My top reason why Firefox is better than IE.

Firefox: FREE add-ons

IE: some are free, most are trials.

But hey, just go check it out! It's free to download. Addons are free, browser themes are free. Firefox, it's here to make your web life easier, faster, and safer.

MySpace IM - Now box

Well it's catching on. Not the way I had hoped, but another question is being raised about an annoying MySpace IM feature. I'm sure some other people in this great world have blogged about this, what I'm talking about is the "MySpace Now" box. I have sent MySpace a few inquiries about it receiving basic responses. A funny one that I got from the MySpace support team was one telling me that my feedback is "important" without the quotes.

Well, here I am 2 in the morning sitting here typing this blog. The question that is being raised I found were from comments on my previous MySpace blog. Yahoo, MSN, even AOL give their users the choice to display or not to display a certain window after sign-in. MySpace IM is the only "popular" messenger program known to me that fails to have this choice. Failure to include this makes some users annoyed, not naming any people, me.

I'm sure if you are reading this, you more likely are a MySpace user at least. That means that you've also got the following message from Tom, MySpace.com founder...

"Hey Everyone, MySpaceIM with Skype will be unavailable for a few hours on: Tuesday, June 24th 12am – 4am PT
Sorry you won’t be able to log into our IM network during that time, but rest assured we’ll get it back online ASAP!
Tom"

Hmm, did enough people read my last article and press MySpace about it? I'd love to think my blog is that popular. I don't think MySpace will add the choice in their messenger to remove it at user request. They need money to run the site and ads give them money. The "MySpace Now" box has a huge ad, not huge, huge, but a pretty annoying sized ad in it. Technically you can't really do anything with that box other than close it, see your display pic, look at their latest ads, or go to your profile. Pretty annoying if you ask me...

On June 24, the maintenance will begin according to your time zone. If you live in the Eastern time zone, it will begin around 3AM. In Central, 2AM. Mountain time, 1AM. And well obviously in Pacific time 12AM. It's scheduled to last about 4 hours.

We'll see "IF" they add the choice, but I don't think they like the idea of giving us the choice to have the annoying box from popping up...

Happy Father's Day!!!

Thoughts Uncensored has been off for a bit.. Not long enough to forget Father's Day though. Father's Day is a loving day to remember father's everywhere.

Like I said about Mother's Day, love your mother no matter what. Same goes for father's. Father's are the other part of your life. They are there to patch that hole mother's can't. Imagine a life without father's. Some people might know how that is, respectfully.

Those unfortunate without a father, don't be sad. If you have a father-like figure in your life, he can be your father. I have a few friends that have father like figures in their lives since their biological fathers left for reasons of their own. It's never an excuse to leave your children, no matter the case.

This blog is going out to my father and my best friend Nira.

My father has been with my mother since they got married. My dad is a very special person to me. He was always the one to show strict punishment when I did things I surely wasn't supposed to do. Honestly, he never "beat" me or "lashed" me. He just gave me an old fashion spanking on my bootious maximus. Nevertheless, he was there on my first fishing trip. He was the one to show me how to drive. He told me how to treat women. He was there when he could be. He went out of his way at night to get me drinks of water. No one would EVER replace my dad. I do, though, have to understand that even the person in my life that was my hero my entire life isn't going to stick around forever. I'll deal with it when that time comes. I love my dad for everything he's done for me and my mom. Happy Father's Day dad.

Now for a dedication to my best friend Nira. Nira's father was there for her the first few years of her life then left because him and Nira's mom had their differences. That didn't stop him from seeing her though. Tragically, he was taken from her. Years of drinking and diabetes were the reasons. The sad part is that his youngest daughter was there at the time he passed away. It had saddened me deeply to know she was there when he passed and knowing she had no more dad. I still remember, though, a few days before he was rushed to the hospital. A day that was partly cloudy and warm. He had put his hand on my shoulder and asked me to take care of his daughter. It shocked me later to know that he had passed. But he wasn't left to live only in memories. Nira's beautiful daughter has part characteristics of Nira's dad. Memories from the past live today. Happy Father's dad to her father.

