Linked – Google’s New Trips App Helps Simplify Travel-Planning

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Google Trips allows you to sync your Gmail account, which will populate the app with all of your upcoming and past adventures — all flight, hotel and car rental information is available in one place for each trip. Before heading out on your journey, download the city you’re going to so you can access all of its features offline.

This seems promising. Definitely going to try this on one of my upcoming trips, letting it sync up as I get my confirmation emails. If you beat me to it, come back and let me know how it worked out for you.

Interestingly, the beta of Firefox 4 actually has the feature built in, which is maybe the wave of the…

Linked: You know how to identify phishing emails – a cybersecurity researcher explains how to trust your instincts to foil the attacks

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

And so, I wonder if those yearly, semi-annual, quarterly, video training would be a lot more effective if we also shared specific examples of people who got phished, and how they fell for it?

Like most things in life, it’s one thing to hypothetically know that something could happen, but it’s quite another to know that it did happen to someone we know. Someone just like us. That makes it so much more real in our minds, and it appears to make a huge difference in how users might approach phishing attempts.
