Secure site…
Internet is n
ot safe place for information nowadays due to hackers. I bet you, you’re thinking right now how you can tell that if a website is secure. People nowadays are into online shopping. I personally like it too. Now, let’s go back to the question, “How do you know if the site is secure?”. There are some ways to know if the site you are browsing is safe from hackers. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) uses a compound system of key exchanges between your browser and the server you are communicating with in order to encrypt the data prior to transmitting it across the web. A web page that has an active SSL is a secure site.
A secure site usually has an icon of SSL but don’t just rely on that. It might be a fake icon. First check the web page url. Typically, every website’s url starts with http:// (notice my url) but a secure web page has “https”. Did you see the difference? It has letter “s” at the end. Try login in at yahoo mail or gmail; you will see https:// which means it is a secure page. And also look for a Lock icon at the window browser and at the bottom right corner of the browser. To verify if the Lock icon is genuine—double click on it and read the security information of the site. There are many SSL Certificate vendors such as Verisign, GeoTrust, SSL.com, and many others. So, browse safely and protect your personal information.

Best Buy’s Vending Machine
I read in the news that Best Buy has recently launched a 
pilot program to install vending machines that dispense consumer electronics in major airports around the United States. I wonder if this idea would click or pan out . They have planned to distribute twelve (12) Best Buy Express machines to airports in Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Minneapolis and San Francisco on September , that is next month. It said that credit cards are accepted to purchase any electronic stuff, no cash! You will find cell phones, digital cameras, flash drives, MP3 players, headphones, travel adapters and chargers in this vending machine. I wonder if you can use debit card for this vending machine. The Vice President of Strategic Planning for Best Buy stated, “The launch of Best Buy Express is another way for Best Buy to provide consumers with the products they need from a brand they trust, even while they’re on-the-go”. Notice how every thing comes in handy now; there is a dvd rental machine, soda/snack vending machine, etc. I can say that, vending machines are great ideas!

Tropic Thunder
We watched the movie “Tropic Thunder” on Thursday at the drive-in Theater here in our place. We were kinda frustrated because it didn’t turn out to be as good as we expected. It did have some good reviews but I guess, it depends on the viewers. The movie has a lot of cussing words, silly and crude jokes. Well, that is the comedy movie trend nowadays. Overall, the movie was just “Ok”, no big deal. Actually, Tropic Thunder is controversial because of the portrayal of “Simple Jack” as retard including in this movie and it offended the disability groups
