Computer Tips and Tricks

I know there have been tons of reports and alerts lately from hacker threats. Groups called “Anonymous” and “Lulzsec” have been taking down some monster sites and even attacked the CIA website. I usually try to post some of the more ingenious or threatening ones to my friends on Facebook, but this one caught my eye. The Anonymous group is now drawing their sites on the social networking giant Facebook. The report from CNN says that this will go down on November 5th. Do you think they can take it down?

Be on the lookout for this and check out the report from CNN….

I know, I know. The Internet is all a buzz about Google’s new Chrome Browser

which could be a replacement for Internet Explorer or Firefox as a web browser. Everybody is talking about it. Technically, It has a ways to go before surpassing Firefox in my opinon, but that’s because I like some of the extensions that you can use in Firefox. In other words, I can “Add-on” other applications to run inside the Firefox Browser. But that being said, I like “Chrome” because it’s fast. It takes up less memory. It is capable of terminating a failed TAB page instead of the whole application so you don’t lose all those open pages. What’s not to like about that? It also has a thumbnail view of the websites you have recently visited when you first pull it up. That looks like a direct decendant from the Opera browser, but hey, that’s one of the cool things about Opera.

All in all, I think you should give it a whirl and it’s a very good first release of a browser which I’m sure has some good development talent working on it and we can expect more good things from Chrome. Also, I think all you guys should get away from Internet Explorer. I mean there is so much more to take advantage of out there.
