02 Guess who? Not NSA? Facebook, Google, Yahoo spying on you big time!
It's truly interesting how people just realized their email is
being read! LOL. Here's they are all up in arms about the NSA, and
Edward Snowden, when it really ain't nothing new. Google has been
doint it for over ten years. Yes, people are that stupid.
Last week, two Facebook users filed a class-action lawsuit
against the social network, claiming that it violates state and
federal law by mining information from their private messages for
advertising purposes.Facebook isn't the only Silicon Valley company
facing heat on this issue. Google and Yahoo each face separate
lawsuits filed last year over their practice of scanning the content
of e-mails ... San Francisco Chronicle

12 Why you should never hire anyone based on their Facebook profile
Or Google+, or LinkedIN, or DeviantArt, or any of the other
social networks. A new study, conducted by researchers at Florida
State University, Old Dominion University, Clemson University, and
Accenture, found that there is no correlation between how prospective
employers rated someone's Facebook profile and how well that person
actually performed at their job.

13 Quotes: All about "Change"
Any change is resisted because bureaucrats have a
vested interest in the chaos in which they exist.
--Richard M. Nixon
Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability,
but comes through continuous struggle.
And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom.
A man can't ride you unless your back is bent.
--Martin Luther King, Jr.
Change is the law of life.
And those who look only to the past or present
are certain to miss the future.
--John.F. Kennedy
