sinowal.trojan Problems.

Trojan-PSW:W32/Sinowal.CP drops and loads a password stealing component on the infected system and tries to steal account information from it. It also tries to steal information that is required to access certain online banks' and online payment systems' websites.

Facebook Virus strikes again

“Look you were filmed all naked!” read the subject header on one iteration of the virus-spreading message, which is being sent automatically from infected accounts to the “friend” list for that account. Clicking the link usually takes users to a page that looks like YouTube, and a pop-up message advises the user to download a Flash plug-in. The download contains the virus, which replicates by contacting everyone on the victim’s Facebook friend list and advancing the hoax.

[Via Boston Media]

[ad#ad2-right]This is a good social engineered attack, they seem to have you download a virus into your system.  I Keep talking about how you need to be careful with emails.  I also suggest that you do a complete Virus scan if you think you've been hit with this.  There is only one way to prevent yourself from getting this little facebook virus and that is not to click it. Some other things to consider if you found out this was a virus is to contact the person who sent this to them so they to could do a virus scan on their system.

It is always going to be something to be hard, because these people are using social engineering.   It seems they are trying to prove a point, even Macintoshes can be vulneble to this attack.  If you get anything through you email from people saying they seen you naked or got pictures of your butt, I'd suggest, not clicking those links.

Adobe Lays off 600 people

Adobe might also hire new workers within Europe, he said. The cuts will be formally announced on Dec. 15 when the company releases its fourth-quarter financial report.


[via Infoworld]

[ad#ad2-right]This is another technology company to lay off people, there are some talks that it would be around 600 workers on some blogs. Others are just talking about the Management shakedown, and some workers are going to be moved around. I don't know who is going to be laid off, or if there will be a tremendous amount of people who will need to start looking for a job. I do know that Adobe is looking for ways to cut cost, and I expect they are having problems just because of the Recession.  If you want to check out other jobs that have laid people off, just click this link.



[ad#ad2-left]

Adobe also announced the implementation of a restructuring program, and has taken steps to reduce its headcount by approximately 600 full-time positions globally. The restructuring will result in anticipated pre-tax charges totaling approximately $44 million to $50 million. The Company expects approximately $28 million to $30 million of the restructuring charges to be recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008.

[Via Adobe Blog]

This the press release for Adobe and I wanted to share with you what they said. So it is confirmed they want to get rid of 600 people. Sad to hear, but that isn't the only layoffs in the industry. If I find out anything else I'll let you know!!

Stop botnets in its tracks With a Firewall!

According to PC World and I'll quote:

According to FireEye chief scientist Stuart Staniford, detection rates are so poor that, on average, only around 40 percent of security software can detect binaries during the period of greatest infectivity and danger, namely the first few days after a particular variant starts being used by botnet builders.

[via PC World]

[ad#ad2-left]Now let's talk about this, having been seeing recent surges of people getting infected.  I've come to the conclusion that companies like AVG and other Anti-Virus companies are keeping up.   Now true if all you have is an Anti-virus and nothing else that greatly increases your likely hood of getting a virus.

In a recent virus storm, We have people finding my site because of a Good Firewall.   No if he didn't have anything but Windows firewall then it would of gotten through and you would not of known about it.  So let's talk about how to prevent botnet attacks.   This is relatively easy and if you follow some common rules.   You to could be less likely to be infected.  I will say this most people don't do these common tips and they should do them.

[ad#digg-right]So what should you do to help prevent from getting a Virus or Malware.  This is really simple, you want to find an Anti-virus Software that you like, and Firewall that you like also.  You'll also want to download the tools to better help you in case you do get infected.  Some of these tools I recommend are Hijackthis, Spybot Search and Destroy, Hitman Pro, and Ad-aware 2007 Edition (FREE).  Then Go buy a Sandisk USB memory Stick and put those on there for later use!!  You will always want to keep a backup of those just in case you get infected.

[ad#ad2-right]Make sure you update Windows regularly.  Having seen this time and time again, if you don't keep windows updated then you lose the battle.  If you have a system that needs updating, I suggest downloading the Clone to Autopatcher.  This little program will download the files needed to update your system without having to be online.  Although, you can have windows update automatically every month but that might not update the recommended updates only the ones that are hot.  It doesn't matter which way you prefer to update, as long as you do to update regularly, Like every 2nd Tuesday of the Month.

One last tip you should also keep your Firewall and Anti-virus updated.  There is a little program that will do that, it's call AppSnap.  If you follow all these recommendations you will greatly reduce your chances of getting a virus on your system.

Black Friday becomes Blacker!

There aren't a lot of details yet, but news sources are saying that in Palm Desert, California, two people died after a shooting inside a Toys R Us. One story suggests that the shooting was the result of an altercation between two teenage girls. Apparently, a boy, listed as a juvenile, was responsible for the shooting and was detained.


[Via Gizmodo]

[ad#ad2-left]According to Gizmodo, two people are dead and I've looked at KMIR News 6 and There is no more information.  I do not like this years black friday it seems like Recession is hitting people harder than people thought!!  Not much else is known but this is going to be the worst Black Friday for a while.   I don't think there has been any thing like this before.

