Parents To Block Kids From Joining MySpace
The reason I am blogging this will become apparent..
“A New York Times blog notes that attorneys general of 49 states are announcing a partnership with MySpace to fight sexual predators on social networks by letting parents submit the e-mail addresses of their children, so the company can prevent anyone from using that address to set up a profile. MySpace will also set up a ‘closed’ section for users under age 18 so only their established online friends can visit their pages. MySpace also promises to hire a contractor to identify and delete pornographic images on the site. ‘This set of principles is a landmark and milestone because it involves an acknowledgment of the importance of age and identity authentication,’ said Connecticut attorney General Richard Blumenthal.”
“MySpace also promises to hire a contractor to identify and delete pornographic images on the site.” — That guy has the best fucking job ever..
“So, what do you do for a living?”
“Oh, I work with computers, the Internet…”
“Really? I’m a Web Designer..”
“Cool, I look at porn.”
Covered above, but I felt it deserved a special mention; The Vaio Zoom notebook concept takes everything we know about holographic technology and squeezes it inside a thin glass form factor. When off, the screen is completely transparent and the keyboard goes opaque. Turn it on and the touchscreen holographic festivities begin. Even the mouse buttons are holographic!
