Policing and injections: last privacy barriers falling fast
I-Team: Injection Used To Subdue Prisoners - Nashville News Story - WSMV Nashville
The city’s policy to use the method, which calls for the injection of a drug into a person, came as a “total surprise” to people most would expect to know all about it.
For almost two years, Metro police have had the option of calling for a needle loaded with a strong sedative to control the most unruly people they encounter on the street.
“Mobile, Domains & The Future” book press release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
New book explains all there is to know about the future of the mobile world and domain names.
Why are our mobile phones so important to us? How will we access information in the Future? What is domaining? Why are domain names so valuable? Can an average person make money through the mobile web? These are some of the many questions answered in “Mobile, Domains & The Future”, the first book by independent Trendirama.com founder & consultant Javier Marti.
Bristol, UK – 3/6/08 – A digital version of the book “Mobile, Domains & The Future” from Javier Marti, is now available for free download through Trendinews.com.
Whereas in the past books about the mobile environment have been exclusively focused either on the technical or on the sociological impact of the mobile web, resulting in a poor learning experience for the average person or web professional.
“Mobile, Domains & The Future” integrates figures, statistics, advice and information on the world of domain names, future trends in the mobile arena, and the implementation of the domain extension dotMobi or .mobi. The book also includes domainers’ personal stories, the debates on which mobile domain extension “is better”, the logic behind domaining, potential threats along the way of mobile development, and much more.
The jargon-free “Mobile, Domains & The Future” provides readers with multiple sources of inspiration while drawing their attention to new sources of revenue and potential business contacts. The book also contains articles from guest authors, comments from celebrity domainers and the dotMobi registrar, and a section where the reader meets domainers hearing about their personal stories in their own words.

- Two things to notice here: this is the result of inter-generational marketing teams working together: real marketing dynamite.
- Some people think that this is typically “weird Japanese” but
would not necessarily work in the West, or not to such an extent…
This is not correct. If the game is adapted for local tastes, providing
content that the user can identify with, engagement should occur in
most countries whose youth population has been exposed to technology
(particularly IM, games, www).

Any opposition to consensual sexual violence and humiliation is based on many ifs and maybes and it seems unfair to penalise the majority of mature, responsible SM lovers on the grounds of what an aberrant minority of viewers of this extreme imagery might do subsequently.
The coming psychological shock is bigger than the economic one
Raised in boom times, many Gen-X and Yers see their dreams go bust - Los Angeles Times
People everywhere are coping with rising credit card balances, falling home values and layoffs. But such worries are particularly jarring for a younger slice of the workforce that has known little but long-term financial prosperity and optimism.After all, a large share of today’s 20- and 30-somethings — a nearly 80-million strong cohort — were in college or high school (and some in grade school) the last time the country experienced a severe financial jolt. Some can barely remember the mild recession of 2001, which was followed by an extraordinary boom that coincided with their entry into the workforce.

What to study?
When faced with an overwhelming array of choices, these may be useful reference points to evaluate our options:
1. Things I’ll definitely learn soon
2. Things I might learn later
3. Things I’ll probably never get around to learningThese are the criteria I use determine which category something goes in:
1. Is this useful to me now? (for day job, startup, side projects, etc)
2. How long will it be useful? or When do I expect this to become obsolete?
3. How useful is it for the time it takes to learn? or How much bang do I get for my studying buck?

The coming job crisis in developing countries: youth’s lack of skills
This survey comes on the heels of the India Labour Report 2007, which does not paint a very pretty picture. It has found that 90 per cent of Indian youth are unemployable. For a country currently experiencing a demographic bulge, with a large part of its population under 35, this is not good news. The majority of quality jobs in India are skill-based, which most young people lack. Only 8 per cent of Indian youth are unemployed, but lack of vocational skills means that more than half of Indian graduates earn less than Rs 75,000 a year.
A major cause of this skill shortage is that only a very small percentage of children who complete the primary level of education continue to the diploma level.
