PDAs Ripe for Hacker Attack
According to this report, PDA's (like my trusty Palm Pilot) should not be used to store any critical or confidential information, as they are vulnerable to hacker attack. So, make sure none of your Trib Force members have sensitive information on a wireless Palm or one that is synchronized over a network.

Study: Net crawling with hidden, snooping bugs
Another news report on web bugs, this one from CNN. Bugs. Now I feel all itchy.

Web Bugs Are Tracking Use of Internet
I hope this is not news to anyone. According to the article, "The use of bugs to track people and to create profiles of them becomes more powerful and, some privacy advocates argue, more problematic when the technology is used by a network of sites linked to some third party." So, I wonder, how safely could Tsion Ben-Judah and Buck actually post their messages on the Internet without their net use being tracked? How would they conceal their IP addresses? In the novels, both Tsion and Buck had very popular web sites that the GC was unable to shut down. In reality, they would have to have their own ISP, servers, etc. to do that, right? If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

Claiming The Internet For Christ
In an online world full of evils like pornography and hate, is there room for people of faith to "set up camp" in cyberspace? A recent article online at the Christian Times answers with an enthusiastic "Yes," looking at several inspiring stories of individual Christians and ministries who, instead of condemning or avoiding the Internet, have put it to work in the service of evangelism and ministry. Read about several people of faith who are working to claim the Internet as a medium for spreading the Gospel's message of truth and hope. The article includes a great quote by Dr. Quentin Schultze (IFC/Gospelcom.net Special Consultant), "To turn over the Internet to the forces of evil is counterproductive....There has to be a Christian presence on the Internet."

Armey Wages Privacy Crusade
Are we living in a surveillance society, a police state? Not if U.S. Rep. Armey has anything to say about it. And, as House Majority Leader, he does.
