Wanted to know about the credit cards and pick up... same as the e-mails above, but they gave the address as 4334 Gills Rd. Dallas Texas phone # 214-469-9508.

Thanks for having this info as I suspected a scam and this site was the only reference similar to what I experienced. Most fraud sites with posted warnings are for consumers and not small business. I had an email request for a big ticket item, paying by credit card ,he would come here to pick up. That was ok but the spelling was bad so I was unsure. Then he wanted 3 more expensive items and provided a company to ship by. No way! As a small business, we cannot absorb losses like that, and at the same time cannot assume all email requests are scams. Here is the info: email@example.com Details of the shipping company. Name: Air Cargo Shipping Ltd Manager: Michael Moore Email address: firstname.lastname@example.com

You Know If they would at least take the time to use the written language correctly they might do better .

So - I am experiencing the same scam at present with the payment to the bogus shipping company. This is the second time for my company. We realised early on the first time (two years ago) that it was all bogus, but went through with the payment to our account ($8500.00), before notifying the bank who informed us that the credit cards used were stolen, whereas we refunded the money (no loss to us). However, nobody seemed interested in catching these guys. This time, I am dealing with "Scott Phillips" from Saint Louis,Mo, and he wants to ship my goods from Brisbane Australia to Barcelona in Spain. Shipping cost is USD $3500.00. I am now just waiting for him to call and provide me the credit card details. Then I am going to email the scumbag tomorrow and tell him that I found a cheaper freight company and that I have now paid them and he should receive his goods soon. Cant wait for his response - I will keep you posted.

We received an email today requesting Windows to be shipped to Santiago De Chile using a freight forwarder and wanting to pay all taxes/fees up front via CC. They are now using 'William Wright' as a contact from a company called: SGB CO-Operation Ltd. He (they) sent this quote to several people in our company. After a couple of emails, they agreed to our price for windows. When we asked to have a bank wire instead of CC payment, they stopped responding... Classic.

The latest is from Smith Wilson at Smithsltds. If they have access to your website they will try to make sure that there request is a legitimate one. Here is the best way to figure things out. when someone sends you an e-mail and they make the request for product you sell, they will request it with just their fake name and to e-mail them. example; Hi Am Mr Smith Wilson.I would like to place an order of (Duct and Insulation coasting)from your company to Haiti,kindly email me with the types you have and their prices and also ,your term of payment.Waiting for your prompt responses. Thanks Smith Just respond requesting the name of their company telephone # and address and what specific products they are asking for. Once they send it to you, Google their telephone #. and that's how I was brought to this site. Hope this helps.

I got a random e-mail from one Hafiz Bradley at Grinnell Warehouse 4332 Gills Rd, Dallas, TX --- he was asking for a price on something we don't carry without any quantity indicated. I am used to strange e-mails asking for pricing on an item in our catalog, but almost never something we don't carry. Unless it's asking for custom pricing and gives a quantity. None of that happened here. I asked him to choose something from by catalog with a quantity. He came back with an item that is non stock, but he still didn't give me a quantity. I replied to him to choose another item and to give me a quantity. He came back with another item I actually have and he wanted 100 pcs. I was about to quote him and decided to google the address. There is no such address. Gills Road ends at 4000. There is no 4332. And it's a residential neighborhood. I then decided to google the company name and this website came up. Thank you all for contributing. Anonymous October 31st 2014 3:50PM PDT

We just got an email from "Baines Green" who wanted to order 6000 dollars worth of seed beads and copper beads. Definitely a scam. He wants us to use Reima Express International shipping.

I think this same form of scam is hitting on me. I am a very small in home business, and everything written here is just like the email I got. A fellow in Florida wants a large quantity of my product shipped to Sweden. Wants me to use his preferred company : EasyAccess Logistics paying the shipping from a payment he makes to me with credit card, but I don't take credit cards..... Both the email from this fellow and the one from the shipping company seem to be broken English. Very suspicious so I searched for them on google, and came to this web site. For now contact with them will go no further.

This form of scam has been going on for years. Anyone selling over the internet is a target. We have received literally hundreds of these emails. The one constant in all is the gimmick about asking you to arrange pick up from a certain shipper to whom you are to pay for the shipping. If you see that, it is 99% surely one of these scams.

