US-CERT Cyber Security Tip ST05-002 -- Keeping Children Safe Online

Keeping Children Safe Online:

"When a child is using your computer, normal safeguards and security practices may not be sufficient. Children present additional challenges because of their natural characteristics: innocence, curiosity, desire for independence, and fear of punishment. You need to consider these characteristics when determining how to protect your data and the child."

Into The iPod and Back Again

My wife's iPod (aka my old 15 GB 3G iPod) had a hard drive failure shortly after the one year warranty expired. I bought a new hard drive, thinking it would be a cinch to replace. Wrong. Getting into an iPod is rather hard. Some Googling turned up a method using guitar picks and it worked! Installing the new 15 GB hard drive was easy. The only problem now is that our music collection has grown beyond 15 GB (99 cents at a time)!
