Strange SSL behaviour
by Guest deeed- 0 replies

Hi List, I am trying to deploy ssl on my apache2 web server using a godaddy signed cert. These are the steps I followed: Created a key: # openssl genrsa -out domain.key 2048 Generated a CSR: # openssl req -new -key domain.key -out domain.csr Logged into godaddy and re-keyed the existing certificate. ( I went through this procedure a few times, hence the re-keying instead of just signing) Here is my vhosts.conf entry: ================================================= SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/ssl/xxxxxxxxxx.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/ssl/domain.key SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/httpd/ssl/gd_bundle-g2-g1.crt =============================…

T-Mobile will proactively reach out to customers who were charged premium SMS fees
by Guest Andrew Martonik- 0 replies
- 406 views
Going a step further on its fight against fraudulent premium SMS charges, T-Mobile will now start proactively notifying customers of unauthorized billing of premium SMS to their account. Although customers could previously request refunds for any unknown charge on their bill, this proactive approach of identifying premium SMS scams that weren't refunded goes a step further. Mike Sievert, CMO for T-Mobile, had this to say: "If you've been charged for a third-party service you didn't sign up for, it should be easy to get a refund. If customers were charged for services they didn't want, we'll make it right. That's being the Un-carrier." From July to September, T-…

Buy a Sonos speaker from Amazon, get a $50 credit
by Guest John Callaham- 0 replies
- 322 views
It's a good time to invest in a wireless speaker from Sonos. Today, Amazon announced that it will offer its customers a $50 credit in its online store for the purchase of select Sonos products. The special promotion applies when a person buys either the $399 Sonos Play:5 speaker or the $299 Sonos Play:3 product. Sorry, the $199 Sonos Play:1 speaker is not included in this deal. The nice thing is that the Amazon buyer doesn't have to type in a special promo code or mail something in to get the $50 credit. Once the purchase is made, the amount will be automatically added to their Amazon's account seven days after the speaker ships to the customer. The credit must be…

Apple building their own 1,000-member in-house ad team
by Guest Derek Kessler- 0 replies
- 511 views
Apple has always set a high bar with their advertising, and that high bar has led to frustration with their long-time partner TBWA/MAL and the formation of an internal advertising team that Apple hopes to build to one thousand members. That's a huge team, and as previously reported, they're already producing work for Apple. The in-house team has been competing directly with TBWA/MAL to produce spots, and Apple has even pulled in other outside firms to compete, as reported by Advertising Age: [Apple is] madly building an internal agency that it's telling recruits will eventually number 1,000 -- the size of Grey Advertising. It's pitting TBWA/MAL against this intern…

I have an older (2004-ish?) HP L2000 Limited Edition Livestrong laptop that I bought as a refurb off Amazon back in 2005. I LOVE this laptop. I have a problem, though. A few years ago, my drivers all went kaput. Keyboard, touchpad, USBs, all dead. The laptop will still boot up and get to the login screen, but I can't go any further because I don't have a keyboard, touchpad or USBs. There are A LOT of files that I really want off this laptop. How can I get the files off and onto a new laptop or, better yet, get this laptop working again? Continue reading...

When will the Asus U43f get actual Windows 8.1 Support?
by Guest Casuallynoted- 0 replies
- 651 views
Hello, I am the owner of an Asus U43f laptop, which I got brand new around the time Windows 8 came out. I was promised that the laptop would have full functionality with Windows 8, and therefore purchased it over several other laptop brands. However, come to find out, for the last year or so, I have been unable to update my laptop to Windows 8.1 due to some sort of driver incompatibility, one that Asus and/or Microsoft could and should have likely fixed by now. Every time I upgrade from an older os to 8.1, it reverts, and every time I install a fresh copy, my laptop emits a screeching sound and I have to wipe the drive and reinstall Windows 7 or 8. Contacting both of…

Power Setting changes connection speed

i don't know if anyone else has noticed this but when I change my power setting from balanced to high performance on my laptop and when i start on battery and not connected to the AC adapter, i notice a far longer connection speed to my wireless router when i log into the desktop. I got curious because sometimes it wouldn't connect and come up with the star thingy and i would have to connect again but when i go into balance or start on battery, the connection speed is almost instantaneous. I have tried uninstalling my wireless driver and let the computer reinstall the driver itself and that fixed it a bit, i could connect automatically, faster but still not as fast as on …
