Modman’s Computer Myths & Commentary

COMPUTER MYTH: I’ve got my anti-virus software to auto update, so I’ll always have the latest protection. FALSE  Every time you get on Internet, check for anti-virus updates from your anti-virus software.  We see computers all the time with anti-virus programs that aren’t updated.  It takes all of one minute to check. I see where Google settled a lawsuit regarding their Google Buzz for $8.5 million that Google is going to place in a trust fund to teach about Internet privacy.  I’m sure that will stop them from collecting and harvesting our information. Right.  COMMENTARY:  Well the people have spoken.  Democrats in two years ago, now Republicans.  I guess we’re not going to turn into the 1950 Soviet Union for at least another couple of years.  But we’re still working for China – they’ve purchased most of our debt.  I see the prez and his entourage are heading over to India this week to check out the new billion dollar home.  The guy that built that is pretty smart.  It doubles as a tax write-off for him because that’s where all the Indian telemarketers work from.  I heard the prez wants to get in a resume for him and his staff.  He does have a nice voice. The San Francisco Giants are world series champs.  Does anybody care?  What happened to Cliff Lee?  Vikings fans – how can Brad Childress waive Randy Moss?  It takes a lot of stupid things to get fired from any Minnesota team, but he’s gone.  How were your trick or treaters?  As usual I get less than 10 kids and they’re mostly in high school out looking for Reeses Cups.  I stuff LuLu’s doggie treats in their bags.  MODMAN JOKEFEST:  What’s the difference between a dead skunk in the middle of the road and a dead lawyer in the middle of the road?  The dead skunk has skid marks around it.
