Journal Journal: LOVEFiLM Appears to Condone Affiliate Spam

Journal by NoSCO on Saturday June 06, 2009 @09:04AM

I received an email to one of my hundreds of spam-trap addresses a few days ago, promoting a free trial of the LOVEFiLM service (UK version of Netflix). Ironic, as only a few days ago I was promoting the service myself on my blog as I love it so much. "This will be easy", I thought to myself, and fired off an email to their Customer Service team with full headers and a description as to how the email had arrived.

Here in the UK there's no competition for the iPhone (not that I want one anyway) but the rates and plans are actually pretty darn good.

I'm more of a Nokia person myself, and my N95 on the 3UK network provides 1,100 minutes inclusive or 1,100 text messages or any mixture of the two providing the total of both is not more than 1,100 (extremely unlikely in my case!); A further 300 minutes for 3-to-3 calls (which is fine as all my relatives and most friends use 3); unlimited internet access (proper internet, not just WWW); 90 video minutes, they support Skype properly and all sorts of other stuff. Total outlay per month is $80 USD (converted).

People complain about ripoff Britain but some things we actually seem to get a reasonable deal on.

Data Recovered From Space Shuttle Columbia HDD 274

WmHBlair writes "Data recovered from a 400MB Seagate hard drive carried on the Space Shuttle Columbia has been used to complete a physics experiment performed on the mission in space. The Johnson Space Center sent the recovered drive to Kroll Ontrack in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Considering the shape the drive was in (see picture in the linked article), it could indeed qualify for the 'most amazing disk data recovery ever.'" Update: 05/08 12:51 GMT by T : Reader lucas123 points out a piece at Computerworld with a series of photos of the recovered drive.
