Every Year, Google sends some gifts to their clients and publishers for their hard work. This year Google is doing something different, and very cool.

Black Friday, Cyber Monday – Results Mixed

As we look back at this recession, we (at least I) hope to see encouraging Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales – indicators that we are passed the recession and are on a solid road to recovery.
Online sales reports have been in, and we are seeing an 11% rise in sales from last year [...]

Windows 7 > Mac OS X

Looks like Windows 7 has single-handedly surpasses Mac OS X market share.. and yes, that’s ALL Max OS X versions.

Technorati Removing Blogs from System

I’ve noticed this happened to a lot of people.. while I don’t really care about Technorati enough to make a fuss (I own 5 blogs and they have all been removed), but its unnerving to see this happening, especially to all the blogs out there that play the linking game to try and work their [...]

Paypal website Gets Hijacked?

This morning I went to access my paypal, and noticed when I visited paypal.com, I got a “page could not be found” error. That’s a bit weird… a big huge site like Paypal, which carries tons of secure data and has a lot of people that need to use it ASAP, is rarely down. So [...]

The legacy is over… The huge torrent site known as The Pirate Bay has been shut down on and off over the day as their largest ISP was required to pull the plug on the webserving or face a large fine. The Pirate Bay is negotiating with companies to acquire licenses to distribute software legally, [...]

Twitter Outage Continues…

Twitter, the latest internet microblogging Phenom, continues its problems this morning with outages from a denial of service attack which has kept the website out of comission on and off since 6am Pacific Time.
As many have said before me.. if Twitter intends to continue to be a big player in this game, they will [...]
