So here is a tool that you can use to check any sites you normally go to. I have many online bank accounts and a credit union account. It is scary to see how bad they are graded. :eek

I just tried Covered California, coveredca.com, the state health plan website. Even though it is not vulnerable to this one specific issue, it got an overall "F". :eek

Newer phones I heard you should be OK. It's the older software versions that are open to be attacked from what I have heard. I know I'm good and my S4 is not quite a year old. :good

I don't think you can even get a Not-So-Smart phone any more can you?? :stupid

I'm thinking of trading my S4 in for the new LG Curve.

A few months ago I was up for an upgrade at a discount so I got the new Droid Maxx, pretty cool phone and easy to use and the best part is the battery life, under normal use not pushing it lasts for 4 days. :good

Actually I'm looking at the LG Flex. Seems to have Ã‚Â some killer batter life, 32gig storage, sounds like it has a way better screen. I like the curve design of it as well. Ã‚Â We will see if I jump and go for it. some where in the range of 600 bones for it. Down fall is that there is no provision to be able to put a memory card in it.

I looked at that one didn't really care for it that much, especially the price :eek

Mine was only $150 with my discount so that wasn't bad, can't put an SD card in mine either, but I don't keep much on it anyhow just stuff I can use anything else I just move it to my puter. Only downside on mine is the fact you can't replace the battery yourself it's sealed.

I have some music that keeps me entertained on the train ride to and from work. I also have a few pictures. I should get them off the phone and on to the laptop where they need to be. Even though the pictures are on the memory card.

I need to get an external drive as well and back up everything including the laptop. I just know something is going to take a dump on it's own.
