It's amazing what one can find in YouTube. You can search for a particular song and out pop YouTube links pertaining to that song. You can search for a particular segment in a musical play and out comes links for both professional and amateur performances. You can choose to search on topics such as "How to bake wheat bread" or "How to dance the Tango" and it's a given that you'll be presented with multiple choices. The only problem is it takes forever to download! I need a youtube downloader now!

I was watching a rerun of NCIS where a 'thief' was scanning (from a far) the the credit cards of potential victims. The scanner used by the thief is a method of electronic pickpocketing where the credit card numbers are easily revealed to a high-tech thief without him even coming near the victim. Surely this is fiction... or not!
It is a fact that new credit cards and even passports are fitted with minute two-way radios called RFID (Radio Frequency Identification). It is a technology that makes use of radio waves to transfer any data from an electronic tag. It is also a fact that some RFID tags can be read several meters away from the reader (or thief!). This technology makes it easy for innovative thief to electronically pick your credit card numbers!
It is a good thing that you can actually buy an rfid blocking wallet online. This type of wallet claims to block any unauthorized scanning of your wallet which could lead to theft. I think I should get one.

Jenny Moon is making a difference! She says...
Loyalty, friendship and fun create a special connection between a child and a pet comparable to few other things. Canines for Disabled Kids, a non-profit organization, is helping children with disabilities gain independence and participate more fully in society. This meaningful interaction helped inspire the MyOwnPet balloon line, allowing children to simulate that experience (using a little imagination) with any animal. Right now, for every MyOwnPet balloon purchased, $5 will go directly to help Canines for Disabled Kids.

A recent bank regulation ruled that the issued checks will be processed the same day and that no amount of persuasion from the issuer that the check be put on hold even for a few minutes so the issuer can fund the issued check (in case bank deposit is insufficient) will NOT be entertained. Oh well, it's a good thing that there are now several options for making payments due to the convenience of electronic payments. The novelty feature is the additional service of ach check processing at ThePaymentsAuthority.org. Surely paying bills and getting paid get easier.
