I tried restarting a remote computer and I got this message:
Windows Explorer is not responding
Spammer Alert: milkcheesedns.com
I have tried contacting eNom.com regarding domain names used for sending spam and I haven’t had any positive responses. eNom.com always passing the responsibility because eNom.com does not provide hosting for the offending domain names.
Every time I tried reporting the offending domain through eNom.com page (http://www.enom.com/terms/AbusePolicy.asp) it always returned an error.
Why wouldn’t Domain Registrar such as eNom.com take the reports seriously. For example the following domains are registered by the same individual based through eNom.com or namecheap.com:
- plotladybugreward.net
- teethgood-byelumber.net
- spadesunmeasure.org
- frogzephyrmint.com
- cameraspadetoad.net
- timehotwood.org
- yardwristgoose.net
- fatherbrakebushes.org
All the domains have similar whois info:

One more reason to avoid Facebook.
Ars Technica reports:
Facebook is trying to expand its trademark rights over the word “book” by adding the claim to a newly revised version of its “Statement of Rights and Responsibilities,” the agreement all users implicitly consent to by using or accessing Facebook.
The newly revised paragraph:
“You will not use our copyrights or trademarks (including Facebook, the Facebook and F Logos, FB, Face, Poke, Book and Wall), or any confusingly similar marks, except as expressly permitted by our Brand Usage Guidelines or with our prior written permission.”
Seriously, Facebook needs to go away before it asserts trademark on common words. At least more people should avoid Facebook.
Scumbag Tech Elitist: Open Source
New feature called “Scumbag Tech Elitist” premiers with this post.
Topic: Open Source
Scumbag Tech Elitist preaches about Open Source, why it is better and why he supports it. Scumbag Tech Elitist blathers on and on why he likes Android and makes one big endorsement because it is Open Source.
Scumbag Tech Elitist then endorses SquareSpace while badmouthing WordPress.
Wait a minute Mr. Scumbag Tech Elitist,
- WordPress is an Open Source Project.
- There are no mentions that SquareSpace is an Open Source Project. It is never declared as an Open Source Project.
- There are self-install WordPress.org and fully hosted WordPress.com.
- SquareSpace is a sponsor of Scumbag Tech Elitist.
Well that is too convenient, Mr. Scumbag Tech Elitist.
What Would Apple Do?
Apple, with Tim Cook at the helm has just announced its latest iPad on march 7th, 2012. As always, any Apple announcement is followed with cheers from the die-hard fans and criticism from the detractors.
A few criticisms on the iPad announcement hone in on the naming of the iPad, the slogan and the color of Apple log at the announcement. It all can be summarized into one sentence:
Steve Jobs would never approve this.
Seriously?
How do they know?
Do they actually performed some kind of seance to communicate to the late Apple co-founder and get his definite opinion? Maybe they hired a psychic named Shawn Spencer, thinking that he’s a real psychic.
During Steve Jobs memorial service at Apple headquarter in Cupertino, Tim Cook said:
Among his last advice he had for me, and for all of you, was to never ask what he would do. “Just do what’s right,”
It is irrelevant if Steve Jobs would approve or disapprove what the new iPad name is. Apple is doing what they think is right.
Pundits are disappointed because it is not iPad 3 or iPad HD.
It seems like a joke, but there are several pundits who are insinuating that Apple is on the road to ruin because it is not iPad 3 or iPad HD. The sad part is that these pundits are getting paid to write such nonsense. It is the same situation when Apple opted to use the moniker iPhone 4S instead of the much expected iPhone 5.
It is funny how these same pundits did not criticize the ridiculous naming system from other phone makers.
There is no need give these over-paid logic-impaired some page hit, thus I opted not to link to them. It is pretty easy to search for them.
Retina Display is the new 4G.
Apple has done it!
The term “Retina Display” is the new 4G; just a marketing term.
From GDGT live report:
“There are 264 pixels per inch in this display, and that’s enough to call it a Retina Display. Why is that?”
“You may recall that with an iPhone held at a normal distance your retina can’t discern individual pixels. When the iPad is held at a normal distance [15-inches] it’s the same result.”
That’s basically saying the new iPad has to be held 15-inches away, if not Retina Display won’t be in effect. A lot if not an overwhelmingly majority of people hold the iPad closer than 15 inches.
I thus claim that my TV has also has “Retina Display” because no one can see the pixels when they are sitting at least 10 feet away.
