In this video we discuss phishing (fishing) for information, email hijacking and ways to avoid it. One of the most common questions I get, is how to avoid bad emails and links. Unfortunately it's not an easy "Do this..." type of answer. The reason it's not easy is because the bad guys are always devising new schemes to trick you! However I try here to provide a couple general, very useful tips to keep yourself safe.

In this third and final video on Picasa we discuss how to edit, crop and enhance your photos. I demonstrate how you can make your pictures look better with just a few clicks. I also demonstrate how to add some effects to your photos and demonstrate my favorite tool: saturation.

Many people browse facebook without even the most basic protections. We have put together a short 2 minute video that demonstrates how to enable SSL (Secure Socket Layer) to ensure your facebook tramissions are encrypted. You can then see the result of this, and know your information is protected when you see "https" across the address bar, instead of the classic "http". The S at the end indicates it's secure.

In the first of this three part series, we showed you how to use Picasa to organize and manage your library of pictures. In this video we demonstrate a super-awesome feature, sharing to facebook through Picasa as well as sending your pictures to your local store.

Have thousands of pictures that need to be organized? Need a better way to transfer pictures into your computer? Today's your lucky day! Picasa - a free program from Google is an excellent, powerful photo management tool -- and more! Best of all, it's fast and easy to use. So ditch that cheezy program that came with your camera and download Picasa.

I had a customer a while back who was upgrading his multimedia center... the works, new TV, Surround sound etc. I was asked what type of multimedia device should he get for Netflix and other streaming content from the internet.
