Good idea? Bad idea? The Obama administration is preparing a stepped-up approach to policing Internet privacy that calls for new laws and the creation of a new position to oversee the effort, according to people familiar with the situation. The strategy is expected to be unveiled in a report being issued by the U.S. Commerce […]

Obviously, most of us know of the issues with Blogrolling, namely, the maware warnings and that they are soon going to shut down. I’ve seen some posts and Tweets asking what are good substitutes. Obviously, one of them is to simply use the internal Links, either in WordPress or Moveable Type. I find this a […]

First off, what is Net Neutrality. Whew! That’s a heck of a question. It is somewhat simple to answer. Imagine a city. While driving around, you find that different roads have different speed limits. We all know that. Now, imagine that city is the Internet. Certain parts are intentionally faster than others. Now, what if […]

I’d heard about the problems with Blogrolling.com causing malware warnings, hadn’t seen it with my site since I’ve only accessed it with Firefox and IE. Michael at Jumping In Pools pointed out the warnings using Chrome, so, I’ve removed all the blogrolls till fixed. If not fixed in a couple weeks, I’ll just have to […]

How ’bout something a little more humorous for a Friday morning, as opposed to hard edged politics? Besides, we all all know that Obama will take a vacation, Joe Biden will say something incredibly inane, Harry Reid will find a way to lower his approval rating, and liberals will take sides with Islamists. Whoops! Anyhow […]

Hey, sorry for the no replies to emails and comments over the last day. Something went really weird with my wteach@thepiratescove.us email password, was changed or something from what it was. Generally, I see all my email through my Blackberry first, rarely checking webmail, except to clean it out when needed. I changed it back […]

Is there nothing that the iPhone can’t do? iPhone users struggle to place or receive calls on their smartphones — except, apparently, when said calls are of the ‘booty’ variety. According to a recent survey from OKCupid, iPhone owners, on average, have more sex partners than either Android or BlackBerry owners. In a survey of […]

Earlier in the week, President Friedman dropped a comment about what is everyone’s favorite iPhone apps. Let’s see, I have 92 apps, including the ones that come with the iPhone. Now, I used to sync my iPhone contacts, calendar, and notes up with the corporate laptop, and everything else with the personal. Of course, the […]

Yup, updated my iPhone yesterday to OS 4.0, pretty nice. I love the folders option, and multitasking will be sweet, once there are apps designed for OS 4.0. Yes, that is a requirement. That said, the best place I have found to learn about all the enhancements is not the Apple website, but, this post […]

Yes, my HP kinda died. Sort of. I was in the middle of something on Sunday, and it just froze. Shut it off. Restart. Windows would not restart. Tried all sorts of things. No dice. Sigh. I did manage to rescue all the data except the downloads folder and the Firefox bookmarks folder, which I […]
