The Only IM Program that You Need


Tired of installing separate Instant Messenging software.
In the past I've recommended Trillian.
But now you have a choice of two others who do the job as well.
No more installing Instant messengers like AOL, Yahoo, MSN, ICQ, Gtalk.

Try one of the following IM software and make your life simple.

Ajamix
Trillian
Meebo

my Favorite Meebo - no software to install

Yes Porn sites do have domains. And if everything goes well. New domain sites for Porn will end in .xxx

Google goes Wifi

News is that Google looks like it's going to go Wifi. They are seeking to get into the service provider business. I don't know if that's a good stand for Google. But hey you never know. I hope that whatever they choose to do. They know when enough is enough and hopefully they'll get out of the business if enough profits are not being generated.
Google you should learn from rivals like Microsoft and American Online. They're making no money now and they are struggling to be on top. Google stay unique and try not to get into too many sectors. Because this will be your down fall.

What's the Big Deal on Zabra Search

The big deal about Zabra search is public domain. What happens is that if someone types a first and last name. They can easily find your address and telephone number.
Many people are upset about this because they feel like their privacy are violated.
Hello the telephone company has been doing this for years. If they are not going to get the information from the Zabra search site they are going to get this information from some where else. Go figure why they're upset, when this is been available for years, ever hear of 411 - information or the White Pages. Just because certain information in not given to the entire public does not mean they don't have access to it. Public domain is public domain.
I have a good example for you. Let's say you type in Bill Gates. Well Bill Gates is really William Gates. And guess what he's not on the listing. So what does that tell you. The information is only available for certain individuals.

Nintendo's new controller

Before I even played the video I was like so what. Afterwards I was like wow.
Nintendo is going in a new direction and I wish them the best. Sony and X-box are still ahead of them. But I do admit it's nice to see that they're trying to compete and get at least a piece of the gaming market.

Do Not Call Registry

This site gets swamped at times but every now and then your able to get in and register your telephone number so that telemarketers cannot call you with these annoying announcements.

From what I'm being told from a Mobile PC magazine is that you should register your cell phone number so that you make sure your not on the Telemarketers Call ME list.
So make sure you do so and have confirm with your confirmation email to tell you your phone is on the do not call list for five years. From there on you have to re-register again.
