PGP on iPhone / iPad
I had a need to use PGP (instead of S/MIME) for secure email. After looking around and trying a few I chose IPGMail. It is simple to use, has the features, has been very stable and cost $2. If you are looking to use PGP on an iOS device I like this one. –Chris Technorati [...]

Continue reading...Security for Web Meetings?
25. June 2008
I am seeing an increased need and proliferation of web based collaboration tools. WebEx, GoToMeeting, MS LiveMeeting, etc. While these tools are necessary as we see people and organizations looking for collaboration, how secure are they? A couple concerns come to mind. NOTE: I have not done any research into this nor read much of [...]

26. October 2007
I saw this today over at CrunchGear. A completely un-attended OSX Leopard upgrade. Yes, you probably can do this on Windows.

4. November 2006
I have about 6 different email addresses that I use Outlook 2003 to manage. So far I have tried McAfee’s AntiSpam client, Spambayes and Norton’s as well. My personal opinion is that McAfee’s and Norton’s suck when it comes to their detection rate. Spambayes does a much better job but it’s system requirements bring Outlook [...]

1. November 2006
For those who deploy Windows XP from CD you know what a pain it is to have to apply all the updates to a fresh install. Back a few years ago I used a technique called slipstreaming where you could create a WinXP install CD that had these updates already included. It was a bit [...]
