Tech HS is the technical wing of Hoax-Slayer
Here, I spread my wings a little. Not all material in this section is specifically related to scams, hoaxes, or computer security issues. In the course of my normal hoax slaying endeavours, I come across many interesting, compelling, and useful topics, products, and services that almost beg me to write about them. Tech HS is home to a growing collection of articles on a range of tech-related topics including website security, web development, computer tips, and Internet tips. It’s also home to various software, service, and resource reviews.
