6. “The Internet Mafia” – a 6 full-page writeup on the latest trend on how hackers control your computer to crack/spam/phish/DDoS more computers; and some tips to counter the attacks.
7. “Getting the Most Out of Your iPod” – an article on how you can tweak your iPods.
8. “Going Incognito on the Internet” – author writes about how we are leaving trails on the internet, and some tips on maintaining annonymity. there’s no guarantee of 100% anonymity though.
9. Alcohol120% – a CD/DVD emulator software that allows one to work on software (that needs the disc in the drive) w/o the disc in the drive; comes at a cost though (url: http://www.alcohol-soft.com) :O
