The rants and raves of a technogeek
Tux Violation – Calling all Tuxes
OK, saying that the Tux pengiun is cute and fuzzy, and saying that it is one of the cutest mascots in the world is one thing. But using it as the logo of a company that manufactures “Fever Pads”, now that’s something completely different.
The following image was taken using my cell phone, when I was visiting “Super Pharm”, in Eilat. For all the people not from Israel, “Super Pharm” is the Israeli equivalent to the American “Duane Reede” (NYC) or CVS (world wide) or the UK based Boots.
Linux based Fever Pads
So, what do you think, are these guys using Linux as an integrated part of their “Fever Pads”?

Can you trust your integrator with Fraud Analysis?
about 1 year ago - No comments
As some of you know, over the past 9 months, I’ve been heavily involved in the establishment of Humbug. For those who may not know, Humbug is a Call Analytics and Fraud Analysis SAAS. Now, differing from many of the current telephony SAAS projects, we are not based on Amazon EC2 or some other public cloud infrastructure, we build our own cloud environment. Why do we build our own cloud? simple, we need to keep your data secured and confidential. At Humbug, we see ourselves as a cross between Google Analytics – in our ability to analyze and handle data and Verisign – in our security and confidentiality requirements and methodologies.

Well, it’s a fact, since the year 1998, I’ve been an avid Nokia fan. I think I’ve ranged from the old Nokia 51XX, through the 6XXX up to the E61, E62 and E90 …
Open Source, Philanthropy and Asterisk
about 1 year ago - 3 comments
When I started using Open Source software, it seemed like all Open Source projects are driven by philanthropic agendas. We were all focused on “sticking it to the man” – showing all these would be software vendors that community driven projects can do just as well – if not better.
Chinese Domain Scam Alert!

Over the years I’ve seen many scams running on the net. Ranging from the ever annoying chain mails to the ever popular Nigerian Sting – Internet fraud is all around us. Lately, I’ve been hit by a new type of fraud attack, a domain registration fraud attack – mainly located in China and Hong-Kong.
Winsows? Salsa? CheckPoint watching too much Seinfeld

Recently, I had to install the CheckPoint SecureClient on my notebook, which is currently running Windows 7 (ok, a linux guys running Windows 7 is something completely different, but let’s talk about that later). In any case, I’ve gone into the CheckPoint website, looking for SecureClient, and got a really funny Seinfeld flash-back:

Open Source has bad reputation in Israel!
about 3 years ago - No comments
The Open Source movement had been in existence since the 60′s, and we can surely find its roots somewhere along the hippie culture and movement. While Free-Love had transcended to Free-Code, or to be more exact – Free-Knowledge, the question of the sources for your Open Source is still questionable. Comparing it with the Sixties,
FBI Claims Asterisk is unsafe – what a load of bull
about 3 years ago - No comments
After seeing well too many movies about the US and after visiting the US for a few times, many people tend to disrespect the FBI in the USA. While I have much respect for most law enforcement agencies, wherever these are located in the world, I must admit, that the latest warning from the FBI
Sierra AirCard 880E and Mandriva Linux
about 3 years ago - No comments
As you probably already learned from a previous post, I’ve switched to Mandriva from my previous FedoraCore distro, running on my home PC and my old ThinkPad T42 notebook. Recently, I’ve signed up with Cellcom, an Israeli cellular provider for data connection only. I’ve received a Sierra AirCard 880E, which installs easily on Windows and

Like most of the world, I’ve been following the recent market turmoil with a great burden on my shoulder. When you think about it, I’m not a stock broker, nor am I a multi-billionaire that has his funds invested in various stocks and bonds, that a single 0.1% shift in the NASDAQ translates to millions
