Maximum of 10 LogMeIn Free Per Account

LogMeIn will be adding a 10 Free Computer subscriptions limit per account.

We’re making some changes to LogMeIn Free — specifically introducing new volume limits on LogMeIn Free accounts — that will impact a small portion of our user base. While the vast majority of LogMeIn Free users will not be impacted by this change – LogMeIn Free is and will remain free – we wanted to take a minute to explain what is changing, who will be impacted and what, if anything, it will mean for you.

LogMeIn has been providing great free service, and surprisingly it took them this long to put such limit.

Bullpie Journalism: Apple Executives are wearing watches

How bored are these so called journalists with their latests reports on Apple and watches. Apparently they are scraping the bottom to make news.

Look! Jony Ive is wearing watches. Well, he must be designing some sort of Apple Watch. Let’s call it “iWatch” and scoop everyone else.

News organization such as Bloomberg and Business Insider are racing to show who can publish poorly written articles about Apple and watches the most. Then came along 9 to 5 Mac with a gem like the following:

Apple executives and a long history with watches

Apparently Jony Ive is not the only Apple Executive who wears watch. A shocking discovery, isn’t it?

Dan Ricio, Bob Mansfield, Greg Joswiak and Phil Schiller also wear watches. That’s newsworthy, apparently. What’s next?

Tim Cook wears a watch? Then Apple must be making a watch.

Let’s not forget that Apple Executives drive cars, eat foods and wear clothes. Apple must be making cars, food products and clothes.

Someone should tell Ed Orcutt that Apple Executives are also producing CO2; they are wrecking the environment.

Please read below for details and instructions.In our security investigation, we have found no evidence that any of the content you store in Evernote was accessed, changed or lost.

The investigation has shown, however, that the individual(s) responsible were able to gain access to Evernote user information, which includes usernames, email addresses associated with Evernote accounts and encrypted passwords. Even though this information was accessed, the passwords stored by Evernote are protected by one-way encryption. (In technical terms, they are hashed and salted.)
