Pentax reveals 40MP DSLR monster, the 645D
Pentax’s latest medium-format DSLR is an absolute monster. Called the 645D, it packs 40 Megapixel onto its thirty three millimeter by forty four millimeter sensor. Got that? Forty megapixels. That’s completely ridiculous, even for a DSLR, and usually I’d argue that’s way too many megapixels to take good pictures even with a great camera… by [...]

Majic Jack Dangerous Puts Spyware On Computer – The Hidden Truth Behind Majic JackPosted Jan-28-09 19:17:31 PSTreal problems with magic jack …. is majic jack hiding something?
read the tos (“terms of service) for magic jack very closely. you might be surprised at what you see there. or not see there. i’ve pointed out issues with magic jack in earler articles on broadband nation (see archives). but this revelation should make you very concerned.
in short … to quote a favorite cartoon character …. “be afwaid, very afwaid”.
this is just pointing out the not-so-obvious that is hidden deep within the tos, and other ‘gotcha’s’ that you won’t realize until after you give up your $ and privacy!
first:
here is the contact info for magicjack:
po box 6785
west palm beach, fl 33405
magic jack phone number: 281-404-1551
billing magicjack number: 561-594-2140
caution: it looks like they track the number that calls and places you into a repeating loop if you call back a second time. so if you need to call a second time make sure its from a different number.
second:
in the tos you agree that everything in your computer is fair game for them to know about, all web sites, email, and numbers called are there info.
you agree to have all of your information resold to third parties.
there is no un install for this program. even if you stop using it, it gathers your information.
you are put under high pressure to sign up and pay for 5 years.
there is no published phone number, email address, or mailing address.
all customer support is done via type in the box chat.
there is no written warranty on the box. it breaks, you buy another to maintain your service.
computer must be left on to make or receive calls.
pop up window comes to front of screen anytime there is a call in or out call.
majicjack spyware slows down your computer even when you are not using magicjack
advertising is in the pop up box.
and yes, you do save around $150 a year not using a real voip company.
at what little price people put on the information and security.
so ask yourself, is it really worth it?
wait …. there’s more.
majic jack is owned and run by ymax. they are not a stand alone voip provider.
also …..
“the software for the magicjack does not run directly from the device. it fully installs on the windows system, which also makes the magicjack less attractive for situations where one might want to use it on someone else’s computer (say when visiting family). making this even worse, there was no easy way to uninstall the software from the system, with the program not even showing up in the windows remove program window. update: magicjack confirmed that there is currently no easy way to uninstall the software. the process required to uninstall the software requires multiple windows registry edits and the removal of several folders on the windows system. based on this, i wouldn’t recommend using the magicjack on the systems of friends, family or business associates.” — (see magicjack fails to cast a voip spell)
nobody should accept having to leave unwanted software on a personal computer, or any tell-tale trace of the mj program on a public computer, a business workstation, or a borrowed device.
the key concepts here are action and intent. if mj is not actively monitoring computer activity and collecting data about its customers, that’s great. they would be taking no action that anyone could be concerned about.
but consider their intent. their tos spell out their intent — the intent to feed context sensitive advertising, which requires manipulation of information from your brain through their software into their processors. there seems to be little restriction of what info their software can see. (kind of like your home builder installing bugging devices and cameras into your bedroom, just not yet watching the feed.) then there is the ability of mj to modify their software (upgrape, anyone?) at any time, without the common user’s ability to stop it, and that revision could include the spyware coding. while you, the uncommon user, have the ability to see what they are doing, the common user has no idea when the change is made. now let’s consider mj’s intent of not building in an uninstall capability. i am suggesting that this exposes mj’s intent to have their software on your pc whether you’re an active phone customer or not. what would be the intent of having that software on the pc of a former customer? (consider, also, their “convenience” feature of taking the device with you so you can use it on a friend’s pc — thus installing the software on that machine, too!) what information could that software obtain that would be of value to mj? and what could the common user do to stop it?
mj could shut down their phone service tomorrow, and they have a window into 1 million pcs — to feed advertising, log key strokes, and obtain surfing patterns.

I am wondering if anyone else is having the same problem with the Nortel Network program and if you have a solution? I have DSL High Speed Line and the system disconnects at certain times of the day, yet at other times it runs fine. Have any suggestions to help make my VOIP run smooth?

This IDC study explores the competitive environment in the Philippine Voice over IP (VoIP) services market, in light of the current and possible future regulatory scenarios. In the Philippines, VoIP is still at an infancy stage and is still very much a gray market, where no regulations specifically address this technology. Thus, it has opened the market for various interpretations as far as regulation is concerned. In recent times, however, VoIP has been the subjec… More >>

Folks, my internet in India is a USB connection that goes into my laptop. Now, i wanted to connect a Vonage VoIP phone which accepts a RJ45 cable input. I’m wondering how do i go about doing that? I think 1 way would be if there’s a router that would accept a USB internet connection, and then i can run multiple ethernet cables from it, 1 to laptop and 1 to phone….but i dont know if such a router exists…pls help??
Mark Ecko, who Bonds called “an idiot”, purchased it on an on on-line auction for $752,467. He set up a web site asking the public what they wanted him to do with it. The public ended up voting to have it shipped to the Hall of Fame with an asterisk stamped on it. What do you think of that ???
