10 razones por las que no te contratarían
While you may not have heard of Compal, it’s possible that you’re reading this post on a laptop computer or desktop monitor manufactured by them. They manufacture computers for more familiar names like Dell, Compaq, HP, and… Toshiba.
Toshiba blamed the “harsh price competition” in the television market for their struggle to turn a profit from selling TVs in North America. It will also seek similar licensing agreements with another manufacturer for its television products in other countries. Instead of bothering with the television business, the company will simply rent out its name to Compal. This could work out badly if Compal sells subpar televisions.
Our alert colleagues down the hall at Consumer Reports had the same question that we did: who will handle repairs and distribute parts for Toshiba TVs sold under the older regime? Toshiba will continue to sell computers in the United States, so it may be able to provide service and sell remaining parts through that operation.

Yes, it seems obvious, but the key is to watch specifically for these deals. Sometimes the savings can be substantial. Travis Pizel over at Money Ning started to keep track of bonus gift card deals when he came across them, and encountered quite a few in just a month or so of looking. They even included local restaurants, which he found as part of a package deal at Costco where $100 worth of gift cards cost $80, an immediate 20% off discount.
Other deals that he discovered were mostly at national chain restaurants, like Outback Steakhouse (an extra $20 gift card if you buy a $100 card) or the same promotion at Red Lobster. One tricky transaction is at Buffalo Wild Wings, where there’s a time limit on the second gift card: you can’t use both in the same transaction.
You’re saving exactly zero dollars, of course, if you buy gift cards that you’ll never use, or that force you to go somewhere you don’t like.

We all kind of know that credit card data isn’t terribly secure, and that the payment information is likely to get swiped eventually. But that information is all theoretically anonymous. Without a name, address, or ZIP code attached, our credit card information doesn’t say much about us personally, right? Wrong.
A study released by researchers at MIT this week shows just how easy to spot almost all of us our just by our spending, the AP reports.
The research team wanted to know: how much “anonymized” data would it take to identify you? If your ZIP code and name and all other identifying information are stripped away, how many records does someone need to figure out who you are?
The answer is: four. At most. Three, if at least one price is included.
That’s all it takes to pick you out of a crowd with over 90% accuracy, the research team found.
Any three or four transactions can give you away, and it doesn’t have to be anything fancy like air travel. Kleenex, coffee, and a sandwich? If the researchers could see the price for any one of those items, they could figure out who it was doing the spending.
The researchers looked at transaction information from 10,000 retailers (not in the U.S.), with each piece of data time-stamped. They were then able basically to reverse engineer identities from spending:
As an example, the researchers wrote about looking at data from September 23 and 24 and who went to a bakery one day and a restaurant the other. Searching through the data set, they found there could be only person who fits the bill – they called him Scott. The study said, “and we now know all of his other transactions, such as the fact that he went shopping for shoes and groceries on 23 September, and how much he spent.”
The study also found that it was easier to identify women than men by their spending alone, though did not determine why that is.
The complete lack of anonymity in “anonymized” data is a major area of concern for privacy experts and even the FTC. The ability for “non personally identifiable” data to in fact personally identify basically everyone is, at best, a hazard to privacy and, at worst, downright menacing. If you buy things less innocuous than a muffin — like medical supplies — you probably don’t want every company in the world able to follow your digital breadcrumbs and figure out who you are.
