National Identity Fraud Prevention Week -

I’ve just found out that it’s National Identity Fraud Prevention Week in the UK at the moment. What is ID fraud? Well, it’s when someone impersonates you or your company and commits criminal deeds which you may eventually be blamed for. The most common crime committed is fraud, using your details to defraud you or third parties. Unfortunately we live in a world where information is readily available, and most of us have no qualms leaving our date of birth on Facebook or telling people what our mother’s maiden name is. Unfortunately these two factors are also used by a number of financial institutions to protect your online account. Do you see where I’m heading with this? No? then maybe this video can help:

Google Wave plugin for Firefox -

Here’s an interesting plugin for Firefox if you have Google Wave. To date, I’ve been keeping my browser open on Wave in the hope that someone will send me a message, but that’s quite wasteful on resources. Yes, bandwidth is cheap, it’s not like I’m using commercial satellite or anything like that; but any running process is going to consume resources in some shape or form.

Top 5 Applications for your Android phone -

It’s been almost 2 weeks since I got my HTC Magic running Google’s new mobile operating system: Android. It’s been a great two weeks, I’m positively in love with the device and Android is just superb. All the things that used to frustrate me about Windows Mobile 6.1 (I had an HTC Artemis before this) have magically disappeared and I cannot recommend Android enough. I thought I’d take a breather from playing with the phone and blog about some of the applications I’ve found for Android that make the phone so special.

There are so many differences between the eastern culture and that of the west. Take wedding for example, they differs in many aspects.

Weddings performed during and immediately following the medieval era were often more than just a union between two people. They could be a union between two families, two businesses or even two countries. Many weddings were more a matter of politics than love, particularly among the nobility and the higher social classes. Brides were therefore expected to dress in a manner that cast their families in the most favorable light, for they were not representing only themselves during the ceremony. Brides of an elevated social standing often wore rich colors and expensive fabrics. It was common to see such brides wearing bold colors and layers of furs, velvet and silk.

Wedding date comes near at hand. Choosing wedding dresses has been submitted to schedule and also becomes a big tough task for me. My friends tell me the following three styles are fashion now. I have to made comparison among them.

Simple Style：

Simple design could build up to the special character of ladies. However how to emphasize on the merits and avoid demerits is a tough point with simple designs in the international fashion industry. The excellent pruning and material are the best points for success, which could embody the quality and class of wedding dresses perfectly. In my opinions, this style is fit for the girl who owns the strong sense of independence.

Romantic Style:

One of the major advantages of an economic downturn is that there are great deals to be had; the challenge is that many of us are very bad at negotiating.

There is clearly an element of 'nature vs. nurture' some of us are clearly genetically more inclined to haggle, while for others the process is more unpleasant and degrading than having teeth pulled.
