’s perspective, this is a win win situation.… [Read More]
In spite of the fact that this woman has died, I find it difficult to be sad for someone who has passed on after living for over a hundred years. My God, the life this woman had! I can’t imagine it, and I can only hope that will live as long a life and be surrounded by loved ones and family when I pass.
However, I do feel for her family who must be grieving at this time, but still they should celebrate the amazing life this woman has led. One hundred and fifteen years, how amazing.
May we all live to be one hundred and fifteen. … [Read More]
So they finally sentenced her, and this article really explains it all. She was not convicted of the felony conspiracy charge, but she was charged on misdemeanor unauthorized accessing of computers for the purpose of causing emotional distress.

I believe that it takes power away from those couples who are desperately trying to seek some societal recognition for the lives they lead. I see nothing wrong with those couples receiving recognition from the law. I see everything wrong with activists for other organizations who have nothing to do with gay marriage on your average day of the week, showing up to make a fuss because it gets their cause back in the newspapers. Grow up. … [Read More]
I wasn’t initially sure that this case would come to court, so this news comes as a bit of a surprise. I am sure I blogged about Megan Meier, the 13 year old who committed suicide because the mother of one of her school friends pretended to be a 16 year old boy on MySpace, who ultimately rejected the girl, who had been previously diagnosed with clinical depression. The alleged offending mother was allegedly aware of the diagnosis at the time that this incident occurred. … [Read More]
