Help, My Wireless Carrier Is Monitoring My Phone

People are worried that their wireless carriers are monitoring all the activity on smart phones to spy on them and do who knows what. For years everyone thought this was just a conspiracy theory, but now a security researcher has thrown a little bit of reality onto the fire. In mid-November, security researcher Trevor Eckhart published a report accusing Carrier IQ of installing malware on more than 140 million mobile phones worldwide. This software...

Hopefully you ate all of your Thanksgiving holiday food and are ready to start your holiday shopping with a bang. Based on reports I read over the weekend, Black Friday was a great success for the brick and mortar stores in the US. A lot of people started their shopping at midnight last Friday or got up to get in line for bargains at 4:00am. As for me, I slept in on Friday morning...

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day in the United States and I was reflecting on some of the things I’m thankful for when doing business everyday. Of course I’m thankful for the great people I work with, my family for putting up with me and for all the customers that I can help. But I’m also thankful all the technology I use. Sometimes using technology can be a real headache, especially when something doesn’t work and...

I had a conversation with an attorney the other day and she was telling me how her law firm is getting Apple iPads for all the attorneys. She said there was a lot of resistance, at first, from her IT department. That’s been the case with many law firms, but improved productivity has won the day. In fact, according to the 2011 ILTA/InsideLegal Technology Purchasing Survey, which examined the purchasing trends of law firms...

It’s been over 11 years since President Clinton signed the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN) into law in the United States, yet there are still people and businesses who question the legality of electronic signatures. This is not as crazy as it sounds, because like many things in the US, state and local laws govern many business transactions. So don’t be surprised if you are confused. A case in point...

Last March I wrote about locking your computer so people don’t steal your data. In the post there’s a great video about one way to do that. It’s a bit severe, but funny. A lot of us don’t take the time to lock our computers, because we forget or maybe we don’t think anyone will try to steal anything. That’s a false hope, because there are too many people who will steal a laptop,...

All you have to do is look around as you walk through a mall, a school or the airport and it’s fairly obvious that the world has gone mobile. It’s almost impossible to go anywhere without kids, teens and adults talking, texting or surfing on a phone. This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, since smart phones and tablets are selling like crazy. Just look at the stats from Apple and Samsung in the...

Passwords are the bane of our online existence. We need them to get into our banking systems, buy songs from iTunes and go into Facebook. But we also have to remember them. Security experts warn us not to use the same password for multiple accounts, since if one gets hacked, they’re all hacked. But we do because it’s easier to remember one than many. They also warn us to make them more complex than...

I was thinking about all the computing devices I use and how they have changed over the years. It used to be that I had a cell phone to make calls and a computer to create documents, send email, work on photos and a hundred other tasks. I would use my camera to take pictures. I had an MP3 player to play my music and maybe a GPS in the car to give me...