Lastly, a last dedication to all those that have, do not have, or have passed fathers. Fun times and memories are what keeps us close, if not physically, emotionally and mentally. I personally have to say, never HATE your father. No matter what. Hatred to me is seeing him getting shot and you walk away. That's hate to me. Love, respect, and care for your father's. In life and in memory. Lastly, you never know what kind of a father you had, until he's lost to memories only. Happy Father's Day to every father out there.

 

Disclaimer: Father's are a touchy subject to most of us. If any offense was caused, I'm sorry.The point of this blog is to tell you happy father's day. Love and respect your fathers.

Mother's Day is here!

Our co-creator and the one part responsible for giving us life has a holiday. It's called Mother's Day. This isn't a day of sadness or dullness. It's a day to celebrate mom's everywhere. Alive or passed.

Mom's are the ones that make the world go round. Mom's are the ones that can make us laugh. Mom's are the ones that are there when needed. Give your mom something back, a hug, a kiss, a gift card. Anything!

Don't disrespect your mom, treat her like she should be treated. (Unless you are the few with unlovable moms.)

You know, everyday I see my mother aging. I see her movements are getting weaker and slower each day, each week that passes. She now tends to forget things, not bad... but she still does. I just can't help but think that... no one lives forever. Personally, when that day comes, my mom will live in my heart and memories. I love my mom for everything she's done for me. I don't think I'd be who I am on the inside if it wasn't for her. She brought me into this cruel world and she stood by my side helping me how to deal with this world.

Being raised poor and the only child, I had what every kid wanted but at the same time, didn't. I had no siblings, so there was no one to get gray hairs over. But I didn't get to have everything I wanted from being the only child, as we were poor. Good thing about it is that if there is a draft, I don't HAVE to go.

I'm just going to finish this Mother's Day blog with this... Love your mom. Don't abuse her love. Mother's come once in a life time. Don't take advantage of what you have. The last thing you need is to not talk to your mom or say "I love you" then something bad happens. Though your mom will always love you. They'll always be there, in body and spirit.

And for you people that lost a mother, smile for her. The last thing she needs is a frown on this day to celebrating her.

Yahoo users are standing against Yahoo

I've stood up against Yahoo Messenger's Sarah Bacon but as her being moderator of the Yahoo Messenger blog, she removed my posts. Eventually she blocked my email address from posting. This was when I was requesting Yahoo Messenger for Vista to be out to the public, which when they released the pre-beta they quoted "After a few persistent comments from users we finally brought you a preview version to test..."

But now, people are now standing up again against her, this time with force. Chances are that these post that have been posted, referring to Yahoo Messenger's Chat, are going to be removed. Luckily I've taken some screen shots of the rebellion.

You need to click the links below to view the conversations of the fight against Sarah Bacon.
Link 1
Link 2

Link 1 shows the 2 Yahoo users strongly urging Sarah Bacon to act on Yahoo Chat bots. One coming to my attention, about the Phone Out. That hits me hard because I pay for that service and I DO NOT want some hacker calling out using MY minutes which I've paid for.

Link 2 is just what had been posted. Emotiocons and Yahoo Messenger basic news.

If you are a Yahoo Messenger user, not the Vista version, I urge you to tell them what you think. Do it cautiously though. They tend to block email address, needed to comment.

If you need to know where the fight is going on, click here. But like I said, chances are that Sarah is going to remove them since they are "anti-Yahoo."

Even better, make your voice heard. Tell all your friends to pressure Yahoo to fix the Yahoo Chat rooms. I've asked Sarah Bacon to add Yahoo Chat back on the site, like AOL did. AOL has a Java run chat. Yes, AOL brought their online chat back up.

But first, make Yahoo FIX this problem Tell them to fix, tell them NOW, tell them what they want to hear, your feedback.

ThoughtsUncensored out. I have to work tomorrow. :(
