Cellphones are scary!

I just read this article on our beloved movie stars leaving their cellphones wide open at the Oscars. The company who tracked them draws a correlation to the Paris Hilton incident.

What a bunch of bologni. This was a PR stunt. The newsmedia is clueless, they fell for it.

Paris's phone was never hacked. The service was, and apparently it wasn't all that hard.

Is allowing your cellphone to be discovered via bluetooth really a security risk? Aren't most cellphones requiring user interaction/approval in order to establish pairing, etc.?

There's money to be made in scaring the crap out of people using any kind of consumer technology, that's why everybody does it.

Power Supply

I've just ordered a new power supply for my desktop machine, a CoolMax CX-400B.

I spent a better part of the morning trying to figure out what was wrong with the old one. It's wheezing like crazy. At first I thought it was the fan, but it doesn't look like it. Better safe than sorry.

The birthday girl has deserted me in favor of spending some quality time with her nephews.

Happy 40th

Today is my wife's 40th birthday. I just went out and bought a single pink rose, a birthday card and a Chai Tea.

Tonight we'll have a dinner at Madame K's.

Happy B-Day, Sweetie.
