He discovered that he had bank information on over a million people.

Unbeknown to Chapman, the machine contained personal bank account and credit card information on over one million American Express, Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), and NatWest customers.

It is a good thing that this was an honest, and upright IT manager. If someone had purchased those same hard drives and they weren’t upright citizens they would have access to millions of people’s credit card and banking information. And who knows what kind of nefarious things they would do.

This is a great reminder for folks to make sure that your personal information is secure as well as checking on the security of your own information because sometimes the banks that we “trust” automatically may not be taking care of our personal information as much as we’d like.

Amazon introduced the newest electronic reading machine that stores up more than 250 blogs, in different categories and updated news from different newspapers that you subscribe. This electronic paper is in black and white screen just like reading from an ordinary paper.  It is very handy and has a long life battery that can stand for days. If you are a book lover, this thing is right for you because you can read different books in one device.  You can search for any type of book you want to read.  What I like most with this gadget that you can read outside even under the heat of the sun because its display doesn’t use backlighting. The screen is easy on your eyes because of its electronic paperback paper display that eliminates eye sprain. 

This modern book is 10.3 ounces with 250 words where you can check from its built in dictionary.  It has access on wikipedia where you can actually see every detail of a particular word.  You can also bookmark a book and go back to the pages that you’ve already read. When you delete a book, it has an archive that autorecovers your book.  The books loaded in this device are from major publishers. When you download books in less than a minute with this device. You may also change the font size. According Amazon.com founder, Jeff Bezos, “the coolest feature of this book is that you can think of a book and you will have it in a minute.”  

 Although Amazon explains the gadget’s main purpose is for reading but I think it serves more that as it is also Amazon’s shopping device. It has features which allow you to shop for your favorite books in Amazon.  This revolutionary reading machine is both a reading device and a shopping gadget.  Still I think it serves its purpose well.
