Children Saved From Sect

"More than 200 women and children have been removed from a Texas ranch that's home to members of a polygamist sect , but authorities have not identified the girl who called them with allegations of abuse. The 16-year-old girl, who called authorities last week with allegations of physical and sexual abuse at the compound, may be in the group and using a different name, Marleigh Meisner, a spokeswoman for Texas Child Protective Services, said at a news conference Sunday." More and more of these cults and sects are springing up everywhere. These so call prophets or leaders manage to pull the wool over people's eyes and prey on the emotionally weak or the desperate. They put their " followers " into a trance by supplying a false sense of purpose and security. The government needs to do more to combat these so called leaders. It seems every man and his dog is setting up a religion or cult, reaping tax benefits by taking advantage of the weak. More often than not...

Day Light Savings

"MOBILE phone and computer time settings have been thrown into chaos by the extension of daylight saving in the east – and the confusion is set to continue with the country now divided into four time zones. Phones, computer programs and even Telstra's speaking clock service reverted to standard time a week too early in some eastern states yesterday, after the end of daylight savings was extended to 3am on April 6. But someone didn't tell the phones, some of which had a mind of their own. Telstra spokesman Peter Taylor said new-generation mobile phones and BlackBerry handsets were affected most because they had software that could override their systems." Personally I don't understand the need for daylight savings . As far as I can see, the only purpose it serves is to confuse people. I think they should just keep the times the same all year round instead of causing difficulty for people. It's hard not to be confused with the times constantly going forward a...

Toshiba and Samsung are Environmentally Friendly

" Toshiba and Samsung top the latest Greenpeace environmental ranking of consumer electronics companies. The ranking, which was published on Tuesday, scores the world's largest consumer electronics companies based on their recycling policies and the toxic content of their products. Toshiba climbed six ranks to tie at the top with previous leader Samsung, thanks to moves towards taking care of the electronic waste generated when its customers discard its products." It's about time the big electronics companies started taking care of the environment . They sell so many electronics products to so many people that they are in a good position to make a huge on our environment for the better. The fact that Toshiba moved six ranks up is a good indication that these big corporations are starting to think about how they can better look after the earth. After all if they don't, there won't be anyone left to sell plasma tv's and laptops too.

Kurtlar Vadisi Pusu

Kurtlar Vadisi Pusu is a popular extension of the Kurtlar Vadisi series aired in turkey over recent years. It involves a Turkish secret agent, Polat Alemdar, who goes undercover to infiltrate the Turkish mafia. The Kurtlar Vadisi series has been a smashing hit in Turkey and even led to a full length movie called Kurtlar Vadisi Irak , which broke records when released. Kurtlar Vadisi Pusu sees Polat Alemdar slowly moving away from reporting to the secret service as the corruption reaches very high places. He sees his friends around him slowly die one by one as he wages war against all that is corrupt. The Kurtlar Vadisi series has made Polat Alemdar the hero of Turkey. Each episode is following fanatically by millions of people. I can't see the Kurtlar Vadisi series stop airing any time soon. The Turkish people just can't get enough.

Ebay Not Looking Too Good

"The world’s largest Internet marketplace, eBay , reported a whopping profit on Wednesday spurred along by strong growth from PayPal online payments, StubHub, Skype, classifieds, and advertising as well overseas auctions. But its weaker-than expected forecast for 2008 sales and profit sent shares tumbling, overshadowing the departure of long-time Chief Executive Officer Meg Whitman." It seems Ebay has already peaked in terms of success and is now on the way down. They have enjoyed years of prosperity but now lack the innovation to keep the momentum. With other auction sites springing up everywhere and VOIP available with different software packages Ebay and SKYPE are no longer the industry leaders. They need to come up with something original to be able to stay on top of the industry.
