01 Pokemon Infomanager : beginners' guide, hackers,
. . . Pokemon porn, Pokemon hacks, stupid games?
Five days in, they had already made six million bucks on the latest stipid phone game for people without a life ... oh well, now twenty million users, maybe the InfoManager should take it just a little more seriously -- especially since people are dying with it in their hands.

02 Zoho Notebook
Everyone's note-taking needs and styles are different, and there probably isn't a single app that satisfies them all. To that end, I was pleasantly surprised to see productivity software maker Zoho take a crack at this with its new Notebook app for iOS and Android.
Notebook is drop-dead gorgeous, with a simple interface and a visual organization system that lets you choose covers for your various notebooks and group related notes into stacks.

05 The new malware landscape -- living on borrowed time
User Group Network UGN Safenetting and cyber world report We recently talked about a new malware that doesn't care if you have a Mac or a PeeCee -- and another that is now specifically targeting iPhone users. With the popularity of Apple products, the cybercrime industry has found a rich new hunting ground in Apple users.
There are over 1 million new strains of malware created every day. You no longer have to be attacked in order to be infected with malware. You can pick up malware easier than you can catch a cold, or pick up a bug at the day-care center. Just log into some web sites. On average, over 30,000 SME websites are targeted each day, and to make matters worse, nearly 60% of their IT professionals think they aren't at any real risk of being attacked.
Malware email coming your way! Will you recognize it?

* Google Play Store Malware Steals Photos and Videos from Viber - Neurogadget
* Sophisticated nation-state sponsored malware could shut down electric grid
* China Hacked Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Via Backdoor Malware
* FBI says its malware isn't malware because 'we're the good guys'
* The stupidest ransomware for Windows is also the most dangerous

07 Net Neutrality : Elections, EU rights, the court's decision and more
It's a big old crazy world we live in. First they say yes, then they say no -- what's a web user supposed to do. Well, we've got the June Federal Court of Appeals ruling for'ya, along with a bunch of other good and bad news about Net Neutrality. And we'll just have to see what Donald and Hillary are going to do about it -- but it doesn't look good! Here's the InfoManager's take on the latest Net Neutrality developments :
* Europe's Flimsy Net Neutrality Rules Go Live, Are Actually Worse Than No Rules At All
* After criticism, Netflix allows users to pick streaming quality on mobile
* Court Finds Network Neutrality Rules Both Legal And Bad Policy
* EU rights groups call for more time on net neutrality rules
* June 14, 2016 -- United States Court of Appeals
* Net Neutrality: Comcast, Verizon Violations?
* Letter: Checking up on GOP votes
* Netflix And Net Neutrality
* Faulty powers
If you've got an opinion, we'd sure love to hear from you

10 The past opens the future
Well we knew it had to come to this... I just didn't realize how soon it would come. We're now forced to shed some weight from the UGNN site because we've gone past the ifiles limit for backups. So, systematically we're deleting messages from the 2000s. I'm up to 2006, and there are 4,000 more to go. I've been randomly checking the posts to see if the links are still live, and most aren't. Sites go dead all the time. Others will go to the site but give a 404 = page not found. It takes a lot of time. :-) See'ya next week.
