The News Zoo

Oy Veh!

Wouldn’t you know it, Apple are having MORE trouble with their latest model of iPhone, the iPhone4. Seemingly, some customers are having trouble with the antenna on the latest model.

Which could give the company trouble, but hopefully is something that can be fixed, fairly soon.

Apple, after all, do have a reputation to maintain.

Oh, there’s another piece of technical news, that’s caught my attention, as well.

Icann — the regulatory body who oversee the net — have announced that they’ll be creating and overseeing a new domain name — the .com/.net/.mac/.org/.co.uk parts of the end of a web address — called ‘.xxx’.

I can’t help but think that’s a good thing.

After all, I, like a LOT of other single guys — straight, gay, bi, and all points in-between — like looking at pictures of naked women. (Or men, in the case of my gay, bi, and whatever friends)

So it’s nice to know there’s a specific something to look for, out there.

It’ll probably also be handy for those of us with families: those of my friends that do have kids will probably appreciate being able to set up their machines to block this sort of sites, for particular account holders.

Oh, granted, there’s probably ways of getting around that, already.

That’s how’s fast these things go, after all.

But at least it’s a start!

Post a Comment

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
