Not much hunger but plenty of games
I saw The Hunger Games today, and quite frankly, my suspicions about reality television were confirmed: officials known as Gamemakers were adding hazards to the arena, for instance, there were several Gamemaker-created wolves chasing the final three tributes. We all expect the people behind a reality TV show to create challenges for the contestants to complete, but chucking random hazards into the arena (I also noticed the Gamemakers creating a forest fire) just takes the real out of reality. And speaking of reality, Facebook has weighed in on a practice by some businesses asking employees or job applicants for their passwords to the popular social-media site. In a nutshell? Facebook says don't do it unless you want to get sued. This practice undermines the privacy expectations and the security of both the user and the user's friends, and also potentially exposes the employer who seeks this access to unanticipated legal liability. So don't do it.
