All TVs include a stand to place on a flat surface so if you decide to keep it on the stand instead of mounting it on the wall it's important to secure the TV in the event of that BIG earthquake we keep waiting for! True story, in the 1993 Northridge earthquake my sister's heavy plasma TV literally flew across the bedroom and into the wall - right where she had been sitting just seconds before! You can get an earthquake kit at Home Depot or Lowe's and get your TV and heavy furniture secured to the wall in minutes, possibly saving your life, or the lives of your children and pets.

“Secure” in Chrome browser does not mean “Safe”.

Look at the location bar above. You should see ‘https://www.nameofcompany.com/….’. When visiting any website that you plan to exchange sensitive data with, check the full hostname after ‘https://’ and before the next forward slash. If you don’t recognize it or if it looks like it has some weird stuff on the end, close the window immediately and think carefully about how you ended up on that website.

Then share this message with those you care about. Less technical users may see the word “Secure” and think it means the site is “Safe”. It does not. By explaining to your friends and family what a ‘hostname’ is in the location bar and getting them to double check it, you will probably save at least one person from being the victim of a phishing attack.

Google’s Chrome web browser is used by over 50% of users on the web. When you visit a website that is using SSL, otherwise known as HTTPS or TLS, you see a green message in your browser location bar that says “Secure”. “Secure” in Chrome browser does not mean “Safe”. In this post I will explain …

Regardless of brand or size one drawback on the newer thinner TVs is the lack of room-filling sound because the manufacturers assume consumers will have a speaker system. An investment in good speakers will live through several TVs upgrades and deliver the movie theater experience from the comfort of your own home. The best part? The popcorn is hot, there are no lines and parking is never a problem.

Vizio’s semi-secret viewer tracking software will cost the company $2.2 million, thanks to the FTC and the state of New Jersey.

At issue was Vizio’s “Smart Interactivity” software, which was installed on up to 11 million Smart TVs. The software tracked users’ viewing habits and then matched their IP addresses up with individuals or households to get details like age, s*x, marital status and income. This would then create a profile Vizio could then sell to advertisers.

But Vizio didn’t tell viewers that it was tracking them and the feature was turned on by default. Most customers had no idea it was even there.

In addition to the $2.2 million in payments, Vizio will now have to obtain clear consent from viewers before collecting and sharing data on their viewing habits. It’ll also have to delete all data gathered by these methods before March 1st, 2016.
