inagurated with a line up of special guests and an enthusiastic crowd of close to100 people on the upper deck of

Wikipedia protests SOPA with blackout
 (Wednesday, January 18, 2012) Two
Internet resources that this community news service uses many times a day, are Google and Wikipedia. These resources are invaluable not only to
journalists, but to all Internet users.
On Wednesday, several big name Internet sites, lead by the giant Wikipedia. shut their services down to protest against
proposed legislation in the United States—the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the U.S. House of Representatives,
and the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA) in the U.S. Senate. View 10 awesome SOPA blackouts here.
It would appear that the maneuver had some effect because as one news service put it: "US
lawmakers appear to be abandoning their support for controversial copyright legislation after one of the biggest
online protests in history." Read more related to this story...

Update:
Phone scammers taget local PC users by telephone
 (Since we ran this story last week, the local
mainstream press have picked up the story! Follow to second page...)
(Clarence-Rockland, January 12, 2012) We have to thank our friends at Compufix (Jeff, Ray and Bobby Luttmer) for alerting us
to this information. Many people in the 613-833- and 613-446- telephone exchanges (Cumberland/Rockland) are being
called by fraudsters purporting to be a “tech support speciali st” from Microsoft. They are telling people that their computers
are coming up with error messages and may be infected with a virus. They then ask the "customer" to log
on to a website that will help them to eliminate the virus. Read more... |

Your morning smile

No tongue, please!
A city woman goes in to a country butcher shop and says to the man behind the counter:
"I'm tired of cooking the same old thing and I'm having trouble deciding what I want to cook for my husband's
supper, do you have any ideas?"
The butcher replies:
"Yes ma'am. We just brought in some lovely, fresh cow's tongue."
"Oh, my gawd, no!" squeals the woman, "I would never eat anything that came out of the mouth of
an animal."
She thinks for a moment and then she says:
"Give me a dozen eggs."
