clipper's remarks: I think we're often drawn into neat web tools because new stuff is usually fun, trendy and usually offers some level of nifty use-ability and forward change. It's not until we're knee deep in it that we realize just how much of ourselves we've released into the wild yonder. Here's one example....

Google Dashboard Knows Too Much

11.05.09

Thanks to Google's new Dashboard feature, anyone with a Google account (essentially a Gmail address) can see everything the company is tracking about them.

Every query is features a date- and time-stamp.

what a remarkable forensic device it could be

Google's vast store of people knowledge goes way beyond search. It has so many services and such a huge user base that it's safe to say that Google may know more about you than virtually any other online

service provider (to be fair, if Microsoft or Yahoo had a similar service, we might see some of the same detail).

What will Google do with my years of search data,

when I'm dead?

would Google preserve it and offer it to my family? The data is my private information, but who owns it? Google? Me? My loved ones?

The real distractions for pilots

The real distractions for pilots

The scolds in Congress pushing for legislation banning nonessential gadgets from the cockpit are on the wrong track

the witch hunt is on: Politicians are weighing in, pushing for federal legislation that would prohibit pilots from using laptop computers and other devices while flying

on this square-wheeled bandwagon is Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., who wants to ban all nonessential gadgets from the cockpit

What's true in a car is generally true in an airplane," he added, demonstrating an exquisite knowledge of how jetliners are operated

most all airlines prohibit the personal use of computers in the cockpit

Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) restrict a pilot's use of certain other devices

Is a federal law going to make any difference?

And if Menendez is truly that concerned about "distraction," why is he not weighing in on the improvement of flight and duty time regulations, which, believe me, are a much bigger threat to safety than a pilot's laptop or iPhone.

Hi-tech help for baffled Santas

Baffled Santas are being sent on a crash course in hi-tech toys to help them keep up with today's gadget-obsessed kids.

The training scheme was launched after ageing Santas complained they couldn't understand what children were asking for in their Christmas lists.

An online helpline has also been set up so Santas can call experts and ask for technical advice on computer games, consoles, cameras, and MP3 players.

Jeremy Fennell from PC World told The Sun: "There are more than 40,000 different gadgets and technologies on sale right now, a great many of which are going to be on children's Christmas lists.

"The Santas we are training are going to be faced with a very technically literate and technology savvy generation of youngsters over the next two months and we want them to be able to show that they understand what these kids are asking for.

Love is generous

When we think about a generous lover, the first thing that comes into our minds is one who is generous and fond of giving material gifts. We show generosity with material things to the ones we love with flowers, jewelry, money, spending on dates, electronic equipment and gadgets, and even cars or houses.

Indeed, having time for each other is a critical factor in a healthy and harmonious relationship.

Reading a sex toys blog can help you find tips on how you can do so. But of course, we should also keep in mind that we should take care of our sexual health in a way that we do not just engage in to something that we are not sure of.

Are you a stingy lover? We should never be stingy when it comes to showing affection to those we love.

Electronic Waste - A Call For Change

Sat, 31 Oct 2009 11:46:44 GMT

clipped by: celestialdancer
clipper's remarks: It goes deeper into the way electronic gadgets are manufactured. People have noticed this for a long while but no one had/has done anything to change the real cause of this problem.

No one questions why a perfectly good TV, stereo, printer etc has to get thrown away because a very minor part no longer functions and manufacturers make it more expensive to buy the replacement part that would fix it. So, it works out cheaper for people to throw it out and buy a new one.

Everyone knows this, but why is this allowed to continue. Printers are soooo cheap, but the ink to refill is expensive. It is cheaper to use the printer once, throw it out and buy a new one compared to replacing the ink. The list goes on...

Doesn't this have to change??? Isn't this the real culprit???

It seems that every day brings a new electronic gadget to the market, whether it’s a smart phone, an electronic reader, a laptop the size and weight of a magazine, or a television the size of a wall. But each advance adds to the world’s electronic waste, which is the fastest-growing component of solid waste. Much of the electronic refuse ends up in developing countries, where workers strip down the gadgets to get at the copper and other valuable metals inside, often exposing themselves to toxins in the process. Now, scientists are calling for federal regulations in the United States to stem the tide.

Although the U.S. is one the world’s largest producers of electronic waste (e-waste), it is hardly a leader in addressing this problem, given that the country has “no legally enforceable federal policies requiring comprehensive recycling of e-waste or elimination of hazardous substances from electronic products,” the researchers say [Scientific American].
