With the passing of the “Forever Stamp” by the U.S. Postal Service the government will hope to cash in on the fast influx of cash from hoarders.

The new “Forever Stamp” that was recently passed will allow you to purchase a first class stamp on inception for forty-one cents and it still be able to use it thirty years later to send a first class letter. This may cause many people to gobble up the stamps for future savings. Though not a savvy savings plan it will create a large cash generator for the U.S. Postal Service.

The sell of the “Forever Stamp” could be implemented in as little as 60 days.

Some Netflix subscribers had been using a download time workaround to be able to watch more movies than their account allows.

Netflix stores minutes on the user’s own PC, in cookies and browser cache files. Users discovered they could pause a movie a few minutes into playback, then wait until it was completely downloaded, unplug their network and watch the film off line. When done, you just clear your cache and cookie files before plugging back in, This would keep Netflix from knowing you have watched more than the first few minutes of the film.

Last week Netflix.com made some changes to correct the hole in the process. This will give hackers just one more challenge to conquer this week.

Charlotte, N.C. U.S.A.(CP)- Woman files compliant against Prackasaw Inc. for what she calls an illegal firing.

Prackasaw Inc. is a small textile distributer which employs 17 people. The woman fired was the front desk receptionist.
The business claims the woman would sit on a massaging ball that was powered by her desktop computer and refused to not use the device during work hours. After repeated warnings the company fired her for not complying.

The woman claimed to only use the massaging ball to relieve muscle spasms on her inner thighs. She is a avid runner and would plug the massager to the USB port on her computer and place it between her upper thighs to relieve the pain from a long run.

She is suing the company in hopes of recovering nine months of lost wages.
