Some tech updates

New Broadband - VDSL2

It promises to be 10 times the speed, but unfortunately at probably 10 times the cost. Not yet implemented anywhere yet, and there is no guarentee that it will be implemted. Imagine upload and download rates at 100 Mbps. In plain english, thats super super hyper fast.


Organized crime on the Net grows

Well, it looks like the Mafia is online now. And getting more and more high tech by the minute. Its a virtual arms race out there between the hackers and the security vendors. Its going to get messy people. There are existing software that can install itself on your computer, download a trojan that disables your firewall and antivirus, and thus becomes a zombie awaiting its masters bidding. Think Bodysnatchers.


.xxx for porn sites?

Hmm, i doubt anyone would even sign up, let alone transfer their domains to the .xxx domain. It would make it easier for authoraties to monitor and block such traffic, and thus deprive them of much need horny people that fund the industry.


Amazon and Netflix most successful online retailer

Hmm. so all i gotta do is find some silly product, sell it, and also design my page well and i'll be a millionnaire. I might do that! Zindee!
