The Sensitive Issue

We all want to encourage out grandparents, adults, chilren and others a sensitive disposition to surf internet. However sometimes we do end up on a video sharing website like YouTube, where the comments appear that written by friends or stranger in extreme emotional pain or porn picture in Facebook or Friendster this are strictly not encourage to appear and cause the curiousity of people tend to have a view on it. This seems like not a big issue but its influence and affected the young generation about this sensitive issue.

The online gaming chat box often happened this kind of incident where by some one you even never met before maybe is the enemy of your team then they will type all kind of emotional fault word to express their feeling. Sometimes is hard to ignore it though the administrator had control some of the fault word cannot be appear but they will have their way to type all kind of fault words. Sometimes are irritating and you are hardly to ignore it.

I had experienced in my Friendster account at the testimonial box I met friends that I do not met before and paste hot and sexy picture there. Its is normal for all of us till we are just bored to bother it and just leave it there. Are you same as me so lazy to bother this kind of situation?

China shuts down 23 websites for illegal drug sales

China's State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) has listed on-line drug sales as a priority target this year and strengthening crackdowns on false advertising of drug products, according to the food and drug watchdog.

The websites, most disguised under the names of certain hospitals or medical institutions, either sold counterfeit drugs or publicized illicit content. They included false, exaggerated or misleading information regarding cures to various ailments, the spokesman pointed out.

I felt very surprised after read this news. The people is going too far as they are selling drugs online! It's a quite embarrassing news for China as the China people are misused and forgot the importance of internet and it's touch the most highest risk in China as the punishment is heavy of selling drugs!

Luckily the government will take and tightens the law and actions to make sure their residents does not become the victims of those illegal websites.I hope the public to be alert and avoid falling victim to similar websites this is because the drugs is the harmful things for our body. So far has never heard about the Malaysia involved in this kind of illegal issue in internet thanks god and hope it won't spread in Malaysia or other countries as well!

Be careful!!

From the chart result is obviously most of our respondents are not interesting and addicted in online gambling.

In Malaysia, not much people will try for online gambling because this are not encourage especially some are parental control and if people they are mature enough they will not want to get trouble. So, is good that the result show in positive way.

Spam Issue in internet

What is SPAM?

The term SPAM was first used in the early 1990s to describe e-mail messages, not related to the topic of discussion and postings that swamped newsgroups.
Spam is flooding the Internet with many copies of the same message, in an attempt to force the message on people who would not otherwise choose to receive it. Most spam is commercial advertising, often for dubious products, get-rich-quick schemes, or quasi-legal services. Spam costs the sender very little to send -- most of the costs are paid for by the recipient or the carriers rather than by the sender.

One particularly nasty variant of email spam is sending spam to mailing lists (public or private email discussion forums.) Because many mailing lists limit activity to their subscribers, spammers will use automated tools to subscribe to as many mailing lists as possible, so that they can grab the lists of addresses, or use the mailing list as a direct target for their attacks.

Top Ten Blog tips! ways to fight SPAM!

1. Use a contact form. Don’t make your email address public. Especially not as a clickable link. Here are some more reasons to avoid using clickable email address links.

2. Use a different email for each site you sign up for. Then if one email account starts getting spammed, you only have to change it in one place. This is more to do with email spam than blog spam, though.

3. Use a different email when posting comments. Who knows if the blog you’re commenting on will keep that email private? They might start sending you messages you didn’t ask for with no way to unsubscribe. Best to use a dedicated email address just for posting comments.

4. Banning IP addresses. This is a bit extreme unless you notice some very clear patterns in the spam you receive. Also, be careful, as banning by IP can also block legitimate internet issue.

5. Moderation. This means that every comment on your blog will be held until you approve it. The downside is that it requires a lot of manual effort, and may not be an option for blogs that get hundreds of comments every day. However, if you can add users to an “approved” list so you only have to approve their first comment, this seems like a very sensible solution to the spam problem. Well, unless your blog attracts lots of new users every day and many of them only write a small number of comments.

6. Anti-spam plugins. WordPress users will probably know about Akismet, a plugin that analyses comments as they come in and attempts to flag the ones that look like spam. Generally, it works well, but no system is perfect.

7. Word verification. Also know as a CAPTCHA, this uses an image of distorted letters and numbers and requires you to type the characters into a box. Get it wrong and you have to try again. I think these are quite effective so long as they are easy to read

8. Closing comments after a specified period of time. This method works on the assumption that a few months down the line, nobody will want to add anything new to your post. Spammers seem to enjoy targeting posts that have long since disappeared from the front page of a site, hoping that the site owner won’t notice the spam.

9. Requiring registration. This is likely to limit your comments drastically, and is still not a guaranteed way to stop spam. It’s a good method for blogging networks or sites that offer more than just a blog, but it’s a bit too draconian for most blogs.

10. Turning off comments altogether. No comments, no spam, right?! OK, you might not get any comment spam this way, but don’t cut off your readers! This method is a bit extreme.

