Is Yahoo Really Working On A Way For Members To Take Over An Abandoned Group?


I’ve read messages on here that are 2, 3 and more years old saying that Yahoo is working on a way for members to take over Yahoo email groups that are abandoned by their owners. It seems like it would be simple to do with these steps created by Yahoo:
1. Create a button for members to click to tell Yahoo’s computer system that the members think the owner has abandoned them.
2. When 2 group members have clicked on that “I’m abandoned” button, Yahoo would automatically send an email message to the owner asking them to reply to Yahoo with a special code or to a special website
3. If no reply is received from the owner, repeated email attempts to contact the owner would occur once per week for 2 months (in case they are on a long vacation with no email access).
4. If no reply is received from the owner during that 2 months time, the people who told Yahoo about the abandoned group would be made owners of the group.
A good option would be for the members to be able to vote for one of their own to take over the list of an abandoned group. This could be done by adding a “I vote for the following people to be in charge of this group” box, next to the button for members to click to tell Yahoo’s computer that the members think the owner has abandoned them.
1. Yahoo could have a pull-down menu of all members in that group, to be selected by the members reporting the abandoned group.
2. Yahoo should send an email (with a reminder a week or two later) to everyone in that group, telling them that 2 members reported that the group had been abandoned. These messages could give the name, ID and/or email address of the owners, asking all members to contact them, if they know them, urging them to assign someone else to be the owner, or become an active owner again.
3. The people with the three top number of votes from the group members would all become owners of the group. Hopefully with three owners, there would be very few abandoned groups in the future.
I ask again, is Yahoo really working on a way for members to take over an abandoned group?

Who Designs And Installs The Display/ Computer Systems Seen In Films?


Think any big budget thriller- Transformers, Source Code, – etc. who designs and installs the video display and computer system in the classic “military command center” scenes?
Are multiple companies involved in designing the graphic content vs. specifying and installing the physical components (monitors, video walls, displays)? I am currently a theatre major, but I work in the multimedia center in my college as well. I am very interested in finding more out about this niche as it seems displays are proliferating everywhere (and films are no exception!) Thanks for your help!

Is It Possible To Be A Victim Of Identity Theft And Not Know It Immediately?


Also called “carding” or “spoofing,” the practice known as “phishing” is a high-tech scam in which identity thieves pose as legitimate businesses and services and request your personal information, which they may use to assume various forms of legal or financial responsibility in your name. Most often, these requests come in the form of e-mails or pop-up screens that ask you to validate or update your personal information. E-mail scams may also carry worms or viruses that can further harm you by planting potentially damaging viruses in your computer system. They look legitimate, and they direct you to official-looking Web pages that seem to be created by or affiliated with organizations with whom you do business. Unfortunately, they’re not. Remember: legitimate companies will not send you e-mails asking for sensitive personal information. Do not reply to such e-mails or click on any links in these messages. When in doubt, contact the company directly by phone.
