| Let Feminist Frequency Teach You A Thing Or Two About Women In Video Games [Stuff to Watch] Posted: 01 Sep 2014 06:30 PM PDT  I’ve got some bad news: video games are traditionally pretty sexist. Shocking as it may be, a medium dominated by the masculine middle classes panders to patriarchal ideals – and it just so happens that video blogger Anita Sarkeesian has noticed.

The results aren’t exactly pretty. The most recent of these videos saw Sarkeesian call law enforcement following death threats made against her and her family – for...

By simply visiting Facebook, you potentially expose yourself to viruses and malware. Criminals can make you take some unintended action, steal your data, spy on you or “enslave” your PC for their own illegal ends such as launching DDOS attacks.

| 5 Tips To Help You Get Started Casting eSports Posted: 01 Sep 2014 10:00 AM PDT  Wouldn’t you love to earn a salary by playing and talking about games?

| Track Who’s Using Your Windows Computer When You’re Not Around Posted: 01 Sep 2014 09:00 AM PDT  Are you paranoid about your computer? If not, perhaps you should be. Most people who own a PC use it for countless personal tasks like banking, communicating with friends and managing personal contacts. And most people enable saved passwords in their browsers and applications because it’s more convenient. Anyone with access to your computer could snoop on every aspect of your life. The common response is to secure a computer with a password. But sometimes that’s not enough or, in the case of family PCs, not possible. Fortunately, there are several ways to see what’s happening on your PC when you... Read the full article: Track Who’s Using Your Windows Computer When You’re Not Around |

| Become Better By Stepping Away From Technology Posted: 01 Sep 2014 06:00 AM PDT  I went offline for a week. Don't leave!