I have experienced as I opened up the mail box (hotmail) there are many junk mails and I didn't know about the sender as well. Actually all these is the SPAM email which is contains those commercial advertising, often for dubious products, get-rich-quick schemes, or quasi-legal services.

Besides that, there are also many messages that contain the "sex message" they will asked you to click and enter the web site sometimes all these is chargable. So becafeful when clicking it and identify the sender is you know them only click "show content".

Online Privacy issue in internet

Privacy is an issue refers to all of us as a user who use the web. The growth of the Internet has created a number of privacy issues and cause many victims in troubles. But nowadays this issue are common and sometimes even the users they might not know their privacy information has been steal. However, privacy and online hacking are different. Hacking always involves some degree of infringement on the privacy of others or damage to computer-based property such as files, web pages or software. Whereby Internet privacy is an important ethical issue because most organizations engaging in e-commerce have not yet developed policies and codes of conduct to encourage responsible behavior.

To avoid this to happened, few types that you may need to do is do not easily get stranger to get close to your house unless you allow them to access to all the data on it. Which mean do not easily let unknown software such as virus which it the most common incident that happen in our daily lives. The best solution is install an anti-virus program to protect your privacy data. A good anti-virus program don't pose privacy threats, also checks for and removes trojans. Some trojans can open your computer up to remote control by anyone who has the right software. computer has detected trojan, they can do anything they want with your machine. They can check your read any information or download it such as personal email, photos, banking and credit card information or account password, video, any kind of files and so on all kind of data. They might can delete it or run program. It can be controlled by them without knowing.

Fortunately, it's fairly easy to avoid becoming infected by a trojan.
-Don't ever run attachments from anyone but trusted sources.
-Download software only from reputable sites.
-Run a virus checker on every new program you install, no matter where it came from.
-Regularly update your anti-virus software, and check your system for infection frequently.
Just those few steps will drastically reduce the potential for serious invasion of your privacy

On the other hand, another common incident is email virus stalker. It happened while attachments, opened email themselves to everyone in your address book. Some of these have been set up to send private info, like passwords and account information, to their programmers.

These are usually infected MS Office file such as Word docs, Excel spreadsheets, or other MS Office documents, Acess, PowerPoint without taking proper security steps. Macro-viruses can infect any of these document types.It's also a good idea to just delete file of the types listed above that you weren't expecting. These viruses would only come from people you actually know and sometimes even the sender they do not know they was a victims as well detected by the "other Users".Again, run a virus scanner at all times. And avoid using Microsoft email programs where you can. They have some serious security problems in the default configurations.

Analysis of poll 5 question

The week 5th chart shows whether respondents have ever but the pirated software like Adobe Photoshop. There are 6 respondents (85%) have buy pirated software before and only 1 respondent (15%) never buy pirated software and they don't touch illegal issue. This is a bad sign that nowadays more people buy pirated software.

People tends to buy pirated software is because the pricing of the pirated software is much more different with the original software. they do not care about the legal law that would violate the copyright of the original software. they also don't know the consequences of using the pirated software they are many consequences as I mentioned in the previous article as well.

However, I think the original software copyrighter should lower down the pricing like many below RM100, then the people would consider to buy original instead of pirated software. buying original software is much safer and it's guaranteed the safeness of our pc, laptop, and all the documents.

Is Online Gambling Legal?

Some states have specific laws against online gambling of any kind. In addition, owning an online gaming operation without proper licensing would be illegal, and no states are currently granting online gaming licenses. Various forms of online gambling are legal and regulated in many countries. However, Malaysia has recently taken its action against Internet gambling activities.

There are some website are legal gambling and some are illegal gambling. Just beware some are illegal not proven license. Some people choose to online gambling because online gambling website is very secure so that you no need worry about your information will be publish. Besides that why people choose to online gambling because is convenient and the gambler no need to dress nice and most important they no need to carry lots of cash. Just by credit card they are able to participate.

On the other hand, Some people think that gambling is the easiest way out of being in the slums. However, the odds of losing in gambling are much higher than that of winning. The online gambling is control by the owner. For example, they are many people buying casino NO.3 then the computer will not spin to this NO. This is all control by them that's why the changes of losing is higher than winning.

Some people under age want to have a try or do not want to let parents and family know they gambling so they decide sign up for online gambling these are the important issue that public concern about especially those illegal set up trap for the newbies who do not know much about online gambling. And this is why to set up a legal online gambling website is not easy and many laws to be prove and access.

If the bill becomes law, it would essentially hit Internet gambling by choking off the money supply -- making it illegal to write a check or use a credit card or any other form of payment in gambling online. Provisions in the bill would have bank regulators use their enforcement powers to go after the banks to stop payments from going to the cyber casinos.So, getting back to our fearless sports talker, is online gambling legal this bowl season? Can't say for sure, but it may never again be so easy.
