Comment on Track location of a GPS enabled phone with PhoneOnMap by Rick

I don’t agree, I always use my GPS on my Nokia N82. On holidays nothing beats the walk function on Garmin XT.

We would like to reinstate this blog to the College’s white hat list.

Sadly, techiezone has been removed from our grad school preferred blog list.

I say sadly because our grad students very much enjoyed the articles you have on the blog.

Most bloggers don’t label as spam our grad student comments because they are definitely not spam.

However, unless you have specifically blocked ToysPeriod (one of our scholarship providers) as a home site, Akismet has made the decision for you and blocked non-spam items.

That is happening on all blogs with the Akismet plug in, forcing the College to ban WordPress for the purpose of grad courses, including this site.

If you would like to be included on the College’s white hat list once again, just drop me a line at avoisin@lindachristas.org, and I will once again list you as a preferred grad student destination.

If Akismet is blocking things that you haven’t designated as spam, you can contact them for remedy at Alex Shiel support@akismet.com or Matt Mullenweg at matt@mullenweb.com. Blocking spam is one thing. However, when valuable messages from people who you have worked to attract to your message are also being blocked, the potential customer, client, fan or in this case, grad student, just won’t return.

When Akismet boasts of spam exclusion, unfortunately, up to 30% of all messages blocked are not spam.

Hope to hear from you, so that we can reinstate techiezone.

Linda Christas College

Hello,

Many years ago this sort of technology was only on TV but now its in real life.

It can only make the world a safer place…. is that a bad thing?

This seems to be good for security of your mobile. Suppose if at anytime you loose your mobile then you can easily track where it is. This seems quite an advancement in technology.

What the heck is going on with the world. We had once this great idea of a mobile phone, that has turned into a mobile pc with tracking capabilities. The big brother effect!

Hm, I’m quite indecisive on this issue! Sometimes I think it’s a great thing, but when I think a little deeper, I’m not sure to understand the need for these innovation…

Needs more studies regarding biometrics. For instance if the software fails and been intruded by some hackers as what have been commented, it really is a huge problem for the company who is using this and actually you can see it in some movies. These are some things that could be done to hack biometrics.

It definitely does take a lot of effort to stick out in the blogging world. It can be done, especially if you stick to a plan such as yours for the new year, but it’s definitely a challenge. Anyhow, I wish you good luck in taking this blog to where you want it to be.

Thanks for the post, I’m in the process of changing to Windows 7 and any help I can get will be beneficial. I’ve pretty much had it with Vista, what a nightmare. I sure hope Windows 7 proves to be a great improvement.
