Valued Customer.

In order to access Intuit after 18 of January 2010, you must have a valid Digital Certificate installed on your Computer.
Creating and installing your Intuit digital certificate is a fast and automated process.
Knowing with whom you are communicating, it is a basic principle to the security on internet transactions. only encrypt is not enough, as it provides no proof of the identity of the sender of the encrypted information. Without special safeguards, you risk being impersonated online. Digital certificates provide an electronic means for Intuit to verify your identity. Used in conjunction with encryption, digital certificates provide a more complete security solution, assuring the identity of all parties participating in a operation.
The Intuit server has its own digital certificate to assure you that you are actually communicating with Intuit and not with an imposer.
To generate your own Digital Certificate, you need to download Digital Certificate generation tool. For security reasons, download is available only once.

You will be prompted to enter an automatic renewal process 30 days prior to certificate expiration.

Mac-based Flashback click fraud campaign was a bust
The hackers in charge of the Flashback botnet managed to generate $14,000 from their click fraud campaign, but have not been paid, Symantec said Thursday. New analysis of the Flashback botnet and the traffic between infected Macs and C&C (command-and-control) servers exposed the earnings and the lack of payment, Liam O Murchu, manager of operations at Symantec's security response center, said in an interview.

Test Driving Fuduntu
In my talk at Linux Fest Northwest — and I say this often to anyone who will listen — I mentioned that there is a “digital Darwinism” at play in the FOSS paradigm. That is, distros and FOSS programs rise and fall depending on the quality of the software and the community that gathers around them. Good distros and programs — the “fittest” — survive, and the others, well, not so much. That’s OK: It may be harsh, but such is the way of the FOSS world. In case you’re wondering why I’ve started off on a tangent instead of going off on one somewhere in mid-blog, I bring this up because I think Fuduntu is one of those distros that can be a strong contributor to FOSS, not to mention a quality distro coupled with a growing community. That said, it has a bright future. In giving the latest version of Fuduntu a ride — Fuduntu 2012.2 — it is a refereshing change of pace.

Amtrak Enlists iPhone as a Service Tool
New York Times writer Brian X. Chen reports that Amtrak is replacing its old manual ticketing system with iPhone, noting that the company is among the “growing number of businesses” to use iOS devices to improve operations. Chen reports that the system will allow conductors to keep track of passengers in real time and also provide updates to railway staff, such as if a disabled person is getting on at a particular stop or if equipment fails. Amtrak’s Matt Hardison says, “We’ve made a number of important improvements for both our customers and Amtrak, all in one fell swoop.”
Apple Reports Record March Quarter Sales of iPhone, iPad, and Mac
Apple today announced financial results for its fiscal 2012 second quarter ended March 31, 2012. The Company posted quarterly revenue of $39.2 billion and quarterly net profit of $11.6 billion, or $12.30 per diluted share.
