Keeping Your Computer and Data Safe
Research In Motion will reportedly introduce its own tablet computer, called BlackPad, as it moves to compete with rival Apple, which currently dominates the tablet market with its iPad.
Think of it as one more reason not to write checks anymore. Hackers believed to be operating out of Russia have figured out a high-tech way to carry out the decidedly low-tech crime of check fraud.
Hewlett-Packard has confirmed it plans tablet computers running Microsoft's Windows and Palm's webOS. HP will use Windows for a business device and webOS for a consumer-oriented machine.
U.S. consumers are clamoring for the hybrid Dell Streak tablet-smartphone. Despite a large volume of pre-orders on the company's web site, Dell has yet to announce pricing or a firm U.S. launch date.
They're out there on the Net, waiting: hackers, phishers, viruses and worms. And those who fail to protect their computers are just negligent, as you don't even have to spend money to be protected.
Making sure a computer is secure should be a priority, but data security usually doesn't get proper attention until you become the victim of a virus, spyware, a hacking intrusion or online identity theft.
