Verizon snaps up iPhone domains

Protecting its brand by buying Internet domain names that link the iPhone with Verizon

Source: iPhoneonverizon.com

Here’s more evidence — as if we needed it — that Apple (AAPL) is building an iPhone for Verizon (VZ).

PocketNow‘s Evan Blass has discovered that Verizon Trademark Services LLC, the company that owns verizon.com and verizonwireless.com, now also owns iphoneonverizon.com and iphoneforverizon.com.

In an item posted Saturday, Blass writes that the sites were once owned by Jim Benton of HolyShnikes.com, whose catch phrase — “share with someone who cares” — is deliciously ambiguous.

Using whois searches, Blass turned up similar sites — such as verizoniphone.com — that are still held by domain name squatters. They may be holding out for a better offer.

Meanwhile, HolyShnikes’ Benton still owns iphoneonsprint.com and iphoneontmobile.com, in case anyone at Sprint (S) or T-Mobile (DT) is interested.

How Google Determines Crawl Budget

It’s all about PageRank.

Google sets crawl budget based primarily on your site’s authority. That means PageRank of individual pages. Sites with a higher average PR across their pages will see a larger crawl budget; Google will crawl more URLs on these sites.

My brief synapses

The basic thing to remember is that the higher your page rank is the longer googlebot will stay in your site and crawl and index your pages.
There are a few other nice nuggets of search info in this article too.

Beastly Android will batter Apple’s iOS beauty

Open…and Shut Apple can still claim top spot in terms of US market share, according to recent data from Nielsen, but its lead is rapidly vanishing in Android’s wake.

This means that developers increasingly are going to need to choose the platform they should develop for first, and the answer seems increasingly to be Google’s open web.

FULL ARTICLE HERE

My Brief Comment:
I am happy that Android is Open Source. Apple has held the mobile phone “coolness” for too long, keeping their code locked up.
I am a Droid owner and happy to hear that Apple and it properiety ways are starting to see the bright lights coming down.

How to add A2DP support to Windows 7

Windows 7 came with no A2DP support and MS asked bluetooth hardware manufacturer to add this feature in driver upgrade. All bluetooth hardware on laptop where most of the time we need A2DP are made by Broadcomm (widcomm software), Toshiba or CSR. The last 2 manufacturer seem to have A2DP in Vista which should work in W7 but for Broadcomm nothing around.

I followed the steps and worked great for my Motorola S305 Bluetooth Stereo Headset

Another reason NOT to use Internet Explorer

MS warns over zero-day IE bug

Microsoft warned on Wednesday of a new zero-day vulnerability in Internet Explorer.

The flaw creates a means for hackers to inject malware onto vulnerable systems, providing surfers are first tricked into visiting booby-trapped websites. As such the flaw poses a severe drive-by download risk.

(drive-by online is a quick visit to any website/webpage)
