Like many Submit Your Blog Post Style Website, I think Blogengage is slowly but surely getting his brand name around the Blogosphere. The owner, Brian seems like a great person. I see all the hard work he’s putting into his project, it’s very inspiring, many bloggers could learn from his work and thoughts.

I discovered some great Blogs because of this website, I’ll list a couple of them:
- Syed knows how the system works, he will soon be one of the Top bloggers.
- Raivyn knows what a beginner in the blog business needs to know and implement in order to succeed. Go visit her blog, it’s always interesting.
- Mert, like Raivyn will give you some good advice in this shark market. He often comes up with some new stuff that just appeared on internet, and has Johnchow link on his entrecard right now ;).
- Michael writes on many different topics, I got many tips from his posts.

I won the June monthly award @ BlogEngage for the Top Engaged link: Too Many Money Blogs. I just wanted to say Thank You to everyone voting my story.

I received many hits after writing a post on Facebook’s Spam wall issue. You know smoking bud?

This morning my brother woke up with the following message in his mailbox:

They don’t seem to realize there is a failure in their architecture. I’m sure many people will receive this warning, yet these poor users haven’t done anything to go against the rules, they followed a link sent from a friend. It’s sad they can’t make the difference between the attacker and the victim.

I don’t think it’s a spyware sitting inside the computer. The problem could be related to an application you installed, maybe if you remove the last application you added, it can solve your problem. Again they should restrict and have a tighter security in their API (application programming interface).

On June 12, 2008, the Government of Canada introduced amendments to the Copyright Act. The Conservative government has filed, amendments to the Law on copyright in order to facilitate prosecutions against those who download illegal content on the Internet

Our current situation with canadian ISPs.

• ISPs are not responsible for copyright material communicated through their networks when they have no control over the content. They may become liable if they exercise some control in the communication of copyright material.
• Currently, most ISPs participate voluntarily in a “notice and notice” system to help prevent copyright infringement over their networks. Under this system, when an ISP receives notice from a copyright holder that a subscriber might be infringing copyright, it forwards a notice to the subscriber.
• Often, the subscriber is identifiable only by an IP address. The ISP itself, through its records, can notify the subscriber without revealing anything to the copyright holder. Depending on the nature of their subscriber agreements, in the absence of a court order, ISPs do not reveal the identities of their subscribers to the copyright holder.

What the proposed ISP liability provisions would allow

• ISPs will continue to be exempt from copyright liability in relation to their activities as intermediaries (e.g., when they provide Internet access, engage in caching for network efficiency or host websites for subscribers).
• Because ISPs are often the only parties that can identify and warn subscribers when they are being accused of infringing copyright, the new provisions would compel all ISPs to participate in the “notice and notice” regime.In other words, when an ISP receives notice from a rights holder that one of its subscribers is allegedly hosting or sharing infringing material, the ISP is required to forward the notice to the subscriber and to keep a record of relevant information (e.g., the identity of the alleged infringer). ISPs that fail to retain such records or to forward notices would be liable for civil damages.

With this bill, Ottawa responded to international pressure. It blamed for Canada’s lax in the fight against illegal downloading. Will this Law pass; Let’s hope not! I think the RIAA and MPAA are accountable for this sh**.

If you could share what rules are applied in your country and how your internet experience has changed, I would be glad to know about it.

It’s been a month I first discovered ML. It was on a John Chow post, he was displaying in a video all the items they sent him.

Later on balkhis.com presented a post with pictures showing the items he had received from ML.

Yesterday John Chow launched a contest on his blog about ML. Five items to win with some rules to follow, the winners are based on the number of points they accumulate through the contest. Readers can get points by posting replies on each posts, digging their stories in social network communities, writing and talking about their contest, subscribe to their RSS, sign up with ML using them as referals. They will probably find more way for the readers to get points. The same day, balkhis.com started the same kind of context with some similar looking rules.

Today I found two more blogs engaging in the same ML contest: http://www.ianfernando.com and http://cashtactics.net.

ML is doing a great job to promote their name over the internet. I find it funny to read about the same contest on different blogs. What do you think of all this? Are you going to play and have a chance to win that Flip Camera. I haven’t heard any negtive statements on ML. They seem to treat their affiliates with great care and respect. Will this temp you in joining their ranks? Did you browse any other blogs engaging in the same competition?

Bjorn Borg won 6 titles in this great tennis tournament. Raphael Nadal just won his 4th Roland Garros Championiship with an astonishing speed rocket win over Roger Federer: 6-1|6-3|6-0.

Raphael Nadal has never lost a game in 4 years of playing this tournament and has not lost one set in this two weeks of tennis. This athlete was very impressive to follow and makes tennis look simple an easy. His intensity and precision discouraged any opponent he faced. Now let’s see if he can give more competition to Roger Federer on other surfaces, it could be a possibility since he improved his style in the back of the court, attacking the ball instead of returning it.

We can trully say he is one of the greatest champions on clay we have ever seen in action. Thanks for the show.
