[tech] Spyware from Sony
Spyware from Sony
In order to fight piracy, Sony BMG turns to spyware?
CA targets Sony DRM as spyware
http://blogs.zdnet.com/Spyware/index.php?p=698&tag=nl.e550
Don’t they realize that customer always right? And if I don’t like your product I can turn against you and support your competitor? Here, Sony doesn’t seem to respect the consumer, and then what can the consumer do?
Spyware spat makes small print a big issue
http://news.zdnet.com/2100-1009_22-5944208.html?tag=nl.e589
Well, seems like the consumer can do nothing. What has been label as spyware can sue the anti spyware company for being labeled as spyware. Yet it could be another challenge for the anti spyware and internet user.
Talking about challenge, the consumer should be aware of this
Unsecured Wi-Fi could become a crime

Now one must be careful and anonymous surfing will be history. (Until the rule is approve by the parliament.)
[tech] Battle of the giants
So much for the Intel side logo on virtually every computer we used in the past 4 or 5 year, in a recent ZDnet’s blog titled “Intel's Otellini in the hot seat as AMD gains share”
http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/index.php?p=2134&tag=nl.e550
It’s not to say that this means the end of Intel and the triumph of AMD, even Microsoft can try bounce back after realizing the threat of Google and Yahoo.
Oh, yeah. The war is on.

Google, Microsoft and Yahoo begin war on features
http://blogs.zdnet.com/Google/index.php?p=27&tag=nl.e550
What do we as internet user get in return? War is usually bad, both for the winner and loser. But here, we as internet user will get a more better choice and a myriad of services provided, some free and some for a fee.
The Five Absolute Worst Foods You Can Eat
By Dr. Joseph Mercola with Rachael Droege
There are no "bad" foods, right? Only food you should eat in moderation? Well, not really. The following foods are so bad for your body that I really can't see any reason to eat them. Not only do they have zero nutritional value, but they also give your body a healthy dose of toxins, which should make the idea of eating them really hard to swallow.
Doughnuts
Doughnuts are fried, full of sugar and white flour and most all varieties contain trans fat. Store-bought doughnuts are made up of about 35 percent to 40 percent trans fat.
An average doughnut will give you about 200 to 300 calories, mostly from sugar, and few other nutrients.
It's too bad that Americans view doughnuts as a breakfast food as, nutritionally speaking, eating a doughnut is one of the worst ways to start off your day. It will throw off your blood sugar and won't stay with you so you'll be hungry again soon. You are better off eating no breakfast at all, or better yet grabbing a quick glass of Whey Healthier.
Soda
One can of soda has about 10 teaspoons of sugar, 150 calories, 30 to 55 mg of caffeine, and is loaded with artificial food colors and sulphites. I can't think of any good reason to ever have it. The diet varieties are also problematic as they are filled with harmful artificial sweeteners like aspartame.
Studies have linked soda to osteoporosis, obesity, tooth decay and heart disease, yet the average American drinks an estimated 56 gallons of soft drinks each year. Plus, drinking all that sugar will likely suppress your appetite for healthy foods, which pave the way for nutrient deficiencies.
Soft drink consumption among children has almost doubled in the United States over the last decade, which is not surprising considering that most school hallways are lined with soda-filled vending machines.
Schools often make marketing deals with leading soft drink companies such as Coca-Cola from which they receive commissions--based on a percentage of sales at each school--and sometimes a lump-sum payment, in exchange for their students' health. School vending machines can increase the consumption of sweetened beverages by up to 50 or more cans of soda per student per year.
If you routinely drink soda--regular or diet--eliminating it from your diet is one of the simplest and most profound health improvements you can make.
French Fries (and Nearly All Commercially Fried Foods)
Potatoes are bad enough when consumed in their raw state, as their simple sugars are rapidly converted to glucose that raises insulin levels and can devastate your health. But when they are cooked in trans fat at high temperatures, all sorts of interesting and very unpleasant things occur.
Anything that is fried, even vegetables, has the issue of trans fat and the potent cancer-causing substance acrylamide.
Foods that are fried in vegetable oils like canola, soybean, safflower, corn, and other seed and nut oils are particularly problematic. These polyunsaturated fats easily become rancid when exposed to oxygen and produce large amounts of damaging free radicals in the body. They are also very susceptible to heat-induced damage from cooking. What is not commonly known is that these oils can actually cause aging, clotting, inflammation, cancer and weight gain. You can read the article "Secrets of the Edible Oil Industry" for more information.
It is theoretically possible to create a more "healthy" French fry if you cook it in a healthy fat like virgin coconut oil. Due to its high saturated fat content, coconut oil is extremely stable and is not damaged by the high temperatures of cooking. This is why coconut oil should be the only oil you use to cook with.
I am fond of telling patients that one French fry is worse for your health than one cigarette, so you may want to consider this before you order your next 'Biggie' order.
Chips
Most commercial chips, and this includes corn chips, potato chips, tortilla chips, you name it, are high in trans fat. Fortunately, some companies have caught on to the recent media blitz about the dangers of trans fat and have started to produce chips without trans fat.
However, the high temperatures used to cook them will potentially cause the formation of carcinogenic substances like acrylamide, and this risk remains even if the trans fat is removed.
Fried Non-Fish Seafood
This category represents the culmination of non-healthy aspects of food. Fried shrimp, clams, oysters, lobsters, and so on have all the issues of trans fat and acrylamide mentioned above, plus an added risk of mercury.
Seafood is loaded with toxic mercury and shellfish like shrimp and lobsters can be contaminated with parasites and resistant viruses that may not even be killed with high heat. These creatures, considered scavenger animals, consume foods that may be harmful for you.
Eating these foods gives you a quadruple dose of toxins--trans fat, acrylamide, mercury and possibly parasites or viruses--with every bite.
If you have a taste for seafood, there's an easy solution. It's best to avoid your local fish fry and try the only fish I now eat--the delicious wild red Alaskan salmon that was proven through independent lab testing to be free of harmful levels of mercury and other contaminants.

