Privilege Of Free Information

What is going on in the cyberspace right now?  Trending the SOPA/PIPA bill that the US Congress is wanting to pass.  It is becoming a very serious issue on the Internet community.  The SOPA or Stop Online Piracy Act (Congress 2011) is a counterpart of the PIPA or Protect Intellectual Property Act (Senate 2008).  

So let's get to what I wanted to express here.  I am opposed to this.  Why?  Because all in all, it will cripple the Internet.  Does it mean they will block connection from the outside world?  Could be. There is gonna be a huge impact on websites, web browsing, e-commerce, and even online freedom of speech. 

Internet user like me always surf and search using the privilege of free information.  I am very thankful that the Internet is another way of communicating with family and friends. 

Quick Tips For Buying A Used Cell Phone

Saving money is very important.  Yes it is.  If you do not want to buy brand a new cell phone, buying a used one to save money on cell phones is acceptable depending on your budget.  So here are quick tips for buying used cell phones:

• Make sure phone is compatible with your cellular network.  Research online or call service provider to confirm.
• Do not buy lost or stolen!  Ask to see original receipt, or look up serial number (usually under battery, sometimes called IMEI, MEID or ESN).  Then call provider to verify.  NEVER buy if seller will not let you research.
• Test the phone.  Ask seller to fully charge the phone so you can "test drive" features.

Always be careful in making transactions.  I hope these tips help.

Today's Humor: New Number

A woman was getting swamped with calls from strangers. The reason? A billing service had launched an 800 number that was identical to hers. When she called to complain, she was told to get a new number.

"I have had mine for twenty years," she pleaded. "Couldn't you change yours?"

The company refused, so she said, "Fine. From now on, I am going to tell everyone who calls that their bill is paid in full."

The company got a new number the next day.
