Personal Blocklist by Google

Sometimes when you do searching on Google, the results you get are not relevant with the keyword you typed. Most of the websites are just a low-quality website and spamming the search engines.

To block the websites from re-appearing in your Google search results, you can use Google Chrome extension, Personal Blocklist. This extension will block the domain and you won’t see it again when you do the searching in Google.

However, you can always revoke a blocked site at the bottom of the search results. You can also edit the blocked websites by clicking on the extension’s icon at the top right of the Google Chrome window.

But just want to let you know, when you block a website, the URL will be sent to Google for their further analysis. With that, they can provide a better algorithm and also use it as a potential ranking signal for their search results.

Facebook Will End on 15th March 2011

Will you believe this? Facebook will be shut down on 15th March 2011?

Mark Zuckerberg said that, Facebook has gotten out of control and become too stressful to manage. Because of that, he decided to close Facebook on 15th March 2011.

“I personally don’t think it’s a big deal,” he said in a private phone interview. “And to be honest, I think it’s for the better. Without Facebook, people will have to go outside and make real friends. That’s always a good thing.”

When asked about money, Zuckerberg said “I don’t care about the money. I just want my old life back.”

I am not sure what will happen to us when Facebook is out from the Internet. What are we going to do without Facebook? There is no more status updates, give walls to our friends, and check out our family relatives new photos like we always do in the past years. Facebook has become a part of our life.

The Facebook Corporation suggests that users remove all of their personal information from the website before March 15th. After that date, all photos, notes, links, and videos will be permanently erased.

What’s your opinion on this issue? Are you agree with him to close Facebook?

PS: Some people says, it is just a hoax.

Western Digital to sell Sarawak plant to Hitachi

CypherHackz — Thu, 21 May 2009 10:54:07 +0000

Western Digital Corp. (WDC) announced that it has agreed to sell the assets of its media substrate manufacturing facility in Sarawak, Malaysia, to a subsidiary of Hitachi Global Storage Technologies, the hard drive manufacturing unit of Hitachi, Ltd.

The employees of WD at the facility will become employees of the Hitachi. The transaction is expected to close in the current quarter, subject to customary closing conditions. Terms of the transaction between both corporations were not disclosed.

WD announced in December that it was taking actions to realign its cost structure to match a softer demand environment.

The Sarawak facility, at which WD manufactured aluminum substrates for hard drive magnetic media, was acquired by WD as part of its acquisition of Komag, Inc. in September 2007.

WD is consolidating substrate operations from the Sarawak facility into its other substrate facility in Johor, Malaysia. WD will continue to manufacture the majority of its magnetic media requirements at existing facilities in Malaysia and source the balance of its media needs through its strategic external partners.

“We are very pleased that, rather than closing this plant, which was surplus to our needs, we have identified a qualified buyer who will continue to operate the facility,” said John Coyne, president and CEO of WD.

“WD worked closely with Hitachi GST, the government of Sarawak and its local agencies to create a solution that preserves operations at the Kuching location, as well as the jobs of the employees and those in supporting industries, which have a large impact on the local community,” said Coyne.
