Endless technology ramblings

Today I downloaded and installed Xilisoft Video Converter. It seems to be a pretty promising tool as it can convert almost any video/audio format to another video/audio format. This becomes very helpful when converting those old VHS tapes to DVD’s or trying to get your favorite format to your iPod or iPhone.

Better hurry – This download won’t last long as they have you activate it during the offer. Keep in mind that applications on givawayoftheday.com typically aren’t supported (because they’re free).

I recently stumbled upon a site which helps you categorize and sort credit card offers more efficiently. CreditCardClub.com provides credit card reviews to the public for free.

Lifelock is a company that protects you against theft. Experian is accusing LifeLock of fraud and false advertising. Experian is a company in business to sell and distribute people’s personal information. Experian is simply upset because LifeLock is protecting their credit by offering them a one-million dollar guarantee to cover any persons incidental costs associated with identity thefts. Remember that Experian reported over three billion dollars in profits.

This lawsuit has been brought on by Experian because they are upset. LifeLock can be keeping persons data from being shared with Experian. LifeLock doesn’t simply give you an alert, they search the web, they search chat rooms and more for persons attempting to disclose your personal information. For just ten(10) bucks a month this seems like a good idea. They’ll even hire you a lawyer if you have issues with identity theft. LifeLock is simply a very affordable insurance policy for your identity. In a world of technology and instant content delivery who would want to be without identity theft protection? I know I wouldn’t.
