Netflix Phishing Scam

March 19, 2014 by Brian Groce Leave a Comment

Via Huffington Post: Users being targeted by the scam will see a phony webpage modeled after the Netflix login page. When a user enters Netflix account info, the scam site claims that the user's Netflix account has been suspended due to "unusual activity" and then provides a fake customer service number. When the user calls that number, a representative on the phone … [Read more...] about Netflix Phishing Scam

Acer C720 Chromebook

February 1, 2014 by Brian Groce Leave a Comment

From the Indiana Chronicle 2014 Valentine's Day Gift Guide: I’m a tech junkie, so I’m always intrigued by the latest gadgets to hit the market. When Chromebooks hit the market a while back, they caught my eye, as the Netbook as we knew it was on the way out. I loved Netbooks for the simplicity of it, yet having a “real” and familiar OS (Windows). So here we are in 2014 … [Read more...] about Acer C720 Chromebook

Pissing off the Potheads (a DDoS attack)

December 23, 2013 by Brian Groce Leave a Comment

On December 11th I posted my thoughts on the feared Colorado Weed Shortage, and I have a hunch that may have pissed off the script kiddie pothead "hackers". On December 14th an influx of traffic started pouring in which was pretty hard to miss. Most blogs would love to have ten thousand or more visitors in AN ENTIRE MONTH. Eighty thousand in ONE DAY and you'd be running with … [Read more...] about Pissing off the Potheads (a DDoS attack)

New Klout Moments

September 24, 2013 by Brian Groce Leave a Comment

I just received this news from Klout in an email: You have a new moment on your Klout profile. I have had moments before. Sometimes these moments aren't good and require a bit of a break from the norm. I'm kind of scared to log into Klout to ascertain what this particular moment is. I mean, what if it's not a good thing? And then it sends me down a road I'd rather not go … [Read more...] about New Klout Moments

Facebook Life Events

September 3, 2013 by Brian Groce Leave a Comment

Facebook "Life Events". This showed up today and made me ask, why would Facebook just assume that I've lived somewhere besides Indianapolis, Indiana? Yes, it seems like few around here were actually born here. And many people try to leave, but they always end back here. But that's no basis to just assume one is not from here. Technically, I was not born in … [Read more...] about Facebook Life Events

Facebook Timeline: Blizzard of a Fail

December 25, 2012 by Brian Groce Leave a Comment

Tonight is a perfect example of how the Facebook timeline (a.k.a. let us show you what we want to show you and not display the news from the pages you opted in to follow) is majorly flawed. I logged in, which I've not done in a few days, and the timeline displayed posts from the past few days. I switched to the "most recent" display option, same thing and nothing from the … [Read more...] about Facebook Timeline: Blizzard of a Fail
