Mar 08, 2013 Skype's Been Hijacked in China, and Microsoft Is O.K. With It

QUOTE: a conflict between Microsoft’s advocacy of privacy rights and its role in surveillance....When Internet users in China try to access Skype.com, they’re diverted to the TOM-Skype site. While the Chinese version bears the blue Skype logo—and provides services for online phone calls and text chats—it’s a modified version of the program found elsewhere in the world. The surveillance feature in TOM-Skype conducts the monitoring directly on a user’s computer...

Apr 19, 2012 CPI Conspiracy Theories Persist Even With Broad ChecksI

QUOTE: The [Bureau of Labor Statistics]’s price-gathering and statistical methods are standard practice from Japan to Switzerland. That hasn’t averted a lashing from critics who say the government is engaged in a campaign to hide inflation of 10 percent a year or more. Assurances by Federal Reserve policy makers that inflation remains “subdued” also haven’t deterred the skeptics.

Apr 17, 2012 How to Pay No Taxes: 10 Strategies Used by the Rich

QUOTE: For those who can afford a shrewd accountant or attorney, our era is rife with opportunities to avoid—or at least defer—tax bills, according to tax specialists and public records. It’s limited only by the boundaries of taste, creativity, and the ability to understand some very complex shelters.

Oct 01, 2009 America's High-Tech Sweatshops: U.S. companies may be contributing unwittingly to the exploitation of workers imported from India and elsewhere by tech-services outfits

QUOTE: To get clients to the right people, Banks, 35, employs about 20 former defense and security honchos from federal agencies, as well as veterans of consulting firms and defense companies.

QUOTE: Managers at GE's Transportation Systems pretended they had sold more than 100 locomotives that were actually running at idle on GE property in the December cold of 2002, the Securities & Exchange Commission charged on Aug. 4....The suit alleged that two sets of transactions were intentionally designed to defraud investors.

Aug 02, 2009 The FTC Takes On Targeted Web Ads

QUOTE: Now, Leibowitz wants to terminate—or at least rein in—a different practice he finds no less harmful to consumers: delivering ads to individuals based on the Web pages they visit and searches they carry out....How far he goes in regulating the practice could have big implications for a host of companies that depend on Web advertising and engage in some form of targeting.

Jul 31, 2009 iPhone Apps: What Makes Apple Say No? Recent app rejections, including Google Voice, have developers—and the FCC—asking Apple to clarify its criteria

QUOTE: Other programs are rejected because they duplicate (or potentially compete with) Apple's iPhone software. On July 31 the Federal Communications Commission sent a letter to Apple questioning its rejection of Google Voice, a telephony application. Many analysts believe the service was blocked because it could have snatched revenue from Apple's exclusive wireless service provider, AT&T (T), by providing cheap call rates over Google's (GOOG) lines. AT&T denies any involvement in the move. Among the FCC's questions: Why was Google Voice rejected? What are the standards for acceptance and rejection?

Jul 30, 2009 The Antitrust Cop and the Tech Industry: Christine Varney aims to reinvigorate antitrust policy without stifling U.S. business, but Google and Intel could be among her targets

QUOTE: Varney says her goal is to bring antitrust law back to its historical center, not simply to go after giants because of their size. "We are not anti-big in any way, shape, or form," says Varney, a former Federal Trade Commissioner who spent the past 12 years representing corporations as a partner at the Washington law firm Hogan & Hartson. "But with enormous success comes responsibility." Varney says the Justice Dept. will be taking a look at a range of industries including transportation and technology.

Jul 30, 2009 Hermitage Claims Russian Bankers May Have Helped With Fraud In a New York court filing, Hermitage alleges that executives of Moscow investment bank Renaissance Capital Holdings had prior knowledge of theft and tax fraud

QUOTE: Hermitage has alleged that it was the victim of Russian corporate raiders and corrupt government officials who cooperated to steal its assets, file bogus law suits, and reclaim $230 million in taxes previously paid by Hermitage to the Russian government. In its filing on July 28 Hermitage alleges publicly for the first time that executives of another prominent Moscow financial institution, investment bank Renaissance Capital Holdings, may have helped defraud Hermitage.

Jul 30, 2009 How Reliable Are Lobbyist Registration Data?

QUOTE: The Government Accountability Office audits a random sample of lobbyist filings, but federal law doesn't require lobbyists to actually document the lobbying they say they're doing. In April, the GAO sampled 2008 lobbyist filings and discovered that two thirds included details the filers couldn’t corroborate; for roughly a quarter of the filings, lobbyists couldn’t even establish which branch of government they had contacted for clients.

Jul 30, 2009 Health Care in Crisis: Better Ways to Beat Cancer?

QUOTE: The Klinik offers both conventional and alternative cancer therapies that are not sanctioned by the American medical establishment...The doctors asked that he return for a second series of treatments as soon as possible, once the infection had been cleared up. They also added that he had responded remarkably well and would probably survive....One would think that if we were truly serious about the war on cancer, there would have been a thorough investigation of the successful treatment he received. Instead, we received only silence from the very American oncologists who verified that Mike Ellis' cancer had gone into remission.

Jul 29, 2009 Resveratrol: The Hard Sell on Anti-Aging

QUOTE: But to Sinclair's chagrin, he was quickly turned into a pitchman by companies selling resveratrol supplements on the Internet....The doctor never uttered any of the words attributed to him. In fact, Sinclair is the first to admit that the whole resveratrol story has never been clear-cut. Although that name is on the label of red-grape extracts sold in health food stores everywhere, such resveratrol pills have never been proven effective in large-scale clinical trials.

Jul 28, 2009 Health Care in Crisis: Overmedicating America

QUOTE: But there was a discrepancy in Judi's spinal tap results: All the markers for MS came back negative. While there was one spot of demyelination on her spinal cord, the cause of that damage was not MS. Dr. Chen, Judi's neurologist, delivered the good news—but at the same time said she wanted Judi to start the treatment as if her tests had come back positive....The proposed treatment involved in this case could have amounted to a lifetime cost of more than $450,000—and this for a patient who in fact does not have the disease for which the treatment was prescribed.

Jul 27, 2009 Rioting Chinese Steel Workers Kill Boss Over Layoffs

QUOTE: Some 30,000 angry Chinese workers staged a riot at a steel factory in China that resulted in its boss getting beaten to death, underscoring just how quickly economic problems can stoke social unrest....China’s communist leaders are obsessed with keeping social unrest under control, but the frenetic pace of economic transformation in the country often sparks uprisings.

Jul 26, 2009 Skilled Immigrants on Why They're Leaving the U.S.

QUOTE: But the issue is tricky when it comes to the most educated and skilled immigrants—people like Ganguly. When well-paid individuals leave the country, that cuts into already depleted tax revenues for state and local governments. The departure of top talent in technology and science may also undercut the prospects for a recovery in the U.S., many economists say. These immigrants often start companies and come up with technological breakthroughs, creating new job opportunities for all.

Jul 22, 2009 Even the Employed Lose with Hour and Wage Cuts

QUOTE: The average workweek for the month fell 0.1 hours, to 33 hours, the lowest ever recorded for data that go back to 1964. Average weekly earnings, meanwhile, actually fell to $611.49 in June, from $613.34 in May. Hourly earnings remained flat. Economists say the combination of reduced hours and pay, along with continued job losses, could significantly slow a recovery as even the employed lack the means to boost their spending.
