Electronic Hot Sale > Blog > Computers > Cord cutting spreading from TV to Internet service – Yahoo Finance
Cord cutting spreading from TV to Internet service – Yahoo Finance
Fewer homes subscribe to broadband Internet service than they did two years ago, according to a new survey, the first sign that the cord-cutting phenomenon that has plagued cable television may be spreading. Meanwhile, smartphone ownership continued to expand, as more people are relying solely on mobile Internet connections.
Although the decline uncovered in the Pew Research survey was modest — 67% of homes had broadband this year down from 70% in 2013 — the results marked the first time in decades that the reach of the wired Internet shrunk among households. Some 13% of households reported that they are "smartphone only," up from 8% in 2013.
If the trend continues, cable companies like Comcast (CMCSA) and Time Warner Cable (TWC) may have to rethink some of their strategies for coping with cord cutting among television viewers. The big cable companies have said they'll be able to make up for lost TV revenue by charging more for broadband Internet connections, imposing usage caps and offering online TV.
Television cord cutting continues to increase, as well, the survey found, continuing a trend echoed in myriad other reports. Only 76% of households pay for television, Pew found. Of the remainder, 15% have cut the cord and 9% are so-called cord nevers, who never signed up in the first place.
The motivation for eliminating broadband connections appears to be similar to the rational for getting rid of cable television — money.
Among households that did not have broadband, cost was by far the biggest issue, with 33% saying the monthly charge was too expensive and 10% citing the cost of a computer. Some 12% said a smartphone could do everything they needed, 10% said they relied on options outside the home and 5% said service was unavailable or speed was too slow. Another 16% gave some other reason and 14% gave no reason.
Smartphone-only households were far more likely to be young. Almost one in five people aged 18 to 29 said they had just a phone, while 16% of those 30 to 49, 11% of those 50 to 64 and just 7% of those 65 and older said they had one phone.
Pew surveyed 2,001 people aged 18 and older from June 10 to July 12. The survey included people interviewed on landline phones and mobile phones and had a sampling error level of 2.5 percentage points.

I did a little research on different digital SLRs, features, prices, etc and then went to eBay and looked for those cameras on auction. I bid low on a Digital Rebel XT, and Nikon D50 and an Olympus Evolt E500 (hoping I would get one, but not more than one).
I figured if I got a digital SLR with a lens for less than \$500, I would get a new point and shoot camera that's better than what I have now but not top of the line.
So far so good. I lost the D50 and the Digital Rebel XT and won the Evolt! So, as soon as they ship it, I'll join the ranks of digital SLR owners and see where that takes me. I haven't decided on the point and shoot yet, but I'm in no real hurry. The Powershot A640 that Porter mentioned is the current leader, but I'm going to see if I can find something smaller. I really like Tantek's little Canon SD400 that I saw at the last CSS meeting. It's ridiculously small and takes decent pictures in low light (just look at his photos, they're almost all in low light). There are plenty of newer ones to look at, and other models to compare. That task starts after I play some Excite Truck!
If you're looking small you should check out the S600. It's essentially the latest update to the S400. My brother just got one for Christmas and it's crazy tiny but still has most of the manual controls you could ask for.

In an email sent out last night, online shoe and clothing store Zappos let customers know that its database of passwords and usernames was hacked. Your credit card information is safe and all Zappos passwords have been reset, but if you use the same password and email elsewhere, a password audit is in order.
If you're currently a Zappos customer, you can head over to Zappos' official password change page to learn everything there is to know about the incident. In short, the information accessed by hackers includes: your name, email address, billing address, phone number, the last four digits of your credit card, and a scrambled version of your password (which could possibly, with enough time and effort, be cracked).
If you're brand new to LastPass, head over to our beginner's guide to LastPass to get up and running.
If you're already using LastPass, our intermediate guide will help you go beyond the basics.
Of particular interest right now, you can use LastPass to audit and update your passwords. Their audit tool can reveal your least secure passwords, which passwords you're repeating on various sites (fixing this for a password you may have repeated on Zappos will be especially important), and more.
Using a tool like LastPass may seem like overkill, but remember: The only secure password is the one you can't remember. You're better safe than sorry.

The Potential Impact of Multilateral Development Bank Sanctions
What could be worse than a several-hundred-million dollar Foreign Corrupt Practices Act fine hitting your company? How about not being allowed to even compete for many of your most important contracts for a period of several years.
By William Jacobson and Lauren Muldoon
What could be worse than a several-hundred-million dollar Foreign Corrupt Practices Act fine hitting your company? How about not being allowed to even compete for many of your most important contracts for a period of several years. While most international companies are by now keenly aware of anti-corruption laws such as the FCPA and the UK Bribery Act, there is generally less awareness of the enforcement regimes the World Bank Group and other multilateral development banks (MDBs) have developed to combat the improper use of the funds they lend. With more than 1,000 entities and individuals currently debarred by the bank alone, the MDBs have increasingly become investigative and enforcement heavyweights, capable of imposing crippling sanctions such as multiyear debarments. Every company participating in MDB-financed projects must be cognizant of their compliance guidelines and the impact of their investigative and disciplinary functions.

