How to Remember Passwords

One of the issues with creating strong passwords is that they are very difficult to remember. One solution is to use a master password , while the other is presented by F-Secure : Create part of a password that you would remember, like a “pin” that all your passwords share. Do not write this down Create another part of your password based on random numbers and letters based on the website Write down the letter / number sequence but not the pin Based on this method, which is much easier to understand in their step-by-step example, you can combine the pin with the written-down prompts to create unique and difficult-to-hack passwords.

Linux users will need a Microsoft Office license to use Office Web Apps

I spoke to Jeff Teper , Microsoft’s Corporate VP of the Office Business Platform, who runs the SharePoint engineering group. I asked him to clarify something has puzzled me: the licensing for Office Web Apps.

Convert LP’s to Digital

Even though they were made in their millions, LP’s are now quite valuable and so for collectors it is better not to play them anymore to keep the value.

Identity Theft Is Important

Chris Jay Hoofnagle of the University of California wrote a paper for the School of Law entitled “Internalizing Identity Theft.” This paper, using publicly available data, shows how companies often accept erroneous personal information from identity theft impostors when issuing credit. These decisions to accept inaccurate information has led to instances of identity theft. Drawing upon victim and impostor data now accessible because of updates to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the data show that identity theft impostors supply obviously erroneous information on applications that is accepted as valid by credit grantors.

EMC World Boston: The Death of Tape and What’s More Important than Technology

I’m convinced most technology providers don’t fully understand how slowly large companies move to adapt new technology and eliminate old.  Back in the early ’90s, we talked about eliminating tape for backup, and here we are two decades later at a storage event and the customer panel is talking about the recent elimination of tape drives.

How to learn when 53 percent of XO laptops are broken?

The whole point of the 1-to-1 concept is that each kid has a laptop of his own, to grow, explore, develop, together with others but fundamentally on his own, following his own curiosity, interests and giftings, at home, in school, “under a tree”. It is (meant to be) his tool, his learning tool, and where everything else fails (school, teacher quality, access to books, etc), maybe his only tool out of poverty.
