There’s a text messaging scam going on in Ohio right now, that is going after people’s unemployment benefits.

“The fraudulent messages inform recipients that their unemployment benefits have been suspended and to call the provided phone number to reactivate. When recipients call, they are asked for personal information, including debit card numbers and personal identification numbers (PIN). At that point, unemployment benefits deposited on the debit card are accessed and withdrawn by the scam artist.”

The new Android operating system is faster and cooler than the old one, showing that as Android gets older, and more established, the system has the capability of doing anything and everything wireless. If you don’t have an android enabled phone, you might want to get one, along with a new Verizon or TMobile account the next time your cell phone plan is up for renewal.

All I can say is that it’s a good thing that cell phone tracking and tracing is now such an exact science, especially when you grow your third eye, start breathing fire and you go completely insane from the grapefruit sized tumor in your brain… (Just kidding!)

In the last few years, the cost of mobile communications has plummeted, and as newer and faster technology arrives, the cost-to-performance ratio of these services is only going to continue to move in your favor. Right now we are on the verge of the next generation in wireless technology. Networks are set to increase in speed and value with newer, more reliable services and applications already beginning to arrive on the market.

For a glimpse of the future, we need only look to Japan, a nation of technophiles like no other in the world. Already more Japanese access the Internet via their mobile phones than through desktop PCs. They have pioneered the use of mobile phones for everything from shopping to dating. Japanese carriers have already introduced location-aware handsets that can combine with an Internet dating service to notify subscribers when they are within 100 feet of a potential love interest. Both parties, once notified, can use their phones to view profiles and instant message one another before deciding to meet.

As advanced networks appear in the U.S., we will have access to similar services and applications. Already carriers are offering features like messaging, photo messaging, and Web browsing as part of standard service packages. As enhanced services arrive, it will be harder to resist being connected; in fact you may have to stay connected, just to stay competitive.

As a small business owner, this application is going to help me save money by allowing me to cancel my merchant account. A merchant account and merchant gateway cost around $100.00 per month. With this service, everyone from the baby sitter to the guy who mows your lawn will be able to take credit cards directly. Think about 300,000,000 Americans using this device every day… If Dorsey charges 3.5%, like PayPal does, he will end up making hundreds of Billions of dollars each year, and moving ahead of Google as the worlds biggest cash cow.

Man this is going to be fun to watch. Does anyone know where I can get some SQUARE Stock?
