NIC, how does the rebranded version of LastPass work when it comes to your mobile phone?
maybe a better way to ask this question is, does it come with the mobile version of LastPass?
We have secure browsers for iOS and Android that incorporate the password management. You can find those in the app stores if you search for Webroot.
Glad to hear you got the problem fixed @IRJ and that you like the software!
To answer a few questions: yep, it is rebranded LastPass. I've been using it myself since I started working here and am liking the password manager a lot. I'd always meant to use one but never gotten around to it until now 
The scans are fast because it is sending everything up to our database for evaluation. It sends up MD5 hashes of the files to see if they are known good/bad, and then it does monitor and journal any unknown processes until a determination can be made. The other piece is behavioral evaluation of unknown processes, to see if they are doing anything suspicious - that way it can catch new variants of existing viruses that mutate to foil signature based AV.
Another nice feature that the complete version of home has is backup & sync. You get 25GB and you have both a sync folder (similar to Dropbox) that can sync across multiple machines. You can also do scheduled backups of specific files and folders.

It is insulting. At least you have the full idea of what working there could have been like....
Agreed - the upside is you dodged the bullet of having to be part of such a dysfunctional organization.
That sucks dude - sorry you had to go through that.
Might be fun to prank someone with
I gave some to my bro in law as an xmas present a couple years back. I don't know if he made anything cool with it though.
Has anyone tried Gsync? It requires a special monitor, no?

THIS!! I can't emphasize enough how much of a life saver this is. It's quite literally saved my career and sanity. Read the book (or listen if you're an audiobook person). Enact the system and stick with it. You'll be more productive, less stressed, and may come out of it an entirely new person.
Agreed on saving my sanity. At the time I was a very stressed out sysadmin keeping everything in my head. Now, whenever I feel stressed at work I know that I need to update my to-do list and make sure everything is in order. Instant stress relief.
I carry a phone everywhere since it fits in my pocket. If I'm going to carry a bag then I'd rather just have a laptop with a keyboard. I do have an iPad mini at home, which is mostly used for playing games

Had to look it up and it seems like a good system.
The GTD method rests on the idea of moving planned tasks and projects out of the mind by recording them externally and then breaking them into actionable work items. This allows one to focus attention on taking action on tasks, instead of on recalling them.
It is, and that is the magic of it. It doesn't matter what system you use (I use Outlook and notepad) Once your brain knows you have a trusted system that you actually use, then it stops reminding you all the time of what you have to do.

@nic it was actually tweeted at American, not USAir. USAir just enjoyed and shared it.
Good to know - thanks for that correction!
Here's what I know about how the tweet happened. Apparently someone tweeted the photo to US Airways earlier that day. Here's my assumption of what happened next: their twitter person copied the link to share with friends and coworkers as something amusing. Then they tried to paste the link to their feedback form into a brand new tweet, and didn't realize that their clipboard still had the link to the twitter photo in it. Apparently they used it in two different tweets before they realized what had happened.

A picture of her taco? That could be minor or a big deal, depending on context
No, a food taco silly
@scottalanmiller said:
Wow, that is freaking funny. Have you ever had anyone on your social media team do that?
I know that Jaime accidentally tweeted a taco pic to the @spiceworks handle instead of her personal one, but that was pretty harmless. I've never had anyone accidentally share an image of that...caliber.
