The Clock is Ticking: Tick, Tick, Tick...

 

Unless you have never read a word of Technology Update or have been living in a cave with no Internet access, today marks the day that Microsoft issues its last update for the Windows XP operating system. By next month, the 12-year-old OS will rest in peace, and if you are still running it on your computers by that time, you will have no peace.

 

We'll get into that a little more in our first article, but this Technology Update not all about gloom and doom. Spring begins the travel season, and we have few security tips for your mobile devices and comments on apps to help you stay connected - but hopefully not tethered - to people, places and things from anywhere in the world.

NEWS FLASH

Pop-Ups at XP's 11th Hour

 

"Hear ye, hear ye," the Windows town crier is saying. "It's 11 o'clock for Windows XP, and if you haven't upgraded or made your upgrade plans, all is NOT well." The town crier will come in the form of pop-up messages that can lead to either a bad solution of OS issues or a breach of your security. If you want to eliminate annoying pop-ups and their consequences, ACT NOW OR YOU'LL BE HACKED.

iOS Upgrade and No Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free Card

Apple just released its iOS 7.06 upgrade, and in a recent comment, someone complained about losing your ability to "jail break" your device. Well, you can unlock just about any device, but is it worth it? You could be sacrificing data security.
