eGreetings!
My mouth hit the floor when I read the thread title: What are the Drawbacks to Being a Geek? earlier on Geeks. A drawback to being a geek - what?! Are you kidding me? Being a geek is the best possible thing to be. We have it all — brains, looks, girls… what more could [...]

I had to chuckle a little while ago when someone in our live chat room stated that Google’s new operating system will be 100% invulnerable to malware attacks. That’s an awful hefty claim for Google to make, if it in fact did. The truth is that nothing is impossible in this day and age of [...]
