Readers' Panel: Internet Privacy Issues
2008-08-25 10:00:00 Dear Michelle:Have you ever addressed the issue of security and pictures on your blog? How do you decide what you should or should not publish and do you worry about publishing personal things or pictures of your children?Sincerely,Mary at Not Before 7I've been asked this by many people but most recently by Mary so I'll give her credit. It comes most frequently from people who don't have blogs who, puzzled by the phenomenon of blogging, will ask me why on earth I would expose so much personal information but sometimes bloggers want to know how cautious they should be when posting pictures or information.I don't want to be flippant about this, as with much of life there is potential for danger, even disaster, but it's a matter of evaluating the issues and acting with wisdom.First let's look at the benefits of sharing a bit of your personal information with your readers. Sharing personal things connects you with your readers, lets them know a little bit about you and gives you ...

Issues and Non Issues
2008-08-08 09:45:00 Anwar SyedSenator Khalid Mahmood (JUI-F) recently called upon Mr Nawaz Sharif (July 14) to stop raising ?non-issues? such as the reinstatement of the deposed judges. Others have spoken in the same vein.They assume that the government can tackle only one issue at a time, and that concern with the judges is keeping it from dealing with other more important issues.The present government consists of some 50 divisions and related agencies where its work is done. Some items of business, regardless of where they have originated, come to a cabinet meeting and get settled there along with numerous other items on the agenda. Rarely is the cabinet called to meet to discuss and decide a single issue. The fear that concern with the judges has become an unacceptable distraction arises from ignorance of how governments work.It may incidentally be noted that the judges are not distracting this government at all. Guided by Asif Ali Zardari, it has no intention of restoring the deposed judges. Mr Sha...

What Kind of Guy Would Call His Wife the C-Word? John McCain, of Course
2008-06-19 09:34:00 In The Real McCain by author, Cliff Schechter, John McCain called his wife Cindy the C-word (female body part that when used to label a woman in your presence is sure to get you smacked, broken up with, or divorced. One word to never say if you care anything about a relationship with a woman. Never.) Apparently, Cindy was toying with a strand of McCain's hair and remarked that his hair was thinning. Then, according to MomLogic: McCain's face reddened, and he responded, ?At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you c*nt.? Whoa. Cindy just gave an embarrassed smile and remained silent, and the other people in the bus didn't say anything, either, Schechter tells momlogic. Everyone was utterly speechless. The other people on the bus were two aides and three reporters. Best way to keep a secret when showing the other side of your nether regions is to say it in front of reporters. Why does this bother me? No man would call me this word?in private, much less in public?a...

5 tips to ease your money issues
2008-06-05 14:10:00 With interest rates having rocketed to 5.75% last year, and with many lenders hiking up their interest rates, such as credit card providers and loan providers, it is little wonder that so many of people are struggling to keep their outgoings under their income level each month. Although interest rates have come down to 5.25% which is good news, the credit crunch, which recently swept across the country wreaking havoc in the financial markets as it went, has done nothing to ease the situation, and for many of us it is a case of either doing some smart thinking and tightening our belts or risking going under financially.Below are some tips that could just help to ease your financial problems:1.

Google fixes several site security issues
2008-06-03 06:32:00 Google has fixed security vulnerabilities related to its Grand Central telecom service and its Google.com Web site, the company said Monday. Google fixed a cross-site scripting vulnerability on the log-in page for Grand Central, a service that allows people to have numerous phone numbers ring on one phone and have a unified voice mail. A cross-site script is a vulnerability found increasingly in Web applications in which malicious code can be injected into Web pages that could be used to attack or compromise visitors to the site. "This issue was reported to us (and everyone else) this morning, and we closed it shortly after being notified," a Google spokesman said. The vulnerability was posted to a security e-mail list called Full Disclosure and was not reported to Google beforehand, meaning Google had to race to fix the issue before someone could write an exploit for it. In a separate security issue, Google fixed a vulnerability that allowed people to create a spoof s...

Panty Power: Use Your Underwear to Fight for Peace in Myanmar!
2008-05-31 23:33:00 Questions: How do you scare the bejesus out of the Myanmar (Burma) regime?Answer: Send them your panties!You got that right. A new movement is underway to protest for peace and regime change in Myanmar and the methodology, while a tad unorthodox on the surface, apparently has substance to it. The Panties for Peace campaign plays on the regime leaders? superstitious fear that contact with a woman?s underpants will rob them of their power. Women around the world are asked to post their panties to local Burmese embassies in a bid to strip the regime of its power and bring an end to its gross violations of human rights, especially those committed against Burma?s women. The leaders of the Myanmar military regime are make and superstitious. They fear any contact with female undergarments will sap power from them, effectively, emasculating them. (I am NOT making this up.) To send a loud message to a regime that has murdered thousands of its people, enslaved countless others, subjugates...
