The Alarming Rise of WiFi Crime

The Internet is fast becoming the biggest criminal enterprise in the world. With a 3.4 percent increase in reported crime between 2010 and 2011, Internet crime is definitely on the rise.

The top 10 countries with the greatest reported Internet crimes are, in order, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, India, Puerto Rico, South Africa, France, Germany and Russia. Combined, they represent 94.56 percent of all cases of web criminality.

While there’s no sure fire way to avoid becoming a victim, diligence and preparation can go a long way. Ensuring your business is PCI compliant is a solid step. The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards were engineered by major credit card companies looking to provide services to protect credit card information across the Internet. Today, businesses are required to be PCI compliant when accepting, storing and transmitting credit card data.

Bandwidth Plus for Mac Review

There are too many apps out there these days that overload their feature list. Sure, a feature heavy app sounds great in theory. But the truth is, most have more tools than you will ever use, some entirely unrelated to the main purpose of the original program. Instead, it is increasing the file size so it takes up more space, and may possibly limit the speed that it runs. No one wants an app that has a slow loading time thanks to features you didn't even know it had.

How Do I Get Free WiFi Everywhere?

I don't know about you, but my mobile web reception sucks. Sure, it works in most places I spend my days. But it is slow, unreliable, and if I am out of town? Forget it. I might as well be trying to surf the web on a freaking rock.

Because of this, my love of free WiFi is extreme. I tend to choose where to give my patronage by whether or not they offer free WiFi. I book hotels that have it, I go to coffee shops that provide it, and I even refuse to go somewhere that asks for paid access. I mean, who would honestly want to pay to use an internet connection for a few minutes at a time? If I wanted that, I would go to an actual internet cafe, thank you.

Anyone wondering how to make sure they always get free WiFi have come to the right place. As a dedicated signal hog and cheapskate, I can honestly say I am good at weaseling out that sweet, sweet Internet. Sadly, I can't promise you will find free WiFi anywhere, but pretty close.

How to Transfer Files over WiFi between Android and PC

When it comes to copying files to and from your Android phone or tablet the normal way is to use a USB cable from your computer to your phone. It works absolutely fine that way but there's a few reasons why you'd want to have an alternative to the cable method. One alternative is WiFi transfer.

The first reason is that you don't have access to a cable. It might have broke, got forgot or even lost - or if you're like me then you might just be too lazy to go upstairs to get it haha - but if you don't have one then there is absolutely no way for you to use a cable to transfer your files.

There could even be problems with using the cable, for me my cable is too short to use without a USB extension. Or your cable port might be broken. I use a Galaxy Tab 10.1 as my primary Android device but the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 came out last year if your looking to get a decent Android tablet.

Unboxing: iPad mini (16GB White WiFi)

Well, here it is, guys! The unboxing of my first iPad. I've always been a fan of small tablets, as you know from my previous purchase of a Nexus 7. Now that Apple makes one, this device seemed like the perfect fit for me. I'm excited to explore the tablet world with an OS I know and love. Expect tons of videos in the coming week!



As mentioned in the video, my first impressions are that the iPad mini is extremely light, thin and well built. The non-Retina display is not a problem at all, for me. I was expecting much worse from what I'd heard in the media. I haven't experienced lag at all yet and the 7.9" screen is wider than most tablets of a similar size, making it seem much larger when it use. In short, I'm in love. But expect a first impressions video ASAP.

Questions about the iPad mini? Leave them in the comments below. Thanks for rating/subscribing/watching! You guys ROCK!
