There is no Safety in FaceBook

...or anything you put on the WEB.

Woman stripped of disability pay over Facebook photos...


FB like any social network has no real security. It's not the government (even that, look at what happened to EDD.ca.gov last month). Employers, those screening job applicants, divorce and insurance lawyers, anyone can access FB, twitter, and not need any private investigator to follow a suspect's habits. And since it is not regulated, anything on the WEB is still public domain. Anything you post (or anyone else posts about you) can and will be used against you in any public scrutiny. And once posted, you can't take it back. As for this Canadian woman's case, is FB therapeutic? let the psychiatrist decide. Not some insurance clerk.

FB hackers don't need to have FB! Just a system that can read it. Any media can be misused. Examples: A girl sends a pic to a friend; that friend posts it [sexting]- who's at fault? Twitter going to a movie, come home to see it burglarized. Have your kids ever YouTubed the inside of your house? Parents post a baby bath photo, and get arrested. Answer a CraigsList ad for a used car, "bring cash only" to a Montclair neighborhood; gets mugged. And any information can get corrupted- see my face in a cartoon?

Once posted, can be corrupted

Star Trek: Klingon and Romulan Intelligence Desks

The Klingons were originally portrayed as the primary antagonists in the 1960s. A Cold War existed as much as with the Soviet Union of Socialist Republics then. Expansion from Q'Onos [Moscow] was twofold. A buffer of member worlds [republics] and and conquest of farther resource sectors.

Romulans are a secretive race, similar to the Maoist China of the latter half of the 20th century to the present. Borders and internal security are paramount as in North-South Korea.

I am a scholar on all things TtlhIngan. As a society, they are a proud and honorable race. There are many career paths, but the military is the most prominent in the current society. All paths are competetive, centering on individual strengths and loyalty first to the Empire, then to their House. Terraan equivalent would be the US Marine Corps. Q'pla !

I am a scholar of the Romulan Way. Romulans have been prortrayed as a proud, but xenophobic race. They are arrogant and mistrustful [of even their own kind, as the Tal'Shiar is the prime example]. Diane Duane, the author of the Rihansuu series shows their best sides. The later series shows their worst aspects with no redeeemng values. It is my hope to find an understanding of this race in all alternate realities, so that crewman Daniels doesn't have to tell Archer "You don't want to look at that" when reaching for the book "The Romulan Empire."

On YouTube...
http://www.youtube.com/videos?r=1 Based on my most recent selections

Why is it that Music video never became as popular as Audio music? CD abums sell, so why not DVDs? MTV was a short-lived media like Beta-Max. People download music from Limewire and talk about pirated music. The same people watch YouTube, but do they download it to a personal library? NOooo! Maybe it's our short attention span, we can't sit there and enjoy it. Take my next post for example.

Would you A) Watch the short version and wonder "What the heck is this about?" B) Watch the long version? or C) Just pop the damn CD, who cares about meaning?

Graphic User Interface

A GUI uses a combination of technologies and devices to provide a platform the user can interact with, for the tasks of gathering and producing information.
A series of elements conforming a visual language have evolved to represent information stored in computers. This makes it easier for people with little computer skills to work with and use computer software. The most common combination of such elements in GUIs is the WIMP ("window, icon, menu, pointing device") paradigm, especially in personal computers.

Windows in 1985 was Microsoft's answer to Apple's Lisa and Mac as a point and click system, eliminating the use of the typed Command Line.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_user_interface

Why are all the "buttons" so far apart? You have to float your cursor all over the screen to click between menus, actions, scroll, and searches. See that mouse fly off the pad! See my finger scrape across the touch pad ten times to get where I'm going! Touch screen is a nice invention for those that can afford it. I'm gonna need a remote to handle my laptop! I can't wait until the heads-up-display [HUD] interactive system is improved for personal use (I know it exists! Iron Man and pilots use it). Or skip virtual reaality [VR] altogether, and let's just "plug in" to the NET! 2009/11/11

This begins where my FaceBook leaves off...

Facebook, and Myspace, and Friendster! Oh my!
So many "personal" blogs nowadays! And let's not forget Twitter! Do we really need to know how many steps it took you to get to the bathroom 2 minutes ago?

What is Twitter & Why do I care?

This is like the ppl who post webcams 24/7 from their home, either for cash or for kicks. Or the reality show that follows Mr Normal for a month. It's not far-fetched that ppl can have a their entire life showing on the WEB. from cell phones to YouTube to GPS-live feed transmitter implants.
