Domain kitting or greed?

I was reading Bob Parson’s lament on domain kitting and I was a bit surprised to see the CEO of the biggest registrar in the world complaining that other registrars are making money in a dishonest way.
Well, Bob, if you and others would pay more attention, maybe you wouldn’t complain. Domain kitting happen because YOU are greedy. The fee for a domain has gotten at an all time low with godaddy selling domains for 9$ and registerfly to 3$.
But greed goes further when you have a 30 days money back guarantee.
Google spam, link farms, adsense, all comes back to money for the wise.

End of street privacy?

I read magazines and i watch online at a lot of new mobile phones. Most of them have video cameras. You can take pictures, make videos, is an useful option to have on your mobile phone. Easy access to a tool that can record a moment of our life they way it was. You get the picture.
Is this good? yes, you may say.
And then picture yourself as a cheated girlfriend with a mad boyfriend. You thought it was fun to take those private pictures? Well, wait to see them online. Mobile fun, indeed. I had to give the sad news to a friend, that a site displays intimate moments of her and her boyfriend. It was not a good moment. She suffered a depression.
I got hold of a site that displays up-skirt pics of women. Most of them of young girls, pictures taken in school classrooms or in places or situations you didn’t have a digital camera at hand. Again, a bad moment with a digital camera inside a phone.
Are we guilty for misusing the technology? Are the makers guilty for making it accessible for everybody?

First Sony Playstation Portable (PSP) mod-chip installation diagrams unveiled

Not so long ago the announcement of the Undiluted Platinum mod-chip for the PSP console shook my world. It was only one year after the release of the PSP. One week after that, a team of programers announced the first bios for the new chip which should permit booting any version of the firmware, running backup of games and by-passing any hardware protection of the PSP leaving the console open for homebrew applications.
Now, with the mod-chip diagrams here, I wonder how long will it be before the first Hong Kong bundles with the chip integrated?
In other matter of speaking, how long will the first PS3 mod-chip take to be released?
