Reasons for smartphone slow down, browser hijacking virus revisited (symtoms, virus scanners), creating custom ringtones for iPhone 5 (creating, placing in ringtone directory), Office 2013 subscription (advantages and pricing), geotagging (tracking vacations made easy, dangers of posting in public forums), Profiles in IT (Ori Allon, founder Orion and Julpan), $45M bank robbery without guns (gift card database hacked, spending limits removed, simultaneous worldwide ATM withdrawal), Bitcoin creator may be hording $100M (Satoshi Nakamoto mined 1 million bitcoins while it was easy, waiting for value to increase, very clever), and Boston drops Microsoft Exchange for Gmail (uses Google Doc instead of MS Office, a real threat to MS revenues).
