Ira Riklis Talking Security and Technology

My Smart Phone By Bill Wobmly

I really like the idea that everybody I know thinks Bill Wobmly is smart. I have to tell you, it’s a recent
development.

I never really had a brain for details. Give me a fact or quote a statistic and I immediately accept is as trivia and toss it out. Sometimes it would be embarrassing. I guess 5 years ago Mike Wobmly was considered a dim bulb.

That all changed when I got my smart phone. Now I can talk about anything. If you need to know the final score of Superbowl XVI I can find the answer online through my phone in seconds. Wondering who to vote for in the next election? Ask away! No matter where I am I can find out the candidates
position on the hot topics.

I like the power that comes with people thinking that I am intelligent guy. All I have to do is pull my smart phone out of my pocket and I can be the authority no matter what kind of conversation I’m involved. And, even when a group of us get together just to have fun, I can always be relied on to come up with something funny. The apps help make me the life of the party.

I use my phone to figure out how much to tip a bad waitress as well as reminding me of those birthdays that have to be acknowledged so I don’t end up in the dog house. Nobody has to know that the smartest thing that I have really done lately is learn how to use my smart phone.

Verizon, the country’s largest wireless carrier is rolling out a new data plan for new customers and existing customers who will be upgrading to a Smartphone. The prices for the data plan comes in three tiers, 2GB for $30 per month, 5GB for $50 per month, and 10GB for $80 per month. A $10 per GB over you data plan will be charge in addition to your set limit.

“For the average person, this can be a bit confusing on which data plan you need” says Ira Riklis. Most people do not understand how much a megabyte worth of data on a cellular network it. According to Verizon over 95% of their customers never exceed the 2GB limit for one month and this plan will be sufficient for most of their customers. For users who spend a lot of time on their phone, checking email, web browsing, streaming moderate amounts of music and videos, the 5GB is the preferred plan. Then for the power Smartphone user who will be streaming heavy loads of videos and music, uploading photos and surfing the Web, the 10GB package will be the one for them. The 10GB package is also recommended for mobile Netflix and video conferencing users, which require an enormous amount of data to stream for these capabilities. It is also recommended when you choose your data package, that when you have the option to connect to local Wi-Fi, to do so, as this does not count against your data plan.

“Verizon’s new data plan are comparable to other wireless carriers” says Ira Riklis. AT&T’s data plan is $25 per month for 2GB, T-Mobile includes in their talk plan, 2GB of data, and then for extra $20 you can receive unlimited data. The only other major carrier to offer unlimited data, with no limits, is the Sprint network and they have no plans to change this. They view this as a way to keep or attract customers who do not want to worry about the limits set on data plans. Overall any of the carriers have a similar price range for all their data plans, but Verizon’s network coverage and speed still provides an edge of the competitors and is still recommended if you want these capabilities. They also have a tiered data plan system, which they other competitors do not have, so you have to freedom to choose the package that you want instead of being stuck with the 2GB standard.

Droid Phones are amazing phones but they are so much more than amazing and unique phones. According to Ira Riklis, here are 5 top Apps for your droid phone. Some of these you may not know abut. One app for your droid phone is the WorldTour. This app automatically changes your home screen wallpaper every 30 minutes to an “image from a live webcam.”

It gives a list of many webcams from all parts of the world and then ensures that your home screen always has a nice image from the webcam.

Then there is KeepScreen. KeepScreen allows you to keep your screen always on when particular apps are running. Next, there is c:geo. C:geo is a great Geocaching app and works independently of the browser and is able to look up, locate and then log what you have found. There is an extra feature of a live map, can search for addresses, and has a compass and driving direction feature.

Next, there is the 3banana. 3banana is full-featured and it works well because it syncs all your notes to Snaptic.com, supports tagging by hashtag, allows you to insert pictures into notes and lets you create QR codes from your notes to share with others. Next, is the Toddler Lock. This is a great app, especially if you have children. It locks the phone so all of the buttons do nothing and allows children or adults to draw on the screen using shapes filled with color and noises that are fun for everyone. With Gmail Unread Count you can create a small, icon-sized widget on your home screen and not have to use the Gmail shortcut.

There are many tablets on the market today besides the famous Apple Ipad. A lot of cell phone providers are starting to carry their very own versions of the Ipad except they have different names from it.
Lets first talk about the Apple Ipad. They have two Ipads out now. Ipad and Ipad 2. Before you could even get comfortable with the Ipad, Apple launched a second one. This one is suppose to be an upgrade from the first one. There are already many many built in apps that come with the Ipad 2 when you first buy it. Some other features of this new technology include: two cameras for face-time and HD video recording,a dual core a-5 chip, 10 hour battery life, and of course its thinner and lighter.
Apple has an original tablet called the Modbook that starts at $899. Some advantages over the Ipad include many such as multitasking, flash support, built in optical drive, built in camera, 120GB hard drive, and windows compatibility. There are only a few disadvantages compared to the Ipad and those include no 3g modem, no mutitouch, or no access to the app store. Other than that this is well worth your money. The Ipad may be abit overrated, when you read some of the other available tablets that have better advantages to the Ipad. This is a smart choice for those of you who want to go simple but yet elegant.
Archos 9 pc is a tablet that is available at the MID market. Prices only starting at $549, relatively cheap compared to these other tablets. This tablet comes with windows 7, flash support, multitasking, two USB slots, a web cam, a kick stand, and a SD card slot. Those are big advantages over the Ipad. I recommend this one because there are a lot of bigger features at a cheaper price. The only disadvantages I can think of with this tablet are no access to the app store, and no multitouch. Other than that, this tablet is ready to go.
These are just only a couple of the many tablets that are available on the market today. Think twice before running to get an Apple Ipad 2. I’m not saying that there is anything wrong with the Ipad, but there are many other competitons available, some with better features.