OMG I was took but it could have been worse It started off with an e-mail from a guy that wanted to purchase air conditioning equipment and that he was a reverend Frank Walters and that he was purchasing this equipment for a ministry over in Haiti so I worked up an order and gave him the price and he advised me that I needed to get in touch with a shipping company of his choosing and that the price was fine he gave me a credit card that had his name to it and it went through the first time so I thought that this was a real deal came to find out that he was not so after the funds cleared in the bank I was to wire the 4000 to the shipping company and that the shipping company was to come pick up in 48 hrs well.... just before the shipment was to be picked up he re e-mailed me and told me that he wanted 3 more systems (flag 1) and that he wanted to have all 5 pieces of equipment picked up at the same time to save on shipping well there is another (Flag 2) Then I gave him the second price for all and it was approx 19,000.00 10 of which was shipping so he gave me numerous credit cards to try (Flag 3) Now I had backed out of the deal but the first transaction had gone through and I wired the money to the shipping company ACON Shipping (which Is a legit company) and seeing that I paid for the Equipment I reimbursed myself with the purchase of those funds and the remainder was expensed by my company so those funds are not any longer in my possession and now the credit card company wants me to pay for this That is not going to happen -I am Truly sorry to this persons credit card but, They should have fraud protection.

I also received an email from firstname.lastname@example.com trying to buy an Iphone, I`m wondering how is that she wants my phone if she can buy it in USA from much less money ( she wants to deposit money to my account) Since the beginning It was very weird I will not sell her anything on this same blog someone already reported that email address

PACIFIC OCEAN FREIGHT Here's another version they are trying - They want shipping to Trinidad, and the freight companies web address is "pacific-ocean.com" I think they are pretending to be a real company called Pacific Freight. They first called us from a private number to confirm that it was a real order, then emailed with all the details including their "quote" from the shipping company. They want to pay us by credit card, then they want us to pay the freight company for the shipping cost. What happens is that the credit card details are stolen. The fake freight company gets to keep the shipping cost amount, which is a decent sized amount on its own. We can never recover this amount we would have paid. And the amount we received by credit card payment is claimed back from credit card company. Hopefully this helps someone else, everyone else's info and experience helped our company.

ANYONE KNOW ABOUT Juan Enriquez Ventures. Address: 109 Rue Pierre Stibbe Anosy Antananarivo 101 Madagascar and (KANGO FREIGHT SYSTEMS)
November 19, 2014 - 4:53am
We were almost taken by these scammers today! Luckily, I was a little wary of the email address and the phone number which I called to see how I was to pay for the delivery. I got a foreign lady saying leave a message and they would call back. Eventually, I got a live person (foreign)who would not tell me who he was or what company I was calling. I hung up and called our credit card company as the "customer" had done all business with our sales person over the phone and by email. They charged the shipping and materials upfront and according to our credit card company they would have disputed the charges to get their money back and we would have been out about $5,000. The "customer" provided a shipping address in Norway and gave us the shipping company that he wanted to use. I checked them out and there is no company - website is under construction... We were contacted by a Bob Brown (firstname.lastname@example.com) and were asked to use a Delta Shipping. The email address was what initially alerted me to an issue: email@example.com the Delta Shipping rep was John Wilson, so when I googled his name and the shipping company this site popped up as someone else had dealt with him in the past. Don't use them and they are a sham! Thanks for all of the posts as I would have had a hard time convincing staff that their sale was bogus without this information. We are lucky that we are just out the cost of materials that we can resell!

Howdy! I could have sworn I've been to this website before but after reading through some of the post I realized it's new to me. Anyways, I'm definitely happy I found it and I'll be book-marking and checking back often! seahawks jersey for baby

SALDF Asks For Your Help!Posted March 9th, 2009 by Anonymous
SALDF asks you to make a donation to help neglected animals. Clean Slate Animal Rescue, a private "shelter" in Adair County, was recently closed and its owner charged with 295 counts of animal cruelty. More than 300 animals were seized, including dogs, cats, chickens, goats, pigs, donkeys and a horse. The animals housed at the facility were extremely neglected and suffered from malnourishment, respiratory problems, mange, skin infections, parasites and various other illnesses. Unfortunately, several animals were dead by the time officials reached them, and dozens more could not be helped and were euthanized. The Humane Society of the United States has transported many of these animals to the Bowling Green-Warren County Humane Society Shelter for treatment before being dispersed to shelters across the state for adoption. This massive rescue effort is in need of help. SALDF will be taking donations to help the shelters housing and treating these neglected animals. Donation bins will be in the Law School lobby all week for donated goods, and a table will be set up from 12 - 2 p.m on Tuesday, March 10th and Thursday, March 12th to collect cash donations. A list of items needed is included below. Thanks for all your help!
Items Needed: blankets,old towels, pet shampoo, paper towels, bleach, cedar shavings, and gloves.

GWE Dynamite! 02-28-2008 Preview
Road To The Gold!
For the fifth straight week, GWE Dynamite comes to you on the ESPN Network! And this week, the GWE superstars roll into Minot, North Dakota, to grant the fans 60 minutes of nothing but action and entertainment!
This week, the Road to the Gold tournament stands central, as we have no less than 3 matches on the card. In the three remaining quarter finals, we will see Rey Mysterio take on Super Crazy, Carlito Colon doing battle with Matt Sydal and Paul Wight taking on Ken Doane. This last match is a rematch of two weeks ago and one can only wonder if Ken Doane will be able to be a little more than a punching bag for Wight tis time.
Meanwhile, Carlito still has his eyes set on Rey Mysterio. Carlito wants to end Mysterio's career, but will he throw his chances for a GWE Global Title shot through the window by going after Mysterio in stead of focusing on his match with Sydal? And will Mysterio be fully focussed on Super Crazy or will he have his mind on Carlito, who tried to surprise Mysterio last week in his locker room?
Also, what will the Bashams have to say about The Invaders trying to upset the Basham Brothers for two weeks in a row? The Basham Brothers will adress The Invaders this Thursday on Dynamite! and their won't be any kind words towards Kash and Gibson!
And of course, this week, the grand and official presentation of Mister Eric Bischoff into the Global Wrestling Enterprise company! Hulk Hogan will be welcoming Bischoff to Dynamite as the new co-owner of GWE. Will Bischoff make an immediate impact and will he live up to the title of his book 'controversy creates cash'?
Find out all this and many many more, this Thursday, only on the ESPN Network
There you have it. I only have to write one promo and the show is ready to be posted.

Back to Breitbart TV
The number of irregularities is "more than the margin of victory" according to Boyle. He also said that "under half" of Mississippi's counties were not cooperating with McDaniel's investigation "at the behest of the Republican Party in Mississippi."
Boyle added that the state's party would probably rule against any challenges made by McDaniel, and the election would ultimately be resolved in the Mississippi court system, and that federal judges in Mississippi have recused themselves from True the Vote's challenge, meaning the case would likely be handled by federal courts in New Orleans.

EU-Canada airline passenger data-sharing is not a done deal
The voice of reason
It's nice to see someone try to restrain the rush to implement a global police state. Certainly the Harper government here in Canada used the sad incident of violence by a single mentally-disturbed individual as an excuse to press its agenda of increased secret surveillance.
Trips to Mars may be OFF: The SUN has changed in a way we've NEVER SEEN
Not the best wording
"a 3 per cent risk of an astronaut dying due to radiation exposure during a mission is seen as the acceptable limit"
Perhaps "a 3 per cent risk of an astronaut eventually dying due to radiation exposure received during a mission is seen as the acceptable limit" might be better.
Yahoo! dumps! thing! that! made! it! Yahoo! and! told! to! bed! AOL!
Yahoo does have value
I've used Yahoo's email, calendar, contacts, and groups for many years, both at home and at work, and I've always been pretty happy to have all that functionality for free. Yes, Google and Microsoft have improved their offerings in recent years, and like everyone else I'm forced to use Google for some things, but I stick with Yahoo as my go-to choice. If they started charging a fee for business services, I would pay it. I just wish they would quit fiddling with the interface design. They keep breaking things while they are re-arranging them to no apparent purpose.
SanDisk Extreme Pro SSD – courting speed freaks and gamers
But can you rely on SanDisk's support
I have a SanDisk SSD on the system I'm using, which I bought because of the great performance specs. Only to find a few months later that performance was deteriorating rapidly because of a firmware bug in the Sandforce controller. It turned out that every SSD manufacturer was aware of this bug and had agreed not to mention while awaiting a fix from Sandforce. When the bug was reported publicly, every SSD manufacturer other than SanDisk acknowledged the problem, apologized to customers, and released the fix as promptly as possible. SanDisk stonewalled customers, refusing to respond. Eventually they caved in and release a bug fix for their product, months after all the other manufacturers. I suspect that they would have quietly let it slide if the issue hadn't become public. Draw your own conclusions, but I'm avoiding SanDisk products in future.
iPhone 6: Advanced features? Pah! Nexus 4 had most of them in 2012
Now if only Google could make Android work right!
I have both iOS and Android devices, and it's pretty clear that iOS is still the champ when it comes to usability and reliability. My latest phone uses Android 4.4.4, and I often have the urge to bash it against the wall until there's nothing left buy tiny bits! Not the phone's fault, it's all Android and Google to blame. It's much less reliable than my oldest tablet that uses Android 4.1.2,
What could possibly go wrong? Banks could provide ID assurance for Gov.UK – report
Re: Meh
Canada too. When I want to access many types of government business or personal service sites, I have a choice of signing in with my banking ID from certain approved private bank partners, or applying for a separate government web ID that takes several steps and several months to obtain (and no, it's not universal, various other government services require dozens of other unique IDs). I use the bank partner ID, but I'm not happy about it. The government leaks private information like a sieve if the history of the last few years is any indication.
Banking apps: Handy, can grab all your money... and RIDDLED with coding flaws
Not surprising
I don't think anyone is surprised by this. You could choose any random group of software applications and find the same thing. We could hope that mobile banking apps would be better tested than most, but I think we all suspect that they aren't.
From my own perspective of decades of experience as a software developer, product manager, and software business owner, I know it's really about the money, but I'd also like to point the finger of blame at two technical issues:
1. The C language and its derivatives. Biggest mistake in the history of computers. Every time you hear about a buffer overflow error in software, realize that it's due to a fundamental design flaw in the C language that leads to the same error repeated over and over. If civil engineers had used building techniques as flawed as the C language, our civilization would lie in ruins today.
2. The preferred modern software development method of "code and test incrementally until it doesn't crash any more". Naturally produces poorly tested software riddled with bugs. Reminds me of the early history of constructing railroad bridges: no need for detailed analysis, if it falls down we'll double the strength and try again.
Americans to be guinea pigs in vast chip-and-PIN security experiment
Americans are so funny
Yes, by all means let's have a vast chip-and-PIN experiment. Except that the rest of the world has been on chip-and-PIN for years. Next you'll be telling us about a radical experiment with a brand-new system of decimal measurements!
In any case, it's not so much about security as it is about liability. Concurrent with the switch to a chip-and-PIN card, you will get a nice little change of service agreement from your bank with lots of fine print which basically says that you are deemed 100% liable for any card transactions which they claim have used your PIN.
No more of those messy fraud investigations, the customer is responsible! Never mind those pesky cases where the customer claims that he was half a world away and has never shared his PIN with anyone. Never mind those cases where the it turns out that the bank lied when they claimed that the PIN was used. Minor incidents, nothing to get in the way of a great innovation in liabilityxxxxx I mean of course security.
NSA man: 'Tell me about your Turkish connections'

Presto! After Supreme Court loss, Aereo says it's a cable company now
The broadcast network lawyers are astonished that Aereo would offer a defence that appears to contradict their initial contention that they aren't a cable company? What law school did they attend where they didn't learn about "argument in the alternative"? Even I've seen that routine legal strategy in small claims court, as in "it wasn't me driving that car that hit you, but if it was, then it wasn't my fault".
Google kills its successful social network. Yes, we mean Orkut
Re: Well, that's annoying
I turned one of my Gmail accounts into a Google+ account, and I see that Google actually is smart enough to tell you which of your Orkut friends already have Google+ accounts, and it lets you link up automatically.
I had a moment's pause though when the Google+ setup asked me to agree that "I understand the changes that this will make to my Picasa Web Albums". Those changes turn out to be that your web photo albums that you shared with specific friends will now be shared with everyone on Google+ unless you restrict them.
Well, that's annoying
I have many friends in Brazil who I have stayed in touch with over the years using Orkut. Now I'll have to track them all down individually and get linked up to them on another service before September. I can see why Google can't simply transfer these links automatically - few people are going to have a Google+ account, and Google wouldn't have permission to set up Facebook links. But if they were smarter they could have provided some sort of automatic global notification, e.g., send out a message to all contacts saying "Your friend X is now on Google+, click here if you want to link up on Google+ [Create account]".
Redmond reinstates infosec mailing list after Canadian law panic
Another dumb idea
Another dumb idea brought to you by politicians who want to appear to be doing something.
Predictably it hasn't had any effect on spam, since almost all of the sources are outside of Canada have never heard of this legislation, and wouldn't care if they did. As noted in the article, most small businesses in Canada were unaware of it until recently, and have no idea how it would affect them.
The reason why everyone is aware of it now is that our mailboxes have been flooded with requests from legitimate businesses to confirm that we still want to receive important emails from them. In view of the confusing wording of the law, they all felt it was best to confirm compliance. As a result businesses across the country are spending millions of dollars going through a compliance process or just responding to all these requests. Another own goal by our politicians!
New MH370 search zone picked using just seven satellite 'handshakes'
Satellite data is all they have to go on
There was some doubt about the satellite data early on because Inmarsat wasn't releasing any details, and the aircraft flight path that it indicated was so unlikely that it was hard to believe without any corroborating information or any good theory of how it could have happened.
There is still no corroborating information, and still no good theory about what happened, but enough experts have gone over the satellite data in detail now to confirm that the flight path is almost certain to be approximately correct. It's not impossible to find other flight paths that could produce the same readings, but they are very unlikely. The problem is that there are enough unresolvable uncertainties in the calculation that the area of ocean to be covered is still huge.
We'll probably never know what happened until the wreckage is found - and even then it might still be difficult. Shattered debris from a high-speed crash into the ocean, scoured by currents for months or years, black boxes that would have recycled every 2 hours during the flight even if they can be found - they might not tell enough of the story. Unfortunately the best chance to figure out what went wrong would be if there's a similar initial incident on another 777.
Re: Ughh... bad news
He means floating debris. It took a long time to locate the actual wreckage of the Air France plane on the bottom of the Atlantic, but they found floating debris to confirm the crash area within days.

