Free iPod?

December 16, 2005 with No comments

I’m trying to get a free iPod Nano and need 5 more people to complete a free offer. I’ve completed one myself and it was completely painless. I signed up, received a letter in the mail, waited 2 weeks, then called and cancelled. No questions asked. You do need a credit card though. Wanna help me out? I’d do it for you.

The Apprentice Finale

December 16, 2005 with No comments

Last night marked the 2 hour finale of Donald Trump’s “The Apprentice“, in which Randall and Rebecca faced off against each other in their hardest task yet. Both ran into problems and managed the situation. I was split between who I wanted to win but after the tasks were complete, I was fully in Rebecca’s camp. It wasn’t a big surprise that Trump ended up picking Randall but in a year where 4 candidates were fired in one week, I didn’t think it impossible that Trump may hire them both! Especially after he praised them both during the final board room. What did surprise me, however, is that when Trump asked Randall for advice on whether he should hire Rebecca as well, Randall turned into a prick and said “No, there should only be one apprentice”. Let’s hope that Randall doesn’t last because that kind of attitude would have gotten him fired weeks ago. Trump agreed not to hire Rebecca “for now”. Hopefully he’ll change his mind.

Google Safe Browsing Extension

December 16, 2005 with No comments

This is a pretty neat little extension for Firefox 1.5. Created by Google, this extension is supposed to warn you if a website you’re visiting is phishy.

Google Safe Browsing is an extension to Firefox that alerts you if a web page that you visit appears to be asking for your personal or financial information under false pretences. This type of attack, known as phishing or spoofing, is becoming more sophisticated, widespread and dangerous. That’s why it’s important to browse safely with Google Safe Browsing. By combining advanced algorithms with reports about misleading pages from a number of sources, Safe Browsing is often able to automatically warn you when you encounter a page that’s trying to trick you into disclosing personal information.

I can’t download it from their site right now so I haven’t tested it yet, but I’ll post a comment once I have.

Update: Google’s download page is only for US users. If you’re outside the US, like myself, check out this link.
