🏷️ web

I was just testing out the site on firefox 3 release candidate which I assume will be very much like the real firefox 3 being released this afternoon at 1PM and it is very much faster. The only thing that makes me sad is that some of my dev plugins don't work. I am sure they will work in time. Between Safari and Firefox upgrades - I vae no idea how IE is going to keep up with their crap browser and their hillbilly javascript engine.

I was using Google maps street view to drive down linwood when I noticed that it was made with flash/flex. So much for an all javascript solution. It makes me wonder why they just didn't use flash form the get go like yahoo maps. It seems like it would have been a much easier solution to maintain.

I seriously can't imagine dealing with this public relations nightmare. It dwarfs my estrip.org /estrip.com drama. This one hospital our vendor is working with has an angry patient that bought their .com

Check out overlakehospital.org - seems like a nice hospital site.



Hopefully, you get their before you see overlakehospital.com They even cite cases of employees having sex with patients.



They are so screwed. That is what I love about the web - although this is pretty extreme, it shows how one individual can get their perspective out without an entrie publishing company. Think about the devastating effect of this on that hospital. They seriously, could not throw enough million dollar ad campaigns at this problem to make it go away.

Dear globat.com
You suck. Your hosting company sucks. Stop pretending that people like the woman on the front of your website really work their in your customer service dept when it is really all non-native english speakers.



You basically have fucked my stuff up so many times. I hope your company goes out of business.

It makes me so angry that you pretended to put me in collections and then offered to get my account out of fake collections with the promise I pay now and get my files. Then you go ahead and delete my files. Th e only reason I was in collections for so much is because you autorenewed me for a service I never even signed up for.

You guys have no idea how much trouble I have had with them @paul #32201

I spent hundred of hours on the phone with what I thought was india but now I am thinking is stupid eskimos when I used to host estrip at globat. I hate you globat, I hope your data center blows up and all your customers sue you.

That is exactly what happend to me

    Don't get Globat just because they offer low price. You will find fees start adding up and ends up costing more than other hosting service. Read the fine line!!!! Don't get screwed by these guys. For example you have to follow their cancellation policy or you end up paying $286.00 panalty and collection fees.http://www.webhostingjury.com/reviews/Globat

"We discussed a number of alternatives ranging from commercial partnerships to a merger proposal, which you rejected," Microsoft told Yahoo in a letter.

"While a commercial partnership may have made sense at one time, Microsoft believes that the only alternative now is the combination of Microsoft and Yahoo that we are proposing," it said.

I knew this was going to happen. Semmel is leaving and @ajay is going to end up working for microsoft!

A very prominent local technology firm had a flaw in their web based authoring system that put many local buffalo websites at risk. I am not giving any names or details because the flaw is still out here and I don't want to compromise anyones servers and websites, it is amazing if they haven't already been considering the simplicity of this hack.

The flaw was not even a technology flaw but just a very weak security flaw that is totally inexcusable for such a commercial high cost industry. Seriously, I can't freakin' believe it. I wish I could give you more details but it really isn't safe. All the companies involved are at pretty serious hack risk which could effect the integrity of their servers and data, and could infect user computers as well and snoop on data.

God, thinking about it makes me sick. I am so curious to see how they will handle it.

I am just full of journals tonight. Maybe I am going to go back to full time blogging now that I have a lot of time waiting while cooking. I don't care what side of the abortion fence you are on, this is not about that, but about companies lying.

In this information weekly magazine article about Comcast blocking certain type of traffic they also mentioned Verizon was caught blocking people's text messages based on content but it was an accident.

Verizon Wireless apologized for its blocking of an abortion rights group's messages, said the incident was isolated, and said it changed an outdated policy to ensure messages aren't blocked based on their content.

I don't understand how you are supposed to read this.

1. They had some system that let a rogue employee gain access to some filtering system and stopped that accidental access.

2. They wrote a production level program and deployed it that filtered out text messages about abortion rights, but when then they deleted it, they discovered that they had accidentally programmed and deployed it.

3. They had a verbal policy that used to disallow discussion about abortion rights via text message but then when they realized that the policy was an accident, they had already developed and deployed a system that actively filtered abortions rights information out.


If it is a filtering list system, what other words were "accidentally" filtered and who came up with that list. What do you think?

I found this guys website flyer on craigslist and I seriously cannot believe that anyone would do a website for $100. Not as in $100/hour but just $100. For how much work? Is that like slave wages - I man honestly you could make more as a cashier on hourly payments when it comes down to it. Or maybe I am just overestimating quality into it. I guess maybe it is just a CMS but it sounds like s/he customizes to their needs.

I am constantly amazed at advertisements that promise to remove wrinkles. They seem to make the usage of the product do more and more. Remember when they promised to remove fine lines and wrinkles.

But their site looks so trustworthy
I think this one, dermitage can't be real although their website is real pretty. It is one of those sites that give an sense of trust, even if it is fake or not.



Can it be real?
I mean look at the face on the advertisement that gt me thinking about this dermitage site. I don't think anything could help, that is unless they are advertising some sort of face iron. Like can anyone even be that wrinkley without photoshop's help? Why would they make such a horrible advertisement?



Pretend blogs
What I really hate is when companies start blogs to try and pretend someone wrote about their product. An example being dermitage. Clearly, someone from the company wrote this blog at dermitage.blgospot.com
Does anyone believe these kind of pseudo advertisements.

Promises
Here is some information about their scammy promises

stats
Can these quantcast stats be even sort of accurate

I think it is kind of sick when the headline news item in the top news stories on google news about Bhutto being assasinated in Pakistan is that iit rose the price of gold.

Gold rises after Bhutto death, platinum hits record
LONDON (Reuters) - Gold hit a one-month high on Thursday as buying picked up after news that Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto was killed in an attack.
