Reply to please remove in Search Engines WinCustomize Forums

Actually, no one at Google has modded the search engine to show the autobiography of Dubya when one searches "failure." Rather, this result was done by using a method called googlebombing. In a nutshell, googlebombing works by having a whole bunch of people click on a hyperlink that says "failure" that leads to our favorite president's autobiography. When Google's web crawlers look at the immense traffic from one site that links "failure" to

Wow! Old news! And I can only see this as a childish prank. Wow, you made George W. Bush look like a failure! Great job. Now go give yourself a pat on the back, i'm sure your friends in sixth grade English will be proud of you. This isn't even funny. And before you start to say i'm pro-Bush, you can't be farther from the truth. Just because I don't endorse something attacking one guy doesn't mean i'm automatically on that man's si

Reply to need a gmail account? in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

When Google announced gmail there was a flurry about their plan to scan mail to target advertising. The web browser gmail service scans your emails and uses key words from them in advertisements from Google Ads (those word-only ads that you see every so often). That's the only scanning that Google doe

Damn you, male hormones! Anyways, very interesting. A lot of tech support these days can be somewhat dumb, but i've never had an encounter like that. Then again, a lot of computer users are dumb, too, so it kinda balances out.

Something about the ads that bugs me... in WinCustomize Site Issues WinCustomize Forums

If WinCustomize is a website featuring "safe" screensavers, walls, cursors, and such, then why do I see so many ads featuring "FREE EXCITING CURSORS CLICK HERE"? I know I could subscribe and get rid of them (which is what I plan to do later in the month), and i'm not asking them to be fixed, I was just thinking of how funny and ironic it is.

Yes, Microsoft is known for it's monopoly, but in pretty much every platform they work in they have competition; their OSes are challenged by Apple, their gaming console has competition from Nintendo and Sony, their search service is pinned down by Google and Yahoo, etc. However, as far as I know, the only two companies that work on PDA OSes are Palm and Microsoft. If Microsoft attempts a takeover, the advance of the PDA, at least software-wise, will s
