general Court: Google Has Search Monopoly By www.infopackets.com Published On :: Fri, 16 Aug 2024 20:10:13 +0000 Google has acted unlawfully to maintain its monopoly in the search market, according to a US court ruling.

general Banking Scam Bypasses iOS, Android App Store Vetting By www.infopackets.com Published On :: Mon, 26 Aug 2024 17:13:07 +0000 A useful web feature could be a serious phishing risk according to security researchers.

general Do Phone 'Drying' Videos Really Work? By www.infopackets.com Published On :: Wed, 04 Sep 2024 17:55:35 +0000 YouTube videos that claim to fix a waterlogged phone really can work according to a semi-scientific test. But results are not guaranteed and it's not a reason to take excessive risks. Numerous videos (and some dedicated phone apps) all claim to fix a soggy phone in the same way. The theory is that the main risk is liquid getting into the phone through the speaker, which inherently can't be airtight - rather, quite the opposite. The videos "work" simply by playing a specific oscillating tone at a deep frequency that causes the speaker to push air at just the right force to dislodge the water. ... (view more) Full Article
