Have you watched TV lately and seen the shows about getting out of debt? In most cases, the so called experts are telling you to cut up your cards. Honestly, I think that's ill advice. Granted, if you can't control your hands and feel the irresistable urge to grab your plastic, maybe you should just leave your plastic at home. Cutting them up is most likely not the best solution though. Here's why: Having one or two credit cards is recommended. Here’s why: - Other People’s Money: If you pay off your credit card balance every month, technically you are borrowing the money for your purchases for 30 days at 0% interest. Some people take advantage of this to start a business by using their credit card, or purchase assets or items that can be sold at a profit.

The cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed that appeared in a Danish newspaper last year have found their way on to YouTube, and this has caused the country of Pakistan to decide to block access to the popular site. Islamic religious law says that no one may make a visual representation of Mohammaed, and when cartoons appeared in a Danish newspaper a year ago that showed his turban replaced by a bomb, Muslims rioted in offense. With a year having passed, newspapers decided to run the cartoons again to discuss what happened, setting off a whole new round of problems. According to the Thaindian News, the offending cartoons have now found their way on to YouTube, prompting Pakistan’s government to call for all ISPs to block access to the site due to ”the ratio of non-Islamic objectionable videos has increased on it”. |

Google to Index Medical Records! |
|
Monday, 25 February 2008 |
SAN FRANCISCO - Google Inc. will begin storing the medical records of a few thousand people as it tests a long-awaited health service that's likely to raise more concerns about the volume of sensitive information entrusted to the Internet search leader.
The pilot project to be announced Thursday will involve 1,500 to 10,000 patients at the Cleveland Clinic who volunteered to an electronic transfer of their personal health records so they can be retrieved through Google's new service, which won't be open to the general public.
Each health profile, including information about prescriptions, allergies and medical histories, will be protected by a password that's also required to use other Google services such as e-mail and personalized search tools.
Google views its expansion into health records management as a logical extension because its search engine already processes millions of requests from people trying to find about more information about an injury, illness or recommended treatment. |
