7)  Top Three Ways to Avoid Identity Theft:

1.   Destroy papers you don’t need: credit-card and ATM receipts, checks or deposit slips, health insurance benefit statements, paycheck stubs, tax records and preapproved credit-card offers. Buy a shredder and use it.

2.   Do not carry your Social Security number with you, never give it out unless absolutely necessary and do not have it printed on your checks.

3.   Check your credit report each year. Investigate any accounts you did not apply for directly. To check your credit, contact one of the three major agencies: TransUnion 800-888-4213 (www.tuc.com), Experian 888-EXPERIAN (www.experian.com), or Equifax 800-685-1111 (www.equifax.com). There is a fee for this service.

8)  Google vs. Metacrawler:   

I found the overall appearance of both engines satisfactory and easy to use.  However, I found that Google, in its simplicity, could be considered easier to use.  Google did have a specialty search which I though was a nice feature in addition to a preference feature that was also very useful.  Nevertheless, I found that Metacrawler's searches were more concentrated and the site had more specialty searches.  I found that Metacrawler's site had a wide variety of features on the page that could be useful.  For example, the site had a search for mp3/audio.  However, Metacrawler did have some advertisements that are always annoying, while Google once again kept simple.  I would recommend Google for a more general search, but Metacrawler for a more in depth search.

11)  a)  The first sentence of a report published in October 1999 concerning four emerging technology areas for e-business: 

            "We examine four areas of rapid technology development that exploit the capabilities  of  interactive e-channels: Web-based self-service, data mining,  personalization and e-cash."          

            "Data Mining. Through 2004, e-businesses will experience yet another explosion in the quantity of data they manipulate. Instead of just storing the result of a transaction (e.g., a purchase decision), enterprises will have access to much of the decision-making process leading up to that result (e.g., the navigation path, click-through behavior and alternatives explored) recorded from the online dialogue. This will lead to challenges in data storage and management as well as unprecedented opportunities in customer relationship management to better understand the customers' buying patterns by analyzing these new data sources (e.g., using tools from eHNC or Blue Martini). Applications include new customer acquisition, cross-selling, profitability analysis, churn management and fraud detection."

        b)   Using the Lexis-Nexis database, I found an article with this sentence that addresses Johnson and Johnson's earnings per share in 2001:   

             "Johnson & Johnson , of New Brunswick, N.J., reported fourth-quarter net of $1.1 billion, up from $936 million a year earlier.  The company earned 36 cents a share, up from 30 cents in the year-earlier period."

14)  a)  Author of Personal Technology: Walt Mossberg

http://ptech.wsj.com/

The two portable mp3-cd players that were featured in the article were the Philips eXpanium and the Pine D'music SM-200C.  According to the article, the D'music caused skips in the mp3-cd songs and "played 5 or 10 seconds of static before starting a song."  The eXpanium "doesn't display any song information, making navigation hard. Its overall feel is flimsy and its controls were a little clumsy." Walt Mossberg found "its anti-shock feature, which prevents skips when the unit is moved, to be less than perfect. And it lacks a versatile set of equalizer settings, to change the tone of the music."
