So it begins, the protest against SOPA and PIPA.
More info on LinkedIn spam.
We received more informations on the spam purporting from LinkedIn. It is obvious the emails do not come from LinkedIn. Email sender can easily be spoofed.
From the email headers:
Received: from static.3.100.40.188.clients.your-server.de ([188.40.100.3])
Received: from titan361.startdedicated.com ([62.75.229.17])

The spam even dares to say:
Stop spamming me!
If you see any mails purporting from LinkedIn, do not click on any of the links. As a matter of fact, make it a habit not to click on any links in emails.
Spam disguised as email via LinkedIn.
A few people told us they have been getting email purportedly coming via LinkedIn. Do not blindly click any links in your email.
OS X Lion: Error opening terminal: xterm-256color
OS X Lion > Terminal.app > Error opening terminal: xterm-256color
I encountered this error when issuing the commands:
- ssh
- pico
- nano
There might be other commands affected by this error.
A quick Google search shows that the problem lies within /usr/share/terminfo/ folder. The answers that solved my problem is:

I replaced the “terminfo” folder from OS X Lion installer but the problem persisted. So I downloaded it from the link provided in the Apple Discussions Board. It solved the problem.
Weird backlighting pattern on MacBook Pro screen.
I wonder why the MacBook Pro screen shows a weird backlighting pattern.
After a while the backlighting becomes normal.
It’s Alive!
I had been keeping a MacBook Pro with a faulty Logic Board for a while now. I kept it because it had a perfectly working LCD screen. A few days ago my colleague told me that he was getting rid off a MacBook Pro which had a broken screen, dead battery and some other problems. I told him that I would like to harvest the working parts. So I spent a few hours combining parts from the two MacBook Pros.
What I need to get for this MacBook Pro are new battery, 4 GB of RAM and new hard drive; the currently installed 80 GB hard drive is not enough. Perhaps I should install an SSD. I’ll figure it out tomorrow. For now I installed OS X Lion on this MacBook Pro. I was having a little trouble installing OS X. I am saving that for another post.
