USB Rechargeable Battery???


Ok probably about the coolest thing I've ever seen! You'd have to have several USB ports since not many items need only one battery, but still, very inventive!!!

Since When Does The Right To Privacy Apply To Criminals?

I was a loyal Hotmail fan starting even before highschool. I love the way emails are displayed, especially pictures and had never had a problem....

Until I started getting up to 60 emails a day from "failure delivery" or "postmaster." When I opened one, the message I supposedly sent was in a forgein language. The emails were always to different people and in several languages. I was getting these mass emails every day and sometimes twice a day. Annoying, but they were easy to delete. After a few weeks of this, I contacted hotmail just to let them know what going on and make sure my account hadn't been hacked.

A week later, I received a generic email from Hotmail telling me the only thing I can do is change my password (thanks for the help...) THEN the next thing I know I was not aloud to send emails, a quota had been placed on my account and I would not be able to send out emails for the next 48 hours. Well that's convienient.

I replied back to Hotmail letting them know of the new development. ONE MONTH later I receive an email from a new Hotmail employee (by now I've opened a new email account and moved on, or at least I thought I did) telling me that due to security they can not tell me if my account has been hacked into. HA, so it's my account, but they can't tell the owner of the account if it has been hacked due to security? Makes perfect sense.....no wait, it doesn't make any sense at all.

So.....long story short, Hotmail has terrible security!
