Here are some interesting items in the news, to help you with your ADD style of reading!
PAYPAL ACCESS
PayPal's new Access program is probably confusing everyone. Here is the gist: Instead of going to SJCHRH CRHGG's site and filling in all of your personal and financial information, you can go to a participating retailer and use your PayPal Login and access. Then you pay from your PayPal account.
This way, you buy your black market NIKES without giving any information to SJCHRH CRHGG, unless you are high as a kite and choose to do so!
I do NOT recommend letting those privacy raping pillagers at Facebook get into the game, however. Yes, Facebook is trying to get you to hook up to PayPal Access through Facebook. Ha! Fat chance!
EXPERT ANALYSIS OF PRESIDENTIAL CANDITATE HERMAN CAIN'S 9-9-9 PLAN.
Here it is. The plan taxes each of three tax paying segments of society at the identical rate of 9 percent.
9 percent from each of three taxpaying segments of society is not enough money to fund the country.
You may get dressed and go out the back door now. Please pay on your way out.

ANOTHER COMPUTER GREAT PASSES ON
UNIX creator Dennis Ritchie passed away at age 70 after a long illness. Ritchie was a founding creator of both the UNIX and the C language.
A SNEAKY FALL TELEVISION TREAT
The new ABC series "Revenge" is one of those rare television shows that are worthy of me time and me eyes.
This unique tale covers the revengeful motives of a beautiful, upper class stranger who shows up in the Hamptons. She makes quite a splash on one level and engages in a series of slam dunks on another level.
She is bent on destroying everyone and anyone who was instrumental in having her now dead father sent to prison on false charges of aiding and abetting a terrorist operation. Every week, a scumbag goes down, but every week, her path to evil success becomes more convoluted and littered with the clues that she leaves all over the place.
THE BLACKBERRY DEBACLE.
Blackberry is sorry.
The fellow was Raj Rajaratnam, who, " gathered inside information about pending corporate deals and earnings announcements from an array of tipsters, including a Goldman Sachs board member, a senior partner at the consulting firm McKinsey & Co. and an insider at the Moody’s credit rating agency."
How did we let these people get hold of our financial systems?
Moody's credit rating agency? Moody's?

Fun snippets, Zuma! (And yes, Blackberry is.)
paypal/ebay is so anal I am shocked they are doing this.
Blah.. well done
Linda: I am putting out the warning now: Dont do it. I just do EBay ads and refuse to get involved with selling. It's too complicated.
Buffy: If they would throw in a cut to all those subsidies and outlaw lobbying and end corporate personhood...
I was just reading that Cain's 999 might have been inspired not by some financial advisor in Cincinnati (or wherever), but some kind of computer game. Well, why not.
I haven't caught Revenge yet, but I must look for it. Sounds like some vicarious fun. I have had vengeance fantasies, but no real life opportunities...
If you had a cat avatar, you’d get a “nip” award for this!!

You will dig that show! I hope they do reruns, because my DVR is filling up.
mpsyche: Thanks! I love to break down the incomprehensible news.
