And with a little preparation, you can outwit the crooks.Beware the skim scam ...
ادامه مطلب More than 6,000 people fled war and slogged across a continent to get to a refugee camp in northe France. Now they endure political hostility in a place they don't want to be. Sudanese, Afghans, Chadians, Syrians, Iraqis, Iranians and others live in a Calais camp known as the Jungle, and another in Grande-Synthe about 25 miles east, because the camps are the closest jumping-off points to the UK, the country they want to be in. That's where many refugees, who often speak English, have family and friends. My colleague Rich Trenholm and I visited the camps in June to get a feel for how technology is -- or isn't -- helping refugees. Mobile phones provide a psychologically important link, but they can't help refugees scale 15-foot steel-mesh fences topped with razor wire or climb into mov...

ادامه مطلب REUTERS The Tour de France has been rooting out "enhanced" cyclists for years. Now the race is tu ing to special equipment to find actual motors that cyclists may hidden in their bikes to give them an extra edge. The Union Cycliste Inte ationale (UCI) said Monday it will conduct between 3,000 and 4,000 tests over the two-week event. (Teams typically bring multiple bikes for each rider and the expected conditions.) The UCI began using its new scanning system -- comprising a tablet, case, adapter and custom software -- in January, when it found a motor hidden in the bike of Belgian rider Femke Van den Driesshe. She has since been banned from racing for six years. "Since the beginning of the year, we are sen...

For instance, Kaiser said you might be tempted to use an unprotected Wi-Fi network to save on roaming charges if you're traveling a...
ادامه مطلب It's tragic enough when your phone is lost or stolen while you're on vacation, but it's even worse when it also happens to contain every one of the thousand pictures you took on your holiday.Phone cameras have gotten so good, you may not need to take a separate camera on vacation.

But phones also have a sneaky habit of sliding out of pockets on cab rides or disappearing into the hands of clever pickpockets while their owners are taking in the local sites.In this edition of Ask Maggie, I offer some advice about how to back up those cherished memories so they're not lost forever. Dear Maggie,Two years ago my family went to Turkey for vacation. Two days before our trip ended my phon...
