Tech It Like A Man!

I don’t know what some companies are thinking? How can you possibly make it MANDATORY for a person who is hired by your company to get an RFID implant or be S.O.L? I am glad that California has decided to ban it. I don’t know if all banning of all RFID is a good thing, but MANDATORY use bans are. I hate that we are plunging forward into the scary world of someone being able to tell everything about me without me saying a word. Just scan me and you know it all. It’s terrifying. What are your thoughts?

Though relatively new, Technology is well represented in the TechnologyGoal.com blog. Fresh new content is being posted there on a regular basis. The design is easy to navigate, posts well organized. There are plenty of pictures for those of us who just HAVE to see technology, not just read about it. I would bookmark this blog and watch it develop. It promises to be an interesting daily read.

I would like to give this five tacks…but alas I am clumsy and clicked 2. No way to take it back

The other day I logged into my Facebook account, to find that they are releasing a public profile to Google. I’m like …uh NO. I immediately fixed my privacy settings to reflect that I did NOT want to show up on Google with my real name and whatnot hanging out. What I didn’t know was that many people are pretty mad about the change.

How Facebook’s “public search listing” could empower users by ZDNet’s Steve O’Hear — Facebook is adding “public search listings” whereby user profiles will be indexable by Google et al. This, once again, raises the issue of privacy on the social web. In this post, I argue that Facebook profiles that show up on Google results could actually benefit users who are concerned about their represented online.

So, if you have not changed your privacy settings yet, you should definitely go do it right now. If you are okay with people searching your name and a way to contact you, then let it be.

I was overly interested in the way a dishwasher works on the inside. I was happy to find this video in my travels through the interweb looking for information on it. I found some charts, but this video was rather interesting. It’s not entirely clear, but I got the whole idea on how the dishwasher works.

I was just reading on the Apple website that due to all the complaints, they are reimbursing customers:

…we have decided to offer every iPhone customer who purchased an iPhone from either Apple or AT&T, and who is not receiving a rebate or any other consideration, a $100 store credit towards the purchase of any product at an Apple Retail Store or the Apple Online Store. Details are still being worked out and will be posted on Apples website next week. Stay tuned.

There. I hope they that you early adopters are happy and have learned your lesson. No, but seriously. It actually shows the immense power of collective complaints. Just think. With this new massive power we might even be able to get refunds on stuff that gets messed up outside of warranty.

Really, I am glad that the early adopters get some recompense. It was a mondo price drop and if I were them, I would be complaining to the company, too. I am sure that some people will still be mad, as the credit is only for the store and not on their credit card.
