Individual Arrested for Hacking into Messenger Conversations (Digital
Chosun).

Police said, Kim downloaded a hacking program called RADMIN
through a portal site and installed it in the employeesâ computers around
last December and occasionally reported the conversation contents to the
companyâs executives with the intention of getting the staff, about whom he
usually did not have good feelings, fired.

A person known by the last name Park (32), whose Messenger conversation was
hacked by Kim, said, For some time, I had the feeling that the
executives and company head knew all about the private discussions
colleagues had through Messenger. I began to suspect [something was
up]. He then said, By chance, I saw my Messenger screen open on
Kimâs computer and was surprised, so
I reported it.

the internet is a dangerous place….. even more dangerous when they seize major real estate to show that people have done wrong….

“To Do or to Have? That is the Question”.

A recent posting on the subject of Panamanian married couples who drive older cars but hire live-in nannies to help with their children sparked quite a few comments.  Alex Chernavsky sent in this newspaper story about research done by social psychologists, the conclusion of which was that if you're going to spend money you should buy an experience, e.g., dinner out with friends or a vacation trip, rather than a new car.  The full paper is an interesting read as well.

this seems like the 'To Have or To Be' thesis to me…. I prefer to be, instead of to have….. but i don't always have the resources.

i wonder if this will make it more useful or not… the assumption would be that it would, but i'd argue that more is not better if it undermines other aspects….. also i wonder if it will increase the hits i have in google when i ego surf…..
