After the news of Cisco Changes Privacy Policy in Cloud Connect Service I am now convinced never to use this companies home router ever again. To me the 'social' cloud junk has to stop being forced down our collective throats!

A new threat announced to tody for anyone using Linksys Routers: D-Link Router Vulnerable To Authentication Bypass

So why do people trust the cheaply made Linksys routers anymore?

Likewise, on Comcast, with my Netgear WNDR4500. Also own my Motorola SB6121 cable modem.

Wouldn't compute without one, and you wait and see, if "Trump" gets elected there will be a major rush on foil.

This is what I was talking about.

Think about it if you have a large story home it could help your router transfer wireless Internet through the the upstairs!

Well now the article VMWare Fusion and Workstation Development Team Fired to be Outsourced dropped and now in good faith I can no longer support Mac Fusion any more and now will use/recommend the alternatives of the free VitualBox or the shareware Parrallels.
