01 UGNN Facebook Update: stupid Facebook jokes, stupid people on Facebook,
Biden, news feed and loss of productivity
It's February and Facebook is rolling on with some interesting twists and turns. Interesting to note, is it seems user group activities on Facebook are decreasing and being replaced by the usual junk, cat pictures, politics and off the wall stuff. We still like to track the wonderful world of Facebook . . .

02 CyberSecutiry Update : Malware museum, DOD's Cyber plan, Ben Carson,
Jeb Bush and no word yet from the Dems and more !
Some of the things people will do for a dime astound me. There are so many low-life criminals online than anyplace else you'll ever run across. Taxes are just around the corner so keep a sharp eye out for IRS spoofs. We appreciate the fact that Ben Carson and Jeb Bush have both posted their cyber policies -- good someone has seen that importance. Previously, Jim Webb and Carly Fiorina were the only ones to actually state that threat in the debates -- and both those guys are now out. Unfortunately none of the other professional career politicians like Bernie and Hillary have acknowledged cyber threats at all, being hung up on buzzword politics to get votes.

07 Photohance 1.0
Audience Apps Developers has announced the release of Photohance 1.0, the latest addition to a long list of great photo editing apps developed for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. Most of us own smartphones with high end cameras. As a result, we prefer to edit or retouch the photos that we capture by those cameras right on our smartphones. However, to do that and get great results you need to an app that has a great UI so you can edit these photos right from our smartphone without any hassle.
