Well it's been a long time since I posted on good ole tf. I'm keeping busy in NYC and having fun. However one reason I haven't been on as much is the formt change in tf and it's associated metadata (web info used by search engines and other things I'm guessing of course). I guess this has changed because often TF is now blocked as a dating site not even a social networking site! In some contracts I work in senstive areas where no outside laptops can be used and web access is restricted HEAVILY ...

Recently europe has had record COLD temp's and NY had the coldest January on record and most snow fall in January in decades.....

So my question whatever happened to global warming? Where is that at? I'm freezing my lily white butt off have lost 5inches and 40 pounds expecting to be dressing warm year round! Agreed that pollution sucks is bad but maybe people went over a little over board on the doomsday scenarios needing to sell some books and movies. Well at least more of the lakes ...

I read this story in the AP. I don't know many Asian coming here on j-1's and in NY at least it's been mostly Europeans and Russians but still something to pass along. No matter how great a place, people, organization, or idea is there will always be problems.
 
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) -- Lured by unsupervised, third-party brokers with promises of steady jobs and a chance to sightsee, some foreign college students on summer work programs in the U.S. get a far different taste of ...

The iphone 4 was released the other and has already been plagued by more problems then any other tech gadget I've ever seen to hit commercial retail ever. Plus the front and back is all glass and you ever not drop your phone? It's another attempt to make more money in repairs and replacements. Sites are already sold out on replacements screens in days. Big yellow spots and massive reception problems and in response to the reception problems apple has once again insulted people with this..... ...

Just some help to the mac users and their 'invincible' os
 
Intego, makers of security and privacy apps for the Mac, warned on Tuesday that some Mac software include a new piece of invasive spyware. Macworld has obtained a preliminary list of the applications with the spyware.
In a press release, Intego states that a number of apps and screen savers distributed through sites like MacUpdate, VersionTracker, and Softpedia are installing a little more software than users bargain ...

Apple's parts supplier Foxconn faces more controversy

Last time a reporter tried to penetrate Apple's veil of secrecy, security guards employed by their parts supplier, Foxconn, beat up the reporters involved.  But questions had to be answered in the wake of the suicide/potential murder of a Foxconn employee which occurred after the employee lost an iPhone prototype.

Chinese newspaper Southern Weekly was determined to find out the true story, and sent a reporter in undercover, ...

Enjoy the laugh...

Ok I've been in bkk a few weeks and been dealing with the only mild inconvience of the red shirt rallys so I've got some questions about it and since none of my close friends are red shirt enthusiast they haven't been able to answer.
1. If Thaksin was still prime minister wouldn't his term in office be over. This of course not assuming he was reelected which is a separate issue.
2. The people of thai rak thai political party have reformed into another party? Now granted in America ...

accupunture is not just a medical practice but a skill and an art. I have it done by younger people, older people, western, asian, and everyone is very different. One guy I went to once who is famous in the chinese community here was not s good as a person who was not in their 30's yet.  So personal recommendations are extremely important in this area. I've also found price is not what determines anything. One of the least expensive was the best and the worst was also most expensive. ...

I'm going to be there for a few days before heading out to another country with my business partner. Any ideas of big things going on?

Some useful tech info on how to avoid getting spyware and malicious code on your pc. Pass this to our friends also since it's very easy to end up with some thing. Mac users as well since more people have begun buying them viruses are appearing written for mac's and worse to piggy back through mac's onto windows networks since most mac users don't have antivirus software.  Symantec has unveiled a dedicated website aimed to inform web users about scams targeting ...

A story out of england for all the brits. We all know children are the products of their parents and this is the exact reason why so many people are against home schooling. At least the kids have a chance to be exposed to other cultures when the culture at large supports and stands behind the noraml societal thinking. In most societies acts of mass viloence against civilans are forced to be fringe and lunatics. This is evidenced by the push by most Christian white people against ...

This is an article another tech friend sent me. First google bows to the chinese communist now apparently they suffer a 'software glitch' when it comes to islam or maybe their just afaraid of fatwahs against them. Do your own search for islam is or oother related searches and see. It's sad the supposed groups fighting for freedom of speech and expression and even giant companies bow to extremeists. Maybe Christians should start killing people again for insulting their faith or buddhist ...

 An important thing to note in this article is the addition of the "rootkit" in the virus code. Rootkits (as some will remember) were used by Sony to track information on what was done with their music to work against piracy. In the US it's illegal to do so, however some changes in the 'EULA' (end user license agreement) which you MUST accept to use software and more increasingly enhanced music cd's, dvd's, etc which have videos, making of scenes, etc. This ...
