Health Care: The Real Fiscal Nightmare

A heated discussion is taking place in the economic blogsphere over the rival tax plans of Presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain. Of course, the battle of rival tax blueprints has been in force ever since the two hopefuls sewed up their respective nominations, but a new round of fighting recently erupted. A number of important points have been made. But the fiscal policy dispute, while informative and fascinating, has focused too much on tax regimes and not enough on the real challenge: health care. When it comes to domestic, nonmilitary fiscal policy in the new millennium, everything is dwarfed by health care.

iPhone 3G Gets Hot and Melty, Cooks Dude's Leg

While the iPhone 3G definitely feels warmer than the original, it shouldn't get hot enough to cook human flesh. Or melt. But a MacRumors forum member says he fell asleep with his iPhone 3G in his pocket and woke up when he felt a burning sensation in his pants (not the good kind either). He says he pulled out the phone, which was incredibly hot. Like, plastic-meltingly hot. Check out the damage to the dock connector (and his leg), where you can really see the bubbly, heat-warped plastic:

Hot Water, Hot Earth

Calopteryx notes a New Scientist article on the discovery of "supercritical" water emerging from a vent in the Atlantic Ocean at 407 deg. C (765 deg. F). One of its discoverers actually said, "It's water, but not as we know it"; it's the hottest water ever found on earth. The cause seems to be a huge bubble of magma beneath the ocean floor, 3 km below the sea surface. Meanwhile Nymz shares a journal entry on a hot spot on land: a 2-acre patch in Ventura county, in California, that has heated up to 433 deg. C (812 deg. F). Here geologists blame buried hydrocarbons burning as they get access to air through cracks in the ground. That high temperature was measured a foot below the ground surface.

Five steps to securing mobile data for HIPAA compliance

Workforce mobility presents new challenges to health care IT groups responsible for HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) security compliance. Though these groups are well-versed in the planning, implementation, support and monitoring required to maintain control of laptop and desktop systems, they are often ill-equipped to provide the same level of oversight for smartphones and PDAs. Health care organizations seeking to build a best-practice mobile environment must often integrate disparate device management, data security and help desk solutions to support a variety of devices. Federal regulations and guidelines clearly outline the sensitive information that IT must be in control of, but as the latest technologies rapidly enter the health care environment, many times the convenience and “cool� factor, or end-us