Filing a protest and making Twitter comments is not done lightly, it's part of a carefully evaluated corporate strategy. Almost all major procurement contracts are ultimately decided by uncompetitive backroom deals that are years in the making, and a whole lot of people get paid off with favours to make it happen. It's understood that everybody eventually gets their turn at the next contract if not this one, as long as they avoid messy public protests. But once in a while things go a little too far, and it's time to make a big, messy protest. There is zero chance that the protest will be successful, and it's understood that the protesting company will be punished for it. But it's intended to give notice that the government side needs to rein things in and play fair in the future, or else their normally-tame bidder will blow them all up. For established companies it has to be done about once every 10 years, or they'll think the company is a pushover that can safely be ignored when they're doling out the procurements. For a new player like Space-X, they have to be more aggressive to muscle their way to the table.
Inmarsat: Doppler effect helped 'locate' MH370
Re: Truly astonishing amount of information stored
It looks like those first 3 data points after 2am local time are from a single ping message where the velocity changed rapidly throughout the ping, giving them 3 separate readings. They think it's because the aircraft was turning. How long does a ping take?
If that's the case, the Malaysians are correct in saying that there were 6 pings, and everyone has been wrong in assuming the pings were hourly. The interval appears to be slightly longer on average and slightly random.
I don't see how that would work. Knowing the satellite wobble can only tell you about the motion of the satellite, not the motion of the aircraft.
Perhaps it's more to do with the fact that if the aircraft flies to the south it crosses over the equator, so initially it is pointing slightly more toward the satellite as it approaches the equator and then slightly more away after it crosses the equator. Whereas on the northern route it starts out north of the equator and continues north.
But looking at the geometry here, two things stand out:
There are several key assumptions required about what the aircraft actually did in order to correlate this analysis with a real world path. One can imagine other alternative aircraft paths that could fit the data equally well if it didn't actually fly north or south.
There are few data points, and the random motion of the aircraft in the air has got to be almost on par with the small velocity differences that InMarSat is trying to read. Where are the error bars on this chart? Where is the statistical analysis of likely this fit is?
Re: Truly astonishing amount of information stored
Finally, some real information in the link from the article! Too bad it's still a pretty long chain from InMarSat through 2 other agencies to a Facebook page. I assume the Annex referred to is just the 3 diagrams?
But the chart raises several questions:
Why does the Malaysian release say that 6 pings were received after the aircraft disappeared, while the chart shows 7 (not counting the final partial ping)?
Why does the chart show measured data points that are clearly not hourly when all sources until now have said that the pings were on a regular hourly schedule at 11 minutes after the hour?
Reg tries out Google's Chromecast: Yep, we even tested smut sites
Tab-casting versus handover
When you tab-cast anything from your Chrome browser, your PC is indeed doing the heavy lifting. It has to transcode the incoming video stream to a compatible format and re-transmit it to the Chromecast. The Google Cast extension in Chrome that does this is not very efficient, and the video stutters, quite badly on slower computers. The WiFi connection doesn't really enter into it.
When you cast from the BBC iPlayer app on Android, it instead hands over streaming to the Chromecast itself. You can shut down your Android device entirely if you wish after starting playback on the Chromecast. In this mode you will find that the BBC iPlayer video streams smoothly.
Planes fail to find 'credible' candidate for flight MH370 wreckage
There are a lot of limitations to satellite surveillance that you wouldn't necessarily be aware of. The satellites follow a polar orbit that only brings them over a given point on the earth's surface every few days typically. There aren't ground stations everywhere to receive a real-time downlink, recorders are limited and unreliable, and orbital relay systems not available in most cases. There's a hard bandwidth limit that means you can have detail or broad coverage, but not both. There's a limited power budget which means the satellite may not be able to transmit all the time. That's especially true for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites, and the Australian images are clearly SAR (probably Radarsat). Considerable post-processing is required for SAR, so you aren't going to get images right away - hence the delay of days on the Australian images.
Re: BUT...
The ACARS on MH370 only transmitted data every 30 minutes. Somebody misunderstood that initially and started the whole "suspiciously disabled before the last radio transmission" theory. Malaysian authorities later realized the mistake and retracted the whole thing, but the damage was done. It lingers in people's minds that there was something suspicious about how the onboard systems were turned off that confirms it was an intentional disappearance.
