Catching Crimals through media...

I know we have all heard that police officers have fake social networking accounts trying to catch criminals but I found this article about how it was being done. This prosecutor from the Mid-west developed a fake profile to catch a big time drug dealer. The dealer was constantly changing cell phones and Sim cards, as well as other things, so he was hard to trace. But while communicating with the dealer the prosecutor got a response from him from an I-Phone app which she was able to trace to the purchaser and get the number. Wow! I thought it was crazy how they could find out all that from social networking! Criminals beware technology is not secure by no means!

Internet Explorer 9

The latest and greatest from Microsoft is now IE9. I learned a lot about it this week. Internet Explorer 9 has a lot of upgrades. It has improved on the overall security and user experience. It uses the new HTML5 Web development markup language which has new audio and video enhancements. It of course still has some downfalls with vendors trying to upgrade their systems to the new browser but as time goes on the kinks will be worked out. I haven't downloaded it yet I like to wait for most of the kinks to be worked out before I do. Overall though it seems like Microsoft is still one of the top competitors of browsers! Microsoft's Website gives you lots of details and support for any installation problems so check out the link if your interested. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2409098
