starhub closes their eyes on spam reporting

Yes. As the subject says, at least they close their eyes on spams reported to them from me. There is no reply anymore from them whenever I sent in spams from their users. They used to reply the usual mails that I should include the headers the usual stuff. They did not take any actions. Or maybe they did. They blocked me from sending more spam reports. I guess it is ok. I could block all the starhub names into my domain. Anyway who in these days uses their ISP email? They are stingyly small on diskspace. Everyone have a Yahoo, hotmail or gmail. I may even forward my spams from you to spamcop. You are free to close your eyes on spams reporting from some oversea server, but the user isn't from oversea. That said, I will let spamcop put you on their list.

Cell phone cancer link

Recent reports seems to be concluding that heavy usage of mobile phones will give you risk of having cancer in the brain. While the report did not say that it is the final answer, it seems to agree that mobile phone and cancer are very linked. So if you talk on your phone most of the day, it is like exposing to poison. And with young children having their own phones, it seems irresponsible from the adults, knowing all the while that such a link to cancer have been in debate would not play it safe. So it seems to be late to know about the result given that many people can't live without them.

A-Ha will quit

Yes. As the title says, A-Ha have call it quits. It is shocking, at least to fans like myself. The only decent music left that I like is quitting. Not that other bands don't put out nice music but they don't sound to my liking. While they do want to spend time on other stuffs, the selfish fans would certainly like them to continue as A-ha. One of the greatest 80s group they stand among others liek Pet Shop Boys and Erasure. Of course it would be good for them to quit with all the success then being fade out. I can be sure there will be another Greatest Hits album coming. If you are lucky, they might be back again. Meanwhile they will always be the greatest band ever.

Problems over new OS

It always will occurs. Whenever a new release OS, there will always be problems. In what way, take the latest Apple OS Snow Leopard, users complained of data loss. Apple acknowledged and is looking to fix it. Data loss as compared to those other types of issue such as hacker or network related is more critical. You wouldn't want your photos or important documents to go puff? So why is this even happening? While the MacOS can only run on a mac machine, I don't see any competitor OS. The issue could be because they want to be first over the upcoming Windows7. Or maybe the OS have gotten to big to being an OS. Too many features, functions. All these should just be split into a separate disc and manage by a separate programmers. The good old days of OS is simply to run your machine and to manage your files. Now you got all these wireless, bluetooth, ipod.... You expect too much features and here you go, features that include errors that got missed because it is too big, and too little time. So while this is on the MacOS, wait until Windows7 release and you can bet in time that they too might have their own issue. It happens to every other versions of Windows. If they could minimize the type of issue it would be normal but something like data loss is unacceptable.

end of the world theories

It seems there is a recent interest into End of the World stuff. The movie 2012 will be in theater soon. 2012 is about the end of the world and the year 2012 is the year everyone believes to be the end. Why 2012 then? Because the Mayans calendar seems to stop at that year. It seems modern Mayans is unable to explain why but they assure that there are dates going after 2010. I would think that if there is a end of the world, no one will be able to predict. It would come from space, such as a unknown death rays from nearby stars that incinerate all life or from within Earth, such as too hot or too cold or even all land mass melted as the central core destabilized. So far the only theory is that the Sun will "dies" in a few billion years time and it will vapourised the Earth. Whatever would be the end of the world I don't think it will be the usual what we know of in term with scientific explanation. It would be something which our science be unable to explain and if that do  happens, no one will know what hit them.

Singtel Mio got the EPL

I am not sports fan. I don't even watch much TV. But the recent news about Singtel Mio got the EPL coverage from Starhub got the sport fans fumming makes me wonder, will Mio get the fans just by EPL? In this age of internet where people exchange informations easily from internet, most of the net users probably have heard, about some issue on Mio. At least if I do a search, I do have people posting about that since as early as 2007. But is the Mio refer to the Internet, land line or pay TV? Most feedback seems to be on internet. If you look at it that way, Mio connects all their services using their fix phone lines, if they have encounter downtime with internet, would it affect TV? As far as I know, the phone are changed to digital, if the internet goes down your phone will be down with it. Should affect TV since they all connect to the same line. So I wonder if the sport fans do get Mio, they either not much a net user or they do not have any pay TV and don't mind getting one. This is a chance for Singtel to show us if they improve on their Mio or show everyone that the risk is there. You signed up you can't terminate early. Time will tell.
