How cool, 2 articles for the same event.  I really appreciate the local newspapers getting behind the tech community in NB, definitely shows the signs of times are changing.

SUCCESS! The Verdicts In:

With over 120+ in attendance, I've got to say it was a real blast!
The next Moncton Third Tuesday is in 3 months, and it's guaranteed
to blow this one out of the water - we've already made adjustments
to the format, agenda and information to make it even more relevant  to the local industries, and to keep true to the Third Tuesday "raison d'etre".

Is the Internet removing all privacy? What rights do I have? Once it's up - can it ever be taken down?

I found this picture when searching for geotagged images in Moncton, NB (my home town). What's interesting is that I know both people in this picture very, very well, and I'm almost 100% sure that they don't know this picture is up on the Internet.

There's nothing wrong with the picture, per se, but doesn't that really depend on who you are?

What if I were an ex girlfriend/boyfriend? What if I were a hiring manager? Think about ...

I'm not saying its bad - right or wrong - I'm just making a point. Is privacy dead?
