OMG, come on T-Mobile
Ok, so I wanted to turn this back into a personal blog but I just can not pass up posting this. I have received an email from the same persona at T-Mobile that told me Twitter was being blocked. In her email.... well, I'll just let you read:Return-path: Envelope-to: @bibleboy.org Delivery-date: Fri, 14 Dec 2007 16:49:27 -0500 Received: from mail by mojo.iad.bobkmertz.com with spam-scanned (Exim 4.54) id 1J3IP9-00065R-1n for bob@bibleboy.org; Fri, 14 Dec 2007 16:49:27 -0500 X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.1.7 (2006-10-05) on mojo.iad.bobkmertz.com X-Spam-Level: X-Spam-Status: No, score=0.5 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_50,HTML_40_50, HTML_MESSAGE,UNPARSEABLE_RELAY autolearn=unavailable version=3.1.7 Received: from mail1.t-mobile.com ([206.29.162.142] helo=nxprdapirn02.t-mobile.com) by mojo.iad.bobkmertz.com with esmtps (TLSv1:AES256-SHA:256) (Exim 4.54) id 1J3IP8-00065O-PF for @bibleboy.org; Fri, 14 Dec 2007 16:49:11 -0500 Received: from ([10.1.1.66]) by nxprdapirn02.t-mobile.com with ESMTP id 5502347.80485432; Fri, 14 Dec 2007 13:49:07 -0800 Received: from NXPRDVSMBX02.t-mobile.com ([10.133.32.33]) by waprdmsims02.t-mobile.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(6.0.3790.1830); Fri, 14 Dec 2007 13:49:07 -0800 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft Exchange V6.5 Content-class: urn:content-classes:message MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="----_=_NextPart_001_01C83E9B.272A7312" Disposition-Notification-To: "Executive Response (ECR)" Subject: T-Mobile and Twitter Date: Fri, 14 Dec 2007 13:49:07 -0800 Message-ID: X-MS-Has-Attach: X-MS-TNEF-Correlator: Thread-Topic: T-Mobile and Twitter Thread-Index: Acg+mybHtAT+bY+0SHGZezoY/aYtBQ== From: "Executive Response (ECR)" To: <@bibleboy.org> X-OriginalArrivalTime: 14 Dec 2007 21:49:07.0741 (UTC) FILETIME=[27215CD0:01C83E9B] This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------_=_NextPart_001_01C83E9B.272A7312 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Mr. Mertz: Twitter users are welcome to stay connected through T-Mobile service. Rumors that T-Mobile blocks the service are false. T-Mobile confirmed with Twitter that there was a technical issue between the two companies’ systems that temporarily prevented some customers from utilizing the service this past weekend. That issue has since been resolved and the companies are working to prevent such incidents from re-occurring. Should you have any further questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact Customer Care at 800-937-8997. Thank you.

I just simply can not stop laughing about this.... it's gotta be one of the funniest news stories in a long time! Ben S. was the first of many folks to submit to us this incredible story of Viacom's latest ridiculous claim of copyright infringement. As you're most likely aware by this point, Viacom is in the middle of a nasty $2 billion lawsuit with Google over what it alleges are videos that infringe on Viacom's copyright appearing on YouTube. Of course, in making those claims, Viacom has been known to be a bit too aggressive in taking down videos -- including some that clearly did not violate Viacom's copyright. This latest case, however, may be the most ridiculous. VH1 is a Viacom property that has a popular TV show called "Web Junk 2.0." It basically just takes the more popular/funny/stupid clips that show up on YouTube every week and shows them on TV along with some goofy commentary from the show's host. I'd always wondered if Viacom compensated the owners of those videos -- especially given the company's position about YouTube. It turns out that neither Viacom nor VH1 compensate the video owners, or even ask their permission. It just assumes that it can use them. Most turn out to be perfectly happy (not surprisingly) to get this sort of free publicity. One guy thought it was so cool that he recorded the clip of Web Junk that featured his own video and posted that on YouTube so he could blog about it. And, in an incredibly ironic move, Viacom sent a takedown notice to YouTube forcing it offline. Just to make it clear: Viacom used this guy's work without permission and put it on TV. The guy then takes Viacom's video of his video and puts it online... and Viacom freaks out claiming copyright infringement. Effectively, Viacom is claiming that it's infringement of Viacom's copyright to display an example of Viacom infringing on copyright.

Verizon argues with fire chief that there was no fire Ok, Verizon has become very good at pulling the wool over their customers' eyes. Our bills had never been changed and there have never been unneeded fees as well as other things that just plain never happened. They get away with this a lot...... ..... but trying to cover up that there was a fire? Does anyone else think that thir ability to fool people has gone to their head?

Student Arrested for Making Videogame Map of School I guess the whole country's public school system hadn't made a bone headed move during this week so they collectively agreed that it was Texas' turn.

Early Daylight Savings Fails in Power Savings Thanks to all the hard working politicians who felt techs had nothing better to do than figure out how to tell their servers to change the time early. If anything really was saved, it was wasted in extra labor for companies who needed servers updated to realize the time change. (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |
