Internet Tracking and Privacy

It has been my intention to create a Tech Tuesday's class about Internet Privacy ever since I read the article in Popular Mechanics about it and posted on it earlier in the past year. That will probably be my next class after the Holiday buyers guide.

Until then, there is a new product/addon from Mozilla call lightbeam that will actually track all the sites that are tracking you when you browse the Internet if you use Firefox. You can see what it looks like in the picture below.

I installed the add-on and was amazed at the number of ad tracking sites some of my favorite news sites had attached to them. Check it out for yourself; if it doesn't want you to start private browsing or at least turn off cookies while browsing, nothing will.

Holiday Buying Guide 2013

The Holidays will soon be here!

I will be posting a holiday buyers guide for 2013 for some interesting tech products. Information about tablets both small and large, MP3 players, TV streaming devices and console gaming systems. I will list current prices and tech specs to help you decide what you might want to get that special loved one for Christmas.

If there are any things you would like me to cover or review, please let me know!
