We got "socialspammed" by this app over the weekend. I'm not sure if it was this app or some other app(s) or ??? but we cleaned 8 trojans, 3 registry errors and way too much adware for anyone's good from our computer on Saturday. I have deleted all access to Socialcam & Viddy from our Facebook accounts and warned everyone (via a link to your and another post) about not using these apps.I am a social media marketing consultant. I have re-blogged your post in my blog this week, hoping to spread the word (www.jfvirtualmarketing.com).Thanks again for the heads up on this app! Hi Mike –

Thanks again for the heads up on this app!

]]> Comment on It’s hard to give up pen and paper for an iPad by Stephen Tianohttp://www.pcmike.com/what-im-thinkin/its-hard-to-give-up-pen-and-paper-for-an-ipad#comment-3287 Stephen Tiano Tue, 20 Mar 2012 16:28:52 +0000 http://www.pcmike.com/?p=90661#comment-3287 No surprise. I mean, it's the same reservations a lot of us had about giving up pen and paper for a laptop or other keyboard. I imagine, tho', professional writers--i.e., journalist, novelists, etc.--gave up pen and paper in high school. (Hemingway wrote narrative with pencil on long legal pads, but typed dialogue, as he felt dialogue should have the crispness that the speed of typing (over hand-writing) suggested.) No surprise.

Aint worth it that much to me. Neat review Mike, but I just can’t justify shelling out another couple hundred books for essentially the same product every 9 months. Aint worth it that much to me.

My complaint is; what are the people working in the Federal Do Not Call List agency doing about it. I have filed complaints over and over again, both with the Feds and my states own "do Not Call" agency, but nothing seems to be happening. Surely the technology exists and is available to these agencies to find out where these calls are originating, which is probably overseas, and at least shut down the way they enter the communications system in this country. After all, it is taxpayers money funding these government agencies, but nothing seems to be getting done. And it seems that these kind of calls have really been on the rise lately, and becoming quite a problem for a lot of people, including me.
