Monoprice.com Compromised
Written By Ken | 1 Comment
One of my favourite websites to purchase cheap hdmi cables and various other audio/visual needs seem to have been compromised.
Incident Background: Some of our customers recently reported to us that information from credit cards they used on the Monoprice website had been misused.
Our outside investigators have continued to review log files from our Internet-facing servers. They have not found evidence of any successful attempts to penetrate our computer system. Our internal IT staff found some suspicious files on one of our quarantined Web servers while they were reviewing files to build replacement servers.
We have identified the suspicious files to our outside investigators so that they can extract the files from the image of our servers that they made earlier. We asked them to let us know if the suspicious files are significant. We will post more information here about the investigation when we have it.
We are taking steps to re-launch our site early next week. We will not take credit card payments on the site initially but will take payments through PayPal Express and Google Checkout. We will let you know when the site is available. Thank you for your continued support.
If you recently made a purchase at Monoprice I encourage you to review your credit card statement and make sure there are no unauthorized purchases. I made a purchase just in February but things seem to be OK for me.
Monoprice has stopped taking orders while they investigate the situation. To protect yourself in the future, I recommend using PayPal or Google Checkout instead of giving your credit card information directly to Monoprice.

FRIDAY EATS: Aloe Vera Juice
Written By Ken | No Comments
This weeks Friday Eats is a feature on another dietary product that is taking Winnipeg by storm.
Aloe Vera, also known as the medicinal aloe, is a species of succulent plant that originated in Northern Africa, the Canary islands and Cape Verde. Aloe Vera grows in arid climates and is widely distributed in Africa and other arid areas. The species is frequently cited as being used in herbal medicine. Many scientific studies of the use of Aloe Vera have been undertaken, some of them conflicting. Despite these limitations, there is some preliminary evidence that Aloe Vera extracts may be useful in the treatment of wound and burn healing, diabetes and elevated blood lipids in humans. These positive effects are thought to be due to the presence of compounds such as polysaccharides, mannans, anthraquinones and lectins.
Aloe Vera juice is a drink that’s made from crushed Aloe Vera. It has natural detoxifying benefits and natural support for the immune system.
It soothes and cleanse your digestive tract and improves circulation. Everyone knows how healthy Aloe Vera is when it is applied externally on your skin, just imagine how healthy it can be for your body internally when it is consumed.
The drink comes in a variety of different tasty & healthy flavours: natural, sugar-free, pomegranate, mango, lychee, keewee, pineapple, peach, guava & grape.
To try out various different brands and flavours of Aloe Vera Juice head to your local Young’s Market.

Xbox 360 $129 Almost Everwhere
Written By Ken | No Comments
A quick follow up to our last post about the Xbox 360 being $128 at Walmart. It looks like all other retailers will be doing the same thing and having the Xbox 360 Arcade edition for only $129 starting March 12, 2010. It doesn’t look like this is a permanent price drop issued by Microsoft so expect the deal to only last a week.
Retailers selling for $129 include Walmart, Future Shop, Best Buy, Staples, Superstore, and Zellers.
Good luck! But I’m sure with the various stores selling them, you won’t have any problem finding stock. As we noted before, the Arcade edition does not come with a hard drive. You’ll have to jump on one of your favourite classified websites to find one. I don’t recommend buying one from a store since they are amazingly over priced.
