  • One million Facebook users had passwords stolen by fake apps

    netlingnetling
    The last paragraph sum’s it up… but let’s go a step further!

    ”Logging in with an old-fashioned email address, using a strong password generated with a password manager such as iCloud Keychain, would also be more secure — and private — than Facebook's method.”… now let’s use a forwarding address that’s created specifically for this website/app. Meaning if I downloaded Crazier Birds (made up app) and it want me to sign in, I create a forwarding email, crazybirds1@ForwardingAddress.com and then generate a random password. Worse case, hacks get my login to Crazy Bird but nothing else, not my FB, Google, Apple, etc. the hackers literally cannot go anywhere with this, end of the line. They don’t harvest an emails and if they start spamming my forwarding address, I kill it and no harm done, they don’t get any original personal information. 

    But where and how do I get this forwarding address, great question! Apple started providing this for free, you can even use your own domain for this through Apple. Apple randomly assigned an email for logins. There are also services out there that provides this, Google it!

  • Apple removes fake review identifier from App Store following Amazon complaint [u]

    netlingnetling
    As a product owner and somebody who was in touch with fake spot when it started, I unfortunately have to agree with Apple and Amazon on this one. I had a conversation with the owner who basically said “I can promote any product that I want, how I want!  It’s my company and I don’t care if you don’t like my results whether they’re correct or not“. Needless to say, fakespot said my products had a D rating and we never paid, solicited or manipulated any of our reviews and we had a 4.8 rating after 600 reviews. Being that fake spot does not have access to the real internal review data they are at best guessing the reviews are real or fake, hence Amazon saying that they are 80% inaccurate.

  • Microsoft to release one-time purchase Office for Windows, macOS in 2021

    netlingnetling
    Can you imagine no monthly cost for Adobe Suite? That would be $9000 for the whole suite.

    If it was up to Adobe, they would take our first-born child, force him/her into the Advertising world, not allow for freelancers, especially overseas ones, crush all Open Source competitors and charge us the $9,000 upfront and a year later charges us $5,000 upgrade fee that actually didn't add new features but just fixed the bugs in the original product we purchased, but they would highlight the fact their crappie algorithms from 1990 have been improved by 25%, which is only 10,000% slower than modern updated algorithms they refuse to license or buy from its creators. 

    Long live Quark Xpress!!  Adobe should have never been allowed to purchase Macromedia, period!  While there are competitors to Adobe, none of them are serious hundred million dollars, VC or publicly traded companies other than Corel Draw, they don't take competition seriously, thus it's just there...

  • The new Mac mini is a great machine, but a $499 model could serve a larger audience

    And a $199 model could serve even greater audience.
    Don't get me even started on a $99 model...
    Nope. $199 and $99 are too compromised. There's a reason we picked $499.
    This is EXACTLY what my original comment was when this new mini was released, a $499 model can hit a sweet spot of affordable with limited compromise, for both switchers, low income and education!!

    This also now has me concerned for what the entry price of the Pro model will cost!!

    Great article and completely agreed!

  • Adobe InDesign & Illustrator upgrades will add direct access to 9,000-plus fonts

    netlingnetling
    Adobe is once more screwing people by not actually upgrading their app and providing a crumb to designers, saying "look a bunch of fonts!" Which there are many font foundries and other font outlets, there are also many FREE quality fonts or open source fonts some are at fonts.google.com

    I'm not a big google supporter but if I can put Google against Adobe for better competition... Go to Google for FREE fonts!!!
