Something is going on….
February 28, 2007
I don’t know how else to say it… but something is going on.
A few weeks ago, I didn’t want to upgrade to Vista, I was sick of XP filled with spywear garbage so I upgraded to Ubuntu mostly out of necessity, my machine would have never ran Vista as it’s just a Celeron with 256 of ram. Vista’s asking price plus the cost to upgrade the machine would not be a viable option.
Uninstalled XP, Installed Ubuntu… and volia … the freaking thing went 10x faster than before… no serious problems … openoffice worked like a charm.. wifi card worked… could go though the microsoft Windows network, no problem.
Been using it for a few weeks and my fairly computer illiterate mom visits my house and asks if she could check her e-mail.. I was typing on my other windows machine, my wife had her laptop at work… leaving just the Ubuntu Machine open for her use.
I gave her the laptop… totally forgetting about Linux on it.. and I hear from the other room ‘What’s the Username?” and “What’s the password” I shouted them over to her..
About a minute later.. I hear “Is Firefox like Internet Explorer?” I shout back yes… still forgetting it’s linux… thinking to myself “what the hell is she doing poking around on my computer”
I walk over to her and see her checking her web mail… has another tab open going to her MLS listings (she is a Realtor) and another tab open searching for stuff on Google.
then it hit me… my Mom was using Linux and didn’t even notice.
When I am saying Something is going on… something is going on… 3 years ago Linux wasn’t this easy to use….
Microsoft already lost the Internet… I have a sinking feeling that they are about to lose the desktop as well.

US News and World Report is blaming Matt Drudge for causing the stock market crash.
However, the Internet is not a vaild medium right.. just a fad?
Stop Picking On Scott
February 27, 2007
Ok people, I left Scott’s last name out of this blog post on purpose because the intention of this is not to rank for his name..
Just because SEO’s can wreck havoc on an individuals name doesn’t mean we should.  I know this wasn’t a goal, but overall Scott seems to want to work with us rather than continue to bash the industry… I can live with one person not knowing our industry.. as compared to ones that know it.. and continue to bash it.
Just do what you feel is right.. in my opinion… bashing someone willing to learn isn’t.

February 27, 2007
TSA locks are those locks that allow Airport Security to open your luggage but not the bellhop at the hotel. However it appears that those TSA locks from Travel Sentry have been doing serious Patent Infringement. No Ad Agency on earth can save Travel Sentry from Patent Infringement
Google to flood internet with video spam ads via Adsense
February 26, 2007
Google is working with Dow Jones & Company, Conde Nast, Sony BMG Music Entertainment and other large content companies to syndicate their video content on other Web sites. The videos appear inside Google ad boxes on sites that are relevant to the content of the videos, and advertisements run during or after the content. Google shares the ad revenue.
Ad Agencies are still spending money to spam TV :)

iPhone ad airing tomorrow
February 25, 2007
Apple will be airing an ad tomorrow during the Academy Award’s broadcast on ABC. The ad will be the first iPhone ad, which is coming this summer. My question is why are they wasting money on ads for this phone, the Main Stream and Blogging Media have done serious promotion already for it.. it’s wasted money.
Google is Testing New Adsense Ads
February 25, 2007
Initially the ads mainly seemed to be appearing on big websites and I thought they were something premium publishers were testing but in the last couple of days it has become clear that they’re testing them more widely and I’ve seen them on many blogs in quite a few impressions.
They also seem to be promoting Google Checkout more and more in some of the rotations.
Yahoo Publisher Network’s Trojan Horse
February 25, 2007
Yahoo! was slow to the contextual ad game, but they are here now. They finally rolled out Yahoo Publisher Network (YPN), but it
’s still in beta — you can’t actually get an account immediately, but rather only be considered for the program. Publishers have been using Google AdSense — why would they switch? I wouldn’t switch .. Yahoo’s traffic is lower, plus the results of the PPC program are almost identical to the normal results, meaning that people are clicking on it thinking they are real results.
