If you know what i like slick web apps that add cool functionality to my browsing experience, and you probably know what I hate. This super useless website promotes, itself as a homepage rotating site you can insert your favorite browser pages and have it rotate threw them as you browse, complete useless if you have tabbed browsing and you can have 4 tabs open up with your favorite websites! Well I hope someone makes use of this site! You can also check out other people website just by changing the number in the address bar from what i have seen it goes up into the low 600s! Let me know how many more people signed up!

ISP Throttling Your Bittorrent Traffic

Filed under: File Sharing, P2P — kingkong @ 3:50 pm

We are alot more than just a huge monkey with a big heart. We are also TorrentFreaks! When we saw there latest post i was so happy that i couldn’t wait to call up my ISP and say hey, i now have proof you guys throttle traffic ( for those less knowledgeable monkeys throttling means that apply traffic shaping to information you send and receive through the internet, specifically to deal with bittorrent traffic) and i can finally argue or threaten to expose them hehe! The site simply is a Web application Glasnost simulates BitTorrent downloads on your computer to determine whether or not your internet service provider (ISP) is throttling your BitTorrent transfers. It also compares regular download speed which hopefully aren’t also throttled, and bittorrent downloads. Various other combinations of ports ultimately to determine what is being throttled if anything!

You can find the web app here! Leave your results in the comments below!

Windows XP Service Pack 3 on Windows Update!!

Filed under: Rants, Windows — kingkong @ 8:19 pm

Hey y’all after all the anticipation the Windows XP sp3 it has been released on windows update! There was a crazy problem with “XP update in conjunction with its Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System” which resulted in a huge loss of rapport with customer, which makes Microsoft even more incompetent in the eyes of the users and customer! Can’t they just update something without having a major flaw appear in the final steps? Anyways Microsoft as quickly coded up a filter which allows one or the other to run but not both. It doesn’t solve the core problem but it allows users to update to the latest release, while they “try” to figure out a solution. Beyond Binary says:

A week ago, Microsoft delayed the release of Windows XP Service Pack 3 because of a problem that could lead to data loss when running the XP update in conjunction with its Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System program. It also halted automatic updates to Windows Vista Service Pack 1 because of a similar issue.

The software maker on Tuesday said it is releasing XP Service Pack 3 for Web downloads, and resuming automatic updates to Vista Service Pack 1, after developing a filter that will prevent machines running Dynamics RMS from getting either update.

What does the new service pack do? Actually nothing for the average user, but it does have some security updates which come in handy, and therefore it can be a good and solid choice to update!

Who is BloggerNoob?

Filed under: Blogging, Blogroll — kingkong @ 10:45 pm

-taking a pointer from bloggernoob!

Well I have been following this amazing blogger for sometime now not only is he known for his sexy celebrity photos in blog posts but amazing commentary and tips to keep you going as a blogger! I would read his material everyday commenting here and there when i could! I recently inquired why he doesn’t show his face and back up what he is telling to his many readers! Thats for later. So being the great blog that it is. I wondered why wouldn’t he want to label the work as his, seems weird to me, is he only in it for the money? Which makes a lot of sense but none the less, anyone would take some credit, so why isn’t the noob. So I asked him why!? Here is what happened!

Right Click view image on all photos below shrunk in order to fit within boarders of my blog or check out the blog post’s comments here

The actual post where this occurred is here. check out the photos for yourself, haha so weird, at least put the blog’s logo or a smiley face! I hope you respond!

Who is BloggerNoob, unsung hero, or hidden villain or a super blogger posing as a common blogger?!
