MySpace May Become Yahoo’s Newest Acquisition

seopinay — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 03:29:53 +0000

Hush hush talks can be heard at the corridors of MySpace and Yahoo about the rumors that the social networking site MySpace will be bought by Yahoo. These talks became louder when the impending lay off of over 500 MySpace employees will happen tomorrow. Rumors about this massive lay off has been in circulation the last few months as MySpace streamlines its company reportedly in preparation of selling the social networking site.

It was just a few months ago that MySpace radically changed their appearance online and extended its services for their users other than social networking. Admittedly MySpace was a front runner in the industry for many years but it has since been eclipsed by the popularity of Facebook. So instead of just going down into oblivion, MySpace tried to re-invent itself as the ultimate site for people to share their types of music, videos plus being a social networking site as well.

Although nothing is set in stone, the talks of an impending merger or outright acquisition of the News Corp baby is set to happen soon after they lay off about half of their current employees. The 550-600 people that will be given the sack are not surprised about this latest development as they have been informed of this decision months ago.

If indeed Yahoo does get MySpace, what will their vision be for MySpace? Will they go after the ever increasing number of Facebook users or will they evolve into something else. These questions may remain unanswered in the near future but one thing is for sure, MySpace will be in the market in the coming days.

Rumors of Facebook Closing Down Debunked

seopinay — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 15:45:04 +0000

It seems that people these days will just believe anything they read and hear especially if this news came from the Internet. Have we forgotten that the internet is easily accessible by anybody who wants to write about anything he or she thinks about? The latest brouhaha that has caught a lot of fire was the rumored end of Facebook.

The screams of all Facebook users worldwide can almost be heard the moment they got a wind of this news. Apparently, a certain website passed off as gospel truth the rumor that there will be no more Facebook beginning March 15,2011. The horror of logging in on the internet without accessing the most popular social networking site in the planet! This website has said that the founder and CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, has allegedly gotten tired of the fame and fortune so he just wants to end everything so that he could be back to to living an anonymous life.

Obviously, this rumor couldn’t be possible as there were no official news from the Facebook people themselves. When asked about the rumor, Facebook Director of Corporate Communications Larry Yu said that the rumor is not true and wants people to stop believing it. The first clue why we shouldn’t have believed this rumor in the first place is the website that published the article itself. They are the same people who said there will be an Alien invasion this year and the news about George Clooney running for President.

So all Facebook users can now continue to enjoy connecting with friends and loved ones because Facebook isn’t going anywhere.

Toyota Motors Faces over 100 Lawsuits Due to Brake Problems

seopinay — Tue, 11 Jan 2011 02:24:33 +0000

Toyota Motor Corp. is off to a bad start this year as they face a lot of cases that were filed against them. Toyota owners have filed numerous cases against the Japanese brand allegedly because of the sudden acceleration problem that their cars are vulnerable to do. With over 100 lawsuits pending in the state and federal courts, Toyota clearly has a big legal battle looming over their heads.

It can be recalled that Toyota has issued massive recalls of their vehicles because it has been found that the cars’ brake systems are flawed. The complainants have argued that their lives are put in danger because the car manufacturer did not install brake overrides that would have made their cars a lot safer. It has been found out that Toyota, as early as 2007, has began talking about ways of putting brake overrides in their vehicles as a safety precaution should the brake system malfunction. Unfortunately, Toyota has only began installing it last year after they have recalled their cars that have been plying the roads.

The legal teams that are fighting the car giant are demanding undisclosed amounts for damages claiming that Toyota’s negligence has caused countless accidents on the road including deaths. To date, there is only once case that Toyota has settled amounting to $10 million as their Lexus ES had a sudden acceleration in 2009 that claimed the lives of four people. Toyota can’t claim that the brake override system is a new sudden acceleration defense as this system has been used widely by other carmakers.

Life is all about second chances. And a second chance is what Ted Williams had after becoming an internet sensation. For those of you who have not seen nor heard the video that has been circulating worldwide, Ted is a man who lost a lot because of wrong choices made in the past. Choices that all of use are capable of doing and of bungling as well.

