Dating: Top 5 Tips for Both Men and Women

After interviewing gurus that counsel both men and women on dating, we noticed something that was quite curious. Some of their dating advice was actually gender-neutral and could be applied to both sexes. As we see it, good advice is good advice.
Here are the top five dating tips for both men and women:
1)       Be Open Minded: The number one rule we have heard from both sides of the fence is to go into every date with an open mind. Your ideal partner, based on your personal checklist, may be completely different from the person that you could be truly compatible with. Everyone has this warped sense of who their perfect partner should be, but when interviewing countless older couples who have been married for more than 50 years – their life partners were completely different from the person they initially imagined.
2)       Don’t Research Before a First Date: In these days of Google and Facebook, it’s easy to be tempted to do a little research before you even go out on a first date. Don’t do it! You’ll get a false impression of the person, and can make strong judgments without even knowing him/her yet.
3)       Don’t Bring Baggage: Avoid talking about old relationships, negative experiences, etc. Have those conversations only after several dates. There is little to gain by dwelling on the past.
4)       Be Honest About Yourself: You can avoid specific topics early on, but don’t lie about things. Starting a relationship based on lies is never a good idea.

5)       Leave on a High Note: Keep a first date short, and it’s always better to leave on a high note. Meeting for coffee or a meal is great, but don’t make long drawn out plans for another date – excuse yourself and say goodbye. Better to leave the person wanting more.

Carriers commit to kill switches by 2015, but ruin implementation to protect profit

This week, the major telecommunications carriers in the United States finally agreed to make a mandatory “kill switch” option available on all cell phones by 2015. It’s a move that has been praised as a long time coming and slammed as incremental. However, it has also been resisted in certain corners by those who feel that the option will be abused. No one disputes that mobile phone theft is on the rise. The San Francisco police department has reported that a whopping 67% of all theft cases are related to mobile devices; 10% of phone owners have reportedly had a device stolen at some point. Consumer Reports claims that 1.2 million phones were stolen in 2012, with 3.1 million reported thefts in 2013. The question is whether a manufacturer-enabled “kill switch,” a method of disabling a device remotely, would be an effective means of short-circuiting a thriving market in stolen devices. US carriers have previously balked at manufacturer-implemented kill switches. Sam...
