ATM System Called Unsafe
A United States Secret Service memo obtained by MSNBC.com indicates that organized criminals are systematically attempting to subvert the ATM system and unscramble encrypted PIN codes.
Researchers who work for an Israeli computer security company say they have discovered a fundamental weakness in the system that banks use to keep debit card PIN codes secret while they are transported across bank networks – a flaw that they say could undermine the entire debit card system.

Funny T-Shirt Submission
This morning via email I received a funny t-shirt picture submission for my picture of the day category which reads:
“I know Jesus loves me, but I just want to be friends.”
I wonder how many strange looks I’d get if I wore this shirt?
November Rain
Well November is coming to a close which means Christmas is just around the corner.
Have you started your holiday shopping yet? I’ve barely just begun. Nothing like waiting till the last minute 
Today I was listening to the song “November Rain” by Guns N’ Roses not even thinking that it was actually raining outside at the time.
Soon as the song was over, I noticed that the rain had slowed down a bit, so I looked out the window and saw an amazing rainbow:
Anyway, this is sort of a rambling post, yay for November Rain… so enjoy the photo and my regular updates will start up again tomorrow.

Google Thanksgiving
As with most festive times of the year, Google has put up a tasty logo just in time for Thanksgiving:
Thanksgiving Day in America is a time to offer thanks, of family gatherings and holiday meals. A time of turkeys, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. A time for Indian corn, holiday parades and giant balloons.
My mom loves the parades and balloons. As for me, it’s all about the turkey and pumpkin pie and of course spending time with friends and loved ones.
Once again, if you celebrate Thanksgiving, have a wonderful day.
Happy Thanksgiving
So tomorrow is Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day, which is an annual one-day holiday to give thanks at the close of the harvest season.
In the United States, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November, and in Canada it is celebrated on the second Monday in October.
In the United Kingdom, Thanksgiving is another name for the Harvest festival, held in churches across the country on a relevant Sunday to mark the end of the local harvest, though it is not thought of as a major event (compared to Christmas or Easter) as it is in other parts of the world.
This tradition was taken to North America by early settlers, where it became much more important.
Have a happy turkey day everyone!
