Yeah they are definitely going about it all the wrong way. I'm terribly sorry though for any harm I've caused to HWC for making the offending post though. I don't recall there being any issues when Windows 7 went RTM...

I could understand if I was bad-mouthing it that they'd want it taken down, but simply trying to advertise for them and praise their new product seems beneficial. Clearly somebody as MS hasn't learned about social media.

To me, I'd want as many people as possible to use my product. Whether they get it legally or otherwise, it's still growing my brand and presence. I guess they realize is going to be a massive failure though with similar adoption rates to Vista, so they're trying to prevent any and all "public" comments about it.

Heh... I doubt it was anything you posted. In fact, I seem to recal posting a link to the ever popular Metro / AOL comparison image, which I'm assuming stands a good chance of being what Microsoft took offence to.

How Google’s DMCA tactic helps Bing.com, anti-piracy flaw | MyCE.com

Really? Microsoft files DCMA complaints to google to force removal of google search results, but doesn't remove those search results from bing??? Gee.... as much as I hate the idea of another big corp vrs corp lawsuit, I'd love to see Google take Microsoft to court demanding damages for anti-competetive behaviour. Hell... maybe they can convince the EU to block all use of Bing from the Eurozone..... ;)

Been over a month now, she's still on my mind every day, I wish it would stop...

That and my Puro tracking numbers aren't working still.
 
Even reading bike for sale ads pisses me off

Never ridden in the rain? Stored on carpet? Babied?

WHY THE **** DID YOU BUY THIS THING?

I'm just amazed how every bike for sale in the GVRD has never been ridden in the rain!

And have had regular oil changes every 2K with full synthetic. And have never been stunted and have only been on the highway! It's on Craigslist so it must all be true.

Well the DMCA take down noticed was due to linking to the 30 day trial version :whistle:

And yeah, I'm not really liking where Google is going with the whole DMCA and anti-piracy in general. It basically opens the floodgates for other corps to report things as being in violation and getting them removed from Google. It's basically the easiest way yet to alter your "Google Page Rank". No more SEO, just simply hire some teenager to go and report all competitor links as being in violation.

The future is looking grim to say the least.
 
Since last night, my 2 years old LCD TV screen is officially marked by a beautiful red line on the left side of the screen :(
 
That sucks, what model was it? My 4 year old LCD TV is going strong without a single *knock on wood* issue still.
 
Well if you bought it on a Visa card and its within a year after your manufacturer warranty has expired you're still covered under a Visa one. Call them up and go from there.
