How to Dig a Deeper Grave for the Philippines

Only 2 weeks to go before the voter registration ends.. Please, for the sake of our country, exercise your right to vote! Register to vote!

Believe me, leaving your work a day or 2 just to register to vote is more worth rather than the suffering we will all experience in a term of the wrongly elected president.

Haven't we learned our lessons yet? The more we don't vote, the more we dig a deeper grave for our country. Remember, this is our one and only country. Not only yours, not only mine. If we don't care because we think our country is a hopeless case, who will give a damn to care?

Let us not add up to the problem. The domino effect will surely hit you sooner or later. If even our leaders aren't united because of selfish ambitions and reasons, don't you think that we should be the example for them rather than waiting for them to act right? Let us stop blaming them and let us be the first right example.

Let them know that they aren't liked for what they did rather than kissing their asses because they are good to you.

Before voting, please make sure that your candidate is really qualified. Not only technically and legally but more importantly, competitively.

It doesn't mean that when everyone is doing it, it is right and vice versa. Listen to what those politicians are saying. Look at what they are doing. And finally, check out if they are doing what they are saying because these 3 are entirely different things.

So, please please please -- do register and vote so you would not be contributing to a deeper grave for our beloved Philippines. I already registered.

Also, this Friday, please support this cause -- it's a concert. To enter, just bring
donations for those affected by Typhoon Pepeng and Ondoy (Although not required, better if you have).

Online Banking vs Offline Banking

A battle of convenience vs security
http://img207.imageshack.us/img207/7685/comps.jpg
Advantages of online banking
*Stay at home and do all your transactions like fund transfer or paying bills without using up much of your precious time.

*This means more free time for everyone!!!

*Want to know more advantages? learn more.



Advantages of offline banking
*You can talk to a human being in person and get a clear solution to your problem if you are having difficulty with regards to banking.

*You get to exercise if you walk to the bank or minimal exercise when driving a car.

*Security in the physical world is much more intuitive for most people- keep your checkbook in a safe place or don't let someone peek when you are entering your PIN.

Disadvantages of online banking
*If you are having problems, your queries won't be answered immediately unlike when you are physically in the bank. The reply to your query might take time.

*Online security is opaque to the end user. People who aren't particularly tech savvy have a tough time differentiating between good online security practices and bad online security practices.

Disadvantages of offline banking
*It takes to much time to drive to your bank then, lining up to pay bills. Watch this video representation of online and offline banking.



Online banking has grown dramatically—indicating that security concerns common a decade ago have been alleviated.

Consider:

• Strong user growth
—Online banking in the US grew to 44 million consumers in 2006. -In the UK, online banking usage has grown 50 percent since 2005.-In Finland, only 10 to 15 percent of all banking transactions are now done over-the-counter.

• Less hacking
-A 2006 Gartner survey showed only 8 percent of banks reported external hacks against their systems.

• New forms of attack required
-Since direct hacks against banking systems became very difficult, cyber criminals have resorted to phishing consumers with falsified emails. Today, 60 percent of banks report suffering from phishing attacks.

On an end note, we all know that we can't purely depend on online banking because there are those times that you really need to go to the bank physically.

This is just merely an article showing some of the advantages and disadvantages of online banking and offline banking.
