Stock Spam

Studying Stock spam is becoming an obsession for some, but this is just another method of Stock manipulation. I have been getting an increasing amount of Stock spam in my inbox lately, yea their getting through the spam filters. Most of them use a woman’s name as the sender and a few appear to have landed in my inbox by mistake when Joe tells Sam about his insider tip.

I don’t buy Stock because I know their values are not based on reality.

Spammers manipulate stock markets  —  When I saw this story in the BBC I broke-out laughing,  don't you think the BBC participles in Stock Manipulation?  Do you imagine that the British upper class maintains their states and wealth by mere speculation?

Reuters and Bloomberg publish fact and fiction about Stocks everyday and they have preferred subscription customers who receive timely information before everyone else does, information is power and timing is everything.

New Media has learned from the old hacks so it won’t be long before the SEC busts a blogger for Stock manipulation, because it’s going on now.

Back in March there was buzz generated on blogs about Google buying Sun, Sun’s Stock rose 20% in a few weeks, so how long before the SEC notices?

Windows Live WiFi

Getting online in a WiFi world

Windows Live is all about unifying our on-line experience and we all need to be connected most of the time to participate in this on-line experience. The Windows Live WiFi Center is all about helping people get connected in a secure way – it’s essentially a first step at creating an integrated software solution that helps people find and securely connect to wireless networks around the world.  The Windows Live WiFi Center is a  beta..... beta = more features are coming soon…

· Hotspot locator: Provides you with the ability to search for free and fee-based wireless networks in countries around the world. The locator shows you the address, description, available amenities, service providers and shows you a map of the location.

· Network Management: Helps you see what networks are available and makes it easy to get technical information about them, including their security configuration, signal strength, etc. In addition, you can tag networks as favorites for future connections, track connection history, and manage network preferences.

· Security: Built-in security, using VPN technology allows you to secure a wireless Internet connection on any network. The security feature alone is a good reason to use the free Windows Live WiFi Center.

I've been checking-out the Windows Live WiFi Hotspot Locator and it's been helpful already, but as its in beta send them your feedback when you find a place to connect.
