:: Online Safety

06/26/2006
The proliferation of computer technology and emergence of the Internet has enhanced the lives of children and adults. Increasing productivity and efficiency, the Internet is a powerful educational tool, and it provide youths a vast amount of information. That said, it is important to remember that the Internet can also be very dangerous. Criminals are using modern technology to prey on innocent victims.

According to research, one in five youths, ages 10-17, were approached online sexually or were sexually solicited. The tool for the solicitation was the Internet. In fact, 89% of those solicitations occurred via chat rooms or with predators using instant messaging. Additionally, nine out of ten children online, ages 8-16, have viewed pornography online.

:: Downside to Businesses Relying on Web Applications

06/25/2006
Because of a scheduled vacation I had planned to work this weekend. When I logged into Writely (Google's online word processor) I received a message that it was closed for scheduled maintenance.

This has reinforced my belief that desktop applications will always have a home in my business.

:: Small Businesses to Get More Action

06/14/2006
Small businesses will now have access to an estimated $16 billion in federal spending once reserved almost exclusively for larger firms, under a Senate bill passed Wednesday.

Because federal purchases under $2,500 made by credit card are not subject to bidding -- unlike major government contracts -- small businesses have traditionally lost out to larger, more established competitors. The Purchase Card Waste Elimination Act, passed unanimously, seeks to level the playing field.
