Verizon and Google: Bed Mates

ff83d_verizon-google.jpg

Earlier today Google and Verizon issued a joint policy statement surrounding net neutrality or what they refer to as a “Policy Proposal for an Open Internet”. I can’t even begin to lay out how wrong this is.

<rant on>

First, what the hell Google? Were you not one of the champions of an open a free internet? Did you not side with the masses in fighting for an internet that remained free from multiple tiers? What happened? Sleeping with Verizon will only lead to morning after regret.

Sure, you both state that this keeps the wired world free from your tyranny and it will only effect wireless networks. That’s like opposing fascism then coming around and saying it’s okay to be fascist in rural areas but not urban ones.

This does nothing more than open Pandora’s box, today wireless, tomorrow we will only get Google content on Verizon and Yahoo content on AT&T. WTF? Can you say AOL all over again.

I’m not sure how much money was exchanged or what drugs were smoked when you two got together but I sure do hope that the FCC and policy makers realize how detrimental this can be to the free and open internet we all enjoy.

Stickam Friend Adder

Hi, i have an auto adder and commenter for Stickam.com. I would like someone to make another one for me going off of the script i have. It must filter out guys or girls when sending. Basically, it needs to have a gender filter. Stickam uses 4, 5, 6 digit CAPTCHA when adding, so you will need to get around that. The auto adder i have right now decodes 4 digit captcha.

Due to the fact that it can only decode 4 digit CAPTCHA, the auto adder is kind of slow. The new one must be quicker in speed and decode all three digits. Two people have already tried and failed making this, so if you don’t know that you can do this 100%, then DO NOT bid.

Also, fluent English in mandatory!

The auto adder runs in perl, and the captcha decoder in java.

Interspire Shopping Cart Design Touch Up And 1 New Feature

Task 1

I need a web designer to help me integrate some design changes into interspire shopping cart + create some instruction guide images (I will show you where you need to copy the whole concept)

The previous guy doing this design, touch up half way then missing in action. Letting the whole project delay.

Anyway, now back to topic.

The interspire shopping cart css files are well defined. If you are an expert in design, this task is definitely easy for you.

If you have skills in joomla, or other shopping cart before, then it will be quite easy for you.

PM me to get full documented details.

Task 2

Backend

Edit product there, I need it to checkbox to turn it on and off, at the same time can select value from drop down.

Drop down value will be:
pair
box
pcs
bottle
can

Frontend:
purpose: to show the pair wording beside quantity box at add to cart button there, to avoid confusion. Some product when people add 1 to cart, it is referring to 1 piece, while some other item is referring to 1 pair.

My budget is around $80-100. (also due to this project is not hard)

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Mimicking Linear Tv

I have been looking at the Livestream (mogulus) video player and I like how it will broadcast a “continuous” video like the Television on my home page and when I start a LIVE show it switch to my LIVE show.

Anytime you visit the site it won’t just start from video #1 and go through your list, but, it will play continuously like watching TV.

I need a programmer who can help setup my video playlist to behave like linear TV: every viewer that tunes in will see the same content at the same time. This can be used in cases where you want to offer a shared experience. I use JWplayer Ver.5 at the moment…

example of sites using a linear TV style:

1. http://www.tvbrighton.com/

2. http://www.ghanalifetv.com//player.php?rand=834&h=a8aa681aaa4588a8dbd3b42b26d59a1a&s=746&TID=62e6e6b3054335470bad86c8dd52be1b

Report – Data Entry & Research 2

I need someone that can spend approximately
6-7 hours compiling some very specific information for me
on a Word document that I’ll provide.

I need this report done within 24 hours so only bid if you
can start work immediately.

I’ll also provide very specific instructions on where to get the information etc so no having to ‘figure something out’ on your side.

I’ll be giving you remote access to a windows server
where you’ll need to use some software I have installed
to gather and organize some of this data.

Also I can post in the PMB the set of data
I’m looking to have compiled in this outline/report.

I’ll need close communication during this project.

I’m looking for someone that doesn’t mind this type
of data entry and lookup work…

You will also be asked to look up a few things directly
on Google and screen capture some stuff and add to a
MS Word document (can use openoffice – it’s fine)…

It’s helpful if you know a bit about SEO but it’s
not 100% required. Everything is pretty much spelled
out as to what I need collected and compiled and how to
get this data.

Thanks and look forward to your
quotes.

.

PS: Will need assurance of your confidentiality with
handling and compiling this report data.
