Hackers claiming to have hundreds of millions of iCloud credentials have threatened to wipe date from iPhones, iPads and Macs if Apple does not fork over $150,000 within two weeks.

Microsoft faces a metric mess of Windows and Office bugs after last month's respite.

On Tuesday, March 14, Microsoft released a big crop of patches for every version of Office since 2007 and every version of Windows since Vista. Many of those patches are broken. We're only beginning to document the fallout.

Our dystopian future of machine learning breaking bad is already unfolding before our eyes.

Ok, here is another Open Talk topic that I would like to get some information about. I have been thinking about getting a personal weather station, not because I need it, but just because I am a gadget geek and like to follow the weather. It seems like it would be an interesting hobby.

Well again, we're getting snow on Long Island, and again, I can't enjoy it. Have to go into work and just be there. Why did I start in tech support?

Just downloaded the Dunkin Donut custom POI file. But why? I just have to ask it to "find place" and then Dunkin Donut. I see direct advantages to red light alerts, but not much so in the DD poi. What am I missing?

This week we’re recognizing, Metricman!

Metricman has been with POI Factory for over 8 years!

A couple of weeks ago he uploaded the new Virginia Fresh Water Trout Waters POI file and a couple of companion files that go with it. If you're planning to visit that area you should definitely check them out.

I do enough travel across time zones every year that I easily adjust to the new time. That said, I personally would rather not change.

What is your opinion about Daylight Savings Time (for those who have to change)?

I had an SD card that would not read and could not be formatted. I found a Panasonic utility that can read and reformat an "unreadable" card. Info and a download link for the utility can be found here:
