My Digital FootPrint

- not obvious to all, but the circuit diagram is for a slow fading light – like the one in your car - This is the BBC news story  http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/10324209.stm Dutch researcher Dr Harold van Heerde is looking into ways to gradually "degrade" the information that sites gather about visitors.  Slowly swapping details for more general information can help guard against accidental disclosure, he said.  "There are so many weak points in security that you can never be sure that your data is safe," Dr van Heerde is from the Centre for Telematics and Information Technology (CTIT) at the University of Twente Something I have been thinking about as well; here is my dilemma.

Sorry, but could not resist this one for a Friday. Honest there is a link to digital footprints.  Given the previous blog about PeekYou – you are left asking how difficult the connection becomes and what happens if you want to break it. Here is the article http://ilovewhatwomenwant.blogspot.com/2010/06/married-women-should-say-i-dont-to.html When we all think of the giant step of marriage, the last thing that comes to mind is the name change- but little do most of us know that it's probably the most important issue that could either make or break your career status.  Studies show that women who choose to take their partner's name are regarded as more caring but less competent, less intelligent, and less ambitious - They are also less likely to be hired for a job and will earn much less than those who choose to keep their own name.
