WIRED: LifeLock’s Fraud Alert Service Illegal - Judge Rules

What a blow to Internet security...a judge has ruled that only the 3 major credit agencies can put a "fraud alert" on your credit reports.  Surely this will be appealed. But for now...many consumer advocates are scratching their heads!

Not Enough Time to Pray? Information Age Prayer Web Site Will Pray For You! For A Fee!

Web 2.0 has spawned a new text to speech web service for those who know the power of prayer, but don't have a few seconds to ask God for blessings. For a service fee, depending on the length of the prayer...  the Information Age Prayer will take the prayers you input and pray for you. Though I couldn't find the price of the prayer, they do have a subscription service thru paypal and you do have a choice of  Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, Muslim or unaffiliated.

The facts are this: Cadillac will offer in-car Internet from Autonet Mobile. The cost of the factory installed unit will be $499 a month and the monthly subscription fee will be $29.99 a month. Autonet feels that families will be the first to use this new service.

The downside- is this is another nail in the coffin of Satellite Radio.

2 Sites- "Deathswitch" and "Slightly Morbid" Notify Online Friends Thru E-Mail When You Die!

It's kind of morbid, but if use any type of online social network, or online gaming, how will other members know that you have died. That is a dilemma.

Two sites have been created to handle such a service

1) Deathswitch- a site bills itself as "information insurance- Don't Die with Secrets" that allows you to set up emails with attachments sent to a predetermined email list. You have to check in periodically, and if you don't- the emails are automatically sent. (Can you imagine if you DON'T login?) A Free account gives you 1 email; a Subscription cost is $20 per year for 20 emails.. Imagine sending an email detailing crimes you committed, or feelings about others.  (It reminds me of the rapture email site I posted about last year)

Deathswitch

2) Slightly Morbid- sends out emails to a predetermined list, but you don't have to check in. Give your password and other information to a trusted friend, and they can trigger the site to send the missives.

Slightly Morbid

and many of you are unaware that I have a site deathknock that includes death-related posts from NN247.
