But porn isn’t the only issue with allowing your kids to have their own computers in their rooms, or accessable when you aren’t around to at least peek over their shoulders every once in a while. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying you shouldn’t let your kids hang out on sites and forums. Just encouraging you to pay attention to what they are saying and doing. Believe it or not, this generation of teens and tweens can completely demolish their standings at school or in social groups, just by their behavior on the net.

Some seem to think that the internet is still “anonymous”, but it’s really not. On sites like myspace and facebook, everyone is encouraged to socialize with people that they already know. This itself makes for a bit of an issue, when your kid thinks it’s ok to start talking about how they are dating some 30 year old man, when they are only 14 or 15 themselves. Rumors spread, stories evolve and next thing you know, you are getting a call from the school about how your child got into a fight because of someone calling them a name or worse.

We should all do our part in raising our own kids. It’s no one’s job but your own. Giving them their own completely unsupervised access to the net is no different than handing them the keys to the car without a license. You need to make it very clear what kind of behavior you expect from them, and take appropriate action when they prove to be otherwise.

Now, I’m not telling you to install some sort of spy software on their pc, but you do need to have some sort of open lines of communication. I remember when I was a teen, I couldn’t say 5 words to my mom openly, without fear of some sort of retribution no matter what the conversation topic was.

On the other hand, if you are worried, maybe you do need to pay attention to what sites they are visiting, see what posts they make on forums, etc. They are your children after all and if an office can do it, I see no problems in keeping tabs on your kids.

Really? Well, I mean, it makes sense, since the xBox live network is being calculated solely on xBox 360 accounts, and the playstation network is an all encompassing set of numbers for both Playstation 3 and PSP.

I’m pretty sure that means that yes, Playstation may be doing better on raw signups, but does that necessarily mean their networks are better?

Here’s just a couple of differences of the pros vs both networks:

PSN pros:

* Free
* Utilized for both PSP and PS3

XBL pros:

* Exclusive downloadable content for games that AREN’T xBox exclusive games
* Exclusive demos for games that AREN’T xBox exclusive games
* Netflix integration

Yes, xBox live costs money, but with that money they are able to negotiate exclusive DLC, along with other major points of content interest such as the netflix deal.

I don’t know about you, but I’d rather pay a whole $50 a year for something that will get used on a daily, or semi daily basis; has excellent uptime; offers unique content, than get a ps3 where I personally don’t know of a single game that is exclusive that I would enjoy enough to justify paying $400 for a console.
