01 Safenetting : Election Year
User Group Network UGN Safenetting and Cybercrime report --
I don't know how many of you noticed, but Romney and Gingrich
were the ONLY candidates last night to mention the Chinese
cyber-invasion against the U.S. While all the other issues,
the economy, jobs, energy, and so forth are of vital importance,
it is very foolish to ignore what could potentially be the
most devastating issue of all. But, that's not the only news
in the world of Safenetting this week ...
* Cyber threats likely to increase this year; phones at risk
* Better Business Bureau warns consumers about popular scams
* Google Chrome Finally Gets Malware Download Protection
* Microsoft refunds victim of Xbox Live phishing scam
* Mumbai is number one for banking fraud in country
* Sites knocked offline by OpenDNS freeze on Google
* Lecture: George Akerlof on "Phishing for Phools"
. . . and more!

03 Autoweek Mag comes to iPad / iPhone
My favorite auto magazine comes to iPad -- for years
I've subscribed to AutoWeek and Road & Track. Both are now
available for iPad users -- both have content plus videos
and other interactive content

04 Photo Sense enhances photos automatically
Photo Sense is a powerful, but very easy to use photo
editing software for Mac OS and iOS. It is designed to make
photographs more attractive quickly and easily, without
spending a lot of time and money on learning, purchasing,
and using professional photo editing software.

05 iPad InfoManager : 1201-08
I got my wife a new MacBook AIR for Christmas and it's a
killer! Now, I'm not so sure the iPad is the coolest device
-- I believe if they put iPad's touch screen for the AIR,
THEN we would have the coolest device yet! Maybe.
* Web traffic patterns suggest Apple's iPad was a dud

10 Setting Up iCloud
As you know, last October Apple made its iCloud service active.
They say it is easy, and mostly it is. However there can be
issues in switching from MobileMe and even from
a none MobleMe user's view point.

14 Apps developers not in U.S.
Here's an interesting tidbit ... as I filter and sift
through hundreds of new apps I'm seeing a break-point
percentage not in the U.S. Seems the Russians ride at the
top of the list of the apps we see come through here --
... just an arm-chair guestimate says we're sending
hundreds of millions of bucks beyond our borders.
Just sayin'
