People in the US don’t always know how good they have it compared to people in other countries.
Sure, you’ll complain about bad WiFi networks or crappy cell service, but at least you’re not trying to use the Internet while in a different country.

How many of you have installed some piece of Internet-enabled equipment in your home?
And how many of you have left the default password the same on the device, thinking “who bothers with that kind of thing?”
As cars get more and more sophisticated these days, so do criminals who are out to get you or your vehicle.
Where old-school James Bond villains would merely attach tracking devices to your rear axle as you drive away, today’s criminal minds can be more nefarious – and perhaps even untraceable.
So you’ve decided to buy yourself a new ANDROID PHONE.
Nothing wrong with that.
But what are you going to do with your old device before you sell it?
We’ve all seen at those silly Stick Figure decals that are on the back of some cars.
Perhaps you’ve seen this one:
If you’ve been following the news lately, you’ve heard of Heartbleed and its effect on numerous websites that previously were thought to be secured via your HTTPS connection.
That little “lock” symbol may not have been as locked as you were lead to believe.
But what if we told you that Heartbleed was nothing to sneeze at, and why you shouldn’t be worried at all about Heartbleed in the first place?
Web Watch has told you about how to make your online passwords harder for hackers to easily guess.
But apparently, people are still not paying attention. Yet again, we’ve hearing news reports of leaked hacked passwords list, and “password” and “123456” are still at the top of the list of passwords being used.
How bad is this? Maybe it all depends on which websites you’re using it on.
Quick show of hands: how many of you have an unlisted phone number?
Especially in today’s world of cellphones, the notion of a “phone book” that is printed on paper and delivered to your house is almost laughable. People purposefully have their phone numbers listed in a phone book as part of being neighborly and accessible, but with the Do Not Call list and robocalls and other phone annoyances, more and more people are choosing to go off the grid (for personal or professional reasons).
With a cell phone, your number is pretty much already unlisted. Nobody should be using your cell number unless you provided it to them.
And so what’s the big deal if someone had your number anyway?
