Bink.nu newsletter showed up in my inbox today

First time ever! Is this something new? ============================= The famous Bink.nu "expect list" is back! Just as previous years, I made a list of what releases we can expect from Microsoft. 2005 and 2006 turned out to be pretty accurate, the only things wrong weren't my mistakes...

The secret to Spam links

I received a real looking email today (nice pics, valid email addy) from TimeWarner, telling me that they were having troubles accessing my Internet account for billing purposes. Looking through the email, they even posted a valid looking link: https://www.rr.com/rdrun/update But, after a quick review...

Hotmail causes Spam

My Windows Passport (or, rather, LIVE Passport) is based on my original Hotmail address that is years old. I never use Hotmail. In fact, I had not even logged into Hotmail for 2 or 3 years. Recently (last week), I was feeling a little froggy, had a few minutes, so I logged into Hotmail to check out the...

YouMail: trying this out today

We used to use MCI as our home phone provider. Though the service wasn’t that great, they did have the feature of receiving emails when you received a new voicemail. Since then, we switched to a digital phone service, which is cool and cheap, but they don’t have the option of receiving notification...

If you have time to read email, you have time to read a book

This service is pretty cool. It’s free, but that’s not the only cool thing. You can search for books online, then “sign-up” to receive experts from your selection in email every day (or any other frequency you choose). Eventually, you’ll read the whole book. Reading a book...

Mail quota exceeded on Gmail?

Watching the myITforum.com email lists today, I noticed a failed receipt from a Gmail account. I thought Gmail allowed enough space to never run out…? Here’s the error message: This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently...

Sheesh. A sad state of Scam Spam...

I laughed a bit today when I saw this Scam Spam enter my Inbox. It’s a funny piece, but how many folks might actually consider answering something like this? Email: ==================== Hi my name is Elena! Sorry for disturbance - i was searching the web for the first time with such goal... :)...

What's wrong with this picture?

Checking my Live.com email account today, I noticed something that made me chuckle. There were 37 messages in my inbox and 7 messages in my Junk Mail folder. The funny thing is that ALL 42 messages were actually Spam. When are the free email services going to do the work to eliminate Spam? I never use...

Sending a Text message to a Verizon subscriber

If you want to send a Text message to a Verizon subscriber (just learned this today) from your computer, simply use your email client, and address a message to: XXXXXXXXXX@vtext.com …where XXXXXXXXXX is the phone number of the Verizon cellular customer.
