The Homeland Security 419

Fake of America Email
Every day is like Christmas when I open up my junk mail folder. Today’s gem proclaims to be from Bank of America, but since it’s obviously fake, I’m calling it “Fake of America” in this article, or FofA.

Most people are annoyed by junk email. I find enjoyment from it for some odd reason. Perusing today’s junk folder, I ran across this one with the subject of “Business Proposal” from Sir Terry Leahy. Wow, he has the title “Sir” so he must be important, huh? So this guy wants me to find something in which to invest, and he’ll help me out. Oh, so this can’t be like the typical 419 scam I … Read entire article »

Sumas 10″ Tablet Review: This Tablet is Hard to Swallow
I went to a local Fry’s to purchase a relatively inexpensive tablet for a Christmas gift. After looking at all the options and talking to the associate, who seemed to know what he was talking about, I opted to pick up the Sumas 10.1-inch tablet, the PC SMT-102PAD. In fact, I bought two of them as gifts. My girlfriend picked up one for herself. At $179 each, the 10-inch screen and 1ghz processor seemed like … Read entire article »
