20 Licenses for CollageIt Pro [Giveaway]

Posted by Rich On May - 18 - 20131 COMMENT

Edit: We’re out of Windows licenses but have a couple of Mac keys left

We recently reviewed CollageIt on Windows Guides; PearlMountain technology have been kind enough to provide 20 license keys (12 Windows; 8 Mac.)

I’ll reply to the first 20 emails to collageitpro@mintywhite.com with a key and then remove this post so hopefully, if you see this post on mintywhite.com (link), you will get a key.

Please specify which key type you would like (Windows/Mac)

Do You Read Software License Agreements?

Posted by Rich On April - 4 - 20131 COMMENT

I have a deal for you.
In exchange for a free piece of software that helps you keep track of your passwords and other log on information, I’m going to install other programs on your PC that will track your web surfing and display advertising that pops-up on your screen. There will also be other types of ads on your computer based on information we collect.

Does that sound like a good deal to you? Well, if you’re one of the many Windows users who have installed eWallet software from Gain Publishing that’s exactly what you agreed to do. But you already know that because you read the End User License Agreement
or “EULA” that was available prior to installing the program. You did read it right? Of course you did; before you could install the software you had to check a box certifying that you read the agreement. Legally speaking, that’s the same thing as signing a contract with pen and ink.

132 What is HTTPS? How Secure is it today? How can its Security be Improved?This is a guest post written by David Ritchie.

As the World Wide Web takes on more and more enormous importance in our modern life, the security issues become of the most immediate interest now. The risk of personal information pilfering is constantly increasing. In this regard, such terms as antiviruses and brandmauers are no more strange being widely used. Most people realize that private data such as personal correspondence, account details, passport and phone numbers should be transmitted via secured connection to eliminate or, at least, reduce the loss of valuable information. This article is concerned with HTTPS constituting one of the most popular protocols for ensuring data transmission security.
