We believe that SOPA and PIPA greatly undermine the First and Fourth Amendments of the United States Constitution.

CES 2012 Report January 8, 2012
Posted by very in : Media, News, Tech , add a commentSince none of us officially at CES 2012, we won’t be pretending to cover it. There are a lot of sites out there actually providing CES 2102 coverage. Sites such as The Verge, Engadget and TWiT are actually at CES covering the event. By the way, does anyone know if Gizmodo were given any credentials for CES this year?
IF there’s anything interesting from CES 2012, we will be talking about it. Definitely we won’t pretend to report from CES floor.

This lump of coal is for Go Daddy. December 24, 2011
Posted by very in : Announcement, Media, News, Resources, Tech , add a commentAs reported before, Go Daddy says that they no longer supports SOPA. Reddit user benbread doubts that Go Daddy truly drops SOPA support. Now another hammer drops on Go Daddy’s real stance on SOPA.
From Reddit: Go Daddy has NOT withdrawn its official congressional support for SOPA as linked in Hacker News.
Go Daddy’s statement on no longer supporting SOPA is a damage control. A PR move to convince their customer from leaving. At this point based on what people had found, Go Daddy still supports SOPA just not publicly.
On the other hand, there is still this Protect IP Act we all have to worry about.
Go Daddy, you might find lump of coals in your stocking tonight.

Stopping the bleeding. December 23, 2011
Posted by very in : Announcement, Media, News, Resources, Tech , add a commentPreviously on the Internet and real world:
- Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) bill was introduced.
- SOPA is proved to be unpopular.
- GoDaddy supports SOPA, faces boycott.
- Reddit user(s) boycott Go Daddy.
- Cheezburger’s Ben Huh supports the movement to boycott Go Daddy.
- Wikipedia’s Jimmy Wales is moving Wikipedia domain names away from Go Daddy.
- The boycott continues.
- Go Daddy say that they no longer supports SOPA.
- Reddit user benbread doubts that Go Daddy truly drops SOPA support.
Go Daddy’s announcement of dropping support SOPA is clearly a move to stop the bleeding. There will still be a lot of people moving their services away from Go Daddy. I apparently have one domain name for Google App registered through Go Daddy, not by choice. So who should I move it to?
