The life of a Hollywood star isn't all red carpets and luxury hotels.
Not if you're Sean Penn, who woke at sunrise yesterday in a tiny tent on a mosquito-infested hillside overlooking the city of Port-au-Prince, rolled up the sleeves of a filthy shirt, holstered his Glock pistol, and set about trying to make life better for some of the two million
Google and Apple aren't exactly Microsoft and Apple, but it's getting that way.
These days, Google and Apple are looking like more and more like rivals, mostly because the two are grasping for the same market share in the break-out handset market. However, Google's own Eric Schmidt confessed that he sees things differently...
Too often, I encounter thoughtless Christians who, frankly, know little or nothing about what they believe and why they believe it and, worse, have little interest in changing their condition.

BP may not know where oil from the Gulf gusher will go next, but Intel does.
The Xeon-powered Encanto supercomputer, located at Intel's Rio Rancho campus, is one of the fastest supercomputers in the world. And all of its 3,500 quad-core processors are devoted to tracking the potential paths of the BP disaster.
BP could cap the gushing oil well in the Gulf of Mexico weeks earlier than expected, BP Gulf spill chief Bob Dudley tells The Wall Street Journal, calling a kill-date of July 20-27 "possible in a perfect world," while pointing out that hurricane season is the wild card.
What's really going on in the Gulf?

Asked if the U.S. could ever assemble a group of European countries to neutralize Iran, John Bolton said, no, arguing that France, Germany, Italy, and Britain don't have the stomach for the very strong steps that are the only way to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons.

The grid is wondrous.
And yet�in part because we've paid so little attention to it, engineers tell us�it's not the grid we need for the 21st century. It's too old. It's reliable but not reliable enough, especially in the United States, especially for our mushrooming population of finicky digital devices.

Take, for example, those pesky dead bodies one has to deal with, after all the funeral weeping is over.
If sincere respect for the dead doesn't concern you, undertakers could dissolve corpses in chemicals then flush the remains into the sewage system under plans being studied by European bureaucrats.

It will come in handy if you are running a blog or a personal webpage and logging into them from an unsecured public access WiFi Hotspot (such as coffee shops, airports etc).</p>
<p>Transmission of your login information over an unsecured connection can be intercepted and hacked. Internet security is a topic of interest for <a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-keep-your-credit-cards-safe-when-shopping-online/">MUO authors</a> and <a href="http://www.makeuseof.com/answers/surf-internet-secure-ssl-connection/">our readers</a> alike.</p>
<p>SSL certificates encrypt the login data before transmitting them to your ISP/server making it harder for eavesdroppers to break in. That’s exactly why banks, financial institutions, ecommerce sites etc. use SSL for securing login information, user identity information and credit card data.</p>
<p><span></span><br />
SSL certificates cost a lot if bought from providers like Verisign, GoDaddy etc. For those us who don’t run mission critical portals, that is not an option. Let us see how to get free SSL certificates from <a href="http://www.startssl.com">StartSSL</a>.</p>
<h2>Obtaining The Free SSL Certificate</h2>
<p>A simple signup form kickstarts the process of getting the free SSL certificate. All the details, including home/company address to phone number are mandatory requirements.
