Eric Lundgren, a recycling entrepreneur, has been sentenced to 15 months in prison for duplicating Dell Restore CDs, which contain Microsoft software. All he wanted to do was extend the life of old computers.

Any of us who want to make a clean install of Windows on our old Dell computer without the original Dell Restore CD are taking the same risk.

The Washington Auto Show is going on this week, where automakers are showing off a bevy of new models of connected vehicles that use their data processing and networking capabilities to provide enhanced convenience, efficiency, safety, and entertainment. However, some detractors see the wealth of vehicle data not as an opportunity for consumers, but as a threat to their privacy.

I was using my Yahoo Email account today (2018-02-02)and it was hacked while I was online!

Someone added a phone number from RUSSIA so they could reset my password...

SO if your email get's hacked, make sure you look to see if there's another phone number listed as a contract number and DELETE IT!

Then change the password!!
