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.

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, […]

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?

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 […]
