Be ALERT !! Your Gmail account is NOT Secured

If you receive an email with the subject "Documents," and it directs you to a webpage that looks like a Google Drive sign-in page, do not enter your information.

It's likely a new phishing scam, in which a thief creates a fake portal that asks for people's private information and then steals it. (Netflix recently faced a similar issue.)

This one uses a fake Google Drive landing page to get your Gmail address and password, cyber security company Symantec's official blog reported last Thursday. You're meant to think that the documents you'll be viewing are on Google Docs and that you need to sign in to see them. Remember, though, it's all a scam.

"We've removed the fake pages and our abuse team is working to prevent this kind of spoofing from happening again," a representative from Google tells The Huffington Post. "If you think you may have accidentally given out your account information, please reset your password."

Think you're smart enough to tell the difference between a fake Google Drive sign-in page and the real one? OK, which one of these two photos is of the real one?

Choice #1:

Choice #2:

The real Google page is the second, but be honest and admit you couldn't tell.

If you were to put your Gmail address and password in the fake login, your credentials would be stolen, but you'd be taken to a real document on Google Docs, so you might not even know you'd been scammed, Symantec says.

With access to your Gmail account, scammers can make purchases on Google Play, use your Google+ account, access your Google Drive documents and more.

As always, the easiest way to protect yourself from phishing scams is to not click on unknown links and not open emails from unknown senders. Also, don't type your password anywhere that you're not 100 percent sure is real.

Are we going to loose our Jobs ??

Big changes are coming to the labor market that people and governments aren't prepared for, Bill Gates believes.

Speaking at Washington, D.C., economic think tank The American Enterprise Institute on Thursday, Gates said than within 20 years, a lot of jobs will go away, replaced by software automation ("bots" in tech slang, though Gates used the term "software substitution").

This what he said:

"Software substitution, whether it's for drivers or waiters or nurses ... it's progressing. ... Technology over time will reduce demand for jobs, particularly at the lower end of skill set. ... 20 years from now, labor demand for lots of skill sets will be substantially lower. I don't think people have that in their mental model."

He's not the only one predicting this gloomy scenario for workers. In January, the Economist ran a big profile naming over a dozen jobs sure to be taken over by robots in the next 20 years, including telemarketers, accountants and retail workers.

Gates believes that the tax codes are going to need to change to encourage companies to hire employees, including, perhaps, eliminating income and payroll taxes altogether. He's also not a fan of raising the minimum wage, fearing that it will discourage employers to hire workers in the very categories of jobs that are most threatened by automation.

He explained:

"When people say we should raise the minimum wage. I worry about what that does to job creation ... potentially damping demand in the part of the labor spectrum that I'm most worried about."

Pre order on Amazon for Asus Chromebox , just in $179

It's already tough times in the Microsoft world, with Windows 8/8.1 under fire and the impending update coming under recent scrutiny for being, well, a mess, to put it much more politely than my colleague Mark Wilson worded things. If a bad time could go to worse then that would be rival Chrome OS invading the market.While we largely think of these devices as low-priced notebooks, actual desktops are also getting into the game. Now the Asus Chromebox has hit pre-order in the US on the Amazon website.The device is set to ship on March 14th, packing a Celeron processor, 2 GB of RAM, a 16 GB SSD and it is just under 5-inches x 5-inches square. The specs will not light the technology world on fire, and you'll need to supply a monitor and other peripherals, but is it good enough for someone like my parents? Yes, it is.

Chrome OS isn't going to dethrone Microsoft and Windows anytime soon, but it's growing insinuation into the market could be worrisome. Low cost computers that are "good enough" should certainly be a concern, but one the company is addressing, both through ridiculous Scroogled ads and also upcoming Windows 8 price cuts. We shall see if that is enough. For now, the Asus Chromebox is listed on the retail site with a "#1 bestseller" tag.
