Love chatting! It’s like a dirty little secret. Not many people of a certain age or older will own up to a lot of chatting but there’s a reason why so many interfaces – Yahoo IM, AIM, Messenger, Facebook, et cetera – exist. Someone out there is doing it. A lot of it. Thanks to internet 2.0 (soon to be 3.0!), we chatterers don’t have to confine ourselves to a single provider, or spread ourselves thin using several pop-outs at any given time.
We can use all of the chat operators we want …

Recently, one of our clients was victimized in a phishing scam. She got an email from someone claiming to be from MSN Hotmail, saying they were going to close her account in 48 hours unless she was able to provide her email address, password and birthdate. They stole her hotmail account: They changed all her secret questions and birthdate. Then she locked out of her account. Now, we’re working hard to get it back from scammers who wile away their time, emailing her business associates, family and friends, begging for money on ”her” behalf: ”I’m in London and …

If you haven’t been to the Apple Store recently, you must go and see these gorgeous machines. The new displays are incredible and the monstrous 27″ iMac is unbelievable!! (That’s more than two feet, the size of my cousin’s toddler! But really, the screen is the only “monstrous” thing. Everything else is absolutely beautiful.)
On October 20th, Apple unveiled their new Apple Macbook notebook computer. How did they manage the new Macbook so light with the super-serious battery? The most important change will be the new battery, …

Practicality is king in today’s business standards. Practical pricing, practical timing, practical office furniture, practically everything is best when it’s practical. Meetings are not always practical but they are almost always necessary.
Interesting fact: one study recently showed that the people who dislike meetings the most are the ones who are most responsible or getting the most things done in an average workday. That translates to this: the people who “just love meetings!” really enjoy the social experience and free bagels. Now I love bagels as much as the next …

I highly recommend Google’s Chrome. Especially, since it’s now out of beta. It’s super speedy and takes up so little resources. Right now I have FF and Chrome open with about 10 tabs. FF takes up 309 MB ram. Chrome takes up 73 MB of RAM. Plus I love the fact when you open new tab you see your most popular 10 sites. It’s so swift and easy to use. I have the same feeling I did when I first used Firefox.

What does chrome look like? Take a look at my …
