Some good news for Yahoo email users…
Yahoo Inc said on Sunday it was giving its e-mail users more ways to reach friends and online contacts by allowing them to trade messages with mobile phone users.
The new e-mail-to-phone connection is one of the features the Internet media giant plans to add as it makes available to the more than 250 million Yahoo Mail users a new version of the world`s most popular e-mail program in coming weeks.
There was a big Skype outaga last week. And now we see a problem in Windows Genuine Advantage. Technology is so interesting, that’s for sure.
Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) is an anti-piracy system enacted by Microsoft that enforces Microsoft Windows online validation of the authenticity of several recent Microsoft operating systems when accessing several Microsoft Windows services, such as Windows Update, and downloading from the Microsoft Download Center.
We contacted our sources at Microsoft, who told us off the record that the company is aware of a major WGA server outage affecting users across the globe. The Windows Genuine Advantage support forum has exploded with complaints, as a result, and Phil Liu, WGA project manager, says that he won’t sleep until the problem is fixed. Windows Vista and XP are affected, 32- and 64-bit versions.
Microsoft is telling users who are affected that they should “try again” later, with some support techs telling readers that Microsoft is aiming to have a fix in place by Tuesday, August 28. That would mean the outage will last more than three days, given that it started last night (and may have started earlier; we’re hearing reports of some users running into this earlier in the week, on limited bases).
I just got an Unlimited data plan from MAXIS on my mobile. I pretty much do not need my computer anymore since I do so much with my mobile phone. The neatest thing is that I can even watch naughty movies:) It is pretty neat, it’s called Mobile TV. All I do is point my phone to sexoncell.com and they have adult mobile movies in different formats like 3gp movies, symbian, pda or whatever. If you have any other cool sites, please let me know! This one, though, even has a free daily mobile movie.
According to PC World article that I saw recently, “cell phone makers are speeding the path to higher speed data downloads over wireless networks”…”With the upgrades to 7.2M bps the HSDPA technology isn’t done yet. ” Most usage is for streaming video, especially mobile adult TV. Sex on Cell TV reports rapidly growing demand for their mobile videos.
Now I have seen that TextLA’s affiliate program works better than many other associate programs. Maybe since its designed for bloggers, here both parties are bloggers; advertisers are bloggers and publishers are bloggers too. Or more in general term, they are all webmasters, people who own websites. Text Link Ads Affiliate Program works for adesblog and even the famous John Chow.
Also, the payout is not bad either. TLA gives $25 per referred person, whether you refer advertiser or another publisher, it’s the same. So far I have earned $175. It’s more or less, one person a month for me. It’s not a huge money maker, but it’s a program that works for me.
John Chow, millionaire blogger from Canada tells us which affiliate program is earning him the most money….It seems that Text Link Ads came out tops. I’ve been using them for quite some time now and I’m not making as much as he does. WOW, John made $2,175 in July 2007. What are you waiting for – join the Text Link Ads Affiliate Program now !
TLA is offering new Advertisers $100 in free Text Link Ads.

Intel has released their new CPU – Intel Core 2 Extreme X7900. According to engadget, the chip might offer a 800MHz front-side-bus, throw out 44-watts of power, and arrive at OEMs unlocked and overclock too.
Intel opened GC Press Day with a press conference, announcing the Core 2 Extreme X7900. This processor relies on the old 65 nanometre die codenamed Merom, but with updated specs. Unlike most of the models, X7900 gets to its 2.8GHz clock using the 800 MHz FSB, and 667 MHz should become thing of the past. Thermal envelope of 45W was held with this part as well, since it eats up 44W of current.
Here’s a great piece on how you can protect yourself from Credit Card Scams.
What was a pleasant dinner with family in a nice restaurant turned later into a nightmare for one American, according to an Internet story.
His credit-card bill reflected charges running up to several hundred dollars immediately after that evening that he did not make.
Eventually, of course, he managed to sort out the problem but it took a while. In the meantime, because his card was “maxed out,” he could not use it.
People who use credit or even automated teller machine (ATM) cards now have to deal with this constant threat.
Technology has not only made life easier for law-abiding people but also for scam artists.
