We know what to do at the voicemail beep — why do the cell phone companies insist on wasting more of our time telling us what to do? Well apparently, there’s ways to turn it off, which I didn’t know. If you use Sprint, follow the directions here to disable the voicemail instructions, and Engadget has other ways to shorten the greeting on other carriers.

One More Reason To Not Use A Mac
With a bit of work, the firmware of some Apple keyboards (A keyboard with open programmable firmware? That’s a big mistake.) can be hacked so that the bad guys can have complete control over the system, recording your keystrokes, reinfect the computer if the hard drive is wiped, etc… . In other words, really bad news.
It makes me wonder if other keyboards that features any sort of programmable features could potentially have an issue like this. Scary stuff, indeed.
(Yes, that headline was intentionally written to incite the fan boys. Just relax, it’s a joke, as there are plenty of good reasons for each platform, I know that.)
