It's a cell phone and I prolly should have asked before I bought it...but I got a damn good deal on it and couldn't resist. I thought maybe somebody around here would have one. I checked out all the specs on it and it's similar to a Razr in set up...but reading about it is different than hearing from someone that may own one.

My wife has a Razr an we're very please with it, but I wanted something different...since we've decided it was time to get me my own line and not rely on my work phone so much.

No idea Nick. I've got a (pink!) RaZR and love it.

If you google "LG CU500 G3" you'll get a hit on the Yahoo! shopping site, and there are a lot of user comments posted there.

If anybody else is interested. Make your own...Free ringtones...wallpaper and general disaray.

The only thing is...don't try to upload an entire song to turn into a ringtone. It'll be easier to cut the snippet of song you want and then turn that into a ringtone.

yeah CND it's very antiMS but I think they had to give in and make it more user friendly for those of us who stick to our guns about staying MS free :-)

I just took a real quick look (I need to run to get ready) but the red and blue banners in the backgrounds make the text really difficult to read. (Especially the red link at the top of the Indian page.)

I, personally, have a problem with starting a sentence with lower case letters. And centered text is difficult to read. It's a lot of text, too... sometimes it's easier to understand that there are separate steps or tasks if they are bulleted or number.

It's getting kinda late, so this probably isn't much help, but maybe for the future... Sorry Grace!

Thanks Costa :-) It may not be good for the class testing it out for me, but I can change it for when I turn it in - it's not due for another week :-)

hi guys,

i was wondering if any of you have heard of the site, AnonymousSpeech.com? i received an email from a person using that site late last night.

i am not sure at this point if i want to do anything about the email since it was very negative in nature. but, if i do decide to do something, i am wondering if i copy and paste just the body of the email itself into a new email and not the addresses, could this person still know that i have forwarded the email on? according to their site, not only can the person who sent the email to me know how many times i have opened and read it but also will be able to know who i have sent it to. in other words, they can track it.

does anyone know anything about this sort of thing? this is all new to me and to be honest, i did't even know something like this existed. thanks!

I believe that there are ways to include hidden links in emails that can allow the sender to see if and when their email has been viewed but there are also security measures in email programs that can prevent this.

If the security measures are in place, they have no way of knowing if you have seen it or if the person you forward it to has seen it. Obviously, they know your Internet address. They can't know the person's address that you forward it to though.

I'll be interested in hearing other people's comments on this.

Baby,

My recommendation is to file with anonymousspeech.com to stop receiving Email from them.

Stop receiving emails from AnonymousSpeech.com

You can protect your email addresses from receiving anonymous emails via AnonymousSpeech.com.

Enter your email address below and stop receiving anonymous email from our servers. This will also stop any identity theft.


http://www.anonymousspeech.com/bannedEmail.aspx

People can be ugly, unfortunately. The best thing to do is to completely ignore them - that's the best way to stop a bully.

Baby, aren't you using WebTV? If so, I'm pretty sure that you're safe from anyone being able to track you and your activities. For examples, cookies that track where you go on the 'net are stored on MSN's servers (and believe me, they are not easy to hack!).

Interestingly, that anonymous email site is located Japan. Offshore companies are exempt from US laws. (For a giggle, try reading some of their legalese on that site -- actually, most anything on that site has bad grammar!)

Finally... I poked around their site a bit and ACK! They are using an open source product from the company for whom I work!!!! They're using OpenPGP to securely encrypt email.

I don't know if I'd actually enter my email address on that site (I just don't trust offshore companies).

I think a better idea would be... if the email address comes in to you with a distinct address (something like name@anonymousspeech.com), then you can block emails sent from domain. I would do that, so you never get the emails, never know you're being harassed, and automatically ignore the person who's doing it.

costacat, does your company also supply Bigstring.com? they are one of the more recognized encrypt email sites. i know Kim Komando mentions them on her weekly radio show quite often.

I could be wrong about this, but I had understood that many versions of webtv did not allow Email blocking? That would be the much better solution, if it does.

Cnd, I have no idea. We provide open source code as well as software for both consumers and enterprises. It's possible they are using our OpenPGP product, but I couldn't find any reference to it on their site.

PGP Corporation (PGP stands for Pretty Good Privacy) and created one of the first major email encryption products. We now also provide products to encrypt your data -- from the entire drive, USB flash disks, single files and folders, and so on. (LOL... that was my 30 second elevator speech! <grin>)

thank you guys for your feedback and ideas.

since this is webtv, jimmer, not sure what kind of security measures are in place. as far as i know, i can't add any.

costa, why would webtv keep me safe from someone being able to track my email? i believe you but i'm just curious why that would be. i thought webtv was so basic and therefore, i wouldn't have much when it comes to security measures. i do have cookies that i need to delete every so often. it helps to make things run smoother and a bit faster, too.

still not sure if i should enter my email address since there are different opinions regarding that. and karuuna is right, no blocking with webtv.

not sure if i am going to do anything with the email but, i do agree with karuuna that bullies are best dealt with by ignoring them.

Baby, what version of WebTV (or is it now MSN TV?) are you using? I can do some checking and get back to you...
