Even if it's not necessarily unique. The idea is this: you sign up for an account. The company, Square, sends you a FREE device capable of reading credit cards. Then, you can use the device and your iPhone to accept credit card transactions. Pretty nifty. Square takes 2.75 percent of the transaction plus 15 cents. Not too shabby, especially considering that using the credit card's vendors typically charge even a little more than that. The only catch is that there is a limit - $100 per day and $700 per week. I hoping this works really well (and forces credit card companies to find a new way to make money). http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1699 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1698 http://feeds.wired.com/~r/wired/index/~3/-8Gg8j-8p6A/ Tue, 18 May 10 15:09:06 -0700 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1698 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1697 http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/W0i-24h2KJU/Open-Source-Utilities-For-Facebook-Privacy Tue, 18 May 10 12:04:52 -0700 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1697 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1696 http://brohamnation.com/are-you-a-lowes-or-home-depot-person-flowchart/ Tue, 18 May 10 07:04:06 -0700 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1696 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1695 http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/6wevNTwVFhI/ACLU-Sues-To-Protect-Your-Right-To-Swear Mon, 17 May 10 09:43:58 -0700 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1695 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1694 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/7730522/Lying-children-will-grow-up-to-be-successful-citizens.html Mon, 17 May 10 08:12:11 -0700 Good to know.

Same when you enter it electronically the same way. TurboTax's guarantee about audits is THEIR promise to you. There MAY be a claim for the woman for TurboTax to pay for (a portion of?) the fines/penalties the woman now owes. That's their advertised guarantee.

The main obstacle between dumping flash (with all it's problems and downloads and updating) and moving to HTML5 is getting everyone to agree on a good codec.

I remember a commercial a few years back. A guy in a trenchcoat, trying hard to look suspicious, is walking around a grocery store. He keeps picking up items and 'hiding' them in his trenchcoat, all the while being followed by a stern looking security gaurd. After getting a punch of items, he walks through some blue-looking force field. The security gaurd stops hip.....to give him the receipt he forgot. The blue field was a scan of some kind. It picked out the items in his pockets and charged, presumably, an account on file. Pretty cool that this is close to being reality. My problem is this: What happens if I bring an item I have already purchased INTO the store, and then walk back out? Am I charged again? How will the system be able to differentiate items already purchased from those buying this time through? This is mostly for clothing stores (at least, in my head), but what is the answer here? http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1608 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1607 http://blogs.computerworld.com/15815/can_ubuntu_save_online_banking Fri, 26 Mar 10 11:10:39 -0700 Basically, using your PC for online is dumb. It's got so much malware and security breaches that you should never log in on it. How to fix this? Use a Linux (in this case, Ubuntu) Live CD. A Live CD is basically an operating system running off of a CD. Just slip it in and it will run. Then, any malware on your system can't touch it. You can even get a Live CD which, on startup, will load Firefox and your banks website. So just put the CD in and it will bring you to the log-on for your bank.

Man cuts self with saw. Man sues saw company for not including safety feature that is patented by third-party. Man wins lawsuit? It's that last bit that gets me. So a company is required to include safety features? Even if they might not work? Even if they will be cost-debilitating? Isn't that the whole point of the free market, to allow companies to decide for themselves whether the inclusion of this feature will make it more or less competitive in the market? And where does this jury get off by allowing a specific patent holder the control over which saws are able to be sold (by deciding whether or not to license the patents to each individual company or not)? http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1597 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1596 http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100319/ap_on_bi_go_ec_fi/us_metro_unemployment Fri, 19 Mar 10 16:12:04 -0700 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1596 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1595 http://rss.cnn.com/~r/rss/cnn_topstories/~3/nq3QlKDFEX8/index.html Fri, 19 Mar 10 16:06:54 -0700 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1595 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1594 http://itnews.com.au/News/169862,employers-look-to-gaming-to-motivate-staff.aspx Thu, 18 Mar 10 09:19:23 -0700 Interesting concept.

Georgia. Georgia. You were doing so well... The Supreme Court of Georgia has ruled that the state may require placement of even non-sex offenders on the sex offender registry. This would require them to get permission to travel across state lines, are banned from social networking, can have their photos posted online, and, obviously, has HUGE stigma for being labelled a sexual deviant. Jake Rainer was charged with false imprisonment when he was 18 for briefly detaining a 17-year-old girl during a soured drug deal. By a federal law, the state are required to have statutes requiring sex-offender registration for those convicted of kidnapping or falsely imprisoning minors. The court ruled that the plain meaning of 'sex offender' is overridden by the state's law. At least there were some dissenting opinions. Two wrote that because registration places limits on where the offenders may live, work and congregate, it 'is not a requirement that should not be imposed cavalierly.' Rainer is waiting to see if Georgia changes its law before going to the U.S. Supreme Court. Here's hoping Georgia wises up before it needs to get to that level.

Illegal much? I should say so. No person of any kind, reasonable or no, can argue that saying that you cannot go over 250GB per month is something other than a limit. And a preset limit at that. Oh, and the argument of 'access' over 'usage' that the simpleton customer service rep spoke of? Access entails usage when it comes to the Internet. One cannot access any materials via the Internet without transfer of data. That is what the Internet is, merely transmission of data. Access entails the transmission of such data, otherwise, one has no access. So, go ahead. Play that card and see how far you go. Why are deceptive practices such as these the norm when it comes to technical services? I realize that most people don't understand the difference or how the Internet truly works. And, to be honest, it's OK if they want to pray on those ignorant to the reality of it. But, when someone who knows what they are talking about questions the practice, they really need to fold like a house of cards. Just pack up and stop it. Trying to justify your BS policy to someone who knows your full of crap, just makes you look likes idiots.

