    They’ve both been into her yahoo email accounts. Apparently hackers broke into Sarah Palin’s Yahoo mail accounts using the password reset feature of Yahoo mail and posted screen shots of her email on the Wikileaks whistle-blowing site.

    According to a story published on the BBC website, she had two Yahoo email accounts.

    I don’t know about you, but all I use my old Yahoo account for is trapping spam sites that make me give an address to download something. Yahoo hasn’t had my business since they sold out their customer base for some quick cash back when the dot com bubble burst and ad revenue went in the toilet.

    Apparently there are some issues to consider since Palin is under investigation for her activities while governing the fine state of Alaska. Somewhere during all of this hacking business her accounts were deleted. I don’t know about you, but that is pretty convenient timing. Oh, I’m not saying she planned it. I’m just saying it sure is convenient.

     
  • MacBook Links and BlogCatalog Conference Calls

    Join US on the BlogCatalog TalkShoe Conference CallJill and I have been pretty busy with other things, but I wanted to stop in an update you on some of the things that have been going on. Firstly, I have taken a step back from looking at the MacBooks. I still want one, but I am trying to be a good steward of my resources so I am taking my time. However, as I continue my research I have found some interesting resources. Here they are in case you are following along with me.

    Here is a fun video showing parallels Desktop 3.0 running Windows XP on the Mac

    Here is an interesting site on Apple Defects and how they are being addressed. The information seems level headed and informative.

    Here is a look at how to disassemble a MacBook. It is interesting and gives a good idea of what it would take to do home repairs if push came to shove.

    Here is a place to get 2GB memory upgrade kits for the MacBook. I am interested in the White MacBook but it only comes with 1GB and I would like to have 2GB without paying more than I have to for someone else to install it, so this is a good find for me. Do note that I haven’t actually bought from these guys so check em out before you hand over your money.
