Pop-ups in UGNN web site ???
My apologies for doing such a realistic screen in last week's column, we had several people write to say "There's a pop-up on your web page?" or "You wrote about it, and then it happened!" or "Is it associated with your site?" . . . no folks, it was a graphic intended to illustrate what one of these drive-by pop-ups looks like. I'm glad at least a few of you readers are actually reading! And we thank you for it!

Net Neutrality : Canada bad, India soon, Drudge, Fox News and even Dianne Feinstein!
This is the first Net Neutrality update since the spring, and from lack of news coverage you would think it's all blown over, right. Wrong.
* Net Neutrality isn't going away... seriously
* Sen. Dianne Feinstein is worried net neutrality might help the terrorists
* Canada Is Still Doing A Half-Assed Job Enforcing Its Net Neutrality Rules
* MyGov.in extends the deadline for five days: Net Neutrality Discussion
* CENSORSHIP: Drudge, Fox News face censorship over net neutrality rules
* Verizon Wireless Quietly Shelved All Throttling Back in June
* Obama's Net Neutrality Is Changing Free Speech

UGNN Facebook Update: Facebook should pay US, Gangs, Harvard, Twitter, Professionally Personable
Yes, we continue our relentless chase of what's cool on Facebook, but it's truly impossible because new crap keeps getting shoved in our faces before we can act on the last crap. Paid posts are taking over, and fewer and fewer people are seeing your crap because they're too busy posting their own crap. But hey, it's all really good crap, follow along :
* Police believe alleged gang leader posted a chilling Facebook
update after bloody standoff
* Facebook rescinds internship to Harvard student who exposed a privacy
flaw in Messenger
* Tampa investment advisor faces prison for $9M Facebook stock scheme
* Twitter Inc. Should Fear This Small Test From Facebook Inc.
* Being Professionally Personable on Facebook

* Facebook Should Pay All of Us

Apple iPad InfoManager: iPad ups and downs where is the iPad going ?
Is our love affair with iPad fading? Is it getting more and more ordinary? Has the iPhone and Watch now taken the place of the iPad? Will Apple recover its lead in the tablet field? Questions, questions, questions:
* Apple has a clever idea for an iPad case that changes
depending on the apps you use

Take a hand in helping everyone avoid cybercrime!
When you want to make a difference, start reporting spam and phishing from your email. It's really easy, you just get the addresses, put them in your address book, and when you see a criminal attempt, just forward to the appropriate address. Unfortunately Google does not police gMail, so cybercriminals using Gmail don't get reported. But PayPal, Amazon and most banks have a spam or spoof address. Just today I forwarded one to "email@hidden" . . . . here's the reply I got
