This also means their doing a major network upgrade and it should be completed in time for the iPhone to hit their store shelves for November just in time for Christmas. The iPhone has been available to Canadian subscribers from the rival networks Rogers AT&T and Fido who has had the joys of having the iPhone 3G monopoly for the last two years.Apple's iPhone

This will arrive just in time for Bell and Telus to compete with Rogers on the iPhone 3GS sales, previously Roger and Fido were selling the second version iPhone 3G, but with the latest 3GS releases, both Fido and Roger are sold out and back ordered in most of their local retail stores.

My top 10 favourite WordPress plug-ins

WordPress Logo

I’ve been using WordPress as back-end for all of my websites since 2007. I started with PHP-Nuke back in 2000 and I moved to Geeklog after getting tired of how things were managed by the single PHP-Nuke developer and ran with it for a good 7 years until I finally made the switch to WordPress and never looked back.

The main reasons I never had to look elsewhere is the plug-ins developments on WordPress is close to amazing. The developers work hard at creating various plug-ins and these plug-ins can do almost anything imaginable.

I wanted to list just a few of the WordPress plug-ins that I use and that made my top 10 favourite list for being reliable and still maintained by their developers. Continued…

Watch TV shows on YouTube

I just noticed in the list of new features on YouTube today that they now include full length TV shows and movies.

I saw some HBO and CBS shows already uploaded like True Blood, Big Brother and many more just uploaded hours ago :)

Currently there are 71 full length episodes of Star Trek.

I’m really excited about this since Hulu is not available in Canada!

Stand Up Take Action: To Make Poverty History!

This came into my e-mail this morning and figured it was worth mentioning, it’s from the the same group of people that organized the Live G8 concerts back in 2007. If you can do something about it then do it. Below I also include a YouTube video of Pink floyd @ the Live G8 concerts.

On October 16, 17 and 18, millions of people around the world will “Stand Up and Take Action” to demand that world leaders end poverty and achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

STAND UP is a three day global mobilization to show our solidarity with anti-poverty activists around the world. We want to break a Guinness World Record (again) for the largest coordinated mobilization of people and send the strongest message possible to leaders around the world – “no more excuses: act now to end global poverty”.

Stand Up can be a large event or it can be a short moment on one of these 3 days.  Essentially, it is a gathering of people who agree to stand up and read the Stand Up Pledge. Those who stand up are then counted and the number is submitted to www.standagainstpoverty.org. Stand Up moments can be inserted into pre-existing events, like sports games, faith gatherings, conferences, concerts, classrooms etc.

Last year, close to 80 000 Canadians stood alongside almost 117-million world-wide. This year we hope to have a much larger number of Canadians participate because we want to send a strong message to the government that hundreds of thousands of Canadians want bold action taken to make poverty history both globally and here in Canada.

The Stand Up and Take Action mobilization this year is encouraging those organizing Stand Up events to promote specific actions people can take to help make poverty history.

New Facebook Malware Attack Is Spreading

I ran into that profile trying to add me as a friend. I might of accepted since the picture is cute lol. But either way, just looking at the profiles about me, the link by far does not look like a video link for starters, and for seconds there are millions of fake accounts on Facebook. Also, why would she not be using Facebook’s built in video function to share her “home video”. The fakes are usually created for games, or spreading malware. People have to be careful on what they click at all times, it don’t matter where it comes from. I mean if you want go crazy paranoid all your wi-fi traffic could get re-routed anywhere.

Just the other day I ran into a picture with well over 10,000 tags, guess what that created a major e-mail spam list. Facebook wont even let you report the image if your tagged, so good luck and have fun un-tagging your self. (If the browser wont crash that is).

So to keep safe

  1. Use a VPN to surf if you have no router (public wi-fi).
  2. Have some kind of router between your modem and computer.
  3. Keep weekly backups so you can restore your PC without having to reinstall everything.

When Facebook attacks, it’s not pretty. We were just remarking on how new ways of spreading malware were plaguing social media, and now the second Facebook-related scam in the past week appears to be spreading.
