SERVICE: JIBBERJOBBER as a Ventine’s Day gift? Sure!!!

Friday, February 6, 2009

Now this may sound dumb or unromantic but in these tough economic times, how about something that can help their significant other keep their earning power — Jibber Jobber. http://www.jibberjobber.com

(Disclaimer: I have no financial interest in Jibber Jobber. I’m not even an active user. I did alpha testing for Jason Alba the owner developer. But, I do help a lot of out of work folks who have no clue about networking. An, think this would be a very valuable gift.)

Assuming that the relationship is heading towards marriage or whatever today’s equivalent is, a gift subscription might make real sense. The couple could even cuddle up in front of a warm computer screen as the couple works to get all the significant others contacts into the Jibber Jobber database.

If both are yuppies, it could be a mutual gift and each could help motivate the other’s data collection and networking activities.

It may sound goofy, but it’s an off-beat cheap gift that can pay big dividends by next Valentine’s Day. Other than working on each other’s income taxes, I can’t think of a better couple building activity. After the flowers, chocolate, expensive dinner, and jewelry are long forgotten, JibberJobber will be paying big dividends.

Yeah, I know, I’m a real romantic. But romance ain’t going to keep the paychecks rolling in. Networking, assisted by the focus that JibberJobber gives, will pay off handsomely.

And, I bet you won’t see that suggestion in any other Valentine’s Day story!

RANT: Tax revolt?

Bill Buran’s Notes

Complete hypocrisy by the Democrates on Taxes
Yesterday at 8:03pm

*** begin quote ***

Now I am against all form of income taxes and certainly try to limit my exposure, but I still unwillingly pay…more and more each year.

Yet…when a Democrat going for higher office knowingly does not pay taxes while insisting we all need to pay more to “spread the wealth”…I guess just not his wealth.

This angers me more each day and gives more reason to vote them all out…to be fair this goes for all in Congress and the Senate.

If a Democrat evades paying taxes that must paint a bigger picture of this insane overburden tax system.

So when do we all just say NO and stop giving our fruits of labor (private property) to a dysfunctional government.

Tax Revolt anyone????…..seriously!

*** end quote ***

MY RESPONSE:

It’s actually worse than anyone thinks. Inflation is the hidden tax on all of us. Taxes, via corporations, are hidden in all we buy. Some taxes, like gas, and “fees”, like real estate closing taxes or car excise taxes, are added onto the purchase prices and become invisible to the buyer. And, the only indicator of the total tax load is the total gooferment spend. See tax reduction without spending reduction is an illusion. Inflation, debt, regulation, and “fees” are the “evil stepsisters” of the taxes we pay. We can’t even fathom how much we pay in taxes. It’s theft by deception!

SERVICE: CNN LIVE VIDEO steals your bandwidth silently

Watch a live video, share your PC with CNN
By Brian Livingston

*** begin quote ***

Many people who watched live streaming video of the inauguration of U.S. President Barack Obama on Jan. 20 may not realize that their PC was used to send the video to other PCs, too.

*** end quote ***

Watch the CNN Live Video, and you too may get booted by your ISP.

This is worth a five minute read about the “dirty pool” being played on users and ISPs. (I’m no fan of ISPs, but in this case they are being taken advantage of as well.)

Argh!
