| | The Kensington Folio Trio Mobile Workstation for new iPad and iPad 2 is rather a large title for what is actually just a case. Mind you, it's also rather a large case. This thing is absolutely huge. No, seriously, it's actually bigger in all dimensions than my laptop. This thing … |
| | ## interesting answer to your interesting question: what is that information which we can find you are trying to ask us? ## Seriously, I think you need to sit down, take another look at that, and then post again with a question that makes enough sense for people to be …  |
| | While I can't imagine for a moment that Google is in danger of going out of business, with the searching masses marching elsewhere in dismay at various perceived privacy infringing issues. However, if you look at the media attention regarding just that, the privacy issue, then Google is going to … |

| | I am getting rather fed up of seeing posts in the feeds of my Facebook Friends, including many who really should know better, advertising a supposed £175 value Tesco supermarket voucher giveaway.

 | Re: Related Article I actually like the 'in your face' aspect of the related article positioning. It ensures that I see it and take notice, and often click to take a look. Not being advertising per se (well, kind of, I guess) it sits OK with me. Certainly it has created some new … |
| | Stop missing us, and start embracing us again :)  |
| | New members can only send replies to PMs, rather than create new ones, until they have made 10 contributions to the forums. This was implemented to stop the flurry of scammers/spammers who were using our PM system. As you now have the requisite 10 posts you should be able to … |

| | Everyone loves PHP these days it seems, and that includes the bad guys. So it should come as no surprise to learn that yet another remote access Trojan written using PHP has appeared. However, the fact that this particular bit of PHP backdoor code comes complete with a second, hidden, … |

 | There is no FAQ regarding the user rankings, it's meant to be kind of a surprise when you get upgraded to the next level :) That said, I'm sure someone has probably worked out a rough guide as to how many posts get you what attribution and will be along … |
| | It's now official, account passwords for the popular business social network LinkedIn have been compromised. Vicente Silveira, a director at LinkedIn, has confirmed that some of the passwords that were published online by a Russian hacking group "correspond to LinkedIn accounts".

 | Re: Ancient threads It does seem to be caused where spammers have commented to a long dead thread and that spam posting has then been deleted by the mods. I will leave it to Dani or deceptikon to explain whether it is possible/feasible/likely to make any changes to how this works. |

| | Re: Helloooo Don't encourage him. He's **not** new here. This **isn't** his first post. He **is** however a spammer who has stopped breaking the rules and started bending them, creating multiple accounts (from the same IP) which post one or two times - always with an advert link in his sig. |
| | Google might be the biggest search resource on the Internet bar none, but it's far from perfect. In some areas it's actually worse than that, and simply fails to work at all. Now students at the University of Glasgow in Scotland are attempting to fill one of these search gaps … |
