Students urge Jerusalem's absentee homeowners to rent
2008-04-29 09:25:00 While many Diaspora Jews consider their Israeli homes an important investment in the Jewish state, many locals say absentee homeowners have driven up market prices, drained the market of available rentals and made many Jerusalem neighborhoods unaffordable for Israelis.That's why a coalition of student activists has launched a campaign to persuade the absentee homeowners to open up their homes to Israeli renters."We think it's great that foreign Jews are buying here and investing in Jerusalem," said David Uziel, 29, a graduate student in urban planning at Hebrew University. "But if they keep their apartments empty, they are weakening Jerusalem."

Apple urge Orange to subsidise low-selling French iPhone
2008-04-18 17:52:00 French customers could be next in line to see a cheaper iPhone, if rumors of ongoing negotiations between Apple and carrier Orange are to be believed. Reported in the French paper Les Echos, iPhones in France are currently priced at €399 ($629). However the difference would be that Orange would begin subsidising the handset based upon the monthly cost of the contract users would take out, which up until now - and contrary to practices in other European countries where the iPhone is sold - they have not done. According to Les Echos, Apple is disappointed with sales figures for the cellphone in France, 100,000 handsets of which have been sold since it went on sale there. Takeup of the iPhone generally in Europe has been less enthusiastic than in the US, perhaps because 3G networks (and the handsets to take advantage of them) are more common and to some degree expected among European users. As a result, Apple are encouraging all carriers to further subsidise the initial cos...
TAKE ACTION: Urge Presidential Candidates to Support Jimmy Carter
2008-04-18 07:34:00 From Jewish Voice for Peace:Former President Jimmy Carter, predictably, is being denounced for meeting with the exiled leader of Hamas in Syria on Friday. Carter's critics are wrong. Talking to Hamas, which won the January 2006 Palestinian legislative elections, is a necessary part of creating peace. As Carter himself said, "There's no doubt in anyone's mind that, if Israel is ever going to find peace with justice concerning the relationship with their next-door neighbors, that Hamas will have to be included in the process." Please sign our petition -- co-sponsored by A Just Foreign Policy -- to Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and John McCain asking them to support former President Carter and support talks with Hamas: http://salsa.democracyinaction.-org/o/301/t/1849/petition.jsp?p-etition_KEY=1175 Jimmy Carter knows that, according to Haaretz, 64% of Israelis have said they want their government to talk with Hamas about a cease-fire.[A] He knows tha...

News : Consumer groups urge "do not track" registry
2008-04-16 17:53:00 By Diane Bartz WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two consumer groups asked the Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday to create a "do not track list" that would allow computer users to bar advertisers from collecting information about them. The Consumer Federation of America and the Consumers Union also urged the FTC to bar collection of health information and other sensitive data by companies that do business on the Internet unless a consumer consents. The call echoed those of other privacy advocates who filed statements with the FTC on Internet companies' use of "behavioral advertising." That is the practice of tracking a computer user's activities online, including Web searches and sites visited, to target advertisements to the individual consumer. In December, the FTC approved Google's purchase of advertising rival DoubleClick over the objections of some privacy groups. At the same time, the agency urged advertisers to let computer users bar advertisers from c...

2008-04-02 21:23:00 Do you really understand the Internet? I don't mean "understand" like "I could build it if I had to," but understand as in "how does it work and what does that mean for me?" Most people don't.WhatisMyIPAddress.com aims to fix that lack of understanding. They offer, first and foremost, a lookup ip address tool. If you're really behind on your Internet-understanding, then you need to know that an "IP" is an "internet protocol" address -- it's the numbers that other computers use to identify the computer you're using. And it's how your computer and other websites remember things like "cookies." Go on the internet and see that a link is darkened, indicating that you've clicked on it before? That's other computers identifying yours by the IP. I've simplified it there; WhatisMyIPAddress explains it better here.But what WhatIsMyIPAddress does better than explain things is give you tools to take advantage of the things they explain. They let you, like I said, lookup ip addresses to...

Banks urge customers to review transactions done with Hannaford
2008-03-19 16:56:00 Hannaford shoppers have been left wondering what they should do to protect themselves in the wake of a data breach that potentially compromised more than 4 million credit and debit card accounts. Banking industry experts recommend that customers who shopped with a card at Hannaford since early December should meticulously review the account activity related to that card and report suspicious purchases to their banks. The experts also said consumers shouldn’t rush to close their accounts and open new ones if they haven’t seen fraudulent activity in their accounts. In nearly all cases, the industry executives said, the banks will pick up the loss for the consumers as long as the banks are notified of the problem and it’s clear the loss in question was caused by the data breach. “If you shopped at Hannaford, review your (account) statement to see if there is anything unusual going on in your account,” said Richard Spencer, the chief financial officer at Mutual Bank in Whitman...

US experts urge research into cellphone effects on children
2008-01-19 21:47:00 We were pretty much on the money when we speculated that France’s move to warn its citizens about limiting cellphone use among youngsters would prompt other countries to do the same. Experts in the US are urging Yankee researchers to look into the possible effects of cellphone use on children and their development. Youngsters are more prone to any type of radiation because they’re still developing and growing. And it seems that some vague links between mobile phone use and brain tumors has prompted the The U.S. Food and Drug Administration to ask the National Research Council to recommend some future lines of study. The National Research Council advises Congress and other federal government agencies on what areas of science warrants more research.
