Nobody knows you're a dog

So many times we might make a friend on facebook, myspace, or just in a chat room and do so because we don't want to seem rude or unfriendly. However, anyone online can say whatever they want about themselves and we would have no way of really knowing what to believe. This doesn't mean that only the crazy people online are the ones that lie. I think it's safe to say most people tend to fabricate or exaggerate things online whether it is to attract the opposite sex or a future employer.

Facebook

Would you add your Mom as a friend on facebook? My answer is yes. In my opinion, if you are going to be posting something online for hundreds of people to see but it's not even appropriate enough to show your own mother, then it probably shouldn't be posted. Because so many people have facebook now, you really should reconsider what you want on your profile and how you might be perceived.

When Google is Not Your Friend!

Many people, including myself, don't realize that search engines don't provide the same level of privacy as a Web mail provider because of the fact that search engines have access to it's user's search history. Google keeps and records its user's search terms which can be accessed by the government and attorneys and there aren't really any laws to protect users.

The Coming Tug of War Over the Internet!

The nation's largest telephone companies along with Google and Yahoo are lobbying to impose network nuetrality. These companies say that giving priority to a company that pays more is just offering another tier of service. This process will require many technological advances and is becoming a more controversial issue because telephone companies such as BellSouth and AT&T don't want companies such as Yahoo and Google to use their lines for free and feel that by incorporating network nuetrality will do allow just that.

Hoping to Draw Market Shares with Touch Screens

This holiday, cellphone makers and carriers are pushing some shiny new toys: phones with touch-sensitive screens like the one on the i Phone.

The companies are hoping to duplicate the blockbuster success of the iPhone with models that, in their glassy minimalism, end up looking a lot like it. These include the G1, powered by Google’s Android software; the Instinct from Samsung; the LG Dare; and, most recently, Research in Motion's much-anticipated BlackBerry Storm. But with consumers keeping a close watch on their bank balances, analysts and industry experts say most touch-screen phones will have trouble getting onto the list of this season’s must-have gadgets.

Washington Strains for Inauguration

Ian Irbina with the New York Times says even for a city practiced at handling huge protests, marches and funerals, the inauguration of President-elect Barak Obabma will put an unusual strain on local resources. Because Washington has been allotted only about $15 million in federal money to help pay for all major events in the city for the entire year, local officials say they are most concerned about the costs of handling the more than 1.5 million spectators expected to come here, the largest crowd in inaugural history.

“Our city has plenty of experience hosting the inauguration, and it cherishes being the seat of the federal government,” said Elenore Holmes Norton, Washington’s delegate to Congress. “But it doesn’t come cheap.”

Ms. Norton said she was trying to get an additional $15 million allocated to the city, since the $15 million already set aside was supposed to cover the cost of policing all large events throughout the year.

“If we spend all these funds on the inauguration,” she said, “how is the city is going to pay for events like the Fourth of July celebration and the antiwar marches that happen every year and are federal in focus?”

Despite such concerns, local businesses are expecting big benefits.

A Handpicked Team for a Sweeping Shift in Foreign Policy

An article by David E. Sanger of the New York Times says as President-elect Barak Obama introduces his national security team on Monday, it includes two veteran cold warriors and a political rival whose records are all more hawkish than that of the new president who will face them in the White House Situation Room.

Yet all three of his choices — Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton as the rival turned secretary of state; Gen. James L. Jones, the former NATO commander, as national security adviser, and Robert M. Gates, the current and future defense secretary — have embraced a sweeping shift of priorities and resources in the national security arena.

The adviser, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly, said the three have all embraced “a rebalancing of America’s national security portfolio” after a huge investment in new combat capabilities during the Bush years.