MH370 airliner MYSTERY: The El Reg Pub/Dinner-party Guide
Re: The simplest explanation and confirmation bias
To be clear, the article we are writing is about the psychology of the investigation rather than the technical details, so we aren't attempting to decide which is the correct explanation based on the limited and often inaccurate information that has been published so far. However we obviously need to understand the technical evidence in order to understand how it has influenced the investigation.
I discount the military radar data because I am familiar with such radar data and I have a good idea what it does or doesn't show. For those who aren't personally familiar, I suggest you read the accounts of the incident where the U.S.S. Vincennes shot down an Iranian airliner by mistake. Although equipped with a very advanced AEGIS phased array radar system, they identified the Airbus airliner as an F14 fighter and thought it was descending toward the ship when it was actually climbing to cruising altitude. It was only 9 miles away when they decided to fire missiles at it. Does that tell you enough about the ability of military radars to identify unknown targets under ideal conditions of close range and no terrain clutter?
I have no doubt that the InMarSat engineers are very competent and are working diligently to clarify and verify their data. I also note that InMarSat has said nothing much officially since their initial hasty comments to the press. Why would I doubt their abilities? Here's a couple of things to think about:
1. I doubt that InMarSat's satellite ping data is identified as "Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370". It probably has a transmitter number assigned to Malaysian Airlines, and they are relying on Malaysian Airlines to give them the correct number from their records. Of course the aircraft itself is no longer available to verify that they have the right number...
2. Do you remember when NASA's Mars Climate Orbiter crashed into Mars and was lost because an engineer confused metric and imperial units? Engineers make mistakes, even basic dumb mistakes. Maybe like not converting time zones correctly when analyzing data in a way they have never been asked to do before?
I'm not saying that it's definitely a mistake. Just that we don't know until it's verified very carefully, and it's a lot to hang a very expensive investigation on. You would want to be really, really sure.
The simplest explanation and confirmation bias
The simplest explanation is that MH370 crashed into the sea near where it disappeared, and the rest of the shaky evidence and wild speculation is simply wrong (as much of it has already proven to be).
I'm working on an article to that effect with an associate who specializes in the psychology of investigators and the ways that investigations can go wrong (we don't expect the missing flight to be found before the article is published). This case is a classic, with all the signs. My associate doesn't know how to evaluate the technical details in the reporting, so I'm helping out as an engineer who knows a lot about air traffic control systems and satellite systems. While there is certainly some technical evidence of a flight diversion, I have to say that it has been very poorly reported, and I consider it at least as questionable as other evidence that has already proven false.
Most people don't seem to understand the need to evaluate individual bits of evidence independently in the early stages of an investigation to avoid "confirmation bias". One bit of questionable evidence leads to a theory, and suddenly everyone is trying to confirm that theory, adding more questionable evidence that isn't independent while ignoring other evidence that doesn't fit the theory.
There is certainly some evidence that the flight was diverted, and I wouldn't rule out that it might well prove to have been in the end. But extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and so far there are only two bits of evidence that amount to anything in my view:
1. The wreckage hasn't been found in the area of disappearance. In every previous case of an airliner crashing at sea, floating debris and bodies were found within days. There are possible explanations, but I still think it's a key point.
2. The supposed InMarSat data. The problem with this is that the news reports are extremely vague and often inaccurate. It may consist of a single data point, and having never looked for such data before, InMarSat officials probably have no idea how accurate or error-prone it may be. Any number of possible errors could render it meaningless, such as a mis-identification of the transmitter number, incorrect conversion of the time stamp, or incomplete data stuck in a buffer being flushed out hours later.
The military radar data is nonsense.
It's not much on which to base a lengthy and extremely expensive search effort when common sense suggests that the original search area is more likely to be correct. Since it's no longer an emergency, the investigators should sit back, clear their heads, and go over the evidence again with fresh eyes and more in-depth analysis.

