The proper care of a laptop.
The laptop is becoming more and more popular as a primary computer. Many families are adopting them because their portability outweighs their comparative drawbacks in all other areas. If you want to keep your laptop running as well as it can there are a few things you need to do.

Never lay your laptop on a bed or couch. Your laptop is a computer and as such it has a motherboard,  a hard drive and other components which create a great deal of heat. In order to dissipate this heat your laptop has to exhaust air via vents. These vents are almost always on the bottom of the laptop[. When put the laptop on any soft fabric surface like the comforter of a bed you might as well be putting a pillow over its face. Place the laptop on your lap, a lap board, a table or any flat hard surface that will allow airflow under the machine.

Hit the openings with compressed air every now and then. Dust can get in the crevasses of the machine and a blast of compressed air can really help clear it out. It won't get rid of all of the dust because the laptop's compact size makes that nearly impossible, but it will help.

be careful of your laptop's ports. When you have a USB cable plugged in or your laptop's power cord is plugged in be extra careful. These plugs can be hit and bent. If this happens the internal connectors on the motherboard can be irreparably damaged thus necessitating a motherboard replacement. Baby your laptop's ports and they will work for a long time.  

 

Always completely shut down your laptop if you plan on not using it for a while. If I am not going to use my laptop for more than an hour I shut it completely down. This has the benefit of saving  all of the components wear and tear and it refreshes the memory and updates the operating system with any installed updates or programs.

 

If you follow these steps your laptop should work a lot better in the long run.

Your credit card may have been stolen at the corner pizza place but is being sold online.
The internet is not only a place where identities are stolen, but also where they are bought and sold. Here is an article about one such a transaction and the chat log that went along with it.

Your government keeping you safe on the internet.

This is a pretty cool story of the FBI shutting down a massive criminal botnet. I've talked about botnets before. These are millions of compromised computers that are harnessed together in order to benefit criminals who rent time on them. Well the feds have put the kibosh on a massive botnet and it looks like the feds  have things well under control at least for the moment.
