Private Browsing

You can browse the web without leaving any trace in your Internet browser. We know the fact that it is nearly impossible to anonymously browse the net, however, Internet browsers like Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and Google Chrome will allow you go incognito whenever you wish to browse the Internet.

The private browsing mode will reject cookies and will not keep a surfing history in your cached files. So, other users in using the same computer would not notice where you browse the net or where you had been up to on the net.

Well, in my case, I don’t use private browsing. But if you are using the office computer you can use private browsing, but you have to remember that some companies may have installed software in the computer so they can track where their employees have been up to on the web.

Additionally, remember that websites will still be able to collect information about. Malicious software can still track your keystrokes in exchange of free smileys. Surveillance by secret agents can track and of course, people standing behind you.

Ipad is getting more popular these days. Ipad is no big deal to me. It’s just like a toy or an Ipod touch, which I cannot put it in my pocket or my purse. I know a lot of people like it. But I have my own preference. I still prefer desktop computer and laptop. Anyhow, Dell is planning to release more netbooks and introduced their own version of Tablets named Sparta and Athens (hmm sounds like Greece lol). Sparta is a “netbook tablet”. Athens is a true “tablet netbook”. Sounds intriguing! Table netbook while other one is netbook tablet. I wonder what’s the difference. The netbooks and tablets both have ARM processors. They are 11-inch touchscreens with optional bluetooth, 3G and wifi, built-in camera and mic. They are expected to come out in the market by August. So, watch out for Athens and Sparta!.

I get spam email every now and then. I hate spam email. They are very annoying. I just like the other day; I received an email stating that it was the IRS. It sounds so fishy. In terms of spam email, we should always be cautious and aware of phishy emails playing to be from a legitimate trader, vendor, bank, organization, or government agency. These emails more often than not, ask you to certify your personal information. And typically, they use common statements such as, your account will be closed, there is an order for something has been placed in your name, your information has been nowhere to be found due to technical problems and verify your identity by submitting your SSN, they would say that they are the fraud department ask to verify your information because they suspect you may be a victim of identity theft, a state lottery commission and requested your bank information to deposit their prize money into your account. So, be cautious about spam email.

Do you have a Facebook? I love Facebook. I cannot help myself to check Facebook every day. It is such a great concept. But as a Facebook user, I have to be careful with hackers that target passwords. I just read in the news there are many hackers that flooded on the net with virus-tainted spam that aim Facebook users. These hackers send emails to recipients that their Facebook passwords have been reset. The email contains a convincing power to click a link to obtain new login information. Once you opened the attachment or link, it automatically downloads malicious software in your computer. It included a program that steals passwords. Facebook now warns users about their scam email and advised users to delete the said email. So, be careful with this email. Protect your information and your computer.
