Now everyone knows the controversy about the hex key 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 If you still don't know about it, then read it here.
The information which They tried to suppress is now every where on web. Just have a look.
BTW, how do you like my new poem? All numbers and preceding them uppercase letters are entirely accidental.
there were 09 planets in the solar system Fucking 9 planets not 11 and not 02 but exactly 9 Damn planets right in the middle and everyone seemed happy
until 74 professors meet on the conference and started to wonder: "we should have Exactly 3 planets in our system" – proposed one other opposed: "regarding number of planets, my colleague's idea with 5 Bothers me a little shouldn't we make them Deliberately 8?"
41 professors liked the idea, but 56 voted against it. the revolutionists mobilized their base and Called 5 scholars who couldn't come to ask about their opinion and couple more sent their votes via e-mail at the end 63 votes for the change and 56 were still against it
"nnow wwhen wwe hhave oonly 88 pplanets wwhih oone sshould wwe rremove?" - asked the stammerer "pluto" – their all agreed. there was no point in keeping this planet disney stopped paying for the product placement years ago
but the point is – how many normal people they asked? people from different Countries? 0. shame on them. let's go and watch a movie.
A new site has evolved from nowhere* to help people in getting there story to front page of digg. And they are selling there help.
Subvert and Profit who refer themselves as new black market, charge advertisers $1 for each digg and pays the digger $0.5 per paid digg. Also they are offering a deal of $0.75 per paid digg to first 500 diggers who join there gang.
There has been similar sites on net in the past(like this), but most of them failed to protect their users' privacy. This new S&P site claims that they've engineered new tricks that will make their users' activity appears normal.
Quoted from their blog:
Our algorithm selects users to Digg a story based on how unrelated they are in terms of their Digging history. This is key, because one of the primary methods of detecting “gaming behavior” is seeing if the same group of users Diggs the same stories repeatedly.
We hide the story you are paid to Digg in a short list of randomly selected stories that you will Digg as well. These stories also show up with the same relative frequency as the paid stories. This prevents Digg from making accounts on our site to see which stories are paid for, and then banning the users who vote for them.
We never link directly to Digg.
We verify our users’ Digg activity through a complex string of proxies.
And there was something funny (or not so funny) in there blog. The blog has two post till now which are signed as ' Posted by Ragnar Danneskjold and Vasili Taleniekov'
I know about Ragnar Danneskjold. A famous character from Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. And when I did a quick Wiki search on Vasili Taleniekov, I found this:
Vasili Vasilivich Taleniekov, the man called The Serpent, master strategist, KGB, the Soviet Union's most brilliant intelligence tactician, is both executioner and negotiator, hunter and quarry. He has spent twenty-five years in ruthless pursuit of Moscow's enemies. He, too, is tired and weary of the futility of the intelligence community, but there is no one better in all of Russia.
*Also In the end of there FAQ, the answer for Who are you? is: We are whomever you want us to be. We come from nowhere and we are everywhere.
They are creating a buzz on web right now. But lets see how far they go. I doubt...... :)

As I type this, I am supposed to be in San Diego, delivering a workshop at the ETech conference. But I'm not. I'm at home, with the doors locked, terrified. For the last four weeks, I've been getting death threat comments on this blog. But that's not what pushed me over the edge. What finally did it was some disturbing threats of violence and sex posted on two other blogs...
Internet provides a immense scope of anonymity, and I consider it a great gift. But I feel really sad when people use this facility for granted and cross the line upto the extent of serious criminal offense.
Just see where we are going. It this the world we all want to live in?
Orkut has launched a new feature of adding polls in Orkut communities.
Right now this poll feature is no available in all the Orkut communities. Orkut says:

Last week I have noticed a sudden fall in my blog visitors through Google.I took the matter lightly. But the problem persisted. Four days back, while checking the source code of my blog, I found nofollow and noindex robot tags inserted in the Meta data of my blog. I was shocked because I haven’t used those robots in the template of my blog. When I inquired about it, I think that new Google Blogger is injecting these tags automatically in some blogger blogs who have recently switched to new blogger from classic blogger. This was the reason why I lost all of my Google Juice. I removed those robots from my blog code and republished it. But till now Google haven’t crawled my blog. I was simply heartbroken. I have worked hard on this blog since last three months.
Because of this whole Google Dance, I lost my interest in this blog. I planned moving to Wordpress. I brought my domain and web hosting and got Wordpress 2.1 installed.
But then last night I felt really nostalgic about Blogger. I started blogging around fifteen months back with my personal blog on blogspot. Blogger was my first home.I love Blogger, so I have decided to stick to it.What If Google don’t crawl my blog? What if Technical Bliss never appears on Google.com again? It really doesn’t matters to me now. My blog has a good readership and I cannot disappoint them. I want them to find a new post on my blog each and everyday. What else I can hope is that Google do crawl my blog soon. If anyone can help me to get my blog on Google soon, I will be highly thankful.
