With almost a billion mobile internet users every year, and with a lot more ISPs starting to offer unlimited internet options to their mobile users, the favorite way for a lot of people to access the internet is on their mobile phone.

Canadian Tech Blogger moves away from Godaddy

December 27th, 2011

Recently SOPA (stop online privacy act) has made its rounds in the states.

Basically the bill gives power to media company’s to shut down websites without warning. Websites like reddit, Arstechnica, twitter, etc could be shut down in seconds for any reason regarding copyright “misuse”.

So why are we moving away from godaddy? Well be because they supported SOPA, but they still dont oppose the bill. Because of that we won’t support them in anyway.

Recently we moved our web hosting to host gator. Good choice, they oppose SOPA. So now we have moved our domain to name.com. As such we no longer support godaddy. Their commercials are also way to 18a for our liking.

Android security issues go ignored

December 6th, 2011

Android may seem like a popular OS but just like windows it has some serious flaws.

Apparently north Carolina researchers have discovered a serious flaw:

“By exploiting these leaked capabilities,” the paper notes, “an untrusted app on these affected phones can manage to wipe out the user data on the phones, send out SMS messages (e.g., to premium numbers), record user conversation, or obtain user geolocations – all without asking for any permission.”

The problem is because of androids permission system (just like windows), which doesn’t work at times.
