The dirty truth!

Microsoft is now getting really down and dirty! “Microsoft extends 90-day free Windows 7 enterprise trial until end of 2010…a “while supplies last” free 90-day trial of Windows 7 that was targeted specifically at enterprise customers.”  In psychology, Stockholm syndrome is a term used to describe a paradoxical psychological phenomenon wherein hostages express adulation and have positive feelings towards their captors that appear irrational in light of the danger or risk endured by the victims. Now, you are probably wondering how does this happen…. and what does this have to do with this article! Its simple on both counts; The real transformation or psychological switch for the captives toward their captors is the Stockholm Syndrome’s psychiatric definition describes it as “a primitive gratitude for the gift of life,” not unlike that felt by an infant!

Microsoft extending the  90-day free Windows 7 enterprise trial until end of 2010 is a truly diabolical ploy but paints makes Microsoft in a good light making them sound like they are really good guys, caring and helping you out in a bad economy but this is not the case by far and are really offering you a disservice.  It is a GIVE AWAY! That means, giving away something,  NOT making a REAL offer or offering special discounting on their product which would be the RIGHT, helpful choice. Microsoft extends 90-day free Windows 7 enterprise trial until end of 2010 is the same ploy taken by Credit card company’s getting you complacent and wallowing in your denial until you have no other resource or time to make an alternate choice by postponing the inevitable and giving you enough rope to hang your self out to dry and no way down and Microsoft is hoping to make some un-discounted money somewhere along the road.

Mind you, within the sales process, there’s still resistance to overcome the difficult and very painful decision to spend their money, but in their mind that hurdle has been taken. They liked your initial offer and did exactly what you wanted them to do. As in the Stockholm Syndrome’s primus, as previously describes as “a primitive gratitude for the gift of life”?!

Rumor is (On ZDNET) that Iphone is moving to or expanding to Verizon. Verizon is known to have the best cellular coverage across America. Iphone is of course known as being the  most wanted cell phone around the world. With the release of Android, Iphone has to have seen a huge hit to their budget. or not. apple is quite tight lipped.

This whole news burst could be all mislead hype. Apple has a huge “no leak” policy. Just earlier in March there was a rumor of Sprint getting the Iphone . So this could all be a rumor or it could be a fact. Both sprint and Verizon are on CDMA networks. So there could be an all out Motorola (everyone has or has had one) move coming.

So far there is no tale of  Iphone heading to Tmobile. Of course we know that TMobile is the leader in Android phones (well it seems like it). A move to Iphone through TMobile may lead to a huge batch of phones being traded in. This would be the death nail for Android. Tmobile is of course not a cdma network phone, it is GSM. So it’s the same build as AT&T. It would be an easy move. I doubt though that Tmobile would take them in.

As of now, everything is speculation. But you can imagine what every mac rumor does to their stocks. So from here out, we watch and wait. If it does not come to your network, chances are you can buy one on eBay that is unlocked…. and ready. for $100 extra.

Many people on the internet are expecting to see Rockstar at E3 2010 to announce GTA 5. You have to ask yourself ” when was the last time Rockstar announced a new game at E3?” . If I am not mistaken. The last time they announced a new Grand Theft Auto at  any convention was GTAIII. After that day, Rockstar has not announced the release date until after “leaking” small bits of information about release dates, and then playing out a month or so of riddles and clues with the GTAFORUMs gang.Also it does not fit the format of  Grand Theft Auto game releases. We are on a brand new gaming platform. Rockstar has not used the New platform yet for the other two games that use this engine. Vice city and San Andreas have yet to be released on the new engine.  Rockstar numbers their game releases by engine. Well of course that’s how it has been done since… what 97 or 98? Why change that now ?

Every time Rockstar Games releases the big three games, all three are released on the same engine. Last time this happened, the engine got small tweaks (possibly influenced by the gta modding communities) Making the game smoother and less resource hogging (PC term). This allows them to them make the graphics better and add more game play using less storage and less stress on your gaming gear. It would be unwise to release a new gaming engine to release a new city. Count on the next big Grand Theft Auto to be released, to be Vice City or San Andreas. Also count on a few small variations of these two before you see the next Grand Theft Auto engine.

One of the first GTA rumors sites. That is the longest Grand Theft Auto News and Rumors website. I respect this old schooler because I think he is probably the only guy on the internet who has been playing the game as long as I have, and as consistent. Here is a GTA forum you can join and post your opinions, Hopes, wishes or rants. It’s ok, I know the owner of the site really well. He wont gripe much. That place has kinda turned into just PS3 users.

We can be sure that the next Grand Theft auto we see, will be GTAIV Vice city, or GTAIV San Andres Or a surprise left hook from London. Count on 4 more years.

Happy gaming.

Oh if you want more, Here more on the same subject of the Next Grand Theft auto

Let’s say you have a level 61, this level 61 has a 4,945,412,000 bounty on it’s head and well over 20,000 Energy. It has greater than 100 billion in it’s possession, tons of godfather prizes and playdom prizes. Let’s say you have spent the last two years with that account as your “ace in the hole”. What I mean by ace in the hole is, it’s a small account, but not so small that you have no property you can buy for a fair price. In fact you have tons of choices of land and buildings. Well you have this account just sitting there. You log in daily to return energy, but never really do anything with it. That is of course until you get into trouble in the battlefield.

Once you get cornered, your level 400+ is getting slapped around with two level 100s. You can not retaliate. So you log into the level 61 and hitlist each of the two, ten times straight back to back.  Occasionally you attack them after you hitlist them, this leaves you to collect your bounty and get a kill under your belt. The account has faced many of rivals, there is no mark to show the endless numbers of people hitlisted with this account. Because it is just there to put them on the list

There are other accounts that I am not willing to upkeep anymore such as .

