Personal Info stolen… again.

More personal information stolen. This time from Wachovia and Bank of America. No worries though, only 700,000 customers affected. On the plus side, those affected get a free credit report.

Star Wars Episode III leaked!

Star Wars Episode III has been leaked to the Internet. I’m shocked. It’s just a workprint with watermarks and timecode, but word on the street is that it is watchable. All the DRM, copy-protection, laws, threats, etc. can’t keep the MPAA’s own from illegally distributing certain movies. You can download a sample here, here, or here, compliments of Waxy.

Is your boss watching?

For those that think they have little privacy in their cube, consider this. According to an article at Cnet, 5% of US companies use GPS to monitor their employee’s cell phones. 8% use it to track their vehicles. 75% monitor websites visited. 36% track "content, keystrokes and time spent at the keyboard." 50% store/review employee computer files. 55% store/review employee emails. The list goes on and on… phones, cameras, etc.

The 401-Keg Plan

CHEK IT OUT I GOT THIS 3MALE FORWARD 2DAY!!!11111 OMG I THINK IV3 SEN IT BFORE AND MAYB U HAEV 2 BUT ITS PR3TY FUNY ANYWAYS!

 

If you had purchased $1000.00 of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00.

With Enron, you would have had $16.50 left of the original $1,000.00 .

With WorldCom, you would have had less than $5.00 left.

But, if you had purchased $1,000.00 worth of Beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the cans for the aluminum recycling  REFUND, you would have had $214.00.

Based on the above, the best current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.