Usually I try my best to keep my personal emotions away while posting on Technical Bliss, but today is the time to say thanks to some great and loving people who have helped me in the course of my life. Without them Technical Bliss was impossible.
Thanks to Rishi and Atul for their kind faith on me. Rishi is a real wiz kid (although he never likes calling kid : P). He is a school going kid and an excellent blogger, His knowledge about computers and internet amazes me. But the best part of him his that he is really helpful. Yesterday he worked for hours to set up my Wordpress blog. He is simply great. Atul, who usually calls me ‘Bhai ji’, has shown a real faith in me.
I also thanks Meeta, Bhajji, Chetan, Shekhar, Shival, Ankit, Anoop and Dushy for there support and love.
And not to forget Abhishek Gupta, with whom I have seen my dreams turning into reality.
And above all I pay my regards to the readers of Technical Bliss for their support and love for my blog. I assure you that you all that this place will rock again as before.
Till now Gmail was freely available in some countries like US. In other countries you needed an invitation from a pre-existing Gmail user to have your own Gmail account. Gmail is now offering a free signup in the countries across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, as well as in Brazil, Australia, Russia and Japan.
So if you are from any of the above country you can create a Gmail account by signing up here.
Today when I have tried to log into my blogger (old) for posting, I was bit amazed. Instead of taking me to my Dashboard, Blogger asked me migrate my blog account to new blogger (which is through Google account). It seems that Google is now forcing old blogspot users to go for new blogger.
Anyways, now Technical Bliss has migrated to new blogger. And I will be looking up for more tips tricks and hacks for new blogger now onwards.
Chad Hurley, the founder of YouTube, has confirmed that his YouTube will share the ad revenue with its users.
Now am really intersted to see that how YouTube will incorporate this mechanism. Will they go for something like google adsense (based on per click or per view) or will they develop some fresh approach.
BBC also reported that the offer will apply to the users who own the complete copyright of the uploaded video.
Just two days back Yahoo brought MyBlogLog in to the fold. Thumbs Up for the guys at MyBlogLog.
And I have something more to tell you people. Technical Bliss is in Top 50 of Mybloglog communities. Thanks to all the readers of Technical Bliss for their support and love to my blog.
Technorati celebrates its second tag anniversary today. So we can say HAPPY B'DAY to Technorati tags. On this occasion technorati has launched a new tag page. Visit it here.
PayPerPost has today announced its second phase of full disclouser model in which it is mandatory for participating consumer content creators to disclose their sponsored status. It is expected that this step will more transparency to the web advertising industry.
From PayPerPost Press release:
"Since creating the concept of sponsored posting, PayPerPost has allowed and encouraged transparency, enabling marketers and bloggers to disclose word-of-mouth (WOM) or buzz marketing relationships. The company provides bloggers with tools to empower disclosure and has popularized the concept of adopting a Disclosure Policy for all bloggers through DisclosurePolicy.org. Consistent with WOM industry guidelines, PayPerPost also prohibits marketers who use the PayPerPost marketplace from requesting no disclosure. Today’s announcement builds upon that foundation.
“The mission of PayPerPost has always been to be the top marketplace connecting bloggers and marketers,” said Ted Murphy, chief executive officer of PayPerPost. "We have always believed that the marketplace will naturally evolve based upon needs of the marketers and bloggers participating in the market. Proper transparency for WOM marketing has been an ongoing balance for our members and an issue with little legal precedent. Although the FTC was petitioned and recently declined any formal action against buzz marketing practices (e.g. Proctor & Gamble Tremor, BzzAgents), we believe the marketers and bloggers in our marketplace will benefit from today’s Terms of Service updates. We will undoubtedly lose some marketers and bloggers in the process, however we believe this measure serves our marketplace participants long term."
As part of this announcement, we invite a competing and even larger part of the WOM marketing industry, affiliate marketers, to join PayPerPost in mandating full disclosure. Mary Engle, FTC director of advertising practices, recently stated "the FTC examines a number of criteria in deciding whether to bring a case against a marketer but usually looks more closely at actions that lead consumers to make purchase decisions. Some word-of-mouth marketing is focused on getting consumers to visit websites rather than to make immediate purchases." Given that affiliate programs, regardless of FTC disclosure adherence, specifically reward bloggers for driving immediate purchases, affiliate marketers are encouraged to mandate disclosure, or embrace WOM marketplaces like PayPerPost that deliver the highest online marketing ROI with less risk of future FTC scrutiny.
PayPerPost’s new Terms of Service require participating content creators to fully disclose site wide with a prominent Disclosure Policy or on a per post basis. To cover the increased blogger and marketplace costs of the company’s new policy, PayPerPost is raising the minimum price per post by one dollar to five dollars per post. The company's marketplace remains the lowest cost, highest value provider of online WOM or buzz marketing. “PayPerPost believes that its marketing partners will support this new pricing structure. Although our operating costs will increase slightly due to today’s move, the net result is a stronger communications environment for all. We encourage online WOM networks of all kinds, whether blog-based, affiliate or other models, to follow suit.”
