Internet Security. Do We Need Government Intervention?

Hundreds of millions of people access the Internet everyday. These people often place private, personal information onto websites and into e-mails which may or may not be secure.  They are unaware of the countless threats to this personal information. Hari Ravichandran, founder and CEO of Internet security platform Aura shares his personal story:

In 2014 I was surprised to learn that my credit information was stolen. As a result, I spent a lot of time researching what to do. I quickly learned that digital security was a big problem, with no comprehensive solution. The products that were supposed to help me were confusing, difficult to use, and expensive. But, most importantly, no one product could give me all the solutions I needed.

I was inspired to start Aura, a company that gives people the peace of mind to know that they are safe online. Today we serve over a million members worldwide, and together, we will make the Internet safer.

Zune HD Announcement Details

A couple of days ago Microsoft announced the new Zune HD. This addition to their lineup seems to serve as competition to the iPod Touch. The new Zune will feature an OLED display, HD radio tuner, and HD video playback (only when hooked up to a TV). The Zune will also feature a 3.3" touchscreen and Wi-Fi. Internet Explorer will be the mobile web browser for the device (lets hope it's not as bad as the computer version). Microsoft said it also wants to upgrade their video download marketplace, to more content like that of the Xbox 360's marketplace. If you have Xbox Live you know that their are tons of videos in the marketplace. But the big question is... Will it kill the iPod Touch?

Unboxing: New Ipod Shuffle 2009

Hey Guys,

Here is my quick unboxing of the new Ipod Shuffle that I recently purchased from the Apple store.  For the past day that I have used it, I have enjoyed it.  It is sooooo small and is almost non-existent as far as weight is concerned.  It has a study, solid aluminum structure that I like and as with all Apple products, in my humble opinion, looks fantastic.  The only gripe I have is the control setup.  The new Shuffle is controlled via a pill sized button layout on the headphones.  This can be annoying and because only Apple makes headphones with these special controls, it makes you buy Apple's in-ear headphones if you want better audio quality.  Check back for a full review in the near future.  Thanks for watching and enjoy!

How to hook up your Xbox 360 using HDMI

Here is my video on how to hook your Xbox 360 to your HDTV using a HDMI cable. HDMI allows for optimal video quality and is easier that hooking all of those cables you use to hook it up otherwise. The cables I used in my video came with my Xbox 360 Elite console. If you have any questions or concerns contact me via my YouTube channel. Thanks for watching and please subscribe! :)

How to Build a Custom External Hard Drive 

Why build an external Hard Drive when you can go out and buy one, you ask? I will tell you why. In today's economy everyone is trying to find the best ways to save money right? Here is the deal... If you build an external Hard Drive, you can save more money as opposed to buying one from Best Buy. This is because people don't want to buy the parts and build it or don't know how. I bought my parts from Newegg.com and they offer great variety and discounts on computer parts. As Winston said before... BACK UP YOUR DATA! Here is my video showing you how to build your very own external hard drive...
