| How to Manage Your Third-Party Facebook Logins [Weekly Facebook Tips] Posted: 13 Jan 2015 02:30 PM PST  How many times have you allowed a third-party site to have access to your Facebook account? Do you even remember what you’ve allowed each of these sites to do? Probably not. Here’s how you can manage your settings. Why Do We Do It? I don’t know about you, but I hate creating new accounts all the time, especially for smaller sites I don’t really trust.

| Security Failings Highlight Importance Of Voting With Your Wallet Posted: 13 Jan 2015 10:00 AM PST  Online greetings card store Moonpig exposed customer data to hackers for at least 15 months, despite warnings from an expert that there was a hole that needed to be plugged. There are multiple lessons here. The first: corporate arrogance is dangerous. Second: it’s important for customers to educate themselves, and make sure companies are working to keep them secure. And the third: a “known name” isn’t necessarily a safe one. Moonpig is an online greetings card store that sells custom-designed cards and mugs through their website. Hugely popular (thanks to regular TV advertising), Moonpig shipped 6 million cards in in the... Read the full article: Security Failings Highlight Importance Of Voting With Your Wallet  |
| 8 Self-Publishing Secrets For Designing An eBook Cover Posted: 13 Jan 2015 09:00 AM PST  A good ebook cover is a visual, strategic and emotional glance into the contents of your writing. But if you decide to design your own ebook cover, there are some important things you need to take into consideration. This isn’t just a topic of vanity and of having a “professional looking cover”, though. It’s a truly important part of your self-publishing journey. A micro-second glance at your cover may be the only opportunity you have to persuade a potential reader to find out more. Moreover, there’s no arguing with the fact that books are judged by their covers. A shoddy cover suggests shoddy content,...

| Linux vs. BSD: Which Should You Use? Posted: 13 Jan 2015 06:00 AM PST  At MakeUseOf, we cover Linux quite a bit as the “alternative” to Windows and Mac OS X.

What’s different about BSD operating systems, and should you be running it instead of Linux? How does Linux and the best BSD desktop OS,...

It’s time to stop smoking/quit drinking/stay off junk food. You make the right adjustments to your bad habits and start new good ones. And then, without warning, you fall back into old ways. Breathe. You can recover from a relapse. The late G. Alan Marlatt, one of the leading relapse prevention experts, told Time Magazine that falling off the wagon isn’t inherently bad; in fact, it’s almost inevitable in someone who is trying to change problematic behaviour.
