Live from Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park, It’s Tuesday Morning!

Apple-Special-Event-September-2017.jpg

Apple is set to hold its first event at the Steve Jobs Theater at Apple Park today, September 12, 2017.

With the recent leaks, one can only wonder if Apple would have any surprises at all. According to an Apple employee who is definitely not Phil Schiller (@pschiller), *wink-wink*, there is one definite surprise for the event. There are some who call it a “preview”.

Apple will be streaming the event live at Apple.com and Apple TV.

 

Dreamhost is under DDoS Attack

NOTE:
Earlier, we were unable to published the post here because at its current incarnation, 37prime is hosted by Dreamhost. We posted one at our WordPress.com-hosted blog.

From @Dreamhost:

“Our engineers have identified the cause of the DNS degradation as a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. dreamhoststatus.com

Dreamhost is currently in the news as the Department of Justice “demands that DreamHost hand over 1.3 million visitor IP addresses” for a site hosted by the company.

Wordfence chimed in:

The DDoS appears to be unrelated to the DoJ request above. It looks like it may be an Anonymous attack targeting the Dreamhost DNS to try to take a white supremacist website called ‘punishedstormer dot com’ offline. The website came online today and is hosted at Dreamhost.

We will closely follow this news.

Carlos Alazraqui: Q&A – Birthplace (Video)

Carlos Alazraqui sent the continuation to the video he recorded earlier in December 2009. There has been some dispute in Wikipedia regarding his Birthplace. Some Wikipedia editors insisted that Carlos was born in Sacramento, California citing information from IMDB. Some Wikipedia editors said that Carlos was born in Yonkers, New York.

In this video, Carlos set the record straight.

Carlos: “The real answer is I was born in Yonkers, New York. And then very quickly moved to Northern California. Raised and grew up in Concord, California…….”

There you go, IMDB is incorrect. Wikipedia Editors who said Yonkers, New York are correct.

Pump-and-Dump Scammer is still at it.

Pump-and-Dump-Spam.jpg

Within the last 150 minutes, our spam filter caught more than 40 Pump-and-Dump email spam; the same ones from April 11, 2017.

Pump-and-Dump email spam typically comes in waves with randomly generated sender names. It is really easy to spot as it promises the potential collaborating-victim a quick scheme to make money. Based on our statistics, the scammer sends the email spam with two different subject lines and contents each day. If you happened to receive this kind of email spam, you would see multiple emails from different senders with the same exact subject line and content. They are really easy to spot.

You can help fighting the spammer by using services such as SpamCop.net.