Pretty cool stuff. The IOC asserts that it owns ALL rights to all images taken at the game. But Canadian law allows copyrighted images to be used in newsworthy cases.

They retired, but unretired to take one last shot at 'their dream'. They got it, and in the process shut Russia out of not only the Gold, but off the podium entirely.

Corporations should not be given the power to use profits to influence politics. Individuals, fine...money is speech. Not sure I agree, but fine. But corporations? Corporations are treated as people, though they shouldn't be. A business makes money from people buy selling products and services these people want. But buying these things is NOT a representation that they also support the businesses political leaning/ambitions. The business should not be treated as a person in this case and there should be NO political contributions from it. The owner and shareholders of said business should be able to spend their own money freely and openly for whatever political campaign they choose. Or at least they should be able to for the purposes of this argument. http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1497 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1496 http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/topstories/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100121/ap_on_go_co/us_cindy_mccain_gay_marriage Thu, 21 Jan 10 07:17:27 -0700 The daughter isn't so surprising, as she's quite publicly pro-gay marriage.

Because LED-lights use less heat, they don't melt the snow as easily as their previous traffic light brethren. The LED-lights were installed because they burn brighter, last longer, and use 90% less energy than incandescent bulbs. But they also produce less heat, making it hard for them to melt snow covering them up.

A joint research project (which I take to be undertaken) by Boston University, Harvard University, Emory University (very well respected in medical research). Supposedly, the process takes about 50 milliseconds - the same amount of time for a non-paralyzed, neurologically INTACT person to speak their own thoughts. If we can figure out how to REVERSE the process....yeah. That's right. Telepathy. Sweet. Also, if this is what we've got publicly released to us....what does the miltary already have.

About that. A few days ago, I posited that U of M should run up the score for the insult of SDSU actually playing the game, as opposed to the more honorable forfeit. What occured on Saturday, I would like to describe as a fluke. Not sure if that actually fits though. It is monumentally sad that the 16-13 game was as close as it was. If we're that bad at football, we should really stop playing. And focus on Hockey since we're actually good at that. Take all that scholarship money and give it to...oh, I don't know...IT students.

Back when, I used to praise Lou Dobbs. He was smart, frank and straight-forward. He asked the tough questions that others were afraid to ask, and somehow found a way to do it without being politically incorrect (or at least not caring if he was). And we were all the better for it. Then he started on illegal immigration. That's pretty much when the wheels fell right off the wagon. He went nuts. Regardless if they were politically incorrect or not, the important thing was that he started saying things that weren't correct. He started using baseless arguments and going overboard on the effect and extent of the problem. And with his supposed sanity went his viewers. http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1367 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1366 http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/topstories/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091111/ap_on_re_us/us_sniper_execution Thu, 12 Nov 09 09:40:50 -0700 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1366 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1365 http://rss.cnn.com/ r/rss/cnn_topstories/ 3/1MVNPGwa66o/index.html Thu, 12 Nov 09 09:36:46 -0700 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1365 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1364 http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4644525&campaign=rss&source=ESPNHeadlines Thu, 12 Nov 09 09:32:06 -0700 GO JUNIOR!!!

Already being used in some Pacific Rim countries (including Australia), the tech is in the final stages of FDA review. http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1346 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1345 http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/rss/tech/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/pcworld/20091104/tc_pcworld/verizontodoublewirelessearlyterminationfee Wed, 04 Nov 09 20:42:36 -0700 Analysts say that this move could spark industry-wide copying.

Because they have a patent on such gene sequences, only they are allowed to look at or interpret them as being the predictive gene sequences. And the company charges $3,000 per test. The suit alleges (correctly, in my opinion) that this gene sequence is NOT an invention, but a product of nature. The company merely found this sequence and what it means, and is, therefore, not an invention and is not patentable. At least the judge agrees...for now. In the preliminary hearings at least. Now the issue is going to be whether or not the suit has standing, as none of the plaintiffs have these genes. A horrible technicality, I know. But, the judge has specifically mentioned that the issue isn't whether or not the plaintiff will win, but rather whether or not they are able to present the evidence to support their claims in the first place. Fun stuff. http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1342 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1341 http://feeds.wired.com/ r/wired/index/ 3/4WpYgyAuqkE/ Mon, 02 Nov 09 19:19:08 -0700 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1341 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1340 http://ranthill.blogspot.com/2009/11/halloween-2009-characters.html Mon, 02 Nov 09 18:55:39 -0700 Click the link to go to my blog and read/see the gang dressed as Street Fighter characters (with photos of the actual character for comparison!!!) http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1340 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1339 http://www.wired.com/reviews/product/pr_droid Mon, 02 Nov 09 10:08:46 -0700 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1339 http://www.aseriesofmoments.com/news_item.php?news_rec_id=1338 http://xkcd.com/657/ Mon, 02 Nov 09 09:40:45 -0700 I love XKCD's charts.
