Dating diaries of the lonley divorcees
Daily Mail, UK -
I met Lewis, a 34-year-old promoter, in a nightclub in Manchester last May. We swopped phone numbers and arranged a dinner date in London a few weeks later where I found him a good conversationalistand very attentive-But in a bar afterwards, the charm disappeared and Lewis turned into an embarrassing letch. His hands roamed everywhere as he tried to kiss me.

Exasperating earthquake - why did two earthquakes off taiwan mean
Malay Mail, Malaysia -
Which brings a very valid question to mind: why were there no backup plans? Sure, the ISPs were struggling admirably to maintain their services by switching the lines –but shouldn’t that have been automated? Didn’t they plan for such an eventuality as the quake, when it is clearly common knowledge that earthquakes happen with alarming regularity off the coast of Taiwan? All you really need to do is programme the servers to start diverting traffi c as soon as a problem occurs – and even if a bit of time is needed, it shouldn’t too long.

In the Public Interest Jeff Alworth
BlueOregon, OR -
I doubt that the action will have a measurable impact but I applaud the effort. Mr. Johnstone's comment is unbelievable. Essentially he is saying that today's tv news reporters dont have a clue, cant interrogate candidates and evaluate campaigns to provide unbiased news evaluation rather, they are just mindless "news models" who are only capable of reporting what candidates want to proliferate.They are not capable of independent thought or evaluation. While in many cases that may be true, it is an embarassment to admit that today's tv news broadcasts are basically worthless as a meaningful scource of news. To readily admit that and say "get your news from the internet," etc' is slamming the industry he is supposed to represent,he is in fact making the case for the FCC to take action. Jeff, It is nice to see the Communications Act of 1934 referred to at all. I dare say few citizens and very few broadcasters, unfortunately, actually have a clue about the 1934 Communications Act. It would be wise to study people like Fred Friendly, Edward R. Murrow and long ago( 70's) FCC chairman Nicholas Johnson, people who actually believed their was a public responsibility to having a broadcast license. God bless you Mike Donahue, the last true journalist owning a microphone in Portland.TV owes us so much more. Tom Dargon of KATU knew that. So did ted bryant at KOIN. Now its nothing more than "if it bleeds, it leads." A sad commentary on what people like Tom McCall had originally brought to the public discussion.

The right connection can dial up savings
Scotsman, United Kingdom -
Anthony Ball, director of OneCompare.com, said: "The Christmas period is the busiest time of the year for sales in the mobile prepay market. Retailers launch aggressive advertising campaigns targeting millions of Christmas shoppers with astonishing deals in a bid to push as many sales as possible. But customers need to think of the bigger picture and pay particular attention to finding the right mobile phone package that will best suit the recipient of their generosity in the long term. If you use under around 100 minutes and 60 texts per month pay-as-you-go is cheaper. If you don't use your mobile much, switching to a pay-as-you-go service could make more sense. As a general guideline, if you use a mobile for more than around three minutes and two texts a day a contract gives you more airtime for your money."

The Hype of Skype TV
Waleg.com, Tunisia -
They sold Skype last year to eBay and now they've invested $2.5 billion into a new internet TV station which will use P2P technology and broadcast in near high-definition quality over the net. The TV channels will be free of course and they will be making money from advertisers. Everyone wins. So far, no big TV stations have shown interest which maybe due to loose control they would have over the content, or maybe no control at all.

New Generation Groomed For Cybercrime
Al-Bawaba, Jordan -
Mind Games: Cybercriminals are increasingly resorting to psychological warfare in order to succeed. Phishing emails have increased by approximately 25% over the last year but are harder to detect as they increasingly trick unsuspecting people with ordinary scenarios instead of improbable ones such as sudden cash windfalls. ‘Spear phishing’ is growing in prevalence, tricking users into giving away user names and passwords by seemingly coming from employers or fellow colleagues. These more tailored mind games achieve high success rates and slide under the mass attack radar, seeking out smaller institutions and consumers with targets changing almost daily.
