AP Exclusive: Network flaw causes scary Web error -
Yahoo! News:
According to this story, their coverage map, isn't
the only problem AT&T has right now.
Seems sometimes when people try to log into their
Facebook pages from their cell AT&T phones,
they are winding up at other people's Facebook
pages. The truly scary part here is that the
people getting to these pages by mistake, are
landing on them with full access to private
information on that page. Sure makes me glad
I don't do Facebook, or even Twitter my time
away. And that I learned a long long time
ago, there is NO such thing as true privacy on the
net. There are too many hackers, crackers,
trolls, and things can go wrong for that to
exist. Read

Beware of bogus Haiti relief scams

As I was catching up on what is going on around me
by reading the news headlines this morning I came
across across a story that reminded me some
criminals are always eager to take advantage of
disaster. For those of you wanting to make a
donation to the victims of the earthquake in Haiti,
please read this story,
FBI Warns of Bogus Haiti Online Donation
Scams
first, and make sure the donation you are making is
actually going to those victims, and not in the
pockets of some low life cyber criminal.
However, Snopes has said the messages posted on
Facebook that you can
Make
a $10 donation to the Haiti relief effort by
texting the word Haiti to 90999 are
true.
Please do be aware the $10 donation will be charged
to your cell phone bill, and NOT made by some other
charitable organization or donor.
My perusal this morning of the technology news headlines this morning also made me more aware the Google Hack has raised many concerns concerning China.
And on an Oddly Enough news note, Montenegro's only hippopotamus has escaped from the mountainous Adriatic nation's zoo.

Timeless ripples

This morning my desktop picture is one I took at
the
Sonora
Caverns.
It is one side of what is called Horseshoe
Lake. My camera lens captured the ripples
from a couple of drops of water falling from the
cavern ceiling. It is tiny drops of water
that helped form the magnificent formations found
throughout those caverns. Centuries worth
tiny drops of water went into those
formations. Read More...
What a drag that must be

I was gazing at my desktop picture this morning,
which is one of the pictures I took while on
the
Samhain
Sashay,
and recalling that wonderful moment when I took
that picture. What an experience it was to
see those buffalo, and gaze into the watchful
eye of the herd bull. I've been blessed with
many such experiences in my life.

Frozen Fog

As I was waiting for my second cup of tea to brew I
once more looked out the window, and stood staring
at the scene before me with astonishment.
"Did it snow last night or this morning?" I asked
Larry. "No." he replied, "That's frozen
fog." As with snow, we do occasionally see
fog out here. But, never in all my years in
west Texas have I seen frozen fog before. The
sight of the frozen fog was so amazing to me I
grabbed the camera and took a photo of it through
the kitchen window. Read
