Open Question: What can someone do if they know my MAC Address?

Published on January 9, 2010 by Technology Slice

My friend wants me to play Counter-Strike online with him and my other not-so-good friend, but I had problems with it, so I had to troubleshoot it. So my not-so-good friend kept insisting I give him “Remote Assistance”, to my desktop computer which is where he can move around the mouse and touch things on my computer while he watched.

Well we figured my computer needed updates and stuff, but we where also trying to boost my internet speed, while we’re doing that he access my MAC Adress through my Belkin router, and had the dialogue window showing the Mac Adress with the mouse hovering over it for a little while (over 15seconds) I think he was writing it down.

Can he hack my computer if he knows my IP Address and Mac Address? What exactly can he do, and what can I do to prevent him from doing so without buying a new computer?

Open Question: Is FIOS (Fiber Optics) Internet speed shared Like any other Internet providers?

Published on January 9, 2010 by Technology Slice

I’m not too sure if anybody knows clearly on this top but I want to know like in the future if Fiber Optics Internet speed will still/be shared or if each internet speed will be individualized to each individual computer/laptops?
According to what Verizon’s Fiber Optics, their current internet speeds are 15, 25, and 50Mbs/s.
So, for example, if there is 3 computers actively using the internet altogether downloading large media and other files, will each of our computers achieve an internet speed of up to 50Mbs/s?
