What About Hidden Cameras in The Office?

December 18th, 2011 | Category: Electronic

How would you feel about going to the office everyday knowing that you were being observed by hidden cameras ? Many people find themselves in essentially this situation, because they work for corporations which carefully monitor their internet use and their email. While not actually the same thing as direct surveillance by a spy camera, this kind of computer monitoring is arguably just as intrusive and just as unnerving. However, it seems to be part of the cost of working for a large corporation.

Large corporations are risk averse by nature, and one can hardly blame them for being so, especially when it comes to what their employees do with their computers. One of the many ways in which the internet has simplified modern life is that it has made breaking the law easier than ever. A  spy camera trained on an employee at her desk might reveal nothing amiss, and yet she might be streaming a movie illegally, cyber stalking  her favorite celebrity, or committing any number of felonies. Businesses are right to be wary of their liability when one of their employees uses one of their computers to perform some illegal activity.

So while spy cameras are not yet a familiar part of the modern office environment, computer monitoring definitely is, and it’s here to stay. What effect this has on morale, or on the comfort level of office workers, who should expect some degree of trust from their employers, is not clear, but it can’t be good.

NCAA Basketball Betting as a Hobby

December 11th, 2011 | Category: PC Games

I am an avid gambler for pleasure. I love sports and gambling just enhances the experience. It is a hobby I do from the comfort of my couch with a few of my good buddies good naturedly competing. When college basketball season starts I turn to NCAA basketball betting for sports action. I have frequented a number of sites and it is best when choosing the site you are going to use it is best to spend some time looking at the reviews online, to make sure you end up with a site with which you are happiest.

 

I know that not everyone is a basketball fan. There are also plenty of excellent sites that cater to NCAA football betting for those out there that prefer football. And I enjoy betting on both. The sheer amount of data available about NCAA football for bettors can be overwhelming. Wading through the data is something that a good online betting site can help do for you. They can provide the information that allows the bettor to place well educated guesses and make the most of their betting experience. Bet online sportsbook is one site option that offers ridiculously good bonus options to its bettors, and it is user friendly enough that experienced to novice bettors will be able to make good decisions on betting by using their stats data, which is easily accessed. There are other sites, but they lack the ease of use and professionalism of bet online sports book, which is why I find it so appealing.
