It’s simply wrong to think that what works on the internet today will work tomorrow. In fact, far too many people build something really great only to get left in the dust by googlebot et al. Fair or not it’s a matter of fact that if your site was #1 you must maintain that. Our […]
Microsoft PubCenter Omen?
It is true that there are a few web publishers that have the ability to put Microsoft’s PubCenter ads on their websites. We have seen the interface ourselves, and have come to learn a bit about it. For the last few years Microsoft has not allowed new users to access this function and rumor has […]
Holiday Tech
I’m probably the worst choice for writing this article, but my raving at the office about my kid’s new Xbox 360 landed me the task. First let me say that Happy Action Theater for the Kinect is just plain fun for all ages. That is what I have raved about, is the fantastic sense of […]
What’s with these companies that don’t s
Newegg.com has taken up an experimental deceptive practice of hiding product prices until you are on the very last page of the online shopping process. They are not the first, but we have had several clients experiment with such tactics and based on those results we strongly suggest NEVER doing this, and here is why. […]
Google no longer a porn site!
It has been a busy quarter around here. Overwhelmed with projects, especially the pet kind. One pet project we’ve been working on for over a year is convincing Wikipedia to stop being a porn site (from within the editor community). While we cannot take credit for the changes that seem to have finally gone live […]
iPhone 5 predictions.
The iPhone is selling below expectation, but that doesn’t mean much. Since when does expectation not follow an indefinite upward trend? Investors know that indefinite upward trends don’t exists. As usuall they limited their initial production batch. So they “sell-out” even when sales are below expectations. That’s just good marketing. 5,000,000 is a lot of […]
Patents and Copyrights
This has been a popular topic in the past, and since we love hate mail, and since I happen to be reading “The Fatal Conceit” by Hayek, I thought I’d bring up the issue yet again. Perhaps you remember the article January about SOPA where we posted this great video: When I stumbled on this […]
2 Issues
2 issues have come to our attention: Firstly, complaints about valid comments not being released. This site receives hundreds of spam comments per day, and thankfully only a few make it through our filters. Of those hundreds, there are dozens that are entered manually and get queued for moderation. We have honestly just been too […]
Windows Easy Transfer My Arse!
Leave it to Microsoft to take what should have been an easy task, call it “easy” and then proceed to make their wizard lead you straight to a mess. The problem is, that while the “Easy Transfer” wizard claims that you are copying “an account” what you’re really just doing is copying files. That may […]
SOPA?
Please click the image on the right and submit the petition! I am writing to you as a voter in your district. I urge you to vote “no” on cloture for S. 968, the PROTECT IP Act, on Jan. 24th. The PROTECT IP Act is dangerous, ineffective, and short-sighted. It does not deserve floor consideration. […]
