The survey of 1,400 CIOs by Robert Half Technology, an IT staffing firm, also found that 19% of companies allow social networking use only for business purposes, while 16% allow limited personal use.

A judge today ordered the City of Duluth to renew the liquor license of the NorShor Experience strip club, ruling that the city’s decision to revoke the license was “arbitrary and capricious.’’
The City Council voted 8-1 in August not to renew the East Superior Street club’s liquor license. The council cited two liquor violations and disruptive behavior inside and outside the business.
Judge Eric Hylden ruled that incidents at the club did not rise to the level of license revocation, given the “city’s historic tendency to routinely renew liquor licenses.’’

The Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft (AFACT) has launched legal proceedings against ISP iiNet for allegedly allowing identified pirates to continue operating.
The court case will be a landmark in terms of civil rights and the first real test of the Australian “safe harbour” laws which protect ISPs from liability for the content which subscribers move through their system.

Brian Randone

Felicia Tang (Lee)
MONROVIA - Before he was accused of slaying adult film actress Felicia Tang, onetime pastor and reality TV star Brian Randone became successful selling telecommunications contracts.
But, according to an ex-girlfriend, he also had a dark side. Randone drank like a fish, and had an addiction to gambling and a hatred of women, said Suzanne Davis, who said she dated Randone for six years.
“He would inhale alcohol, I’d never seen anything like it,” Davis said. “He would pound on my door at all hours of the night, fill my voice mail with threatening messages, just constantly bait me to fight with him.”
Last week, Randone pleaded not guilty to charges he tortured and murdered Tang, a former PlayboyTV actress whose real name was Felicia Lee. Read more

When I was in junior high, I had a Social Studies teacher who was a total hippy. He’d play records while we were working on whatever it was we were working on that day. One of his records was “The Worst of Jefferson Airplane”, and I’d always wonder why anyone would name anything “The Worst” of…until now.
Lately people have been asking about being male talent in this industry. I thought I’d reflect upon my experience. Read more

I thought flavored lube WAS enviro friendly?...
It’s never been more tempting to get in bed with the green movement.
Going green at home tends to start in the kitchen with organic foods and chemical-free cleaning supplies. It migrates to the big energy hogs like windows and light fixtures and into the playroom to eradicate plastic toys. It hits the garage where gas-guzzlers get replaced by hybrids. Read more
Microsoft’s new Bing search engine just can’t seem to stay out of the red light district, no matter how hard they try.
There’s no denying it is hands down the best porn search engine on the planet (although ChaCha is pretty good too). But Bing also had a snafu with Google ads that showed the search engine for “pornography” queries. Google took the blame for that one (see updates to that post), and at least it only showed up for people actually querying the adult term.