ethical fashion isn't a trendy lifestyle choice, it's an uncompromising belief that people should always come before profit. fashion manufacturing isn't a machine, it's a force dependent on the skill of 20 million garment workers worldwide.
our ethical ethos
rebellelion is created by a single seamstress in denver, colorado. we believe in a living wage, we believe in corporate responsibility, we believe in people over profit. we only source our materials from companies we are confident uphold the same level of ethics we require for our production, if we are unsure then we don't buy. we love supporting small, local business whenever possible. our ethics are uncompromising.
you see, call it a pet peeve when we hear the same tired complaints about ethical clothing being too expensive when "it only cost pennies to make". the idea that any garment can be produced for "pennies" only further validates paying garment workers severely below a living wage. so many first world consumers erase the humans behind their products, not understanding the value of the work it takes to create these essential items. the never ending hunger for a bargain is always at the expense of the manufacturing workforce in developing countries and we can no longer turn a blind eye, it is essential that we adjust our perspective to a global view of ethics when it comes to our purchasing power as consumers.
ethical impact of fast fashion
most global brands do not manufacture their clothing in developed countries so it is impossible for us to understand the devastating effects of these manufacturing practices. these factories are not polluting our waters with lethal carcinogens, not sickening our neighbors from poisonous chemicals, not forcing our families into long hours of labor in unsafe conditions, not devastating our communities into extreme poverty – the problem is out of sight, out of mind. we don't demand transparency from the businesses where we shop but rather participate in the seasonal consumption of the latest trends. the suffering of laborers in second and third world countries is not common knowledge beyond being the butt of a joke about sweatshops and child labor. the fashion industry is booming due to the exploitation of the cheap labor provided by millions of garment workers globally and they get away with it because it happens behind closed doors in dilapidated buildings far away from consumers.
long hour & low wages
factory workers in developing countries like bangladesh are required to work 10-12 hour workdays with those numbers jumping to 18 hour days closer to deadlines. many say they have no choice but to work overtime since their wages are so low and they fear being fired if they refuse. wages are unimaginably unfair with adults sometimes making $3/day and children even less than that. the tailored wages report surveyed 20 major brands (like adidas, amazon, gap, h&m, nike, puma, under armour) to see if their manufacturing employees overseas were making a living wage- all of which received the lowest possible score meaning they produced no evidence that any worker making their clothing was paid a living wage. this cycle of poverty forces parents away from their children for the majority of each day, or even worse leaves parents no choice but to bring their young children in to the toxic environments produced by clothing manufacturing. adolescents often have to go to work at the factories early in life to help support their families, preventing them from getting a proper education.
labor exploitation & sexual harassment
while many factory employees struggle to make a living wage in a cycle of poverty that offers them no other choice, many workers worldwide are literally forced into labor. in uzbekistan, people are drafted by the government to work in the cotton fields, even schools are closed for months during the harvest season so children as young as 10 can work picking cotton. the government charges them for transportation to the fields and food they eat on the job, so that often times workers are actually in debt at the end of harvest season. uzbekistan farmers are forced to sell their cotton to a government controlled company that only pays one-third of the global market price.
the fair wear foundation and care international took a survey of 763 female workers in a vietnamese factory and nearly half had suffered from some form of violence and sexual harassment which ranged from groping, slapping, kissing and rape. 20% of the women interviewed said they were also fearful during transportation to work and many had been threatened and followed home. pay is deducted for too many bathroom breaks and workers are harassed and beaten for working too slow.
disease & health risk
cotton farmers and factory workers are subjected to long-term exposure to pesticides, lead-based dyes, and poisoning from chemicals. these toxins can have immediate effects like vomiting, headaches, disorientation and loss of consciousness. long term, workers exposed to toxic environments can suffer from impaired memory, respiratory diseases, extreme depression, seizures, cancer and death.
20% of industrial water pollution comes from textile treatment and dyeing with over 400 million pounds of toxic chemicals dumped into water systems annually. this dangerous runoff from dye houses contain heavy metals, formaldehyde, chlorine bleach and known carcinogens like arylamines. the noyyal river is a sacred vessel that runs through tirupur in india and is so polluted that it can no longer be used for livestock or irrigation. local resident mohan sundaram eswaran said, "that river used to be clean, i could play on the banks of it. now, i cannot even look at it — all for a few dollars we earned. we cannot do that to a river that's been running for a thousand years." 85 % of the daily water needs for the entire population of india would be covered by the water used to grow cotton in the country.
in addition to exposure to toxic chemicals, the factories in which garment workers manufacture clothing are usually dangerous and unfit working conditions. factories are often dimly lit and poorly ventilated, forcing workers to strain their eyes while toiling away in sweltering heat. many factories are overpacked and undersupplied, with many employees forced to complete their work while sitting on the floor.
since the majority of manufacturing plants are in developing countries, they have looser building codes with compromised building structures that lead to horrifying disasters. the rana plaza building in bangladesh was a major factory that supplied clothing for brands like the children's place, zara and walmart. the building was knowingly constructed with substandard materials and upper floors were illegally constructed against construction codes. garment workers complained of cracks in the wall and said they could actually hear the building creak and feel the structure sway when the powerful generators were turned on. a structural engineer was sent out to inspect the building and deemed it unsafe, yet workers were still told to return to work. the next day the factory collapsed killing 1,132 people and injuring over 2,500 people with many trapped under the rubble for days. it was the deadliest garment industry accident in modern history. just a year before the rana plaza tragedy, another garment factory in bangladesh, tazreen fashions, burned down and killed 112 people due to the fact that the building did not have any fire exits
