  Nielsen - young people adapt to technology, old people wait for reruns         


Author: curmudgeon
Date: Dec 4, 2007 21:59

Younger adult viewers are 2.5 times more likely than older viewers to
be technologically proactive in catching up on TV shows they missed,
according to a study released Tuesday by Nielsen Co.

This is because young people are fools. For those of us with some
reasonable amount of life experience behind us (including decades of
internet use in some cases), television is just a diversion, not a
lifestyle. Missing a show is just not that big a deal.

You are what you watch *?*

"Mr.bush is at odds with the spirit of the past 8 years in another way. He
appears to be wholly uninterested in lying, has no gift for it, thinks it's
wrong."

"If we must go through a terrible time, a modest man of good faith is the
one we'll need in charge. That is George Herbert Walker Bush, governor of
Texas."

  Passport Canada sez web security fault fixed

Of course, this is a challenge to check it to see if it is REALLY
fixed. Apparently, if you applied for a Canadian passport on the web,
you could find out all sorts of interesting things about your peers
applying at the same time without much effort and they could find out
about you. So if you flew from the Great White North to Paris and you
also got billed for a week in Hawaii that you don't remember, perhaps
it WASN'T the result of too much vin très ordinaire à la rive gauche.

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's passport office has fixed a security flaw
in its Web site that allowed computer users to access the personal
data of passport applicants, officials said on Tuesday.

The Globe and Mail newspaper said an Ontario man had discovered last
week that by changing one character in the Internet address displayed
on his Web browser, he could view the application forms of others.

Foreign Minister Maxime Bernier said his officials had immediately
contacted the head of Passport Canada to make their concerns known.
