[ECP] Educational CyberPlayGround NetHappenings Mailing List


Greetings,
Today (Nov. 26) is the last day that you can buy the $100 Laptop aka "give one get one" which actually costs $400.00 plus shipping. 
<http://blog.edu-cyberpg.com/2007/11/12/One+Laptop+Per+Child+Starts+Today+15+Days+Left+Give+One+Get+One+XO+Laptop.aspx>
"For a donation of $399, one XO laptop will be sent to empower a child in a developing nation and one will be sent to the child in your life in recognition of your contribution. $200 of your donation is tax-deductible (your $399 donation minus the fair market value of the XO laptop you will be receiving)." 

Anyway I bought one and will let you know how I like it.


happy reading for today,

<Karen>

There are plenty of luminaries buried there -- John ?Pilgrim?s Progress? Bunyan, William Blake, Daniel Defoe, and assorted Cromwells.

<http://blog.edu-cyberpg.com/2007/11/22/BIG+BROTHER+BIG+BUSINESS+And+Cell+Phone+Secrets.aspx>BIG BROTHER, BIG BUSINESS and Cell Phone Secrets Award-winning correspondent, David Faber examines the rapid advance of technology which allows companies to monitor our every move and record our most private personal information. Driving habits are being recorded; employees are monitored; shoppers and diners are observed and analyzed; internet searches are saved and used as evidence in court. It is big business that collects most of the data about us. But increasingly, it is the government that?s using it. The documentary takes viewers inside the FBI, the Border Patrol, police departments and schools to see how they are using biometric technologies to establish identity. There is also a rare look inside a little-known division of AOL that works solely with law enforcement requests for information about AOL?s members.Faber also examines some of the downsides of the new surveillance society: a man whose cell phone records were stolen by his former employer; a women who lost her job due to mistaken identity; a man who discovered his rental car company was tracking his every move.BIG BROTHER, BIG BUSINESS takes an enlightening and sometimes disturbing look at how the growth of the information society may be eroding the freedoms many people take for granted.

Protect your rights! "In recent weeks, the Federal Communications Commission, and FCC Chairman Kevin Martin, have made strong public statements about supporting the low power FM radio service, and the vital work that it does nationwide. As the commission works at its November 27th meeting to make decisions about the future of LPFM, they must lay the groundwork to ensure that LPFM will not only be available in rural areas in the future. They must also protect the low power stations from losing their frequencies to full power stations that encroach upon their signals. No matter what happens in Congress, LPFM will only be available in America's cities if the FCC acts to make room for it. threaten to knock them off the air. NetHappenings
