Another Text Spam: 1-949-439-5924

I received another Text Spam message on June 21st, 2010. Don’t bother calling (949) 439-5924 back, because it doesn’t take any phone calls.. All you need to do is to file complaints to FCC because such unsolicited text messages violate CAN-SPAM Act. I inquired AT&T who is my service provider, but they are no help at all.

You should file form 1088G to report this violation. File a complaint on FCC site http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm

You can also call 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-2255-322) voice; 1-888-TELL-FCC (1-888-8355-322) TTY.

The text reads:

Wipe out 55% of credit card, and any unsecured debt. Must be 10K or more. 100% guarantee. To have representative call you, reply – YES

Text-Spam does violate the Communication Act of 1934.

Futurama is Back, Baby!

June 24th, 2010

What a glorious day! We’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time. Well, while some of you were still recovering from waiting in line outside the Apple Store, I’m enjoying new episodes of Futurama! By the way, I cancelled my iPhone 4 order that I supposed to pick up on the 24th.

Two new Futurama episodes air on Comedy Central and I am complaining that they feel too short. I want more!

Anyway, the Premiere Episode of the new season picked up where it left off in “Into The Wild Green Yonder” movie.

Despite of my disapproval of Comedy Central’s handling of South Park episode 200 and 201, I am watching Futurama.

In the meantime, you can collect Futurama DVD’s:

What are you waiting for? You know where to watch Futurama!

Yet another NVIDIA GeForce card bites the dust.

This is the second EVGA NVIDIA GeForce 7600 graphics card I’ve seen having blown capacitors. Well, the mystery was solved a while back. Both cards had failing cooling fan; thus it overheated and goes kaput. This particular one actually is a little bit burned. Well, see it for yourself.

This card might be a 7600 GS model with FZ74 capacitors.

Anyway, it is apparent that the heatsink fan is not that good and prone to failure.

I’ll post more pictures later.

Apple announces that making (white) iPhone 4 is hard.

Apple has just announced that white iPhone 4 would not be available until the second half of July, 2010 citing manufacturing issues. OK, I’ll be understanding about that. But then Apple said the following in their statement:

The availability of the more popular iPhone 4 black models is not affected.

Seriously Apple? There’s only one color available for pre-order and that is black. You cannot say that it is “more popular” because no one has the option to buy the other color up to this point.

Anyway, you either can wait for the white iPhone 4 or get the black model.