And

My little demon in the making

If I let go of something like these accounts, I would have to just say take the whole bunch for $300. I would be crippled without one.

These accounts are purely 100% legit. I never used a bot, I never used any kind of cheat other than an occasional trip to sumob so I could buy land on the property calculator.

Not sure what I would do with my level 400+

That one of course would go for no less than $200 it’s self.

I am not so sure I actually want to sell them. I have never had an offer. Nor am I requesting an offer. Simple truth I don’t know if playdom or myspace allow that kind of stuff. I would consider it if someone could show me that it is legal and probably placed an offer.

I dunno maybe this is just a rant of being tired of keeping up with the accounts.

They claim safety for your business and protection for your business, yet they went down like a rock. They are only safe because they have not had any real threats.
They either set up a challenge they could not back, or they upset the wrong group by getting someone arrested.. Or fired the wrong guy.

Usa Global Becomes less Safe in this instance

USA Global’s website .

This is serous business here. I am assuming the email address they left is for someone who is not connected to them, because that sure is a huge paper trail they left for themselves. since government in many countries are right now as we speak, looking to  incriminate people  cross continents by some new internet safety law.

Now I am not for that law but it is in the making. All they have to worry about is the government waiting for it to pass before they make a legal move on this. And that this bank isn’t some weird angry bent nose group with  derby hats and striped pants…..

Weird is, I see no one else reporting this already. Go figure a girl showed me this,  asking if that meant she had a virus.

Sure did not feel like very long on that dang thing. 2 days as the drum beats and it’s lights out or upgrade.
I did find few Windows Vista installs that come with free windows 7 upgrades. for around 130. To me that sounds like
a peach of a deal. Found it at zipzoomfly, not going to link it because heh. I’m not getting any kick back.. nah because I don’t feel like searching for it till I’m ready, but I did saw it earlier today. So I know it’s there

Good Luck

This news is from TechCrunch
I do not understand some of the stupid fees people charge for some of the aps they sell.
I mean many people have completely justifiable fees for their software. Because they thought of something totally new to solve a problem they have been facing.
but have you tried a pdf reader yet? IMHO, the only people who should be able to charge for a pdf ap, are the ones who first created pdfs. I think it would be best if Foxit just made a free pdf reader for droid and made it available, to kill out all of the jerks charging for pdf readers. same thing for open office. Why is it that someone other than the inventors of excel, can charge for a program that reads excel files? IMHO that is pirating.
How about the hundred pay version of fake snake and pacman ?
If it is fake and not the inventor, why can this guy who compiled it (cloned for droid or what ever you call it) can charge for it? is that not plagiarism ?

but I did find one guy who made a voltage drop calculator, now that dude had a task and wanted to make it easier. He should get paid for his works, and get a gold medal!! lol.
I would bet that most of the people who’s “works” got pirated, can’t really press charges, because their stuff is a rip off of someone else’s work.

I do think it’s good the pirating site is down. because of all of the legit software, it needed to be shut down. I do have to say though, that almost everything I have tried to install on my phone that I needed, was trials for software that is a rip of some other software. Of course I did not install even the free trial.

The guys at Rockstar games Have a huge funny bone and a large heart. They us a clue or a distraction to the fifth Grand Theft Auto.
From the Grand Theft auto Clans Community.
What you need to do is go to do to see the wonderful Easter-egg they left us is right click http://www.rockstargames.com/v that link and save to your desktop and then open the file with VLCPLAYER. You are in for a prize of prizes.

He has the right idea, use the waste from power plants to create more power.

This could lead to the dudes who buried  I mean “disposed of” nuclear waste  of the past getting a clean conscience. Actually, what would be the likelihood of them coming forward with saying “yes by the old standards of  laying a pillowcase and two twigs on top it was properly disposed of, and by todays law those standards should be fine for a million years”  .  What we need them to say is ” Well ok everyone we buried the most radioactive material ten feet below every church/hospital/elementary school and well we used to think that was fine, but further study from all sorts of fine programs we have across the world, we find that it is not the safest plan, so we have to dig this stuff up and burn it in our ‘recycling old crap’ machine.  But yeah right , who would rebuild the churches and schools???

So if the machine can be created, I have faith in Bill, we just need a loud voice out there to speak for the past and present…any got any suggestion?

Here is the magical save all story

Website Status, value and worth.

Well I have been working with  the company website ( the company I work for) trying to see what it’s page rank was and how well my SEO skills are. Doing that usually consisted of me hitting about 10 websites every day and me making the adjustments to the company website I felt like I needed to make.

Well, just as you would, I got tired of all of the Google searches I had to do and bookmarks to crank through. so I found a site that some dang dude was selling a php script  that would supposedly  do all the work for me. Well the program barely did but it gave me some insight as to what labors I needed to perform on the PHP script to make it work like I needed to get the information i needed

I needed  page rank information, I needed to see how many index pages in search engines I had, I also needed to find how many websites linked to me. So I took this clump of crap I bought for like  four dollars and started asking around if I could use tools from the sites the guy originally incorporated. Sad thing is, I have not gotten the “value” part in a monetary pattern. Soooo, It will not tell you what your website is worth.. Heck I don’t really have much faith in any of those sites. If you know of one that works really well and is spot on, please tell me where it is. I will contact the site owner and see what i can get done, for him, for me , for the users.

Website Status, value and worth.

Oh there is a “whois” tool added so you can check if a domain you want is open, sorry I do not sell website domain names. I do how ever like Netfirms. They seem to have the best prices. I don’t care much for their storage though.
