Employees suspended over e-mail abuse
In this ananova story:
Hewlett Packard has suspended around 150 staff in the UK over alleged email abuse. It says it's fired a 'small number' of permanent staff so far.
HP says the investigation is focused on "the viewing and sharing of unauthorised and inappropriate material".
I'm curious.. I would assume by "inappropriate material" they mean porn, I wonder how much of it was spam? I get porn spam in my e-mail box (well, not at work, but personal that I do read at work) on nearly daily basis (register a domain with a valid e-mail address and you'll see what I mean).
If they mean joke e-mails.. sheesh.. I think half of my cow-orkers would be fired over that one.. (they should be for the severely unfunny ones and the stupid urban legend forwards).

From the AP news wire.
Don't be surprised to see a naked woman walking out of a shopping mall restroom:
The latest scam being perpetrated in our nations shopping malls is not the cost of gourmet ice cream cones or Harry Potter collectible figurines.
With what is being called amazing regularity, victims of this new crime wave have been found walking out of shopping mall restrooms completely naked. This has almost always been done by men to women, with a few exceptions. The way it works is, a man slips into a women's restroom and sneaks into a stall. He waits until there is only one woman in the restroom in a neighboring stall. Then he quickly puts an out of order sign on the outside of the restroom door. The out of order sign guarantees no one will soon come to the woman's rescue. The criminal then stands on the toilet and points a hand gun into the next stall, demanding the woman's valuables. After getting her cash, jewelry and credit cards, he orders her to remove all of her clothing and kick them out of the stall. The thief tosses the clothing into a shopping bag, and slips back into the mall. It usually takes an hour or two for the woman to work up the nerve to leave the restroom in the nude, giving the criminal ample time to make his get away. The woman is eventually left naked and humiliated in a mall full of strangers.
The best defense, say police, is to never go into a shopping mall restroom alone, as only women who are by themselves are targeted.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW. This has so far been a nearly perfect crime, as none of the perpetrators have been caught. Don't let this happen to another woman.
