email


A Michigan father faces up to five years in prison for snooping in his then-wife's e-mailaccount in the first known domestic case for unauthorized e-mail login.
Leon Walker, 33, a computer technician from Rochester Hills, Michigan, easily logged into his then-wife's Gmail account last year when he suspected she was having an affair with her second husband (she was). The two shared a laptop at home and, according to Walker, his wife kept her passwords in anotebook next to the computer, AP reports.
According to the Detroit Free Press, Leon Walker was Clara Walker's third husband. When he discovered she was having an affair with her second husband, a man arrested for beating her up in front of her son with her first husband, Leon Walker sent the e-mails to the child's father, who immediately claimed emergency custody.
Clara Walker, who divorced Leon Walker earlier this month, promptly filed felony charges for the e-mail "theft." Her complaint was approved by Michigan DA Jessica Cooper and the jury will decide Leon Walker's fate when he goes to trial in February.
"The guy is a hacker," Oakland prosecutor Jessica Cooper said in public statements. "It was password protected, he had wonderful skills, and was highly trained. Then he downloaded them and used them in a very contentious way."
Walker's defense attorney, Leon Weiss, fired back, "I have to ask: 'Don't the prosecutors have more important things to do with their time?'"
The statute Walker allegedly violated, 752.795, is the same one used to prosecute identify theft or stealing of trade secrets.
It reads in part:
A person shall not intentionally and without authorization or by exceeding valid authorization do any of the following:
(a) Access or cause access to be made to a computer program, computer, computer system, or computer network to acquire, alter, damage, delete, or destroy property or otherwise use the service of a computer program, computer, computer system, or computer network.

Found this, and well, kinda liked it a lot

People born in the Year of the Snake are deep. They say little and possess great wisdom. They never have to worry about money; they are financially fortunate. Snake people are often quite vain, selfish, and a bit stingy. Yet they have tremendous sympathy for others and try to help those less fortunate. Snake people tend to overdo, since they have doubts about other people's judgment and prefer to rely on themselves. They are determined in whatever they do and hate to fail. Although calm on the surface, they are intense and passionate. Snake people are usually good-looking and sometimes have marital problems because they are fickle. They are most compatible with the Ox and Rooster.

Google Chrome Print..

..Ok, so this isn't about Google Chrome Print.... but, I heard about it, and I like it, and then it got me thinking.

So on my phone, The Droid X, When I go into my photo gallery, which consists of pictures I have taken and downloaded. I select a picture, then hit the share button that pops up, which is where I go when I want to send it, upload it to the facebook ;-) and so forth and so on. There is a selection available that is "Print to Retail"... so out of curiosity, I tried it, clicked on it, and was prompted to select a photo retail location that was close to me. So i picked the CVS that was across the street from where I was, at school in Boston. Hit ok.... then got an email that my order has been recived, and then the next minute, received an email, saying my order was available for pickup, class had ended, I went to the CVS, asked for my photo, and there it was for $0.20..  amazing... amazing
