Free Wifi? No way...yes! It's going to start appearing on virgin airline flights. Wait but the best is yet to come...the person backing this is (my other poster boyness) GOOGLE!

Virgin Airlines is the first US airline to offer wifi on an airplane. So whats this crap about us shutting off our cell phones?
In my opinion it is to reduce the amount of air talking. You ever sit on a bus and someone next to you or nearby is just chatting off a head, "OMG Becky lets get together sometime!!!!" ...annoying. If your not talking on your phone your probably paying attention to the safety information the flight attendant is giving you. =)
* Hulu on the plane would do good justice *

Your household pet
Diabetes? Cancer? Yeah you typically hear that in humans but what about your furry little cute creature that you have at home? It's crazy how household pets are developing these cases! What is in their diets? Here's an excerpt of an article posted on my companies site:
November is international diabetes awareness month – Abbott Animal Health wants you to know that dogs and cats can get diabetes, too. Diabetes affects an average of one in every 200 cats and one in every 500 dogs.
Symptoms and diagnosis
You will be able to recognize the symptoms of diabetes in a dog or cat that is part of your family:
Most cats and dogs that have diabetes are older than seven years. Male cats and female dogs are more prone to this disease. Burmese cats have a risk factor for developing diabetes; the dog breeds with risk factors are Miniature Schnauzer, Bichon Frise, Miniature Poodle, Samoyed, Tibetan Terrier and Cairn Terrier.
You may be able to prevent or delay the onset of diabetes if you help your pet maintain a healthy weight by adhering to the diet prescribed by your veterinarian.
Managing diabetes in pets
If your pet is diagnosed with diabetes, the goal of treatment will be to regulate the glucose level to be as close to normal as possible. This may be done with daily injections of insulin to metabolize dietary glucose, along with careful monitoring. Monitoring is key to managing this disease, in order to reduce the symptoms, minimize the potential consequences of the disease and get the pet into the normal blood glucose range. Pets who do not receive treatment are more likely to get recurrent infections.
The AlphaTRAK Meter, from Abbott Animal Health, was developed specifically for the unique properties of animal blood and provides convenient, accurate blood glucose results with a very small blood sample size. Best of all, it can be used in your home.

Using FB to help you job search?
Well, the title says it all. People are using FB to find jobs. While I think FB is a great social networking tool the people around my generation have quite the track record with FB. When I got onto FB it was Freshman year of college. At the time it was only exclusively available to students with an *.edu address for good causes!
It was fun finding people from your classes and "stalking" them until the state of creepiness comes. Now FB is exposed. You can find me easily, http://www.facebook.com/wang.mark information is viral its very easy to spread.
In this article: http://newgradlife.blogspot.com/2009/11/job-hunting-with-facebook-new-grads.html
It states to send people private messages. When you do that does that person realize that your profile becomes exposed? That all your privacy settings don't necessarily apply anymore? Now they can see your information, your interests (Britney Spears hah!), and whatever else you have "publically" available. (Photos?)
I'll have to agree though networking is one of the best ways to secure a job that you enjoy and love.
