Windows Naming Conventions

I think it’s funny how Windows randomly names their Operating Systems.

They started off all normal…
Windows 3.1
Windows 3.2
Windows 95 (uh, ok)
Windows 2000 (I see what we’re doing now)
Windows XP (Wait, what?)
Windows Vista (What’s going on here?)
Windows 7

Granted, Windows 7 is still in Beta and might get a snazzy new name. It’s just funny to me that it’s just going by 7 right now.

My Poem

I thought I saw a friend today
who had recently passed away.
I squinted to see him on this bright summer day
And when I looked at him
I thought he looked my way.
But he was not there, my eyes tricked by the sun
And I was relieved, for I thought the zombie apocalypse had just begun.

Sprint Blackberry Site is Not Secure!

If you are one of the many people who have picked up the iPhone competitor Blackberry Storm, do NOT set up your Blackberry settings through Sprint’s website: http://sprint.blackberry.com/

It is not a secure site (as of this posting) as you can see there is no padlock. When you enter your information, it is open to be used by anybody listening to internet transactions. In other words, when you submit your password, it’s not secure.

Instead, use this SECURE site:
https://bis.na.blackberry.com/html?brand=sprint

Why Sprint would put up an unsecured site is beyond me. However, a friend of mine with his shiny new Blackberry has already had his Gmail account hacked.

Thanks Sprint.
