Nest Security

Looks like Nest is upgrading it's feature abilities to offer now a security system that requires no passkey. Pretty smart but very expensive. I am almost certain anyone can purchase a similar Nest home security product for a quarter the value of what this one is worth. I just can't see myself paying so much for just two sensors, a keypad and passkeys. You decide?

Spy on Kids

In this day in age it's hard to see what children go through in their every day lives. As a parent you need to be aware of what your children are doing daily and be there for them just in case. I am not for spying on kids, but if you just want to be cautious then that's a method that can be used.
Just remember to put yourself in there shoes when it comes to judgement day and remember on how you got the information in the first place.

Antivirus Flaw

Looks like a recent flaw was discovered by Antivirus software makers and hopefully by the time you read this everything would have been patched. But it's just another indication that not all programs are full proof and it is good practice to use different products when protecting your computer. Ex. installing Malwarebytes for malware and McAfee for antivirus software. The theory is that either one or the other software will eventually stop the attack should an computer infection take place. It's better to be safe than sorry. Now let's hope that they two software don't create software compatibility problems for you.

Yammer in Business

Why would anyone want to use Yammer in business? Great question and here is the answer. If you have Office 365 and have Yammer installed, users can get into direct contact with others users in the organization by using Yammer. This eliminates constantly emailing the individual and gives you access to user's on the fly. Its similar to your regular online posting boards, but this is just for company employee's who are on the Office 365 domain. Groups can also be made in Yammer, like Human Resources, Sales, Quality Control, Training etc. It's a great place to share internal information.
Another group that can be made is a Yammer 101 group that has technical information for user's who need the information.
