Canada's Competition Bureau sues Bell, Rogers and Telus over alleged misleading adverti... - 1 views

    "as been a recurring subject for some time, and it's now been brought to the fore once again in the form of a multi-million dollar lawsuit. The country's Competition Bureau announced today that, after a five-month investigation, it has decided to sue all three carriers and the industry group that represents them over ads that promote so-called premium texting services. In addition to demanding that such ads stop, the government agency is seeking full customer refunds for any charges incurred and a $10 million penalty from each carrier, plus an additional $1 million from the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association. For its part, the CWTA has unsurprisingly taken issue with the lawsuit, saying in a statement that it reached out to the Bureau last year to discuss the issue, and that its actions today "could disrupt the text message services, such as severe weather alerts, charitable donations, flight status updates or sports scores, on which millions of Canadian consumers depend." You can find that full statement, and the Competition Bureau's announcement of the lawsuit, at the links below."

    So if you think that article about the Microsoft CEO saying women's shouldn't ask for raises was bad.... This article includes some of the "highlights" of the most terrible things said. Notable companies include; Facebook, Google and GitHub to name just a few. GitHub surprised me since I'd not heard anything bad about them to date really - so here's more from a female designer and developer who quit her job at GitHub: http://readwrite.com/2014/05/21/empower-women-in-technology-julie-ann-horvath-jill-abramson

    Also - it might be painful but if you read most of the way through you get to the real funny part. They handed out BINGO cards at the beginning of the talk!! You can probably guess what were in the squares of the bingo cards - that's right.....typical statements from men at talks like these about "supporting women".
