I have run into some curious notions about biometric security of late. For those that don’t know there has been major attacks on Twitter. Someone was the hacking of some high profile accounts. It is questionable the actual damage done the damage done, the damage to anyone psyche when something like this happens is high, no matter how famous you are. I know some of the ways this could have been caused and quite a few others that could have pretty well prevented it. One of the ways it could have been prevented was with a simply fingerprint...

I have heard “tax cuts” enough that I think my ears are going to bleed. The next time I hear those words out of the mouth of someone who neither understands the economy or will be directly affected by those “tax cuts” I might bitch slap them. Personal tax cuts don’t pump money back into the economy. While business can be positively affected by tax cuts and should be considered, that is not the issue here. Personal tax cuts are simply the means by which those who aren’t having financial problems have to pay less into the... Read the rest of the Blogging in Black and White Article
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) — Gertrude Baines, a 114-year-old California resident, will likely be crowned the world’s oldest woman, according to the organization that keeps track of such honors. Gertrude Baines told CNN two years ago that she has taken good care of herself, “the way (God) wanted me to.” The previous oldest woman was Maria de Jesus, who died this week in Portugal at age 115, Guinness World Records said. It has come to my attention that some people care about being old. What is so special about not dying? ... Read the rest of the Blogging in Black and White Article
The US steel industry has a plan all their own for saving the economy, Buy American. Not only is this a rehashed idea that simply doesn’t work for the consumer it is so tainted with self interest you would almost think the US steel industry was running for office themselves or getting ready to start a television ministry. WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The ailing U.S. steel industry is pressing President-elect Barack Obama for a public works plan that could be worth $1 trillion over two years to boost flagging demand for U.S.-made steel, the New York Times reported...

TechTrader.com recently had a rather popular article on Digg declaring this and that about Google’s future. It was mostly a fluff article about how important Marissa Mayer is at Google. That article could have been a very different story and probably more inspirational to a lot of women if it focused on her achievements and how to succeed in the geek garden. That said it could have been a lot more inspirational to men if they had her strip. She is a blond beauty who would have no problems raising capital and well… if her job at google ever goes...

In a surprise move Colorado Governor Bill Ritter tapped the little known Michael Bennet, superintendent of Denver Public Schools, as the U.S. Senate replacement for Interior Secretary nominee Ken Salazar. Colorado in recent months has made a lot of surprise moves of late, but this one comes from a surprise source, the status quo. Bill Ritter is an extremely accomplished politician and politicians aren’t known for bucking conventional ideas. Michael Bennet has a resume that says, “I would like to be in politics” written all over it. From The... Read the rest of the Blogging in Black and White Article

With the planned trip to Ireland coming up a little more eleven and a half months from now I have been looking into some serious issues I am going to have to deal with. Since we will be there indefinitely the notion of car insurance and travel insurance have come up since I have been informed by my carriers that I still have to maintain my policy here in the states and get extra freaking coverage. That is unless I plan to start from scratch again on coverage once we come back. I have had a period of time where I went without car insurance because I didn’t...

I have been looking for a few gadget gurus to help me with my new Nokia phone and I think I have a few to spotlight over the next few weeks as I work on this. The first site Mob Universe, which bills itself as the complete mobile portal. I know everyone calls it a cell phone here in the states, I don’t need that lecture again, but I was not living here in the states when I got my first one so mobile phone or mobile is my choice phrase so live it. The first thing I notices about this company is it doesn’t get updated very often, but that is okay... Read the rest of the Blogging in Black and White Article
