"There are so many secrets packed in here, I have to wonder if the Illuminati will have this author assassinated" - Derrick Mennings, Marxist Internet Weekly Digest Written by an engineering expert with comprehensive knowledge of SEO marketing, computers, and the best Belgian beers to drink with them. Preview the book to enter enlightenment. Give Me A Couple Of Hours And I'll Turn You Into An Internet Wizard! There are other internet secrets books and they work as excellent paperweights and have some therapeutic benefits, too: you can use them to put you to sleep. This book is not to be equated with all those boring-as-all-hell books with dubious internet insights and SEO tips. Trust us: what you know about the internet isn't as much as you think you know. Beyond the basics, how clued in are you really about the internet? You probably know more about Bangladesh (which ain't much, right?) than you do about web development, link building, and search engine optimization. The internet may play an integral role in our lives, yet in informal testing, close to 92% of internet users scored no more than basic competence with it. Less than 16% had any legitimate knowledge of SEO marketing. I can hear you from here: "Basic competence is good enough for me. Why would I want or need to do more than that?" You can use the Google or Bing search engine (but lazily, not with any genuine optimization), get around the Gmail and Hotmail interfaces, buy an airline ticket at Expedia, order a book at Amazon, and post an update at Facebook. Is that mastery when anyone can do that? Complacency never does anyone any favors. If the complacent had won out, we'd still believe the world is flat and airplane flight is impossible. Do you really need to be told that the internet is one of those things you cannot afford to be complacent about? Your livelihood, your identity, your social networks, your ability to distinguish yourself from the competition will all one day be measured by the breadth and depth of your internet skills. Development of the web hasn't stood still. Should your skills? Every single one of these internet secrets will shoot your internet productivity into the stratosphere and leave you head and shoulders above your peers. We're not naive to think you don't know any of these secrets, but we're confident you don't know about most of them. Any of these 100+ internet insights will more than make up for the book's cost * Keep your computer and other devices protected: the best anti-virus & malware tools internet tools you should install to keep your computer, mobile phone, and tablet from being crippled. * Set up sharable internet networks wherever you happen to be, like standing in front of Buckingham Palace. * Start building your favorite link bookmarks across all internet browsers and platforms. * Avoid internet scams. * Download and view internet videos offline. Video streaming sucks bandwidth from your 4G plan. * Keep your identity safe. * Transfer large files. * Set up online music libraries so you can listen to your music anywhere, anytime. * Shop on the internet for the absolute best prices. * View web sites optimally on any device. * Remember your passwords for any site and situation. * And much, much more. Some of these internet secrets you could discover if you knew where to look, but it would take you months to collect the same knowledge you'll find here. Other internet tools we've picked up from years of experience. You won't find those gems anywhere else. Dump your other SEO books and for-idiots web development guides. You will not find another internet book this practical or enjoyable for any price. The new internet isn't going anywhere, but you should. Let's get going, with us as your guide along this infinitely more diverse Information Superhighway.

Book Description
Bestselling author Laurie Faria Stolarz returns with The Last Secret You’ll Ever Keep, a thrilling novel of an eighteen-year-old girl's search for answers and what she finds instead. Four days... Trapped in a well, surrounded by dirt, scratching at the walls trying to find a way out. Four days of a thirst so strong, that when it finally rains, I drink as much as possible from the dripping walls, not even caring how much dirt comes with it. Six months... Since my escape. Since no one believed I was taken to begin with – from my own bed, after a party, when no one else was home... Six months of trying to find answers and being told instead that I made the whole incident up. One month... Since I logged on to the Jane Anonymous site for the first time and found a community of survivors who listen without judgment, provide advice, and console each other when needed. A month of chatting with a survivor whose story eerily mirrors my own: a girl who’s been receiving triggering clues, just like me, and who could help me find the answers I’m searching for. Three days... Since she mysteriously disappears, and since I’m forced to ask the questions: will my chance to find out what happened to me vanish with her? And will I be next?

Steal This Computer Book 4.0
Author: Wallace Wang
Publisher: No Starch Press
ISBN: 1593271050
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
If you thought hacking was just about mischief-makers hunched over computers in the basement, think again. As seasoned author Wallace Wang explains, hacking can also mean questioning the status quo, looking for your own truths and never accepting at face value anything authorities say or do. The completely revised fourth edition of this offbeat, non-technical book examines what hackers do, how they do it, and how you can protect yourself. Written in the same informative, irreverent, and entertaining style that made the first three editions hugely successful, Steal This Computer Book 4.0 will expand your mind and raise your eyebrows. New chapters discuss the hacker mentality, social engineering and lock picking, exploiting P2P file-sharing networks, and how people manipulate search engines and pop-up ads to obtain and use personal information. Wang also takes issue with the media for "hacking" the news and presenting the public with self-serving stories of questionable accuracy. Inside, you’ll discover: –How to manage and fight spam and spyware –How Trojan horse programs and rootkits work and how to defend against them –How hackers steal software and defeat copy-protection mechanisms –How to tell if your machine is being attacked and what you can do to protect it –Where the hackers are, how they probe a target and sneak into a computer, and what they do once they get inside –How corporations use hacker techniques to infect your computer and invade your privacy –How you can lock down your computer to protect your data and your personal information using free programs included on the book’s CD If you’ve ever logged onto a website, conducted an online transaction, sent or received email, used a networked computer or even watched the evening news, you may have already been tricked, tracked, hacked, and manipulated. As the saying goes, just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t after you. And, as Wallace Wang reveals, they probably are. The companion CD contains hundreds of megabytes of 100% FREE hacking and security related programs, like keyloggers, spyware stoppers, port blockers, IP scanners, Trojan horse detectors, and much, much more. CD compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux.
