The MacBook Hack Overlooked Facts!

Some in the Mac space even one of the editors here on GNC think the recent MacBook hack was not fair, but I think the follow up post on the Washington Post is pretty clear why they used a third party wireless card, its because Apple pressured them not to show that the Mac's own wireless cards are hackable!

The MacBook Hacker Joke

I am going to start with a small knock knock joke. Knock Knock...... Who's there? It's a third party wireless card.... Third Party who?..... third party i just hacked your computer!

Will you use AOL now that it will be Free?

I was forced to use a AOL account at a relatives house 4 or 5 years ago, it was the first time on the service, the experience was not pleasant and the bloated interface was horrible. Needless to say my impression before, after and now have not changed. AOL filled a need back when people could not get overcome the
