Back in July of 2011, a woman in Oklahoma City came home and found two men in her house.  They held her at gunpoint for an hour while they tore the place apart, stole some stuff, then left.  And the police never caught them. Now, three years later, there's finally a lead thanks to Google Maps.

Most of us - myself included - have grown to be very reliant on our smart phones. So, it should come as no surprise that when I damaged my iPhone recently, I had a feeling of helplessness similar to being bedridden with the flu.

We all worry about finding secure passwords for all of our online uses. If you are like me you have at least 10 passwords for different things.
