I’ve long said that social media giants have the power to make platforms safe but CHOOSE not to. I believe social media knows every single user but chooses not to ban/block/deny users for fear of losing $$$. It shocks me that social media puts the minority of anonymous, bad users before good, honest users. Forget […]
AusPost: 11 Spam Messages
I am going to call out AusPost for SPAM. I ordered an item online on eBay.com.au for delivery from Sydney to Melbourne. It took 4 days from the order date to when the item arrived. In that time I received 14 messages: 3 emails from the supplier (2) and eBay (1) and 11 (yes, eleven) […]
Dumb Australians: Dodgy Medical Advice
How stupid are Australian’s when it comes to health? We’ll believe an unregistered quack, non scientific data found on the internet but question the science of trained registered medical professionals! To the nay-sayers, anti-vaxxers, non-believers.. you are risking your lives and the lives of your friends and family. Vaccines are one of the safest and […]
eBay Email Nightmare
My new pet hate.. the number of emails I receive after buying an item on eBay. I understand confirmation and freight emails but the sheer number has got to ridiculous proportions. Emails eBay sends them Receipts Seller sends them Transport company sends If there is a delay for any reason, then be prepared, you’re about […]
HeraldSun Clippings Stopped Working
We do enjoy reading our daily dose of the HeraldSun. Out of the blue, the 3 right side links (features) have stopped working (dead as a doornail). Clippings | Page Thumbnails | Sections <– News Stand | Search and Layout are still working I have two iPads and the links don’t work on either? The […]
Bicycles Online Dream Takes Off
I was reading an article in TheAge the other day about two clever young guys who were making their mark selling bicycles online when I read something that really annoyed me.. “none of the big brands would allow their bikes to be sold online” Isn’t that restrictive trade. You can sell our bicycles from a […]
Australia Post | Ripped-Off!
We’re being ripped off by Australia Post, with the approval of the Australian Government. While on one hand the Government says that Telstra cannot have a monopoly because it would be unfair for Australians, on the other hand it allows Australia Post to operate in a complete monopoly, a law unto itself. Australia Post decides […]
Password | Security Tips
Here he goes again, Mr Doom and Gloom! Well, not quite but read on if you use passwords. Yes, I said passwords! We all do. We use them all day every day. After reading an article by Memphis Barker, in which he asks whether you think your password is safe, then think again, I quickly […]
Richard O’Dwyer is an idiot not a copyright thief!
We are 100% behind Jimmy Wales in his calls to stop the extradition of Richard O’Dwyer to the US to face copyright infringement charges. Are they serious? The absolute worst case scenario for Richard O’Dwyer, is that he be charged with being an idiot.. O’Dwyer , 24,a multimedia student at Sheffield Hallam University, faces up to […]
Apple Fine Ridiculous
To say I am livid, bemused or even amused is an understatement reading that Apple has been fined more than $2m over its iPad – 4G claim. Ridiculous, incredulous, I don’t know where to start… The ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission) has accused Apple of misleading consumers that its iPad 3 was 4G compatible. […]
PNG images not showing on Web sites in Internet Explorer
PNG images are not displayed on Web sites in Microsoft browsers IE7 & IE8? Symptom Heres the problem, when you open a web page, only the .PNG images are not displayed. Instead, what you see is a red X, or a placeholder in place of the images (see right). What’s even more annoying, is that all other image file […]
Revenge | Hackers & Scammers
Oh they used to shit me even more than telemarketers… A lot of websites are run/managed by every day independent people, and so when a hacker/scammer comes along and hacks into their web sites, all they are doing is causing pain and hurt on the ‘little guy’. Hackers and scammers probably don’t read English so they […]
