The Glass Rectangle

I do this myself, upgrade to something new when there was nothing wrong with what I already had.  I see lots of people do the same thing. They make a tiny change or make it look a little different and we flock to it. Seems crazy after reading this, but I'm sure we won't stop anytime soon.

The 25 most popular passwords....idiots

http://games.yahoo.com/blogs/plugged-in/25-most-popular-passwords-2012-164015152.html

I have known plenty of people who use passwords like these. I had nosey siblings growing up so I got in the habit of making mine pretty hard to guess, but easy for me to remember. That was a long time ago and we only used maybe 3 things that required a password though. Now days, I keep a notebook full of my sites, login ins, passwords, and which email address I use. I also change my passwords a couple of times a year. I have known people like my mother or boyfriend, who freely give out their login and password information to share things like netflix with people. My boyfriend is particularly dumb when it comes to passwords, he has a sticky note app on his phone that he keeps a list of all his log in information for everything from games to banking...he doesn't even keep a lock on his phone. He has a bad habit of leaving his phone laying around or handing it to me then forgetting. I figure if I go in and mess with his stuff or change his passwords on him enough he'll learn to keep his info a little more secure. I don't like blogging at all.

Apple isn't everything

http://shopping.yahoo.com/news/6-alternatives-to-apple-s-tech-toys.html

I know a lot of people love Apple products, not me. A few weeks ago I went to get a new phone, upgrading from the Droid X2. My best options were either an iPhone5 or the Galaxy S3. I did some research and decided on the Galaxy. It has a larger screen, better resolution, same camera pixels, and better battery life. The apple apps store may have more than googles play store, but that's not really a big deal. Plus Apple maps was a total flop and I use my google maps alot. In my opinion Apple doesn't compare. There are so many products that beat out Apple. The link I provided shows a few. I don't like blogging at all.
