The following pdf document shows the results of several searches done with Google’s mobile product and Yahoo’s. Please note that this was created by Yahoo but after doing some testing myself, the data appears to be all correct and not skewed. This is very interesting to see that Yahoo has picked up the slack on mobile units and make a great product.

If you don’t know about Justin.tv then I suggest you check it out. A guy named Justin has a wireless camera on him at all times and broadcasts the video on his website for all to see. Justin even gives his cell phone number so that people can call him. One viewer took it way to far but spoofing his cell phone number and calling the San Francisco Police regarding a stabbing at his apartment. The video shows the SFPD walk into his room and point a gun right at him.

When Kevin Medina and John Naruszewicz joined forces nine years ago, the Internet was like an untamed frontier. There was little to discourage Medina, the owner of an office-cleaning business in New Jersey, and Naruszewicz, a recent high school dropout, from joining the dot-com gold rush. The tiny company they started, RegisterFly.com Inc., ultimately became a midsize registrar of Internet addresses for more than 200,000 customers, including entertainer Michael Jackson. Now a messy fight between the two for control has brought RegisterFly to its knees and prompted angry calls for better oversight of the Web registry industry.
Over the past week we have heard of the “downfall” of Register Fly. Register Fly was a “good” domain registar that I used for the majority of my names. They were mid-range in price and offered a decent service with a good GUI. As of last week I had four domain left with them. Today I have two.
A few days ago it was announced that Register Fly will lose their ICANN accreditation on March 31. It is currently unclear what will happen with the domains they have but I would think another company, like Go Daddy, would offer to purchase the customers in a legal and fair way. This sparked me to transfer my two major domains to Go Daddy. One of those domain includes this one, 5tags.com.
If you would like to know more about what happened at Register Fly, the Wikipedia article describes it well.
If you have any worth-while domains at Register Fly - TRANSFER THEM IMMEDIATELY.

Being available for nearly 6 months in Japan and 3 months in Europe, North Americans were very angry that the browser was not released in in the US and Canada. Some bought the Japanese version, others the European a few months later, but the upright honest people just sat on your computer chair waiting for Nintendo to announce a American release. At Game Developers Conference today, the company finally let it be known that the Opera browser is indeed heading to the US.
According to the breif annoucement the broswer will be available June 4, 2007 but no price or availability details were said. For more information about the browser be sure to check out my:

I have only been with Dreamhost for just over 1 year but you could oviously tell that their old control panel was designed in the early 21st century. It just looked so Web 1.0. After heading over to my https://panel.dreamhost.com/ I quickly discovered that Dreamhost has upgraded their control panel look and feel.
Off of the top you can see that it is a lot more visually pleasing but I have to say it could be a little better. It looks very nice except the navigation looks like it is from an old Wordpress template. Besides the navigation it looks very nice. They have now got the entire design with just CSS and NO TABLES! The following is from the Dreamhost website:
1. it’s got a hawt new “web 2.0″ look.
2. we’ve CSS-ified everything.
3. we’ve added a TINY bit of Ajax.Functionality-wise for you, the Happy DreamHost Customer, not all that much has really changed.
YET!
But, getting all our various panels standardized and modernized was a huge first step in being able to make lots more little improvements across our panel.
More features? Faster load times? More AJAX?
…who knows!
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE NOW!
