| Google’s New Nanotech Pill Will Help The Fight Against Cancer Posted: 06 Nov 2014 09:30 AM PST  Google is reportedly working on a pill that could potentially identify cancer, heart attacks and other illnesses, without resorting to painful and invasive surgery. The pill was announced last week at the Wall Street Journal’s WSJD Live conference in Southern California by Google X employee Andrew Conrad. It works by combining magnetic nanoparticles with an organic antibody or protein. These attach to malignant cells, and “phone” back to a wearable device. This wearable device would then analyze the spread of these nanoparticles and provide a diagnosis to the user, or the user’s medical professional. The argument is that this system would...

| 4 Ways To Avoid Being Hacked Like A Celebrity Posted: 06 Nov 2014 09:00 AM PST  Thankfully, the celebrity photo leaks of the past few months seem to have passed.

Hopefully you’ll never have to experience such an embarrassing event; if you follow these tips, you won’t. Watch What... Read the full article: 4 Ways To Avoid Being Hacked Like A Celebrity |
| 3 Tools To Monitor & Examine The Windows Registry Posted: 06 Nov 2014 08:00 AM PST  The Windows registry is one of the most poorly understood parts of the Windows operating system. Understanding it, and using appropriate tools to manage it, can make the difference in having a well-functioning computer. Whatever version of Windows you’re using, the registry remains a core piece of how software “plugs in” to the OS. For many years, it’s been the secret weapon for many IT technicians. It is a place where, if you know what you’re doing, you can increase performance of your PC. Of course, if you don’t know what you’re doing, you might not see any performance increase at all or you... Read the full article: 3 Tools To Monitor & Examine The Windows Registry |
| How You Can Officially Browse Facebook Over Tor Posted: 06 Nov 2014 07:30 AM PST  Facebook isn’t something you’d normally associate with anonymous browsing. But last week they launched a .onion address for Tor users to access the site. Users wishing to access Facebook over Tor can do so by visiting https://facebookcorewwwi.onion/ while connected to the Tor network. The Tor protocol both anonymizes network traffic and circumvents ISP and local level censorship. It does this by bouncing communications around a geographically distributed network of nodes, with a diverse range of endpoints where the traffic exits the Tor network and enters the standard Internet. Facebook has made assurances to users that visits over Tor will be safe,... Read the full article: How You Can Officially Browse Facebook Over Tor |

| May The Muse Win: How To Break The Destructive Habit Of Editing While Writing Posted: 06 Nov 2014 05:00 AM PST  Struggling to write? Your muse is not playing hard to get. She’s only trying to avoid coming face to face with that editor who lives inside your brain. Edit-as-you-write, while the default mode for many of us, is capable of doing more harm than good. It pairs the creative act of writing with the conservative act of editing — a destructive combination, because one needs a freeing of mental reins to thrive while the other insists on tightening them. Both writing and editing call for different approaches and input from different parts of your brain. That’s why it’s recommended that you separate these activities. Wear...
