Seems like our enemies in the Middle East are in full blown attack mode…this time to compromise Gmail accounts of ordinary folk like you and me. Funny I should read about this today as I just finished Mark Russinovich’s new novel, “Trojan Horse.” This book and his other one, “Zero Day” are all about cyber warfare involving the Middle East and China. Believe me, he knows of what he speaks and most of his material comes the world he knows all to well. He currently works for Microsoft.
But, there is some good information and tech tips in this edition. Trying to decide which new phone to buy. Well, we have reviews of iPhone 5 vs. the new Android Star, the Galaxy S3. And for those of you who don’t want to spend a lot of money, we have a story on the best free phones available. And be sure and check out the story on how to save your eyes when using a computer.
