Android viruses and other nonsense
I've been seeing a lot of buzz about Android security lately.
As an Android user, this just supports the feelings I had about the issues I've held personally on the whole matter.
Malware, Viruses and Lost Productivity.
Generally I'm a pretty patient guy who accepts people for who they are and don't wish anybody harm. But I really, really hate the people responsible for creating computer viruses, malware and phishing spam! They cause nothing but misery and aggravation for others.
Free Wifi and Personal VPNs
Wifi: I love it. What a great technology, and it just keeps getting faster. We're now talking about Gigabit wireless networks.
And when you're on the go there are tons of free hotspots waiting just waiting for your connection.
If you're out and about with your laptop/netbook/smartphone, then you probably opt to use these free wifi providers over 3g data plans.
But how safe is that? These can be minimal security internet gateways.

Media related Lullabot podcasts
I discovered Lullabot recently and I'm getting caught up on their poscasts and screencasts. It's great insight into the Drupal community and Drupal development.
Here are a couple of good ones to get started with images and media:

Will NetBeans survive the Oracle takeover?
As a big fan of NetBeans, I was really happy to hear that IBM called off their plans to acquire Sun Microsystems. With IBM in control of Eclipse (enemy #1 for NetBeans), I knew the future would be dim for my favorite IDE. Even though NetBeans is Open Source, Sun has been actively funding the project for years. IBM wouldn't likely not have the same priority.