What can I do?
What can I do?
What can I do to please someone? This question may sometime popup in one’s mind. It is not an easy task to do as people are hard to please, some more everyone is different. In order to please someone, you must sacrifice something.
I didn’t say it would be easy, but nothing is free and something must be given up in order to please others. It could be a simple penny, or a small favor, or it can be as big as giving up your dignity. Sigh, it’s not simple to make everyone happy.
One could argue that I can do what I want and ignore other people. I once do that but advice from my friends is “you cannot do this forever “and “why you seal yourself from others? “And “if you can’t beat them, why don’t you just join them? “
Things aren’t what they seems to be, nothing is as easy as ABC. Look at the illiterate rates around us, either something wrong with the education system or alphabet is not as easy as everyone thought.
Anyway, back to topic. Definition from wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn define please as below:
1. Give pleasure to or be pleasing to; "These colors please the senses"; "a pleasing sensation"
2. Be the will of or have the will (to); "he could do many things if he pleased"
3. give satisfaction; "The waiters around her aim to please"
4. Used in polite request; "please pay attention"
What can I do?
I can give pleasure to someone if I want. I can do any thing if I pleased. I can say “please” when I want some attention.
Well, I think for now, I will do anything I want as long as I am pleased with it.

Bringing English to Senses
Dinesh Vora
.
The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby
English will be the official language of the European Union rather than
German, which was the other possibility.
.
As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that
English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5-
year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".
.
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this
will make the sivil servants jump with joy.
.
The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up
konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.
.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the
troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like
fotograf 20% shorter.
.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be
expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.
.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have
always ben a deterent to akurate speling.
.
Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the
languag is disgrasful and it should go away.
.
By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing
"th" with "z" and "w" with "v".
.
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords
kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensibl riten styl.
.
Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi
tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.
.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted
in ze forst plas.

If zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl.
