Today from CBS News;

I read a story today that people who charge their cellphones in public places are at a high risk of being hacked... especially if the charging cord or charging adapter isn't theirs.

Hackers have found a way to manufacture iPhone charging cords with microchips embedded in the USB connector. They look like normal cords, but If you plug your phone to charge from one of these cables it can compromise the security of your phone and allow someone to hack into your phone.

One version gets into your phone while it appears to be harmlessly charging the phone. then via Wi-Fi signal a hacker nearby can capture your password, unlock your phone, change the password and steal sensitive information from your phone. All within a few minutes.

Another version uploads an app that essentially does the same thing via your data signal hacked to anywhere in the world.

Rule one. Don't buy charging cables from unreliable sources like a booth at a flea market or convenience store. Typically, they are low quality that you should avoid, but it's an easy way the hacker cables make it into the marketplace.

Rule two. Don't borrow a charge cable at the airport or coffee shop, use only the cable and power supply supplied with the phone.

If you must charge on the go, use your own wireless charger or a 'Power Bank' portable battery charging system.

Fully 25 % estimates of all known species (metazoan), and 40% of their kin in the class Insecta. Sure, those colorful hard protective second retractable wings (elytra) may have played a part. And possessing the miracle of metamorphosis can't hurt. Those larval stages can bore through even the toughest tree barks. Protection then through the harsher seasons, and from most clever predators, only to emerge as adults in prolific reproductive/migratory life stages. But so what? Other orders of Insecta enjoy similar evolutionary adaptations. No, oh my brilliant CS friends, these Coleopteran marvels somehow have figured out much more in the struggle for life. Several threads of evidence now converge to show how, as with some ruminant mammals, these insects can digest all sorts of plant based very tough items, many based on the strongest cellulose polymers. But ready for the kickers here? Seems as though this huge survival trick was borrowed from bacteria, and "lower" plants, such as fungi. And accomplished, again somehow, by incorporating the DNA of these other life forms, into their own genomes. But more amazing, is that these little friends, again somehow, may have done so 100 large, VERY large, years before even the dinosaurs shuffled onto the scene. And they are still here, in strong numbers, VERY strong, some 60 million years after the dinosaurs sauntered OFF the scene. Sure, bacteria, using quasi " mating" techniques, can swap genetic material. One factor behind the growth of resistance to most commercial antibiotics. And deep shite for us all. But how the heck can the beetles have done so? Let's hear from the marginally educated ignoramuses here who will complain that a post like this, as with religion, and politics, so important to many, and definitely revealing in the great search for mates, is out of place. Pathetic. Revealing. Not unexpected. Pretty soon these mini minds will begin to call for a ban on flirting-on a dating site-of all places----can't make this stuff up folks.

I decided to combine these two concepts in one blog because in some way they are related. Money isn't the best thing about living (in case you haven't learned that yet). I've been on both sides of the equation and this is what I learned: money has a sweet spot. If you have too little, it's all you can think about while missing out on the things you love. If you have too much it's the same damn issue. It's all you can think about while missing out on the things you love. There's a sweet spot in the middle somewhere. It's a big sweet spot. But it isn't all that easy being outside of its borders on either of the sides in spite of what people who haven't been on both sides think.

Here's the bonus... As far as I'm concerned there would be no reason for living if it wasn't for women and dogs.

That's it. It's a short blog. But I think it pretty much says it all for me.

The glaciers are melting, but there are droughts everywhere.

What are we going to drink:
Salt water, which is very expensive to create drinking water out of...

If you consider that we need water to live:
Is money that important?

Any Ideas...?

We are in a New Technology world:
Just about everything is possible with communications across the world, being a millisecond away:

You are totally dependant on a bank card, and many more cards.
Money has just about landed in a museum...

To conform with everyone else we are getting more clever at technology by the second.
My mom refused to use these fancy things, but she did change her mind, as all have...

We all have different uses for our computers:
Work
Fun
Dating
Communications
you tell us more

Quite a lot of people don't use computers for work, and just personal use, which tends to then be a tablet / CellPh, as the rest is too bulky.

What do you expect in the future, what will happen to technology and the people attached to them?

Ya just have to notice things, then form hypotheses, and sometimes to experiment to test them, and thereby developed better theories. The scientific method, over rated, but still of merit. Now and again, usually when nature calls him, sorely delayed by my chasing the hotties here on CS, Bravo won't instantly devour one of the disgusting bone like treats I give him most mornings. Instead, he marches about the house, sneakily, Mr. R., looking for places to hide the treat. Mind you, hide from whom, as I'm the only other being here in the VIERK mansion, apart from the rare field mouse? Or reduvid bug. Why hide it from me, when the hiding places are never very cryptic, and I am the one who gave it to him? The main hypothesis is that what we see here is a minor retreat to former wild pack behaviors. Even though these may be thousands of generations old, and no longer of much value. If you get the first tasty bone from the kill, better make you and it scarce, especially if the big dog is nearby. But how to test this hypothesis? A theory, a theory, ..... my kingdom for a theory.

First the art of happiness author emails me (see other blog).
But right now movie star and major hottie Penelope Cruz
'likes' me on here.

She must be shy though, as she didn't send a message.
So.....next.

Of course, a famous person like that, can't let on, who she really is.
