Domain Renewal -> Good Bye Yahoo.. Welcome Godaddy..
Aug 7th
It had been more than 5 years that ChotoCheeta.com was with Yahoo Domains. But since last couple of years, Yahoo started to charge USD 35 for renewal compare to any domain registrant where “.com” renewal was at USD 10 at max.
Even with such high price, ChotoCheeta.com was renewed for couple of times, but this time around I decided to move. This year, I renewed the domain with Godaddy.com
Yahoo domain panel, ease of use, design is far better than godaddy control panel, which is full of own ads to promote its own products more and more. Yahoo is even faster than Godaddy as having a more simpler layout. But being an advance user, I can afford to use Godaddy as it saves a straight USD 28 per year.

Internet is not some one’s or some countries personal property rather its a network shared by all. ICANN (formed by representatives of all countries participating in Internet) is the governing body and decision maker of Internet.
Recently in an event held at a closed high security bunker located in US, ICANN created the “Key to the Internet”. This key of internet holds the power to Shutdown or Reboot the Internet in case of emergency.
This Key was too much power for one person hence ICANN broke the Key in seven parts and then they were handed over to seven representatives from seven different continent.

WordPress planning to kill support for PHP 4 and MySQL 4
Jul 29th
Although, till date WP is one of those software which supports almost all platforms and runs with minimum of support but it seems developers of WordPress are now targeting to drop support for PHP 4 and MySQL 4. As per WP stats, only 11% of WP installations are in PHP 4 or MySQL 4 platform, where as most of those web servers are PHP5 compatible.
WordPress 3.1 which is due in late 2010 would be the last version to support the PHP 4 and MySQL 4, where as users are in PHP/MySQL 4 platform wont be able to upgrade to WordPress 3.2 (due in first half of 2011) since minimum requirement for WordPress 3.2 would be PHP 5.2 and MySQl 5.0.15.
Common users are advised not to worry, as little they know, most of them are all ready running PHP 5 platform and those who would still stay in PHP 4, the built in feature of WordPress auto updater will warn the about the issue.
Infact WordPress is providing a plug-in to help all users determine which version (PHP/MySQL) they are running on.

Orkut phishing attack – Free mobile recharge scam..
Jul 11th
It has been a common problem for orkut users to find their account getting hacked. Most of us blame Google (orkut) for the reason, thinking that they have lower level of security. However the truth is, passwords are never leaked from Google’s end, its us, the user caused actions leads to a password leakage.
One of those reasons are like falling victims of topic like this, poping up in communities.
Content of this type of topic is very clear, they lure you to visit a given URL from the same tab or browser window it self. The new URL asks you to copy paste a javaScript, which puts you back to orkut.
Problem for BING ? Google buys ITA for 700 million..
Jul 6th
Earlier this month Google bought a travel data analysis firm ITA for 700 million cash. At first glance, it may be seen as a normal business deal, how ever of a closer look, ITA powers data service for hundreds of web based air line booking service along with the decision maker Microsoft BING.
Google taking control over the source from which BING gets powered about its travel search would certainly a worrying factor for Bing officials. Bing till now having better performance, where users can enter travel quarries and Bing engine predicts the best possible deal both considering time and fare.
Google plans to use ITA data to power travel / flight search and ticket booking directly from their search engine.