Report: Prez Obama kicks Healthcare.gov contractor to curb for web disaster
Looks to me like CGI Federal did a great job
CGI Federal have fulfilled their most important purpose - to take the blame for the screwup, leaving the government managers ultimately in charge of delivering healthcare.gov to hide in the shadows. I bet they all moved on to other posts up the chain before it hit the fan, and their replacements are able to say it's not their fault.
A startup could've made a better Obamacare site, says CloudFlare boss
Who's in charge?
I've been involved in a number of these government-driven projects in my career, and the problem is usually a few wannabee system designers on the government side who produce unrealistic specifications and want the contractors to comply with them. The contractors are happy to do so if their price is met, even when they know that the government spec is unrealistic. Example: the UK side of the North Atlantic air traffic control system that fell over on its first day of operation because there were too many aircraft. The contractor pointed to the capacity spec they were given and the fact that it was exceeded, making them technically blameless. How could a huge development and implementation team not know how many aircraft to expect? They did of course, but the government side set the spec many years earlier, failing to allow for growth, and the contractor saw their job as delivering to that spec.
Your kids' chances of becoming programmers? ZERO
Different style today
I learned to program in the olden days too (I hate to tell you how old!), and I like to delude myself that I can still bash out a decent program in any modern language faster than the development team of "kids" I have working for me these days. :)
The biggest change I've seen over the years is that developers today are totally dependent on interactive debugging to hack out a program by trial and error. They code and test incrementally until it does what it has to and doesn't crash any more, then they call it done and submit it for product integration. Of course their code then proceeds to fall over every time it's presented with a new variation in user input or sequence of events that they didn't test. I see this effect everywhere in the software that we all use every day, which I'm sure is being developed by the same method.
Flying in the US? Remember to leave your hand grenades at home
My vote for most inept profession goes to the TSA screeners
My company now allocates 10% equipment loss/breakage per trip due to inept (and sometimes larcenous) inspection and repacking by TSA baggage screeners. The sad thing is that they keep wasting everyone's time and money checking and re-checking the same bags, same equipment, same travelers that they should already know are reliable. Just how long is this going to go on before U.S. taxpayers smarten up and start allocating their security dollars more wisely?
Four ways the Guardian could have protected Snowden – by THE NSA
What the spooks are actually after
I think we're missing the point on what information the spooks are actually after. The favourite tool of police and military intelligence agencies around the world is i2 Analyst Notebook (look it up). It's designed to track associations between people, events, and other things, and to show them in a nice graphical presentation. To some extent the tool drives the intelligence gathering. What it wants is the associations: the contact lists, the meta-data of who contacted who, who was at a common place/event etc.. They don't care so much about the why - they can make up that part for themselves.
Brazilians tear strip off NSA in wake of Snowden, mull anti-US-spook law
Lacks IT skills? Too hot?
What idiotic comments by Beer. Few countries have the plentiful IT skills that Brazil has, and does he not realize that the country extends into the temperate south where it snows in the winter?
Re: Doesn't Matter
I agree completely with that policy by Brazil. It's the only was to establish international respect. When Canada began requiring pre-arranged visas for visitors from Brazil, Brazil was quick to require the same for visiting Canadians. When Canada raised the price of a visa, so did Brazil. I am able to avoid the cost by using my British passport to enter Brazil, but that means I'm embarrassed whenever I arrive there shortly after some new outrage perpetrated by the British government against Brazil, such as killing an innocent Brazilian on the tube platform because he was wearing a backpack and jacket, or illegally detaining a Brazilian journalist.
The future of cinema and TV: It's game over for the hi-res hype
Early hardware issues
Good article, and it's time some more thought was put into future video standards.
Historically there were some hardware issues behind those early decisions on interlacing and the power-line-frequency frame rate in addition to the ones mentioned. The key point about interlacing is that it reduces the bandwidth required by half, which was a significant factor in designing the early TV electronics and creating the broadcast channels. It was still a factor in the more recent switch to digital channels.
As for the decision to use the powerline frequency, it's true that one reason was to prevent visible strobing, but the other was that it was just easy and cheap to use the powerline frequency as a reference because it's so reliable and tightly controlled. Accurate crystal oscillators weren't always so cheap as they are today.
Windows NT grandaddy OpenVMS taken out back, single gunshot heard
Thanks for the history
There were a few bits in there that I didn't know.
I still think RSX11M was the best of the many operating systems I've developed software for in my life. The latest versions of Windows and Linux could learn a few lessons.
I used VAX/VMS as well, but the added layers of complexity made it less elegant an fun than RSX. Still, it was a viable alternative technology in the operating system world that's in danger of turning into a monoculture. I still remember the day that the DEC sales team came in to pitch their new corporate-mandated Unix message. Having spent years telling everyone that VMS left Unix in the dust, they seemed lost and confused. DEC never recovered from that.

