Another case of American Government thinking they are better than the rest of the world for absolutely no reason other than to promote the crappy industries that destroy our environment and make politicians rich.

I use Yahoo’s AddressGuard for every single web site/social network/beta test I sign up for, because you never know… Here are my 3 easy steps to creating one through Yahoo! (note this is a Yahoo! Mail Plus feature):
- From the Yahoo! Toolbar, I go to “Mail” –> Add Disposable Address

- Enter the name of the web site after my “basename” (see below*)

- Copy the new Disposable E-mail and paste it on the site’s signup e-mail address form

*All the disposable addresses that you create in AddressGuard use the same simple pattern: yourbasename-keyword@yahoo.com

Compared to Top 20 Temporary and Disposable Email Services, Yahoo’s Address Guard is best and allows to have it already built into your e-mail and toolbar.

My favorite feature that I use everyday is the AddressGuard / Disposable Addresses… Which I will talk about in my next post.
Senior Producer Jean-Yves Patay from game developer PAM promised that the game will have more than Wii Sports’ tennis had to offer.
“There’ll be no big heads and no players without legs,” he told CVG. Aside from that, Top Spin Tennis will also focus on the actual tennis experience than being a tech demo of the Wii’s motion sensing capabilities. Patay stressed out that they’re offering “a real tennis game.”

Ummm, This is even more confusing than building your own Wii… or perhaps the Super C 10 extra lives cheat… perhaps…

Well, as far as I can remember, aside from AOL, Yahoo! was the first web site that was “FULL” of content, utilities and options. Yahoo! basically was the only competitor to AOL in the earlier years of the web, the 14.4 kbs years, 28.8 kbs was just coming out and way to expensive.

Anyhoo, I’ve been into Yahoo! since and I have lots of good things to say and a few negatives. So, let’s Shout for Yahoo!
Oh Google…
We’re very pleased to tell you that the Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is no longer in beta as of today’s release of GWT 1.4. For Java developers who have used GWT to create high-end web applications over the last year, this may not seem all that surprising. But if you haven’t yet heard the story behind GWT, this seems like the perfect time…Download GWT 1.4
