Wikipedia, Google, Wordpress, Diaspora, Reddit and Others are Against SOPA and PIPA

January 18, 2012 0 comments


Wikipedia, the largest online encyclopedia was covered with total darkness. This was after they announced their participation against the most controversial bill in the U.S. Government, the Stop Online Privacy Act(SOPA) and Protect IP Act (PIPA). When you're about to visit their site, you can see for a period of time their front page site but after that they redirect you another blackened page indicating their support against the bill.
“For over a decade, we have spent millions of hours building the largest encyclopedia in human history. Right now, the U.S. Congress is considering legislation that could fatally damage the free and open Internet. For 24 hours, to raise awareness, we are blacking out Wikipedia,” says the message on the page.
Meanwhile, Google has also joined the Anti-SOPA protest by covering their logo with a black rectangular size. They even created a petition site entitled "End Piracy, Not Liberty". Here, you can freely express your sentiments against the Acts.

These were some of the sites that expressed their support against SOPA and PIPA:

Tulalip, the Microsoft leaked project

Tulalip, the Microsoft leaked project


After Google Plus Beta penetrated the social networking race and has hit 18 millions before the official launching on July 31, 2011, Microsoft is currently brewing their own arm to topple or overthrow Facebook.

This news was confirmed when somebody on that project was carelessly published Tulalip on Socl.com. This mistake happened on July 15, 2011 which VentureBeat got the latest scoop. But immediately after the leaked, Microsoft had put-down the site to cover the issue.

They posted this statement which until now it was still there when you open it.

“Thanks for stopping by. Socl.com is an internal design project from a team in Microsoft Research which was mistakenly published to the web. We didn’t mean to, honest.”

But base on that statement, it's not clearly if this incident was really true or just a mere hoax. Some speculations also that Tulalip project will be included in Windows 8 and Windows Phone. We shall now wait until next year when the new generation of Microsoft software will takes place if this are really true.

Headaches with Google Pages Account

April 18, 2009 0 comments


I'm deeply sorry for any inconvenience that you encounter during your visit here yesterday and even today. Some parts of my post for the templates were all disconnected from Google Pages. This is in connection with the new policy of Google Pages to transfer existing account to Google Sites.

Last year I got a notice from Google Pages that they are not already accepting new accounts for sign-up. I was very happy then, because I get my account from them earlier than this message, and my account will still exist despite this. But I was shock and tremble for their new policy again.

I was in panic yesterday when I saw a yellow warning on top of my account, saying this messages. That all files except Javascript and Html files will be transfer soon. And I'm beginning to think how huge will be the damage, the work to migrate files and to re-encode programs just to change links.

And that fear have been done. After I visited my account, and attempted to refresh again, my account was redirected to another pages (see above photo) and I can't even retrieve my files already. It was already been blocked.

There were no choices for me but to re-upload again the files that I lost into another account. I edited my post, my links, my entire programs and my templates. And I hope I can finish by tomorrow and it will bring back to normal.
