04 32 Million Breached Passwords
Make strong passwordsStill using your cat's name for your
password? Failing to use an iron-clad password on your important
online accounts is not only asking for trouble - but is making
it easy for cybercrime to perpetuate online crime.
An eye-opener was a recent analysis of 32 million passwords
that were breached.

09 iPad
Of course, many of you have been able to get your iPad by now
and probably have your own ideas about how good it is.
However there were several jounalists that had the opportunity
to use the iPad for a few weeks and have written articles about it.

14 Quotes: Woz on iPad:
"The iPad could lower the cost of acquiring computers for
students. I think it's going to be huge in the education market.
Think about students going off to college.
They want an Apple product, but their parents don't want to
spend that much. Now they have the ideal thing.
They can go to college and someone may have a whacked-out
$6,000 laptop, but the guy with the
iPad will get all the attention."
- Steve Wozniak
