Internet Privacy is an Oxymoron.

The internet itself is a public stomping ground. So why are people surprised when they don’t get hired or even get fired for things they say or do on the internet.

Read this story about a Man fired, cause: Myspace message. When you get arrested everything you say CAN and WILL be used against you. The same applies to a job. If you do things on job time or outside that COULD affect your employer or their business, It WILL be used against you.

In Malaysia, government employees are now being watched. This is also legal in the US. 77 % of American companies monitor their employees email, according to PC Magazine. In fact, Forbes Magazine even sets standards for companies to follow to legally spy on their employees.

We here at ARC design use Google for our start pages. In addition to the desktop I use, I also have a laptop at hand.

On my laptop, I receive my email that isn’t necessarily work related, but nonetheless needs to be read. One thing I receive is ADage.com’s newsletter. It had a link to it that I wanted to message to my coworkers, but I did not want to have to open Aol IM just to send one URL, instead I pasted the URL to my Google Start Page’s Notepad and went back to my “work” computer and copy and pasted into my already open AOL IM.

Although not inventive, still a time saver and useful for when you get that Youtube video you just can’t watch at work.

As for the URL in question, it is an article on the Two-headed client. An interesting read for anyone in any business.
