Web 2.0

I am not surprised Twitter was hacked. I am stunned at how easy it was.
If your password is something like “password” or “secret”, you may want to read about poor Twitter user crystal who thought that “happiness” was a good password. Turns out that the folks over at Twitter don’t have any brute force [...]

Now this is not too much of a surprise to me — is it to you? They seem to be reporting it like it is somehow revealing. In my opinion, it just confirmed what I already thought. Seems that many of us want the Internet more than sex.
A survey indicated that “46% [...]

The p2pnet post and it begins with "Could a new site buying and selling ‘used’ mp3s possibly be a honeypot set up by the RIAA?" I am reading it and, in the back of my head, I am thinking if this "is some kind of hoax?". Bopaboo, as the author makes known, is [...]

This is worth a quick post. Joel Tenenbaum who is standing up for himself against the RIAA, now has Facebook Group for support. (I mentioned the Dream Team of Witnesses before.)

Although I am more of a Geeks! person than a Facebook person, I made sure I became the 252nd member of the [...]

3 December 2008 POD - Chris Ayer

Today’s pick is the winner in the folk category in the 2006 John Lennon Songwriting Contest. I chose "Evaporate" by Chris Ayer. I found him over at Podsafe Music Network.

As I have mentioned before, one of the most rewarding things about doing a podcast is the correspondence I [...]

To be honest, I don’t Twitter on the road often. The reason being is that I live at work and rarely ever use my cell phone. Even when at my desktop, I tend to be a follower and not a tweeter. Nonetheless, I do tweet. Lately, I have noticed more than a few [...]

26 November 2008 POD - Chillerstadt

Today I went with "Where You Are" by Chillerstadt. I found them over at Podsafe Music Network.

This band also has some interesting videos at their web site.

Thanks for reading and listening.

Earlier this week, I posted an editorial about how I was getting bored with the suit counter-suit thing regarding the RIAA. This case, delayed, hopefully due to good legal fear, is far from that. The suit involving Tenenbaum is shaping up like a Perry Mason episode.

It is the list of defense witnesses that [...]

This is going to have to be part of a series kind of post. A good while back I scribbled a post March being Boycott the RIAA Month. In it, I mentioned a few places to seek DRM free and legal music. I still get asked where I find material very [...]

W00t! w00t! w00t!… Seems that sanity has prevailed in this one case at least. A whining baby who seems to have an identity crisis and has lacked a hit song for over a decade has been just lost to a cute, adorable "dancing baby", Holden Lentz. (Source)

Universal had claimed that it was not [...]

Before I wrote here, I put this post up about the possibility of Google releasing a browser. That is correct, way back in 2005.

I don’t know if I like the name "Chrome" as much as "Gbrowser".. Nonetheless, if Google make is work with all its various services in the right way, I feel [...]

Yesterday, I got off on a bit of a rant about how I felt about some recent happenings regarding my the the most dislike company in America. I refer to them as the Racketeering Idiots Association of Absurdity but most of you know them as the RIAA.

The post received a few comments and I [...]

Back when I first mentioned the "dancing baby case", I promised to mention if I heard anymore. For now, this is all I have at the moment but it looks like the case is going to proceed. (In my opinion, boycott-RIAA is a pretty decent source.)

I have a hectic day at work today [...]

One of the Web 2.0 thingies that I am interested in is KM (Knowledge Management). In this day and age, one needs at least some type of PKM (Personal Knowledge Management). Bill Ives over at Portal and KM often blogs on this topic. In his latest post he mentions they closed the event [...]

Please don’t Rick Roll me for this, I have to confess that I like Tay Zonday. I think both "Chocolate Rain" and "Internet Dream" are great tunes.

With 24 million views of Chocolate Rain, a Dr. Pepper and McDonald’s giving him ad spots, I would reckon I am not alone. He was also in [...]

I have read a great number of posts over the years. I have such an addiction for computers and Internet content that many people have suggested I need a 12 step program for [...]

I don’t know about you but I love parodies. (I am actually going to see Epic Movie.) A few days ago, the blogosphere was buzzin’ ’bout Get a First Life; a parody of the very popular Second Life. (FYI, I first noticed it here.) It is a really funny parody. [...]

Many people have been ranting and raving about Google Reader. If the numbers in this article are correct, it seem most of us are now using it. There are still many choices for web based readers. Having been a long time Bloglines user, I decided to give Google Reader a try. I [...]

A good while back, I put up a post at my personal blog about rumors of a Google Browser. About the same time, there were many rumors circulating about a Google OS. Recently, some of us here put up post about where we thought web apps were going. Now it seems like [...]

A few days ago Chris wrote a post about today’s fad of Web apps. Bill Webb followed the next day with this post. Bill’s post is populated with many good comments on the topic. I am one of the commentors. I thought it might be worth the CyberInk to give my [...]
