Internet Scammers and Advertisers Stay on Cutting Edge of Technology

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

This is freaking unbelieveable!

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Internet chatroom romantics beware: your next chat may be with a clinical computer, not a passionate person, trying to win your personal data and not your heart, an online security firm says.

A Russian website called CyberLover.ru is advertising a software tool that, it says, can simulate flirtatious chatroom exchanges. It boasts that it can chat up as many as 10 women at the same time and persuade them to hand over phone numbers.

An Australian anti-virus software firm, PC Tools, has warned that the software could be abused by identity fraudsters trying to harvest people’s personal details online. The Russian site denied it was intended for identity fraud.

Huckabee Gets It!

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

Of all the candidates, Huckabee is one who gets it.  Sunday night he explained why we are paying so much to the government.  This is a great quote, showing Huckabees wisdom and insight.

Government may have dropped the ball in modern American society, but religion dropped it first, Gov. Mike Huckabee told Southern Baptist pastors Sunday night. . . . “Government knows it does not have the answer, but it’s arrogant and acts as though it does,” Huckabee said. “Church does have the answer but will cowardly deny that it does and wonder when the world will be changed.” . . . . “I’m often asked why taxes are so high and government is so big. It’s because the faith we have in local churches has become so small. If we’d been doing what we should have — giving a dime from every dollar to help the widows, the orphans and the poor — we now wouldn’t be giving nearly 50 cents of every dollar to a government that’s doing … what we should have been doing all along.” . . . The most basic unit of government is not the city council, quorum court or state legislature, Huckabee said. “It is Mom and Dad raising kids and teaching them respect for authority, others and God.”

CompUSA is closing all of its stores (Finally!)

 CompUSA is closing all of its stores (Finally!)

Read the whole story HERE.

PC Retailer CompUSA plans to close all its stores after the holidays, part of a sale of its assets to Gordon Brothers Group, a restructuring firm.
CompUSA, owned by the Mexican based firm Grupo Carso SA, has 103 stores in 68 markets.
Reports said that Gordon Brothers would look to sell individual stores in certain markets and close those that it could not sell.

In recent years, CompUSA has struggled against other big-box retailers such as Best Buy (NYSE:BBY) and Internet-based companies such as CDW (NSDQ:CDWC ). Earlier this year, CompUSA had tried to ignite some interest with small businesses by reaching a deal with Microsoft (NSDQ:MSFT) to offer the services of Microsoft’s Small Business Specialist Community (SBSC) to CompUSA’s small-business customers.

Under the plan, CompUSA would refer customers that needed services to the 3,750 Microsoft SBSC partners in the United States, providing the partners had registered as a CompUSA TechPro Business provider.

A typical opportunity with CompUSA might have involved resolving a server or an application issue for a current customer or helping a new customer set up an office, said Gregory Geodakyan, managing partner at SoftNet Technology, an Iselin, N.J.-based solution provider, in an interview with CMP Channel earlier this year.

“This is a good market. Until this point, it’s been up to us to shake the business out of [CompUSA's] business services guys for the leads. Now with the formalization of the program and with Microsoft throwing some might behind it, it will raise the profile of the program,” Geodakyan said.

Many solution providers also used CompUSA as an alternative sourcing option, but it was clearly not enough to support the company, which had already closed more than 100 stores earlier this spring as part of a restructuring.

CompUSA was founded in 1984 and rose to national prominence under the guidance of Nathan Morton. As chairman and CEO, Morton led CompUSA from two stores and $60 million in sales as SoftWarehouse to its standing as a multibillion-dollar national retailer in less than five years. He was posthumously honored as a member of CRN’s Industry Hall of Fame in 2006. He succumbed to cancer at the age of 57 in 2005.

Huckabee Support Growing. He’s the Man!

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

Rasmussen reports that the trend toward Hucakbee is continuing.  Read the article HERE.

Now you all know about my amazing campaign for the presidency.  But, other than me, here’s my picks at this time:

DEMOCRATS: No Democrat candidate for President, Senate, House, or any other office has demonstrated any competency, value, credibility, or any conceivable positive attribute. Anyone who is so void of self respect, morality, decency, patriotism, and regard for their fellow citizens are the ones who will vote Democrat.

REPUBLICANS: You know that I’m not crazy about Republicans either. In fact I have urged my readers to eschew the Republican Party because they have refused to use their position in power to positively effect our nation.  I don’t think I can bring myself to vote Republican, but still, the Republican candidates are the only ones worth considering for 2008.  Here’s my picks with a few comments:

1. Mike Huckabee. Huckabee is real. He believes some things and he’s not afraid to speak out about what he believes. This man has principle.  He’s not a fake. This is what the voters like. I am so sick of the slicked up, “Say what they want to hear” philosophy in politics.  Huckabee will do what he says he will do.  Some people have questioned him based on his history of support for social programs.  I think that concern is overstated.  Right now we need a candidate who is CLEARLY NOT a Democrat!  Huckabee fits the bill and he will do the job well.

2. Ron Paul.  The only reason people don’t like Ron Paul is because he supports the Constitution of the United States of America.  It’s a shame that we’ve gone so far off-track that people who actually believe we should follow the Constitution are considered to be radicals!

3. Fred Thompson. This is tough.  Thompson is fairly conservative, but he’s been a serious disappointment.  With all the clamoring for a Thompson candidacy, I thought this guy must be pretty good.  He’s boring. He’s laid back. He’s not a fighter. He’s not going to make it.  Maybe for Vice President.

4. Mitt Romney.  This is tough, but Romney is not worse than Rudy.

5. Rudy Giuliani.  Rudy is a tough, intelligent, fighting man.  Too bad though because he’s too much like a Democrat.
