"I changed the font size somewhat. I choose to print the text all white...against the deep rich purple made for a better contrast. The quality of the paper and printing were excellent. And I'm particular about paper weight, grain, size of card, etc. The cards met all my high expectations! It is one of the best holiday cards I've sent. Many of the card's recepients commented on how lovely and joyful the sentiment. Many wanted to know where I ordered them...Tiny Prints. Surprised to know that Tiny Prints carries Eid cards. I look forward to ordering holiday cards from Modern Charm every year."
"The card quality exceeded my expectations! I received so many positive comments from friends and relatives regarding our New Years card. The most time consuming step was setting up my address book. Now that it is saved, ordering personalized cards will be a breeze. The selection is huge and the options are endless and I love that Tiny Prints does the mailing for me! Choosing colors and personailzing is a snap. The only thing I wish I could have changed is I would have liked to personalize the picture on the back of the card for the photo card I chose. So easy and beautiful results though and I highly recommend their product. Plus customer service was helpful, friendly and personable."
"This was my first experience ordering Tiny Prints and I am more than satisfied with the product. The watercolors available were helpful in complementing my photo. I was impressed by the quality and weight of the paper. It made such a difference that I recieved compliments on the paper alone from friends who received our Christmas card. Thank you Tiny Prints!"
"I am so pleased with this card. It is beautiful! Simple and elegant. Quality is excellent. Tiny Prints Customer Service is second to none. I was concerned about receiving my order in time for Christmas. I ordered on Friday, selected rush delivery (fee was minimal in comparison to other shopping sites) and was shocked when I received my order the following day (I expected Monday)! That is just unbelievable service! Thank you so much Tiny Prints!"
"I used the brownish color for our card, and it looks absolutely gorgeous. We've received so many comments about how beautiful the card is."

Tools that aim to let Web surfers block companies from tracking their online surfing are currently ineffective, according to a new study from Carnegie Mellon University. Many available tools are challenging for users to configure and sometimes hinder users' overall Web surfing experience, the study found.
One way to make the tools more effective could be to simplify configuration, giving users one or just a few major decisions to make about the type of tracking they find acceptable, according to Lorrie Cranor, director of Carnegie Mellon's CyLab Usable Privacy and Security Laboratory, which conducted the study. Currently, users sometimes need to choose individual companies to block out of long lists, for example.
The study looked at nine available tools meant to help users block online tracking, which advertising companies sometimes conduct to present Web surfers with more targeted advertisements. Some of the tools that were tested by the study's 45 participants were built into major Web browsers. Other tools let users go to advertising industry Web sites and then choose certain advertising companies to block. Some tools focus on blocking Web tracking "cookies" and other types of technology commonly used to track online activity.
The study found "serious" usability flaws in all the tools tested. In many cases, participants thought they had blocked certain advertisers or tracking but had not.
Another challenge was that users tended to be unfamiliar with most of the advertising companies they were sometimes given the option to block. "A lot of these [privacy tool] approaches are asking users to make detailed decisions trusting particular advertising companies, none of which they've ever heard of," Cranor told Security Management. Another challenge is that lists of advertising companies to block appear to be "changing constantly."
See all the latest links and resources that supplement the current issue of Security Management magazine.

With Thanksgiving just a few weeks away, it's time to start planning that big Turkey Day feast. Whether you're a novice cook or a semiprofessional chef, CNET's Kara Tsuboi has some app and tech recommendations to ensure a seamless -- and delicious -- holiday dinner.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan still has it in for the site, after it was used to spread information critical of him and after a Turkish court ruling led to a ban being lifted.
Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan says that a court order lifting the Twitter ban should be overturned.
Ban on video-sharing site lifted five days after the country's highest court said the move violated freedom of expression.
Accounts linked to the spread of government corruption allegations appeared blocked less than a week after the social network agreed to shutter some accounts.
The company will not, however, open an office in Turkey just yet, despite requests from the Turkish government.
The ban has officially been lifted, a Turkish government official confirms to Reuters.
Google says Turkish Internet service providers have set up servers that "masquerade" as Google's public DNS service.
The move comes just a week after authorities took similar action against Twitter, as the country's prime minister faces growing criticism for limiting free speech.
The fight over a Twitter ban in the country intensifies, as the government reportedly blocks a workaround, the White House weighs in, and Google refuses to yank YouTube videos critical of the prime minister.
