		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a lot of gobbledy-gook on the Internet. There are new add-ons and plug-ins and toolbars being foisted on you by Web sites here and pop-up windows there. To top it off, you&#8217;re always told to be extra cautious about everything you click on, open, download, install or hover your mouse over. (When I write [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On October 13, OpenOffice.org, the beloved (and seductively free) office productivity suite, released its milestone version 3.0. The document-making, spreadsheet-calculating, presentation-presenting free open-source project boasts a few new features, a new startup routine, and a few bells and whistles to show off. Also, big news for Mac users: It natively supports Mac OS X now. [...]]]></description>

Say, for instance, you pointed your mouse to a link for a news article that caught your eye, but when you clicked the link, you landed on a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The hacked Yahoo account of Republican vice presidential candidate Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin topped tech news for a week and I&#8217;m certain we&#8217;ve not heard the last of it. The story has stirred talk of online security, lurking knots of curious crackers (&#8220;criminal hackers&#8221; — not all hackers fit that description, you know) and the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I remember when Google was simply a search engine. For me, it quickly filled a need I hardly realized I had. At the time, I frequently found myself torn between multiple search engines such as Yahoo, Dogpile, and Ask Jeeves (before Ask.com gave Jeeves the boot). Then there was Google, with its simplistic front page [...]]]></description>

Your spouse gave you a dirty look when you said you weren&#8217;t quite sure when you&#8217;d be home. One of your kids gave you the stink eye. For one reason or another, there&#8217;s something you&#8217;ve got to get done, and everything you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You shouldn&#8217;t be too closed-minded in the tech world. I try to keep an open mind when new versions of my favorite operating systems are released. Once upon a time, I had been excited about Windows Vista when it was still in beta testing. Near Vista&#8217;s release date, I installed a &#8220;release candidate&#8221; (one of [...]]]></description>

Aside from &#8220;Update Tuesday,&#8221; the second Tuesday of every month when Microsoft releases important security-related updates, other patches and bug fixes trickle down throughout the month as well.

Just because you&#8217;ve got your computer locked down and bulletproof, don&#8217;t underestimate the subtle attacker who politely rings the doorbell and waits for you to open the door yourself.
