There Goes The
First Quarter!
A s the first quarter of the
gains. In our cover story, we find out how the methods hackers
used to find loopholes, what they are used for, how much they
cost and what are some of the consequences it can bring to
individuals and an entire nation.
Of course, that isn’t all we have in store for you this month as
we other features that are also very informative like the Repair
Special that is catered to all you DIY-junkies out there and also an
article that tells you how to stop Google and Facebook using your
name and photo for advertisements and so much more.
Finally, we also have a very good selection of products when it
comes to our reviews and although we were a little strapped for
time, we still soldiered on to bring you our thoughts on some of
the latest gadgets and hardware.
So, that’s really all I have to say for this month and I really can’t
believe the first three months of 2014 has already come and gone
but no matter as they year seems to be a very interesting one.
Until the next issue, remember to stay safe & live for the moment.
year is about to come to
a close, I have to say that
it really has been a very exciting
few months thanks the numerous events we have had here locally
and overseas. February really blazed by us as Nazrin and myself
found ourselves going for three different work trips in Vietnam,
Indonesia and Japan. Be sure to check out all our coverage for the
NVIDIA, Samsung and OKI inside.
Other than those events, the Mobile World Congress also took
place in February but it was way too close to our closing period so
we have kept the highlights of that show for next month. There
were loads of impressive new devices showcased at the event and
we can’t wait to share them with you.
But let’s set our focus back to this issue. This month, our cover
story is about security loopholes and how it has become quite a
commodity in the industry as software engineers, government
officials and even cybercriminals fight for it for their own personal
