Quattro was derided as a knock-off by Lotus in the 1980s, but after all these years, it's Quattro Pro that survives. After shrinking for decades, cell phones are now becoming larger. In Short Circuits: It appears that Home Depot is the latest retail operation to be hacked, a quick follow-up on a couple of free applications, another quick update on my troubles connecting a Seagate hard drive to a NetGear router, off-line fraud comes to your mailbox, and nude celebrity pix push Apple's stock lower.
