Recent Articles at Sophos Naked Security Blog

Here are some articles that I've written recently for Sophos' award-winning blog, Naked Security, that I haven't mentioned yet on the JoshMeister on Security:
In other news, the review of Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition that I wrote for the January 2011 issue of MacTech Magazine—nota bene: prior to when I started blogging for Sophos—is now available to read online.

Also, I just updated my classic and still quite popular article on How to Preview Shortened URLs. If you haven't read it before (or if it's been a while), be sure to check it out and see what's new.
