03 Facebook Timeline Maches On!
Time is running out. If you have not set up your Facebook Timeline
yet, in just a few days Facebook will do it for you. It will literally
say, you were born... then you joined Facebook. Now let me be clear...
nerds don't wane nostalgic over trivial things like baby's first
steps, or first words; we care about when you first saw Star Wars or
beat Super Mario Bros. So why not nerd-out your Facebook Timeline?
Here are some events we're sure you'll want to add to make your social
life (at least look) complete. by Jennifer L. Jacobson

05 Ez Budget for iPhone
After paying off $28,000 of debt in just ten months, newly married
and only two years out of college, Derek Clark decided to create
budgeting software that anyone could use. Budgeting can be hard and
most software makes the process more frustrating. Ez Budget attempts
to solve both of these problems by providing a simple software
interface to the tried and true method of envelope budgeting. It does
this by securely syncing with your bank account and downloading your
transactions.

08 Does 5.1 make your iPhone 4S a 4G?
This article from CNET does a good job of explaining why after
upgrading an iPhone 4S the logo in the upper left hand corner suddenly
says 4G.

10 WOW ... did we wander from our mission?
An Infomanager reader wrote in to say :

I went back and looked over the materials for the past few weeks, only
to find that there really isn't that much "computing" news or info to
report on! The whole industry seems to have been swept away in mobile
device heaven, wrapped up in smart phones and tablets.
We'll dig deeper for more computing info to pass along!
Sorry
You could always help out by passing along YOUR discoveries ...

12 US Government White Paper on Privacy
Privacy on the web is extremely important, and is what we've all
come to expect as we browse for personal goods and enter sensitive
information on websites. But if you read this white paper from the US
government, you may fear that they haven't gotten it yet. This
outlines a framework for protecting this privacy and promoting
innovation in the global digital economy. Too little, too late.

13 Port 43 Failures Continue to Haunt
On February 16, 2012 ICANN took the new step of suspending the
Registrar Alantron's ability to register new names or accept inbound
domain transfers. This new compliance tool was used following
Alantron's apparently inadequate response to a breach notice issued
November 7, 2011. The issue in part concerns Alantron's perpetual
problems with Port 43 WHOIS access which is required by the Registrar
Accreditation Agreement.

14 Quotes: Jackson Brown and Harry Truman
"Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same
number of hours per day that were given to
Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa,
Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein."
- Jackson Brown
"I never did give them hell.
I just told the truth, and they thought it was hell."
- Harry S Truman