Spamhaus is famous for their high-handed and arrogant attitude in blocking whole IP address ranges for the most trivial of reasons. If this DDoS attack exposes how many cheapskate hosting services rely blindly on their spam-and-a-lot-of-other-legitmate-traffic filtering services, then it has actually done the internet a service.
LG acquires webOS from HP – but not for mobile kit
Great, maybe we'll finally get a Netflix app for TouchPad
I've had a TouchPad with WebOS for about 18 months, and I quite like it. I use it mainly for simple purposes like portable web browsing, reading pdfs, checking email, checking my calendar, Skype video calls, listening to music on Pandora, occasionally watching video. For those purposes, it works fine. I also have an iPod Touch, and I find WebOS a bit more convenient to use than iOS. But honestly I don't think WebOS will make any difference at all as a TV operating system. It's advantages are all about touch operation and multi-tasking on a phone or tablet. Behind the GUI it's just another form of Linux, which is what all the TV operating systems are. I'm not sure what advantage LG would see in building their custom TV GUI on top of WebOS instead of Linux.

Tablets aren't killing ereaders, it's clog-popping wrinklies - analyst
Did they actually talk to any users?
E-readers have improved every year in recent memory. I've bought a new one every year for the last 4 years in a row, most recently for the new glow screen. When I look around on the train, there's far more people with e-readers than with tablets, because they all understand that it's hard to hold a heavy tablet and read on the train where the ambient light level is too high. Tablets are e-readers are different devices for different market. E-readers naturally have a more adult demographic because the first thing a kid wants is a nice colourful tablet like all their friends. Only later in life can they afford to by more specialized gadgets for different purposes.

Amazon unzips its digital-only Brazilian, waves Kindles at Canada
Kindles already widely available in Canada
I'm not sure why this is fresh news. Kindles have been sold in the ubiquitous Staples office supply store chain in Canada for a couple of years, and Amazon.com ships Kindles to Canada as well. Amazon.ca has been operating a Canadian e-book store for even longer. Perhaps they're just announcing that from now on Kindles will be ordered through and shipped from the .ca site instead of the .com site? (Amazon supports the Kindle whispernet cellular network option in Canada in case you were wondering.)
However, Kobo remains much more popular in Canada than Kindle because their e-readers are offered in many more stores at more competitive prices, and national bookseller Chapters.ca partners with Kobo to offer an e-book store with better selection and often better prices than Amazon.
Adobe demands 7,000 years a day from humankind
My personal favourite is the Apple App Store
Almost every time I want to update an app on my iPod Touch, or download a new free app from some 3rd party, Apple pops up a box saying that their Terms & Conditions have changed, and I am required to read and confirm my understanding of a 43-page agreement (yes, 43 pages!) before I can proceed. No clue is offered as to what has changed. Of course I click "I Agree" and proceed with my download, assuming that one of my regular web news feeds will warn me if Apple has done anything too draconian.
My own company sells software and has a EULA. It's 3 paragraphs long, and it basically spells out the terms of licencing in a few brief sentences, states that it's up to you to know what you're doing with the software, and disclaims any responsibility for failure to meet your needs or consequential damages. We do follow legal cases on the enforceability of EULAs, and in some cases judges have decided that if the EULA is too long and cryptic, it is not enforceable. In other cases they have stated that if only a link is given, and not the actual text of the EULA, it is not enforceable. But there is no consistency.
This is hardly the only area in which one must agree to ludicrously extensive legal terms and conditions without reading them. As a small company which bids on government contracts in several countries, we are frequently required to agree to bid and acquisition regulations which run to millions of pages in thousands of separate places, all cross-referencing each other, stating thing such as the minimum size of our bathrooms for disabled women of visible minority race. It all seemed like a good idea to somebody at some time. But today it's beyond impossible to be aware of even a fraction of it, even if you were limiting yourself to contracting in one country. All one can do is keep in touch with your business community and be aware of any issues which have been a problem for others.
Annual reviews: It's high time we rid the world of this insanity

Avira 'fesses up: Our software isn't compatible with Windows 8
Re: Step One: Avira Admits it has a problem
Agree. It's easy to criticize Avira for not being ready for a change that's had a long preview cycle, especially when their software just crashes instead of warning of the incompatibility. But those who don't have the joy of managing software development projects may not appreciate that it's often slightly more difficult than waving one's magic wand. At least they straightforwardly acknowledged the problem, didn't make any excuses, and gave a time frame for fixing it. Would that all software companies did the same!

Panasonic gets second chance with £4.7 BEEELION bailout

Boffins build program to HUNT DOWN CO2 polluters where they LIVE
Our city and surrounding region has a mandatory vehicle pollution testing program called AirCare. It's a costly program for motorists, and it has largely outlived its usefulness since the "testing" today consists of connecting to the OBD-II data port on the vehicle to make sure that the Check Engine indicator isn't on. At the time this program was originally launched, an alternative proposal was made to use roadside CO2 monitors which would detect polluting vehicles as they pass using an infrared laser beam, and then take a photo of their licence plate just like a speed radar. This latter proposal was much less costly and more effective at targeting polluting vehicles, but needless to say, the government adopted the universal testing program instead.
