Some of you may like this new feature. for me I do like the pinning of specific senders however having the focus and other tabs annoys me to no end. I did some digging and found out how to disable it.

Security Warning for TD Customers
Today I 925 am I got a call from TD claiming that my card was lost or stolen or possibly compromised. They told me to stay on the line and they would ask some security questions. I immediately hung up thinking it was a phishing scam. I called the TD Customer service number and waited on the line for 18 minutes. In the meantime I googled the phone number 1-866-975-0925 and found it was in fact TD.
I call them back and sat on the queue, once a rep answered I explained to him what happened and told him that if he could not find anything then possibly there was an internal phishing scam within TD as which he responded that possibly it was not TD that called me. I iterated the phone # that called me and he continued looking. After a few minutes he came back on the line and said he had not found anything. I told him if he could still not find anything that I needed his employee number and then needed to be transferred to a manager. After a few minutes he transferred me to a manager so assuming he still found nothing. When I reached the manager I then asked for the previous employees reference # 507644. He then told me that he found that they mis-dialed the number and it was for another customer. His employee reference # is 507 699. I asked him what was going to be done to resolve this situation in future and he said he could not tell me that. Thus I am writing this article to tell others to be aware of these calls and dont provide security information. Rather hang up and dial the number that called you. Ask to speak immediately to a manager and confirm they were calling you before providing any information.
I am looking forward to hearing from TD regarding this situation and how they are going to resolve it in future. I am not currently a TD customer but if I was and I answered the security questions on the phone, it would have given that person access to my account to do whatever. This is an extreme privacy and security breach to customers. If I hear a response from TD I will keep you posted. If you dont see and additional comments then you know that there was not resolution and should be very careful when dealing with TD.

Entrepreneurs should be Kind not Nice :)
As I am starting up my new venture TechGuilds.com, I have heard this from quite a few people but this article explains it really well. Susan Fischer sent it over to me today. Happy Birthday Susan and thanks.
Hey, Entrepreneurs: How To Stop Being Too Nice & Start Making Money
My first reaction to the title was a little upsetting until I took a closer look. Being nice is not the same as being kind.
Kindness, however, allows for human interaction without the loss of integrity. We don’t have to give up anything to be kind. Instead we can remain direct yet empathetic.
This article is a must read for anyone starting up a new venture. Please pass on the link to anyone and everyone regardless of whether they are just starting or have been at it for years. You never know who can be helped.
If you have any tips, tricks or resources for starting a new venture please pass them on. My email is chrisw_88@hotmail.com I am open to any advice you are willing to share.
