Telemarketer Text Spam from (310) 694-7870
Another Telemarketer text spam just hit my mobile phone. It doesn’t matter if you’re on the do-not-call list because they actually never called you; they just texted you.
The latest one that came to my phone is from (310) 694-7870 and it says:
Dear homeowner, if you are struggling to make your mortgage payment or have a recent hardship, a modification can help. Would you like to learn more about this?
A query on Google reveals that others have also received such text message.
If you received such text messages, file a complaint to FCC (http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm).

I just picked up the new Aluminum Apple Remote from the Apple Store.
I have some ideas with the new Apple Remote.
In addition to that the Apple Store South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, California has officially ditched the Windows CE EasyPay systems. Now they are using the iPod touch base check-out system.

Megadeth and Slayer are joining forces for the American Carnage Tour.
Megadeth and Slayer camps just announced “The American Carnage Tour” for early 2010.
From the Press Release: (Megadeth.com | Slayer.net)
“American Carnage” is the first time that Slayer and Megadeth will have toured the U.S. together since 1991’s epic “Clash of the Titans” tour. To celebrate that and in recognition of the tough economic times that many of their fans are having, Megadeth and Slayer have decided to roll back the price of a chunk of tickets at every U.S. show to the “1991 price” of $10.00. These specially-priced tickets will be limited and when they’re gone, they’re gone. Megadeth has also teamed with iloveallaccess.com to provide an Ultimate Fan Package including premium seats, meet and greets, pre-show parties and more.
In addition, Testament – who was also on the “Clash of the Titans” bill, will be Special Guests on the entire tour, marking the first time that all three bands have shared a stage together in more than 18 years, and making this a “must see” metal event.

Know your rights.
What is ACTA?
It stands for Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement.
Read more about ACTA on Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and decide if you should care about it.
Why You Should Care About It
ACTA has several features that raise significant potential concerns for consumers’ privacy and civil liberties, for innovation and the free flow of information on the Internet, legitimate commerce, and for developing countries’ ability to choose policy options that best suit their domestic priorities and level of economic development.
