Technology

Some of you know that I'm heavily into technology, gadgets, computers and electronics. Some of you just think I'm a tile guy. That's OK with me, I enjoy it when I've been underestimated. The point of this post is to let everyone know that there is a whole other world out there that takes things and makes them work better...more efficiently or changes them to do something else altogether. It's called hacking. I know that word strikes fear into people that don't really understand hacks, but I'm not talking about ruining someones computer. That's for punks that cause problems rather than help solve problems.  Those idiots are called "crackers" and I would love to see them eradicated from the face of the planet. They give true hackers a bad name. I actually am a hacker and I'm proud of that distinction.

Virus writers and scam artists are douchebags with the sole intention of screwing things up or stealing from good honest folks. They prey on people who have limited knowledge about the devices they use everyday. I encourage you to READ every popup and to take the time to not just accept any file or program that you did not seek out for yourself. If a popup says "You have been infected with such and such virus...click to install our program" it is most definitely going to slow down your computer. It is also most definitely itself a virus, spyware or malware. Be wary of free stuff, it's usually a trap to get your information, contacts or to steal your money. Just my two cents, but I hope it helps everyone!
