01 Phishing this week
This week we see a new rise of Twitter phishing and a New
MobileMe Phishing Scam Emerges. There's an alert of phishing
calls to cell phones on rise, as well as a phishing Alert for
Quickbooks Customers. We wrap it up with the latest Symantec
Phishing Report and cautionary advice for the holiday season

-------------------------------------------------------------------
02 Be a Balloon Boy
From the 'now I've seen everything' department comes this
weekend's news of an actual "Balloon Boy" app for the iPhone
-- Want to create your very own 'balloon boy' hoax?
There's an app for that!

-------------------------------------------------------------------
03 True Lies: ATT vs Verizon
You may have read my post about iPhone vs. Droid, and I
mentioned some of the false advertising ploys being lobbed back
and forth between the big three. In the battle between ATT
and Verizon it's difficult to know when one or the other
is telling a lie. But they're all the same!

-------------------------------------------------------------------
04 Droid vs. iPhone?
The IPHONE vs.EVERYONE ELSE debate is heating and the
Verizon vs. AT&T clash has reached a fevered pitch as even
we are trying to decide what to do.
I wouldn't touch the Droid with a ten-foot pole, and here's why.

05 Tweets for Nov. 15
This week's Thweet Tweets is a mixture of cool stuff,
technology, rumors, news from the green world, opinions and
very cool apps. We love the iPhone projector, the Green
car show in Detroit and Apple's recent win to
protect OSX on other computers.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
06 Mac vs PC on You Tube
This is a fun little advertisement on You Tube.

07 What does Gates think about Steve at Apple?
Bill Gates and Warren Buffett recently met with students
at Columbia Executive Business School. A student asked
Bill Gates what he thought of what Steve Jobs had
done at Apple since his return.

08 FLO TV
I just saw an article that says that FLO TV is already
being sold by Best Buy and Amazon. Soon it will be at a
RadioShack (A.K.A. The Shack) near you.

Mac Games and More has announced the release of a new Mac
game called United States of Pool, which is a set of billiards
game that allows you to travel across American stopping off
in various cities to play a match of 9-Ball pool and more.
In order to advance to the next city, players are required

10 10 must have iPhone motorcycle apps
It really becoming interesting to see how many ways you
can slice and dice iPhone apps. This list gives a quick
review of each of the 10 apps that you "must have"
if you ride a bike.

11 Windows 7
I saw Windows 7 today as part of a presentation over lunch
at my full time job. It has several features that look
nice and a few that look familiar.

12 2 Years Ago: EarthDesk for Leopard
EarthDesk replaces the static desktop with an image of the
Earth showing current sun, moon and city illumination, as well
as real-time global cloud coverage, allowing users to track
hurricanes and other weather systems on their Macintosh or
Windows desktop. EarthDesk 4.1 adds a new map option for
a natural view of the Earth from space and is fully
compatible with Leopard (and Tiger).

13 Quotes: Cezanne, Paine
The awareness of our own strength makes us modest.
--Paul Cezanne
I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strenght
from distress, and grow brave by reflection.
'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart
is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will
pursue his principles unto death.
--Thomas Paine
