I found this story recently in the NY times: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/28/business/28borker.html?_r=1
A man in brooklyn, who ran a scam eye glass repair website, realized that google ranks a business on its search engine based how many online reviews there are for that business, regardless of whether the reviews were positive. Because of this, he started regularly calling his customers and harrassing them without provocation, hoping that they would write reviews for his website, so that his ranking would improve. And apparently his strategy worked. This is yet another example of how the internet has created new, often easy ways of committing crimes.

being emotional and being a woman
I'm sorry but when did being emotional become such a bad thing? I get mad at some guys because they're so vanilla. I don't think being emotional and caring about people is such a bad thing. And I feel bad for people that think it is.
Since I'm going into medicine I think being emotional (I admit it and I'm proud) and caring is a big plus for me. So many people go into medicine for the wrong reasons and I think since I genuinely want to help people I think that's a very good thing. I think being emotional is part of being human.
In a way being emotional gives women is an extra plus for women. I think that helps us excel in things that have to do with caring about people. I'm not saying that men can't do a wonderful job but if some (not all) women are born with a little extra dash of compassion it can really help us out in the long run. Some men can "mother" and some can do a much better job of it than women but it's not for everyone.
Honestly, I think some women make better doctors when it comes to dealing with children and parents. I usually hear about pediatric doctors so I don't know about other fields.
It just kind of bothers me that someone said that because women are emotional we cannot do certain things...like medicine... and then I was called emotional. I know I will make an amazing doctor thank you very much because I love medicine, helping people and I genuinely care. From my experience and from what I've seen, that makes a good doctor.
