Analyze, Identify False Amazon Reviews

May 17, 2016 by Marc Handelman in All is Information, Common Sense, Commerce, Critical Thinking

New, interesting analyzer site, targeting false Amazon reviews has appeared on our radar. Apparently legit, too.. Apparently, as the site also lists best products by the authenticity of the review. Grain, meet salt.

The Federal Communications Commission has issued the codified order targeting Net Neutrality.

At over *Four hundred pages long*, this document will (likely) become one of the most highly contentious Orders emerging this year (or the weapon of choice for conspiracy theorists due to it's weight*) from the Commission.

Tickers

February 27, 2015 by Marc Handelman in All is Information, Commerce, Information Security

And, while on the previous subject, the ticker symbol HACK is presented, and speculation of adding other security related tickers. The HACK ticker symbol represents an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) (in this case, an investment vehicle targeting the so-called cyber-security realm and originally created by PureFunds).
