To Papa:

I know you probably don't see this up there. But I want to say hi and I love you. And if you do see this, I hope it makes you happy. Say hi to Grammy for me and tell her I love her too. Mr. Durfee is up there now. I know you never knew him but if you meet him you'll wanna be his friend.

Love, Katie

TJX Hacker Gets 20 Years in Prison

     Albert Gonzalez was sent to prison for 20 years for leading a gang of cyber-thieves into stealing over 90,000,000 (ninety million) credit and debit card numbers from TJX and other places. He also has to pay $25,000 (twenty-five thousand dollars). This scares me because I don't want people to steal my money. It's a good thing I don't have a credit or debit card. I'm glad they're sending this man to jail. He deserves it.

FBI Can't Crack Android Pattern-Screen Lock

     We all know that the pattern-screen lock is secure. But this article tells us just how secure.

     The FBI claims that forensics experts tried multiple times to unlock a Samsung Exhibit II handset, but failed. Dan Rosenberg, a consultant at a Boston-based Virtual Security Research, said that you could extract the data from the phone by taking it apart. But when you do this, there is a risk of damaging the phone's insides. I think that this is safe but also unsafe. I think I will get this phone.

How Tweet it is!

This article tells us that every tweet you create becomes housed in the Library of Congress as soon as you hit that send button. It has been like this since March of 2006. This teaches us to be careful with what you put online.
