Subject: Google Lets Users Customize News Site
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Web search leader Google Inc. on
Thursday said it added tools to its news site that lets users
customize the stories they see.
The move from Silicon Valley-based Google and Microsoft Corp.'s MSN
Internet unit added features to make it easier for their users to
create personalized welcome pages tailored with the information they
want to receive.
With the new tools, users of Google News can create customized pages
on the site that gathers news stories from around the Web, the company
said.
Google News users can now prioritize existing news topics such as top
stories, health, entertainment or sports to change the look of the
site's front page. Users also can create new categories to capture
news stories that contain certain key words.
Google News is available on mobile phones and handheld devices that
can read Web pages. News customization is now available only on
personal computers.
Separately, Yahoo announced on Thursday that it had given its mobile
users the ability to access all of their personalized My Yahoo
headlines and the first part of related stories, including those that
come from RSS and Atom feeds, on most mobile phones and handheld
devices in the United States.
My Yahoo recently added support for open content syndication standards
like Really Simple Syndication and Atom, which allow users to receive
content from sources such as news organizations and blogs.
Google gets the lion's share of its revenue from Web search advertising,
but does not show ads on its news site.
"It's something that we'll consider. We're not making any decisions at
this time," Director of Consumer Web Products Marissa Mayer said when
asked whether the company plans to add ads to its news site.
Google's news aggregation site is still in testing as the company
builds out its features.
Mayer added that Google was not trying to offer a personalized home
page like those from competitors, which allow users to view news or
information such as horoscopes or stock quotes and quickly connect to
other services such as e-mail.
"We're not trying to make this be your one-stop shop on the Web,"
Mayer said.
Shares of Google closed down $1.37, or 0.8 percent, to $79.98 on the
Nasdaq. Yahoo shares finished off 41 cents, or 1.3 percent to $31.91
also on Nasdaq.

Subject: Online Payment Company Settles Privacy Charges
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - An Internet payment company has agreed to
return the money it earned from selling a list of nearly 1 million
customers to telemarketers and junk mailers without permission,
federal regulators said on Thursday.
Utah-based CartManager International sold the names, addresses, phone
numbers and purchase history of consumers who used its "shopping cart"
software to make purchases on thousands of Web sites, the Federal
Trade Commission said.
Many of those Web sites told visitors that any personal information
they provided would be kept private, the FTC said.
CartManager said that it would retain "full ownership" of consumer
data, but buried that notice in a lengthy online agreement and did not
explain how it intended to use that information.
CartManager parent company Vision I Properties LLC agreed to pay back
the $9,000 it earned from the sale of customer data and clearly
disclose when it intends to sell customer data in the future. The
company faces increased penalties if does not abide by the agreement.
CartManager was not immediately available for comment.

"Ex-GOP Party Head Charged in Phone Jamming"
"By ERIK STETSON Associated Press Writer March 10, 2005, 1:23 PM EST"
"CONCORD, N.H. The former executive director of the New Hampshire
Republican Party was sentenced Thursday to seven months in prison for
jamming Democratic telephone lines during the 2002 election.
"Chuck McGee pleaded guilty to federal charges of conspiring to make
anonymous calls with the intent to annoy or harass. He was also fined
$2,000 and ordered to perform 200 hours of community service."
...
"The computer-generated calls -- more than 800 in all -- lasted for about
an hour and a half and also disrupted a union phone line."

[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: I am not sure if they would warrant _jail_
time or not. It would depend on the judge's interpretation of the
facts; most spammers and/or telemarketers simply go through a list of
email addresses and/or phone numbers. A nusiance yes, but not the sort
of willful and deliberate behavior of Chuck McGee. Or even if you say
that spammers/telemarketers are a little bit deliberate and willful,
they do not single out one person or organization as this man did.
I am reminded of the same situation happening to Jerry Falwell's
"Moral Majority" organization, in Lynchburg, VA several years ago.
Someone living in the Atlanta area programmed his computer to dial the
800 number for Falwell exactly once per minute, around the clock for
several weeks. The phone room operators in Lynchburg kept receiving
these 'dead calls' (total silence) but because of the volume of calls,
no one detected anything unusual, just that they had a 'lost call',
i.e. a call where the caller 'hung up' (so they thought) before an
operator was available to take the call. Finally an operator during
the slower overnight hours wised up to the fact that these spurious
'lost calls' were coming once per minute at times when there was
absolutely no reason for them at all ...
Their first thought was to blame the 'telephone company' and a call
to the Bell repair techs brought a couple of techs out to investigate.
This was a very large account for Bell, after all, with inbound 800
traffic totalling several hundred thousand dollars per month. The
techs wanted to appease the customer, and they got in that centrex
ACD (automatic call distributor) cabinet and over a couple days tried
to isolate the problem. Their main hassle was it was very difficult
to 'busy out' certain lines to test; the volume of 'regular' calls
was so heavy the techs had a hard time getting a line isolated to
busy it out, there was one seizure after another, often times several
seizures at the same instant. Finally, Bell came to the conclusion
there was nothing wrong with the customer premise equipment. About the
same time, someone on Dr. Falwell's staff in charge of reconciling
and paying the phone bill each month noticed that the same phone
number was showing up 'quite a lot of the time', and Bell started
looking in that direction, still trying to appease the customer.
Telco back-tracked it through AT&T to Atlanta, and telco there filled
in the blanks, and when telco security representatives and Atlanta
Police showed up with a search warrant, they found the computer busy
at its task, dialing 800-MoralMajority once per minute, sitting there
several seconds, then disconnecting and doing it again. Bell told
Falwell they would write it off as long as he (Falwell) okayed them
filing charges. If he would not file charges, they they would sue him
for payment instead. Falwell agreed to let the telco handle it for him
(obviuously!) and the total damage was a little over a million dollars
in bogus 800 charges, over the several months it had been going on. I
guess the guy wound up getting a jail term of six months or so, and
had to make a couple thousand dollars in restitution as part of his
parole agreement. PAT]

