Privacy on your Smartphone a solution for all

Posted on June 17, 2012 by Percy Kwong

I’ve recently written an article on smartphones only to think about a few things.  One of the things I thought about was the fact that nobody has created a VPN service that is truly anonymous (as in not keeping logs) for smartphones.

Video Conferencing.. Ready for Prime Time.

Posted on December 22, 2008 by Percy Kwong

The reality of video conferencing 10 years or even 5 years ago was a pipe dream for the casual home user.  It wasn’t a robust solution with tons of problems involving firewalls, port settings, compatibility between clients, etc.  It was a possibility in the domain of the elite few corporations with big internet pipes and…
