So will you ever leave messages or videos on your blog or website before you die? Will you let people know your plan days before you commit a senseless act of violence?

In a recent tragic incident, a 22-year-old shooter named Jared Lee Loughner attempted to assassinate Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. The very troubled gunman left the Democratic lawmaker from Arizona in a very critical condition (as of this writing) when the bullet hit the congresswoman’s head through and through. Five others died and 14 others were injured from the shooting spree. But what was interesting were the messages that the suspect left online.

Based on the videos he made and posted via YouTube, he is clearly a very troubled man. I watched all the videos, and although most of the time I could not understand his point, everything appeared to be anti-government zealotry. He said “In conclusion, reading the second United States Constitution, I can’t trust the current government because of the ratifications: the government is implying mind control and brainwash on the people by controlling grammar. No! I won’t pay debt with a currency that’s not backed by gold and silver! No! I won’t trust in God!”

All videos with texts were posted about three weeks before the horrifying attack.

This “Quick Find (Links Only)” search bar (aka Quick Find bar) that constantly appears at the bottom of the screen each time I type an apostrophe inside a text box is annoying to the max! It will not allow me to type, for instance, “won’t” or “I’m” or anything that has an apostrophe. Quick googling revealed the culprit – the Mozilla Firefox browser. Mozilla is actually aware of the browser issue and acknowledged users’ complaints by offering some quick solutions/fixes.

Solution 1: Fix the problem by updating your Firefox version. Most of the causes of this issue are fixed in the latest version of Firefox.

Mediacom Internet Service sucks! It was just few months ago when I complained about the sudden interruption of Mediacom’s Cable TV service without any notice. Today, it is Mediacom’s Internet Service that has completely malfunctioned!

According to Mediacom, network problems are responsible for a widespread loss of internet service that began Tuesday night and continue Thursday. The company said that the loss of internet service is not related to the ice storm. Mediacom further said that their network engineers are still troubleshooting the cause of the outage.

Don’t be fooled by those Gmail phishing emails sent to you. I have been receiving these emails from time to time and I know by just reading the title that the emails are fraud. The fake emails are intended to steal your personal information. Here is what I got today:

So how would you know it’s fake? Simple.

There is this poster who leaves comments on my every post every day, without a miss, for months now. The poster carries the name bathmateus; sometimes it’s bath mateus.

I love comments. But not coming from this bathmateus, who obviously just spamming my blog entries and promoting his website. I visited one time the link that always comes with his spam comments and I was directed to a site about solution to erectile dysfunction.

From popular news sites to blogs, people are writing about the Carrie Prejean sextape video. Is there really a Carrie Prejean sextape video that is free for download online? The answer, NO! It is not out there. Not on the net!

I am writing this because if you try searching for the video using the keywords “Carrie Prejean sextape video,” you will end up with Google results showing links directed to virus-infected sites. There are many of them. Please be aware that once your PC is infected with the virus or malware, it is very likely that your personal information could be stolen and used by the phishers.

A few minutes ago, I approved my 128th “Facebook” pal. Do I hear hurrah? Okay, I do not have to blow my own horn as it is too small a number compared to many other members who probably are growing their list of friends every day, even reaching the cap of 5000. While these “others” have been opening and owning multiple profiles to accommodate newly-found online friends, here I am stuck to my slow-growing barely one-friend-a-month account. But it is understandable, for I have never been a fan of the social network anyway. Hence, accumulating over a hundred of so-called friends may suffice for now.