Subject: Wiring Two Lines on One Jack
Date: 10 Mar 2005 19:21:37 -0800
Organization: http://groups.google.com
Hi,
I would like to wire one jack for two lines. Here is the setup of the
wires after opening the jack.
The red screw terminal has two blue and 1 orange wires connected to
it. The green screw terminal has 2 white/blue and 1 white/orange wire
connected to it. I'm just curious as to why there are 3 wires
connected per terminal.
The yellow an black screw terminals are not connected to any
wires. Now what should I do to be able to access a second line?
Thank you!
[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: Red/green is traditionally one pair;
and yellow/black is traditionally the second pair. You want to use
the unused yellow/black screw terminals for your second line. Can
you tell us more about the _type of phone instrument_ currently in
use on your (I presume) working single line? With no other knowledge
it is difficult to answer your question; was this/is this part of
a business phone arrangment? Does the pair which is 'wired' at
present go to a working instrument? PAT]

Date: Thu, 10 Mar 2005 19:18:35 -0500
Organization: Posted via Supernews, http://www.supernews.com
This afternoon I rushed into the room to answer a call on the third
ring. "This is Tell Nants calling on behalf of Bell South in regards
to telemarketing. Sorry we missed you. If you have any questions,
call 1-866..."
It's pretty bad when somebody programs a robot to call homes and hang
up without saying what it's about.
The call came from 954 443 9404, which is Technion Communications. On
the web I've found complaints that their telemarketing robots will
bombard a Bell South customer day after day. Apparently the law
doesn't apply if the victim has a business relationship with the
client, in this case Bell South.
Two hours later I found a similar message on my answering machine,
again telling me to call Bell South at the 866 number. Because the
robot was programmed start speaking immediately, I didn't get the
whole message. That could lure the victim into calling in case it was
important. (On the web I've found a document where Technion argues to
the FCC that the law doesn't apply if they can lure the victim into
making the call.)
It seems like harassment to me. Can I do anything to stop it?

I'm sure someone will chime in with the 'official' word, but in
practice I've always used 700-555-4141 as the inTER-lata PIC
verification, and 700-555-4242 as the inTRA-lata PIC verification (not
applicable in all markets). That having been said, your carrier of
choice still has to have translations set up for that to work. I
believe historically the LEC's would send anything in NPA 700 to the
PIC'd carrier.
It worked from my home phone about two months ago (Philly suburban),
and it does work from my Focal (clec) provided service here as well.
The other thing you can do is try 'double 0' to get to the PIC'd LD
operator. That might tell you something, but if the PIC'd carrier is
a reseller, you could end up anywhere.
Good luck!

If you are getting a busy signal this means that there is most likely
trouble with your local phone company. Whenever you call that number
and you get the name of your long distance company or some other type
of message then the trouble is usually with your long distance carrier.
I would call your local phone company's repair line and advise them
that you are getting a busy signal on the 700 number and they can check
the routing for you. This is really a problem if you are getting a fast
busy which you didn't indicate.

Normally should take between 3-15 seconds to disconnect a call. If
trouble persists, disconnect all phones except for one and see if it
still happens. If it doesn't happen anymore the trouble is with one of
the phones you unhooked. If you are still having the trouble see if
you get your dialtone back after 15 seconds. If not, call repair
service at your local phone company to have your line tested to make
sure nothing is wrong. There are a number of issues that could cause
this type of problem that an electronic line test might find out.

[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: The way I get Caller-ID was by
first suspending the DISA (the PBXtra was otherwise grabbing
calls on the first half-ring and providing its own ringing tone
meaning caller-ID never had a chance to get transmitted (between
first and second rings). You suspend DISA by using program code
508000 and another string of numbers, then 'saving' the program
code with 50911. Henceforth the line(s) just ring until they get
answered. To get the caller-ID I tapped both incoming lines (Prairie
Stream and Vonage) into an AT&T two-line splitter and sent the output
to the (1) single caller-ID display unit and (2) a common audible
or 'side ringer'. By suspending the DISA (thus preventing the
PBXtra from doing 'call supervision' it also permits me to use
my _own_ answering machine/voicemail (which cuts in after a
reasonable number of rings) rather than having PBXtra grab the
incoming call on the first ring and processing it itself and the
two CO's (Vonage and Prairie Stream) thinking the call was answered.
