Apparently, Yahoo’s partnership with Mcafee has some minor glitch. Yahoo Search tags a Google result as malware. Curiously, searching for “google” doesn’t display this warning. Searching for “altavista” does.

Do you think this is an honest mistake, a prank or a joke? Whatever it is, my guess is Google is not laughing.

Update: Yahoo already fixed the glitch concerning Google.  However, one site, whose not as big as Google, is also affected by this anomaly.  The site owner claims they are not spammers as tagged by Yahoo Search.  E-mail correspondence with Yahoo, so far, isn’t doing very well, according to the site owner.  Ouch!

clue: I wasn’t blogging. (Or was I?)

I don’t care. I just want him to win titles.
For all the hardwork he’s put through, he deserves all the luck to win it all.

I’ve been to a number of provinces in the Visayas region last year. Every single time, I needed a Wi-Fi connection because my job required an Internet connection.

I’ll be updating this post as I get to know new Wi-Fi hotspots in the provinces. Please comment if you know of any hotspot in the provinces. I intentionally excluded Davao and Metro Manila because I believe it’s not hard to find hotspots in those cities. Read more »

Two years ago today, I finally decided to quit smoking. At my “peak”, I smoked at about 1 pack a day. I smoked the heaviest when I worked as a Web programmer in Manila for about 2 years.

Job-related stress made me smoke heavier. During mancom meetings, I went out and smoked. During departmental meetings, I smoked. When I went to the bathroom, I smoked. Read more »

• Grisoft’s AVG 8.0 is out.
• Windows XP SP3 is out.
• I think Maria Ozawa is beautiful (not as beautiful as my wife, of course).

I believe I am antisocial. I generally don’t want to participate in conventions, seminars, eyeballs, social gatherings and the like. I have a number of reasons why I am like this but for now, I’d like to disclose one: I’m too lazy to go somewhere.

Now, trying to socialize online is another story. I don’t have to go somewhere to “mingle”. I just need my laptop and an Internet connection. Read more »

So, you blog… and your blog is hosted on either Blogger or Wordpress.com. You write well (or you think you write well) but still you think something’s wrong with your blog site. What could it be? It’s right at the tip of your tounge. No, it’s not your cigarette. Riggght, the URL of your blog is not quite cool or catchy. Read more »

A new security camera can “X-ray” you without you knowing it. Cool, huh? This new gadget is called ThruVision T5000 and can pick up Terahertz rays or T-rays. Apparently T-rays are emitted by all objects and can pass through clothing or walls.

So what’s the difference between a “T-ray” and an X-ray? Well, with the T-ray, you don’t have to pass through a “door”. Also, this gadget does not emit radiation. In fact, it does the reverse, it picks up on it. Read more »

This woman loves stray cats.  She already has 60-plus cats (and counting) and loves every single one of them.  She doesn’t pick “good-looking” stray cats.  In fact, she only picks up the sick kittens who are left on the streets to their own devices. She nurtures these sick kittens, transforming them into healthy, handsome and beautiful cats. Read more »
