Sad news… On March 12th 2007, Viacom (short for Video & Audio Communications) has filed a lawsuit against YouTube claiming that YouTube allowed it’s users upload and share over a 100,000 videos owned by Viacom. Viacom’s lawsuit seeks $1 BILLION in damages. The word is this whole house of cards may crash as soon as this summer and either way the lawsuit goes, YouTube will not be the same. Just like we’ve seen Napster fade away, YouTube may be facing the same fate. Sad news, YouTube has become a very important part of most people’s life. I hope Google, being the owner of YouTube can come up with something to keep YouTube unchanged but we’ll see what happens.

I finally finished reading all the stuff I had laying around like, FREE – The Future Of A Radical Price (which, I must say, every entrepreneur should read, check out my book review on it), and an issue of Web Designer and a Website Magazine.

Now that loose ends are tied I can start on this new Expanded and Updates edition of The 4-Hour Workweek. I read the first one and found it very useful, read my book review on this one too. If you haven’t read the first one, don’t bother because the second one has the same stuff in it and more, so read this one instead.

I started reading yesterday and am really enjoying it. Will tell you more about it as I read.

And yes, that is the kitchen behind me… my office is in the dining room. :)

Until next time,

Do you ever feel like big companies sometimes feel like they just don’t care? It’s probably because they really don’t.

Before I spend another couple of grand on the Adobe CS4 Master Collection, I decided to order the 30-day trial version, just to put a 30-day space between me throwing thousands of dollars around. (I’m referring to my recent iMac purchase that I wrote about in the last post in case you didn’t’ read it).

Everything is working great but one thing that I find very annoying is that Dreamweaver CS4 has a problem with copying selections of code. If you go to select a part of the code in Code view it highlights the entire code and copies it instead. Nothing I do seems to help. Some sort of glitch. I thought it was just my computer or something but after Googling it I find that a lot of people are suffering the same issues. As far as I can tell this goes back all the way to March 2009. I just wonder why Adobe has not fixed it yet.

I called Adobe but they don’t want to speak with me about it because I do not have their full version of software. They sent me to fill out a support ticket on their website but on the website they only give you certain things you can submit a support ticket on, based on their record of my purchases in my account. Since I have not purchased the real version, Dreamweaver is not one of the choices available.

Soo, I am thinking, isn’t the trial version there for you  to test the software and then purchase the real thing? So if the trial version does not work – why would someone buy the full version? As a company wouldn’t they want to take care of a potential customer that is one step away from making a purchase?

I am considering buying the CS3 version of the master collection… I know it works, I’ve been using it for a couple of years with no problems.

Man, it’s not like I’m buying a popsicle, this is a 2 thousand dollar purchase, it better work.

If anyone knows about this issue and found a fix, would you please let me know in the comments? Or if you have a similar situation, leave your experiences in the comments too.

Anyways, If you’re interested in becoming a certified specialist in Microsoft MCSE 70-290 or Cisco exam 640-802 then, I’d recommend you to go for practice exams , study guides developed by ExamsExpert.

Till next time,

Dear Readers,

I finally went out and got me my iMac on Saturday. It’s a 27-inch!

This switching over to Mac idea is so exciting to me that I even started a new blog about iMacs called iMacology.com. I posted more about my purchase there. You’ll find a lot of other iMac info there too so go check it out.
