MoreI’ve been a long time Yahoo! Messenger (YM) user. Yahoo was my first e-mail account and most of my contacts are Yahoo!. I won’t make the intro long. So here’s what’s I want to post. There are times before where I receive an instant message from an unknown Yahoo! ID. Well, simply, that was spamming. I suspect the spammers were able to get my email address from forums or at the Yahoo! Chatrooms. But then lately (I believe it started last year), I am receiving “wierd” IMs from my yahoo buddies (those are my friends). The first one, as I recalled,...
MoreThis week, Peter Travers boldly goes where all critics are soon headed: the new Star Trek movie. There have been 10 ST films and many iterations of the TV show, which could lead to Trek fatigue - but Lost's J.J. Abrams has made something spectacular: the summer blockbuster Wolverine should have been. The movie is an origin story that tracks James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) and Mr. Spock (Zachary Quinto) as they are just starting their careers. Winona Ryder is solid as Spock's human mother (OMFG, says Travers about the casting), but Pine and Quinto are standouts. And Quinto manages...
MoreMajor League Baseball announced Thursday that Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Manny Ramirez has been suspended for 50 games for violating its drug policy. The commissioner's office didn't announce the specific violation by Ramirez, but in a statement Thursday provided by Major League Baseball, Ramirez attributed the violation to medication he had been prescribed by a doctor.

"Unfortunately, the medication was banned under our drug policy. Under the policy that mistake is now my responsibility....

MoreIf they were not Apple rumors, we’d all be dead by now listening to all those near baseless blabbing about the Apple Netbook, iPhone nano, iTablet, 32 GB iPhone, etc. As you are not tired to read Apple rumors, we have something that would let you raise your eyebrows. The time for iPocalypse is near and Apple would be launching two new products, Verizon as the exclusive distributor. The two products are: 1. iPhone lite: This phone would be a cheaper and thinner version of the existing iPhone to target customers who doesn’t require all the features on the iPhone. This up...
MoreThis might be a good time to go short if you think interest rates are finally hitting bottom and will start heading upward this fall. Just don’t settle for a 6-month certificate of deposit that’s paying the national average of 1.07% APY — or less.

MoreLots of stuff going on leaving little time to blog, so this will need to be brief... Google Labs released a couple neat new tools yesterday. (Another report here.) One is "Similar Images" which uses the colors and shapes of one image to become the basis for a subsequent search on similar images. For example, I searched for "Jerusalem" and two clicks later on pictures that are closest to the view I want, and I have about 600 pics simply of the Temple Mount viewed from the Mount of Olives. The other new release is Google News Timeline. It is mainly intended...
