A recent article on Broadband reports states that Time Warner Cable (TWC) is going to be implementing “packet shaping“. Which simply means you are punished if your a power user, so instead of upgrading the system they decide to punish you. Their argument is that “power users” hurt the rest of the network and in a way it may be true, still it doesn’t mean this is the correct action.
I am not with TWC but I know a few people that are and overall this is just the beginning.. how long until Comcast does this and you know it is going to happen.
What can the customer do? Nothing really, cancel your service (for now) or go back to non-rich web viewing. For now, just speak up and let your ISP know this isn’t going to fly.. maybe with a little luck they will smarten up…
Well it’s official this hideous thing is the worst logo ever.. and I thought the Dairy Queen logo was bad. The torch has been passed and the Olympic brand has been flushed down the toilet.
Seriously, how was this logo ever approved? Youthful, Alive.. no, more like #%@! disgusting. It needs to go back to the drawing board.. and I dont mean this logo, I mean the “creative” agency that designed it.

About 6 years ago I was surfing the net through AOL, of course I also thought frames were cool. During this time I was using the screen name “mkeefedesign” which I always knew would be the name of my design company. Well time marched on as it always does and I left AOL, of course unclear to me was the fact that when you register a screen name in AOL and not AIM it gets locked once you cancel.. not cool.
Well flash forward about 6 years (tonight to be exact) when I was registering a new name I decided to recover that awesome screen name by answering all of the “forgot my password” questions and ultimately ended up at a screen that not only let me reset the info but also re-activate it.
I am still not 100% sure how exactly it was released but I am happy as it works perfectly for my company and it was mine.. so if you have experienced the same situation.. go back and try to recover what is yours.
