Who Can Defeat Yahoo Now?

Yahoo plans to remove any limitation concerning storage space for e-mails, allowing users to keep all of their messages forever. Back in 2006, some confidential information leaked from Mountain View, about a possible online storage service, dubbed GDrive, that was supposed to be the solution to users’ ever-increasing need for storage space. That was the signal that eventually led to an explosion of similar online services which, for a modicum sum, can fairly replace your PC’s hard drive. Faced with the threat of concurrence, Web giants like Yahoo, Microsoft and Google have speculated the momentum and progressively increased the storage space for their e-mail services. From the 4MB Yahoo was offering back in 1997, to the 1GB Google was offering in 2004 for its Gmail service things have rapidly evolved and eventually the “simple” e-mail turned into a fierce battle for customers who click on the commercials displayed inside their …

Look For Security When Selecting Free Web Mail Providers

Internet users should look for sufficient security protection when selecting free web mail providers. Not all free services provide virus protection, says Stuttgart-based magazine Connect. They instead require users to pay for comprehensive protection for their electronic mailbox. Free mail services are also poorly suited for mobile users, the magazine writes. Users must pay around 5 euros (6.7 dollars) to perform address synchronization for their cell phone or PDA while on the go, or to be informed of new messages by SMS. Those looking to store large files should also be aware that the storage space is also not unlimited.

British Hacker Faces US extradition

Gary McKinnon, the Brit who carried out the ‘biggest military computer hack of all time’, has lost the High Court battle against his extradition in the United States where he is accused for gaining access to 97 US military and NASA computers in 2001 and 2002. Lord Justice Maurice Kay and Mr Justice Goldring dismissed McKinnon’s legal challenge on Tuesday, adding that they can’t find any legal grounds for the appeal. McKinnon’s lawyers claimed on Tuesday that their client has been subjected to ‘improper threats’ and the Home Secretary John Reid’s decision to extradite him would break his human rights. Lawyer Ben Cooper announced that they plan to address to the House of Courts, the highest court in the land.

Pengaruh Hosting,datacenter,lokasi,bahasa atau domain google?

Saat saya melihat statistik pengunjung situs ini dan memperhatikan beberapa percobaan pencarian dengan beberapa keywords. Saya menememukan keanehan terhadap hasil pencarian dari google. Dari beberapa diskusi, beberapa temen menyatakan ini adalah pengaruh datacenter. Tapi setelah diteliti, apakah seharusnya demikian.? Kita lihat contoh kasusnya. Situs ini di hosting di hosting di Amerika (US) (*sekarang sedang ada masalah dengan hostingnya, tambahan beberapa hop dari routing tablenya membuat situs ini sering down). Jika kita menggunakan perintah site:john.nikkitranmaster.com pada google.com hasilnya normal dengan option dari web maupun halaman indonesia. Jika menggunakan perintah site:john.nikkitranmaster.com pada google.co.id dengan memilih option “telusuri di web” hasilnya normal, tetapi jika perintah site:john.nikkitranmaster.com pada google.co.id dengan option “telusuri halaman dari indonesia” maka hasilnya akan blank. Tak satupun halaman ke-index di google. Tapi beberapa situs lain tidak mengalami keaadan separah ini, masih ada halaman yang di-index, meskipun jumlahnya tidak sebaik jika menggunakan google.com.

Diputar, dijilat, dicelupin. Anda sudah tahu ini iklan apa. Produk itu sudah diiklankan dengan kata-kata yang sama kurang lebih sejak lima tahun yang lalu, atau bahkan mungkin lebih lama dari itu. Namun, pernahkan Anda melihat iklan terbaru produk itu sekitar Januari 2007 ini? Ada tiga orang anak perempuan berpakaian balet dengan masing-masing produk tersebut di tangan mereka. Ada masing-masing satu gelas susu di depan mereka, karena produk itu memang dicelupin terlebih dahulu ke susu sebelum dimasukkan ke dalam mulut.

Jangan Mau Jadi Orang Gajian Seumur Hidup

Nah solusinya ada, berwiraswastalah. Kalau tidak punya modal, pinjam dulu, jadi ada 3 hal usaha yang bisa kita lakukan yaitu BODOL, BOTOL, BODOL. Mungkin masih kedengaran aneh di telinga, namun resep ini berguna bagi yang merasa ragu-ragu dan terlalu banyak perhitungan dalam berusaha yang malah menghambat rencana untuk berwirausaha.
