Americans are being asked for their Facebook passwords at job interviews

Posted on by

Being asked for your Facebook login and password at a job interview. Does this sound scary to you? It does to me that’s for sure, but nonetheless this was what happened to a guy from Seattle.

Justin Bassett from Seattle recently left a job interview in anger after being asked for his Facebook login information so the employer could check out his profile which was hidden from people who are not his friends. The employer had asked Justin the usual questions about experience, references and some character questions when she took out her laptop and found his profile on Facebook. Unfortunately for her Justin Bassett had been smart enough to hide all his personal information from strangers and only show it to people who are his friends on Facebook. The determined interviewer didn’t settle for this and so she turned the laptop around and asked Mr. Bassett for his login information so she could check out his profile.

Apple to announce plans for its $100 billion cash reserves today

Posted on by

Apple has money, a lot of money, a LOT of money. In fact they are getting up close to $100 billion as of it’s last earnings report. Apple issued a press release last night to announce that they will have a conference call with CEO Tim Cooks and CFO Peter Oppenheimer.

Speculations are flying all over the internet about what Apple will buy for the $100 billion. Will they acquire some of their competitors? Will they buy every single mobile phone manufacturer on the planet (they can!)? Will they build a huge memorial for Steve Jobs by their new Cupertino head office?

We will see in some hours when the press conference is over and Tim Cooks have spoken.

In the meantime what do you think?

Posted on by

Dear One,

I am Mr. Tim Cook, CEO of the Apple Inc. I followed Mr. Steven P. Jobs who also is CEO of Apple Inc. though dead now. Mr. Jobs worked with the Apple Inc. for over two decade before the cold hand of death took him away on the 5th of October 2011. He and I made a vow to uplift the down-trodden and the less-privileged individuals within the United States for America, Europe, China and South America, Africa and the rest of the globe as he had passion for poor persons with Googles Androids phones.

When my late CEO was alive he deposited the sum of $100 Billion (One Hundred Billion United States Dollars) with a bank here in the California. Presently, this money is still with the bank. Recently, Mr. Peter Oppenheimer, CFO of the Apple Inc. told me that we have a limited or numbered days on earth and that our life span will not exceed 150days due to the Maya calendar of 2012.

With this hard reality that has befallen Mr. Peter Oppenheimer, Mr. Phil Schiller nice all around guy of the Apple Inc., and me I have decided to donate this fund to a non-governmental,or a non religious, and or a non profit organization or better still an individual, that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein.I want a non governmental, or a non religious, and or a non profit,organization or better still an individual, that will use this gift which comes from Mr. Steven P. Jobs sweat to fund the upkeep of widows,widowers,orphans, destitute, the down-trodden, physically challenged children,barren-women and persons with Android phones.

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank here in the California. I will also issue you a Letter of Authority that will empower you as the original beneficiary of this fund. My happiness is that I lived a life worthy of emulation. Please always be prayerful all through your life. Any delay in your reply will give me room in souring for a non-governmental, or a non religious, and or a non profit organization or better still an individual for this same purpose.Please assure me that you will act just as I have stated herein. Hope to hear from you soon and God bless you and members of your family.

Mr. Tim Cook, CEO of the Apple Inc. (Benefactor)

Woman discovers her husband’s other wife via Facebook

Posted on by

A woman from Washington was using Facebook as any other day, but suddenly one day she got quite a surprise when looking at one of the “friend suggestions” that Facebook offers based on mutual friends, interests and other things. She was looking at a woman with whom she had something in common: the husband!

The woman’s identity has still not been made public, so we’ll call her Wife A. She was using Facebook when she saw a picture of the other woman, let’s call her Wife B, suggested by Facebook as a potential friend. When she clicked to see the profile of the suggested friend, with whom she had her husband as mutual friend, she was in for a surprise! She saw pictures from a wedding where the woman was standing next to the wedding cake – along with Wife A’s estranged husband! So Wife A did what any sane person would do: She called the mother-in-law.

New condoms with QR code let you check in before getting it on

Posted on by

The concept of “checking in” wherever you are has taken a whole new level recently, the Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest (PPGNW) has distributed more than 50,000 condoms with QR code stickers on the packaging, so you can scan it on your smartphone and check in on their website wheredidyouwearit.com to show the whole world (anonymously) where and when you used one of the distributed condoms. The concept is of course to spread awareness of practicing safe sex, and it seems to be working as this website is about to go viral on the web. The promotion was originally only scheduled to run Feb. 14 through Feb. 21 but the site has proven to be very popular so the PPGNW has kept it online.

PPGNW says the site “is like Foursquare for people who don’t want a sexually transmitted infection”. The site has already tallied up more than 4,500 “condom check-ins” and more than 65,000 visitors. PPGNW’s new media coordinator Nathan Engebretson told ABC News. Continue reading →
