Google Plus now open to everyone..for real this time

 So you may have already heard but I figured since I have posted about it here before I should post an update. Google has (finally) opened up G+ to everyone 13 and up. So G+ is now as close as it will most likely get to being open to everyone.

 So for everyone excited about (finally) getting to take a look in head on over to http://plus.google.com/

 Personally I am in no hurry to switch away from Facebook but that is just me. I have no idea how many people are really wanting (by really wanting I don't mean just posting about it on Facebook) to switch but we shall see in the coming weeks.

  Time for the next social scam, recently I have noticed an increased amount of Ipad offer scam that I wanted to warn you about today:

 Hey (Facebook Name) Face book has teamed up with Apple to let the public test and keep the new i pad 3 for nothing! I honestly cant believe I received mine today. Let me know when you get one too!

 So make sure you do not click on the links if one of these posts shows up on your wall for you will not get a free Ipad.

MegaUpload taken down, Anonymous responds

 As you may have read this morning the FBI has taken down internet file hosting site MegaUpload for Piracy crimes. It did not take long for Anonymous to respond after hearing the news today. After hearing the news they knocked the following companies websites offline: Justice.gov, MPAA.org, and Universal Music.

 This is not the first time Anonymous has attempted at taking down government sites. This comes right after many sites shut down to protest the SOPA bill which is scheduled to be voted on soon. I highly recommend keeping your eye on the news to see what comes out about the bill as the vote gets closer

Daily Social Scam Report (1-12-2012)

 Time for the first social scam report of the year. Now lets take a look at that gift card spam that is going through your social network site.

 Dunkin Donut is currently giving away $100 gift cards to all facebook users!!

 StarBucks is currently giving away gift cards to all facebook users!!

 Dollar General is currently giving away gift cards to all facebook users!

 McDonald's is currently giving away free meal vouchers to all Facebook users!

 All of these are scams and I highly recommend you do not click on any of them. These companies would not just start posting on your wall saying you can get free stuff.
