Comment on Identity Theft, The New Crime of the Information Age by Privacy Screens

Privacy Screens — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 17:11:37 +0000

ID theft is on the rise. Its important to do what we can to combat it and protect ourselves. The rise of the handheld computers mean we are entering more personal information on the move, which can result in shoulder surfers having a sneak peak. Theft of a password can be the start ID theft, just as going through ones rubbish.
Whether online or offline its important to protect your information always.

When it comes to free directory assistance, you have LOTS of choices, including several that have been around since well before the Google version and several that have come around since. Try them all out and see which one(s) you prefer. You may want to try them all every so often just to see what’s new! Grin!

Comment on Audio books vs. the actual thing by Basil Sands

Basil Sands — Mon, 19 May 2008 23:18:21 +0000

I am both an avid audio book listener as well as an audio book creator. From that perspective I would say that audio books will never overtake the written word. For that matter I am banking on it by giving away my audio books for free as MP3 downloads at my website, http://www.basilsands.com.

The primary reason that audio books will not corner the literary market is two fold.

1. They force the actors/producers view of the characters onto the listener rather than let the imagination of the reader lead.

2. They are noise…most readers, myself included, prefer to sit in a quiet place and enjoy a book with our thoughts doing all the work and our ear drums at rest.

I love to listen to audio books while working out, driving, or riding my bicycle. The combination of those times lets me listen to a new audio book almost every week. But late at night I still like to sit in my comfy chair with a glass of port and cozy up to a nice chunk of paper and ink.

Books aren’t going away any time soon.

Don’t worry Finally Fouad have been released , by the grace of the king .