Motorola is trying to stay in the game by still throwing out new phones. I thought Motorola pretty much fell off until they came out with the Droid phones. Verizon is just one company that offers these new Droid phones.
The Droid x 2 has been out for some time now but to me is still considered fairly new. It went through some drastic changes. It looks now different on the outside, but the inside of this phone is a whole different story. It is a pretty neat phone. The processor inside the phone went from being 1Ghz CPU to a now 1.2 Ghz dual core. That is a pretty big difference. The RAM in the phone went from 512mb to 768mb. Even the screen resolution changed and it went from 854×480 to being 960×540.
Not only do I believe that Motorola is stepping up, but Verizon is stepping up as well. Nowadays, everybody wants some kind of android phone. Any android phone is defintely what is hot right now. They haven’t even gave the first Droid x some time before not long after that they launched the second one. Both are going to be headed for their one year anniversaries this summer.
Overall this phone is prettty unique. One thing I do think that they could have made different was making the outside of the phone a tad bit different from the first one. People not only like to know what they got, but they also want to see what they got.

What the Ipad can do for you

There is a lot of things that a lot of different technology can do today to make your life easier says Ira Riklis! One of those great technologies is the Ipad. Within this article you’ll get some information that can really sum up what the Ipad can do for you! Some of the things that the Ipad can do for you are making it easier for you to multi-task, as well as being very portable.

As I mentioned in the first part of this article, one of the main and most productive things you can do with the Ipad is the ability to multi-task. Multi-tasking is very convenient especially if you like to do a lot of various things! Whether it be writing up that business report while listening to music, or perhaps. Playing a game while surfing through the App store. If you’re on an Ipad you can multi-task quite easily and being that it’s light-weight it makes portability very easy.

The other ideal thing worth mentioning is it’s extreme portability. If you are a person that’s on the go a lot and getting frustrated with setting up a big bulky laptop, then the Ipad is the way to go. It’s a lot easier to carry around and a lot easier to maneuver with in just about any place. Whether you’re on a train, or even a plane!

So of course, if you’re all about the convenience when it comes to the way you live, you just won’t be able to live without the Ipad!

Alot of the hype surrounding the Conflicker virus has died down, but it is still out there spreading. Just last week, it was reported by Symantec’s threat intelligence team that an estimated 50,000 PCs a day are attacked.

What is the Conficker virus/worm? Ira Riklis has turned to the experts to answer that question.

The Conficker virus/worm is still infecting systems and continues to affect computers in Fortune 1000 companies, according to security researchers.

The Conflicker virus/worm began spreading late last year, taking advantage of a recently patched flaw in Microsoft’s Windows operating system to infect networks and using removable storage devices to transmit from PC to PC. Security experts say it has now infected millions of computers around the world.

The worm got the attention of the media in late March of this year, and while the news stories have tapered off, the worm isn’t going anywhere.

Some worried that April 1st would signal a change in the way the Conficker virus/worm received updates and could mark the beginning of a new round of attacks, but in reality the Conficker network has been used lightly.

Unsure if your computer is being compromised by the Conficker virus/work?

Ira Riklis and many other experts say the easiest way to find out if you have the Conficker worm on your computer is to go online and try to log on to the Microsoft Web site. If your computer can go to that Web site, it’s likely fine. If it can’t, chances are it’s infected with the Conficker worm.

It is also a good idea to run a full scan of your computer using anti-virus or anti-spyware software. If your scan turns up a Conficker file, don’t panic. There are plenty of free removal programs available online.

Flash Player is a cross-platform browser plug-in that delivers breakthrough web experiences to over 99% of Internet users. If you are using any version of the popular Flash Player, other than the latest, you should update as soon as possible.

Symantec, one of the world’s largest security, storage and systems management solution company,  said Flash had a new bug that was being exploited. Adobe has commented on the findings, saying:

“Despite various reports that have been circulating, the Flash Player Standalone 9.0.124.0 and Linux Player 9.0.124.0 are NOT vulnerable to the exploits discussed in conjunction with the previously disclosed vulnerability Symantec posted on 5/27/08. Symantec originally believed this to be a zero-day, unpatched vulnerability, but as their latest update on their Threatcon page indicates, they have now confirmed this issue does not affect any versions of Flash Player 9.0.124.0.”

If you are unsure of which version of Flash Player you are using, Ira Riklis recommends you test it via the Adobe Flash tester page. You should check every browser installed on your computer.

To install or upgrade your Flash player, use these steps:

1. Uninstall all previous versions
2. Download Adobe Flash Player
3. Troubleshoot Adobe Flash Player for Internet Explorer

Ira Riklis believes if you follow these three steps, you can install/upgrade your Flash Player quickly and easily.
