Yes very true. There are people that just drive around and when they get close to an open computer they can hack into it and do anything they like. I say hack, but actually it's not even hacking. They just turn on their laptop and your computer is cold turkey.

No one mentioned cell phones, but the same warning applies. People don't know that their cell phones are an open book. When your cell phone is turned off it still sends out signals to the whole world thanks to the new microchips built into them.

Not only that but there are scanners in such areas as maybe Russia that scans all cell phones worldwide 24 hours a day. They can pin point your house thanks to the U.S Censuses and Goggles. Look at the new Google Earth software. What people see is the tip of the iceberg. If you want to pay money that software can do almost anything. Put in a street number, a phone number, a cell phone number, an area code, a zip code and you turn into mud in color.

Have a nice day :)

Thanks for posting this article. I removed all my porno files and saved them on to disk. Better to be safe than sorry.

Daily Horoscope for December 26

Sagittarius

Mercury turning retrograde in your house of finances carries a rather unseasonal message, because it's telling you to pay attention to your finances over the next few weeks. If you already know that you've overspent this month, you won't need to be told that a few economies are just around the corner. Get the facts straight and pay attention to the small print. You may also have to make some adjustments to an intimate relationship so it can move into another phase.
