Snow Leopard is on its way.

I have not moved my MobileMe account to iCloud yet for many reasons. Anyway, Apple offered me a free copy of Snow Leopard so I can upgrade to Lion. I already have OS X Lion on one of my Macs, but that’s beside the point. Let’s say I’m doing this for science.

Apple is mailing a copy of Mac OS X Snow Leopard to me and sent me the following email:

1. Get your free DVD of Snow Leopard
After you install Snow Leopard on your Mac, run Software Update from the Apple Menu to get Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with the Mac App Store.

2. Next, upgrade to Lion
Open the Mac App Store from the Dock and purchase Lion for $29.99.* The installer will download to the Dock and automatically launch.

3. You’re ready to move to iCloud
Your Mac is now ready for iCloud. Visit me.com/move from a Mac or PC to make the move to iCloud.

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:
