      Scams like this get people all the time!! I see this almost on a daily basis at work..
  • The next day I received an email from the man telling me his secretary had made a mistake and had written the check for $4500 instead of $450. This is when the alarm bells started going off in my head. When the man told me he wanted me to cash the check and send him the balance via Western Union, I knew something was up. I had recalled all those scam emails I'd received in the past with similar scenarios involving Western Union and money transfers and got quite suspicious.

HP Slate Specs, Prices Revealed? - PCWorld - 0 views

  •  
    With what I am reading so far, I think I would rather wait for the HP Slate rather than rushing out to purchase an Ipad. I think this was a very clever marketing technique by HP.

U.S. aid to spread broadband access criticized | The Columbus Dispatch - 0 views

    • Jeffrey Kendall
       
      Companies always complain about competition when it's too late and they've already missed the band wagon. These other companies have had chances even if it was small and incremental to make improvements to their broadband offerings and they chose not too. They also had an opportunity to bid for this stimulus money and unfortunately they did not receive it. If they had they would not be complaning right now.
  • These local phone and cable companies fear that they will have to compete with governmentsubsidized broadband systems, paid for largely with stimulus dollars. If the taxpayer-funded networks siphon off customers by offering lower prices, private companies might be less likely to upgrade their lines, endangering jobs and undermining the stimulus plan's goals, they warn.

      this is similar to Googles plan to introduce gigabit service to smaller cities on a limited scale to see if the results are profitable. I will be interesting to see if these underdeveloped areas really do take advantage of this service or if it will be lost on them.

  • Many existing systems, they note, lack the capacity to meet mush rooming demand for bandwidth. The new, stimulus-funded networks will provide far more-robust connections - many of them offering speeds of up to 100 megabits or even 10 gigabits per second to schools, libraries and other "anchor institutions." That's 20 to 2,000 times faster than the DSL and cable wires linking most U.S. homes.

Court Favors Comcast in F.C.C. 'Net Neutrality' Ruling - NYTimes.com - 0 views

    • Jeffrey Kendall
       
      I don't see a reason why Google shouldn't be sharing some of the millions their making off of YouTube and Google video advertising with service providers considering the amount of resources they are taking up but I do not agree with comcast restricting access to the site as a secondary option.
  • The court’s ruling could potentially affect content providers like Google, which owns YouTube, a popular video-sharing service. Content providers fear that Internet service companies will ask them to pay a fee to ensure delivery of material like high-definition video that takes up a lot of network capacity.

RIAA's college lawsuits a wrong answer - CNET News - 0 views

  •  
    Article talks about how RIAA can have the federal government issue subpoenas by simply making allegations of infringement and requiring University administrators to turn over the IP address owners of the guilty parties. This ability conflicts with peoples' right to be assumed innocent until proven guilty. To fight this, the adminstrators are shuffling IP addresses among different individuals regularly so that they can honestly say that they have no identifying information to provide.
