Parting Shots
- Have We Given Up Privacy?
- Sure, we can protect our computers, but have we given away privacy by using more and more smart devices?
- Which Way, FCC?
- And, of course, there's the whole net-neutrality debate. The FCC has wasted over a year on this mess and it seems to still mire them.
The PostScript
- Wisconsin Do Not Call List
- It won't stop the annoying political solicitions, but if you get your cell and landline numbers in before March 1st, you'll be on by April 1st. Since there's no charge for this and no penalty to doing it more than once, do it once a year... on New Year's!
- Support Our Military
- Locate the email address for your service person with help from the US Armed Forces News Service. And the popular America Supports You site run by the Department of Defense is now Our Military.
- The Den
- What does The ComputerGuy do when he's not on the show with Bob? He blogs about politics and life. Also, catch up with him on Facebook
