I had seen in the past an advertisement about a website constantly appearing in all the web pages I viewed. Suddenly that advertisement disappeared and is not seen for the past one year. It is the Megaupload.com advertisement. Now there is news that the founder of that website, Mr. Kim Dotcom has started a new file-sharing website under the name, MEGA.
The Megaupload.com which was also a file-sharing website, was then closed one year back due to an online piracy case filed on it. MEGA is started after one year correct to the date of Megaupload's closure in the previous year - on 20th January 2013.
This new website is said to be legal now and for online privacy. And offering cloud storage with encryption, so that its users only can know what they are uploading.
As you might know that International Space Station is in its orbit 200 miles above the Earth with all its on board staff members; it revolves around the Earth since its inception in the year 2000. It can be viewed worldwide with our bare eyes like we see aeroplanes on the sky. But when does it passes over the sky on your place, so that you can view it? For this NASA offers the web users a website. One can register his location in this website with his e-mail address in five steps. Whenever the International Space Station (ISS) is about to cross over your sky, NASA sends alert mails to your email inbox or text messages to your mobile phone that you registered with it. The space station usually passes over from once or twice a week to once or twice a month. You are enabled thus to see the station fairly for a longer time over the clear sky, with this website's help --> Spot The Station!
Email providers differ in rendering their services. For example, with Gmail account one can send a mail content to many persons with all their mail addresses inserted in 'To' box. But with Sifymail, that is now upgraded with the same Gmail's most of apps, such sending is a limited one. Since it is a free service, it is the mail provider's choice whether to allow such sending out many mails or not. But once such sending of mails is attempted - even by mistake, the Sifymail begins not only to block next such sending but also blocks further sending of any mail from the mail account! The account holder is banned for one day; now he can receive and read mails only! Is this a sort of punishment? If it is so, instead of this, such mail providers can consider to convert their 'service' into a paid service - as email is meant for both sending and receiving only.
