Set Up Google's Two-Step Verification Now for Seriously Enhanced Security for Your Google Account [Google]

This feature is not yet available on my account. Google tells me that it will be available soon. The bottom line is that it is important to secure your information the best you can. I recommend that anyone that uses Google implement this feature as soon as possible. What this will basically do is give you a password and some other key that only you will know. In other words, if somebody learns your password, they still won't be able to get into your Google account, unless they also know your secret code.

Verizon breaks first day sales record with iPhone 4 pre-orders -- in only two hours

Verizon breaks first day sales record with iPhone 4 pre-orders -- in only two hours: "

It took Verizon only two hours of having the iPhone 4 available for pre-order to break its all-time record for first day sales of a single device. That's in spite of the fact it only opened up pre-orders to its own subscribers and did so at the dead of night. To be clear, between 3AM and 5AM yesterday morning, more people ordered up the iPhone 4 than Verizon has been able to get through its doors on any full product launch day. Predictably, the carrier hasn't bothered to include the actual number of devices ordered up, but judging from the server issues it was having immediately after making the handset available and the subsequent shutdown of advance pre-orders, we'll go ahead and guess it was 'a lot.'

Verizon iPhone review

Verizon iPhone review: "

The Verizon iPhone 4 is an interesting product for Engadget to review. Firstly, it's not exactly a new device (not in any outwardly noticeable way). From design, down to its CPU, RAM, and even cost, this iPhone is the same as the AT&T model... save for that one small but really important thing: it's got a CDMA radio inside. The device is also somewhat tricky to review based on its software, since we've all been using (and even took a deep look at) iOS 4.2 for quite some time. So for us the task is to make clear the differences between these two devices and their networks. Now that's a little easier, because we're sure you have the same questions as us. What are calls like? How are the data rates? Is service notably improved or different than AT&T's? Most importantly, if you're currently a frustrated iPhone 4 owner, does it make sense to make the switch? We're going to answer all those queries (and more), so read on for a full review of the Verizon iPhone 4!
