02 Net Neutrality : Lawsuits, Congress chatter, Corporate cry-babies, and more
You thought it was over? The debate and battle goes on -- even
though the FCC and Legislative system have spoken. But it ain't over
'til the fat lady sings . . . and she may look a lot like the courts.
Lawsuits flying, CEOs moaning, what are we going to do? Nothing
probably -- but if it's happening, the InfoManager is on it:

06 What ICANN is doing to the Internet. Don't say you weren't warned!
Isn't it interesting how everyone gets so upset over "Net Neutrality" but then not a peep about ICANN moving forward with one of the most corrupt schemes you're likely to ever find? That just doesn't make sense. Well, anyway, here are just a few of the ways things will be changing in the not-so-distant future :

* How Donuts Is Playing a Big Role in the New gTLD Era
* ICANN.sucks ? The web gets crazier and crazier
* I see you have the gTLD that goes .ping!
* . . . and more!

08 The most irritating thing about iPhones...
Patrick Smit Senior Engineer at PatMac (UK) Ltd. writes :
OK So I have an iPhone, I also use 2 macs and have an internet server with mulitiple domains running for clients. For that reason I limit the server to POP and don't use iMap (I hate iMap anyway as it confuses people) My Macbook Pro is set up to leave the mail on the server, so I can file it away once a month on my Mac Pro with 8TB of harddrive space. As I am an Apple developer, I install Beta's (Running Ios 8.3 now) which require to whipe your phone and restore it. Evreytime I wipe the phone and restore it, my whole POP mailbox comes running in, which is not a problem as such, except that you can't clean you inbox on the phone! It's so anoying!!!! Is it so difficult for apple to have a select all delete button on the inbox of an iphone!?
Your thoughts please...

09 The second most irritating thing about iPhones
What do you think Apple means when they say "block this caller" ? I get a spam call from NJ. So I block it. Next day, get a call from NJ. It's the SAME number. this has happened dozens of times with robo callers and telemarketers all over the country. I go to the number's info, scroll to the bottom, and click BLOCK THIS CALLER. Next time they call, I go there and it's the same number but says "Unblock this Caller" ... but it didn't block the call. What gives? You can check calls you're unsure of -- and report them :
* Mr. Number : http://54.200.245.127/
* Reverse Phone Lookup : http://800notes.com/
if you can get Apple's instructions to work, let us all know the secret!