Ted is a homeless man who wanders the streets of Interstate 71. He is just like any other homeless guy who has unkempt hair, and a dirty and unshaven face. But all these has changed after his video circulated over the internet. Somebody interviewed him and uploaded the interview online. Ted has a sign that he carries with him saying that he has a “God given talent” and that is his voice.

He used to be a radio announcer and when success got into his head, he began experimenting on a lot of things including drugs and alcohol. When finally he realized that his choices were wrong, it was a little bit too late. He ended up with nothing and lost everything that he had.

But obviously God has other plans for him. Ted said that during the time that he was down and out it was then that he found God. Because of what he has been through, he has learned to appreciate every single day of his life and now he is back on track. The online video opened up a lot of doors for him and he is now on his way back to regaining what he has lost. All because his video was posted on the internet with with him carrying a cardboard box telling passing motorists about his “God-given talent”.

Some of the statues were depicted as playing musical instruments all representing the many indigenous groups that are found in the Philippines.

Kublai’s creations are the first pieces of art that are not made from the people of Italy. He is the first Filipino to be given the honor of making the Nativity scene and he is also the first non-Italian artist whose creations are displayed at the St. Peter’s Square.

Common Passwords = Hackable Accounts

seopinay — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 02:10:12 +0000

We have been warned and forewarned a million times over. But it seems that we do not heed the call of the wise when it comes to the kinds of passwords that we use. Let’s admit it, we all live in the digital age where usernames and passwords are as common as the air that we breath. As almost all of us have internet connection, we have a lot of sites that we go to frequently.

To answer our need of being connected with the people that we love, we must have an account to most probably Facebook or MySpace. Because we need to be heard and our thoughts need to be known by the people in our network, we Tweet with our Twitter accounts. And as everything is done online, even our banking and other sensitive transactions are made online as well.

With all these different accounts, how can we remember the passwords to each and every account. To make things easier, we try to use the password that can easily be remembered. Unfortunately, this kinds of passwords are easily remembered and recognized by hackers who are always out to victimize internet denizens.

Experts say that the most common passwords like 1234, qwerty and even password are big no-nos. They also say that your birthday or your pet’s name is also a dangerous password to use because these information are easily obtainable in your user’s profile. So the best thing to do is to create a password that is composed of letters and numbers. Write it down and lock it up in a safe place and of course, never give out your password to anybody.

seopinay — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 03:33:32 +0000

The end times is also undeniably the hardest of times to many people. It is true not only in this part of the country but also in most parts of the world including the third-world countries where rich information can also be accessed through the vast internet.

Everyday, we see people and events on the headlines. Political leaders of gigantic nations are not the only target of some controversies. Even simple and ordinary people are put to the lime light every now and then. This is only an implication that anyone, rich or poor, influential or simple, is highly capable of making either positive or negative impact in the human history.

Just recently, another world-renowned artist has been put to the hot seat and become the target of people’s scrutinies and unfounded judgments. This has become the ordeal of Christina Aguilera when her alleged racy photos have been leaked into the vastness realm of the world wide web.

Aguilera who sang her way to stardom and have made a name for herself in show business is nothing ordinary. Being one of the most famous personalities in the USA, getting involved into some controversial issues every once in a while has become part of her showbiz career. She has openly declared that she finds it more enjoyable to look at women stripping than the male ones. Are women sexier than men? A lot of people asked after she gave this remark.

Perhaps one of her biggest blows in showbiz is the most recent discovery of her semi-nude photos. Others call them racy photos that have found their way into the global streams of the internet. A lot of people from the media are claiming these photos were obtained illegally after Aguilera’s personal stylist has been victimized by a techie hacker who managed to get into the intimate files supposed to be just for personal consumption. Case is unsolved yet, but it reminds us of an important lesson—never ever keep anything that will be detrimental to your own well-being.
