Here is my story.
I have a business partner that most people find very charming, and rather simple. But that is deceiving to say the least and he is far from simple. Over the last year and say four months I would overlook what I viewed as exaggerations and tall tale telling on his behalf. Recently I had to confront him for what I saw as inappropriate sexual behavior towards me ( I am a lesbian and he is straight ), which he denied and I had to list about 4 incidents to get him to admit it. Also I caught him in two lies regarding our business that have led to some major discussions between us. Remember he is adept at placing the blame everywhere and direct questions are met with evasion. Even with direct proof he will evade and dismiss. Also a week ago it was brought to my attention by a computer geek that someone is accessing my computer without my knowledge and going through personal files. There was something irregular that came up on my computer that alarmed me. I am still investigating this one, but I will give you one guess on who I suspect. Normally I would just end my association with such an individual and jettison their ass to the curb, BUT suddenly, because a friend of mine connected me with two major players in our industry in the past two weeks, we are on the verge of being very, and I mean very successful with a product my business partner created and I marketed. And there are two other products that he created and I marketed that I learned this week are going to sell as well. Because of the financial/time investment I cannot simply walk away. I always knew the products would be a success but I never bargained for thisâ¦any thoughts, ideas or suggestions?
Mark, I knew you would answer this well my Aussie friend and it makes the most sense to me for a number of reasons. First and foremost it is true that everyone lies. I have lied to spare another person something painful, which is perhaps my rationalization or because I did not want an argument to ensue, but if I am asked a question directly I have always answered itâ¦it is the lies of omission I am speaking about. Yet IMO there are âcore issuesâ at stake with lies and business and it IS my reputation, and naturally because of my realization about my business partner ( who cares if I was slow in putting it together..lol ) it has made me ask a lot more questions, and conduct a lot more investigation, and most of all to be very clear in my communication. True, the bottom line is there are no friends in business and to think otherwise is an illusion. Perhaps this is one reason this all came to pass. My Disneyworld mentality needed to go.

I think you need to ask yourself is if the business relationship worth the aggravation of dealing with this individual.
If you decide it is, then steel yourself for more of the same and make sure -everything- is in writing.
As for inappropriate searching of your computer, either don't leave it where he can get it, or keep your personal info off of it (offload it to dvds or external harddisks) which you can store in a safe location.
It will also help to establish an exit strategy. Work out how you will get out of this situation with the maximum financial benefit. Then if he crosses the line implement your plan.
Seems to me the biggest problem is not knowing what is going to happen next. The more you can control events, the better you are going to feel.

What do i need to connect my Wifi to my Dell inspironOne?

I just got the Dell InspironOne and having trouble connecting my wifi for internet. Do I need a wireless card in order for Wifi to be compatible. Or can I just even hook up my Ethernet cable. Please help with easy steps. Not so much of a computer geek. Thanks.
P.s I really want Wifi to be more compatible. Since I do use wifi more with my laptop and ipod touch.
Answer
You need a wireless router if you want to receive wifi signals to your netbook. You said you have another laptop and an iPod touch. Where are they getting the wifi signal from?
If you already have a wireless router, all you need is to get the wifi password from your other laptop by running this on that other laptop:

Or go to that other laptop, click on the wifi signal on the taskbar, right click on the connection and see the wifi password.
If your new laptop isn't picking up the wifi signal then the wifi adapter is probably switched off to save power. Read the manual for more info.
