Adobe is creating a “Learn Flex In A Week” series of videos.   They have completed up to day 3.     Since there are 10+ videos a day, you wouldn’t be able to crank out an entire “day” of video in your spare time at work.    

I’m certain the biggest factor that led to my choice of PHP as my primary development language is the amazing amount of documentation and easy to use support info on php.net.  This is a smart move for Adobe.    Claiming more of the developer market share will increase Adobe’s (already huge) foothold as  the source for the tools and services needed to build the web.

Is Digg.com being a suspicious website? Well I was digging some stuff at Digg.com when I got this message in Firefox:

I got back to Digg and it was alright. I got back to the site that had the content that I was digging and it was alright.

If you hit the site www.antispywaremaster.com you will see the same message.

So why it was blocked? check this out

Orkut one of the worlds biggest social networking sites can have it’s operations shut down back in Brazil. This was one of the major headlines of Brazil’s biggest newspapers and technology related blogs back in April 2008.

According to the issue was related to the number of kidnaps, sex-predators, drug dealers,  and  pedophiles. The article says that whole issue is that Orkut Management is obstructing the act of justice when it denies to give the user information to the Police. The article also says that Orkut Management will give these information if a judicial order is presented. Well this is the whole mess and it seens not be over yet.

After that  some changes have happened in Brazil with Orkut. Acording to another newspaper, Google would have moved all Orkut Management back to Brazil (August 2008) and some drug dealers that used Orkut as a business area, where arrested (Jully 2008).

Why this is so big of happening? Well Brazil holds almost 54% of Orkut users (source: Wikipedia) and almost 26% of all Orkut traffic come from Brazil. Shutting down Orkut in Brazil can mean shutting down Orkut worldwide. If I think it is going to happen? No, but there is more of this battle to came and as soon as I get an update I will post it here.

So, do you think Google will shut down Orkut operations in Brazil?
