I know this sounds hard to believe but unfortunately its a reality. Printer manufactures are now invading your right to privacy by encoding each page with identifying information. This is without public knowledge or consent and worse, there is no laws to stop abuse. I do not understand this view point of having to do this to defeat crime. In reality they are treating every single individual as a criminal before a crime has even been committed. In my eyes this is breaking laws already existing. The right to privacy and the right to be “innocent until proven guilty”. Get informed and read the entire publication on this matter by the EFF.

I came across this cool company called Jello and I have to say they make some of the coolest products. For one who wouldn’t want to have a Rubik’s Cube table (smile). One thing I would have to say is the products are quite expensive to me at least. Granted they are unique and specialized. Some people may have seen Jello’s products on the iCarly Show.
