Verizon insists that it’s anonymizing the data it shows to third parties and is only selling data on large groups of customers broken down by geography and other demographics. The carrier also says that it has always collected this sort of data and has always been willing to hand it over to law enforcement officials if compelled by a search warrant. All the same, the Journal’s report raisesHow to Stop Worrying and Love Twitter's New Two-Factor Verification

But at some point in the very near future, you get on that. Here's why, even if the new cellphone hiccup seems cumbersome.HP profit down 32 percent, shares up as results beat estimates

iPad App Video Review: Frozen Synapse
Developed by Mode 7, this is like a smaller scale and more action oriented take on Diplomacy. You and your opponent actually put all your units moves in during the planning phase, only to watch the outcome in the action phase. The game is all about covering your bases and trying to anticipate your opponents moves by setting ambushes, destroying cover, and just making sure you're aiming in the right direction to engage. The game is pretty complex, but also simple to get into. There are about ten minutes worth of tutorial videos to prep you before you take on a real opponent.Twitter adds security measure to logins