Black Friday gets way out of hand!!! (No JOKE)

OK, Black Friday has officially gotten out of hand. A 34-year-old WalMart employee was trying to hold back the crowds at a Long Island store this morning at 5am, when they took the doors off their hinges and stormed the store. The man fell down and was trampled by over 200 people as he gasped for air. It's sad and despicable, and it's equally the fault of the dehumanized shoppers and the WalMart store it happened at.
[via Gizmodo]

[ad#ad2-right]This is a sad day when people are more interested in deals then someone getting stampeded by other people.   This happened in the Long Island Wal-mart.    I much prefer CyberMonday, where you don't have to worry about someone getting killed.   I feel sorry for the people involved they now have to deal with there conscience.   I hope this teaches Wal-mart to do something different next year.  Next year they should have them enter one at a time in a line, every 2 seconds or so!!

Not so, Antivirus2008

[ad#ad2-left]On F-secure blog they talk about this rogue antispyware.

Cricket USB UM100 Broadband Wireless Modem Review.

The UM100c is No Longer Available, Please check out the Cricket [intlink id="3059" type="post"]A600 Modem Review[/intlink] Or the [intlink id="4523" type="post"]UM185 Broadband modem[/intlink]. The UM185 modem might be a replacement to the UM100.

After a full week of playing around with this USB wireless, I wanted to talk about it. So let's break it down into pieces.

1. [ad#text-broadband1]


2. Installation --  The installation of the USB was not to difficult.  I did have to do some more steps than this:  Install the Software, then hooked up the USB device to the USB port.


3. Manual Activated the Broadband --  For some reason in my area they had several people have problems with the broadband activation.  So I had to activate it manually!!

After that all went well, I was on the internet just a cruising along.  I did however wonder why I was getting such a slow response speed.  When I went traveling I thought I would share some of my local results with you to better show you my speed.  All these test were done at



Please see an updated post on how to get even more speed from the broad band modem.
This speed is not the true speed for the broad band modem.

The Percentages over the results are showing you just what my signal strength was when I was doing the test.  Two of the 4 were traveling on the highway and the other two were stationary.  I also know that my speed will vary along with signal strength, I know I have to be a mile or less from a tower to get 100%.

*Update* 12/21/08

[ad#cricket-1]In my other post I talk about why I didn't get the speed I expected, but after I did the activation I went to normal Mobile Broadband speeds.   I also now have been using the USB Modem for my main internet without any or much problems.   I know I can't play any major online games but I can at least have the internet with me were ever  I go.   As long as you stay in the coverage area, you should be in good shape.  .  Like I Said I've used it in my area for over a 1 month and with the small little problem, the speed has been really dependable and I haven't had any major issue with connectivity. I've been using this modem as my main internet and have not seen any major internet and have not seen any of the cap come my way.   I think they won't mind to much as long as you don't ABUSE the internet, for example don't use it for bittorrent downloads and you should be fine!!

Update 12/24/2008
I also did travel with my laptop to another city, and I got to say it was really good and how it did when I went from one city to another. Check out the report here.
According to some post and forum talks around the the internet they are talking about the soft cap of 5 Gigabytes but that seems to not be so important right now.   After all, they have to make money some how.   I will update as necessary when I find anything else out.

update 1/01/09

I also did a video and uploaded it to youtube using the broadband connection. I had no problem uploading this video to Youtube. I've embedded it in this web page. See it on the bottom:



I also bought the [intlink id="3059" type="post"]A600 Cricket modem[/intlink] and I absolutely love this modem because of the things you can do with it.

Microsoft kills a fake antivirus tool from 994,061 computers!

According to Arstechnica and I'll quote:

[ad#ad2-left]Win32/FakeSecSen has gone by various names, including Micro Antivirus 2009, MS Antivirus, Spyware Preventer, Vista Antivirus 2008, Advanced Antivirus, System Antivirus 2008, Ultimate Antivirus 2008, Windows Antivirus, XPert Antivirus, Power Antivirus, and Ultra Antivirus 2009. Furthermore, it is skinnable, so each of these variants has a different GUI, although the basic functionality is the same: bother users with warnings of malware until they pay up.

The Microsoft Malware Protection Center recently released some data on how the removal tool performed this month: FakeSecSen was removed from 994,061 machines. That number isn't the highest Microsoft has recorded before, and the number of removals depends on which malware Microsoft adds each month and how widespread it is.

[via Arstechnica]

This seemed to of happened this month with the usual Windows update.  If you haven't updated your system just yet you should.   This troublesome fake virus seems to have been killed  from several systems.  This could effectively make it harder for these guys who ever designed this program to make money.  I hope microsoft does even more virus removals in next month.  If you still want to try to get rid of these viruses don't forget to check out my tips on Virus removal.

Antivirus Professional 2008 uses Scare tactics

[ad#ad2-right-1]

We came across a rogue today called Antivirus Professional 2008 that uses GeoIP Lookup as part of its scare tactics. This site uses Flash and script to create the effect of an online scan, that then attempts to push an installer at the visitor. The NoScript extension for Mozilla Firefox is an excellent way to mitigate against this kind of garbage.

[Via F-secure]

It seems that there is a site out there, that seems to be trying to scare you into downloading there software. If you have any questions about this site please feel free to check out what I've found out:

[ad#ad2-right]Now as you can see this site is located in Russia, and if that's the case it is probably some virus itself to take control of your system to do what they want with it. So you best advice is if you think you have a virus then check out my recommendations these are all free to download and try. Unlike this site, they are legitimate and actually do what they promise.  If you want to email them you can but It don't think it will help.

*UPDATE on that Website*


According to F-secure that site is now Suspended.  Great job guys.  We are now fighting these people even better than I'd thought.

Rumor: GE to be the next to layoff its workers!!

GE to Layoff it workers!

According to sources of friends close to me, their seems to be a consensus that there will be a major layoff coming from GE. My source is talking about it being a lot of people will be laid off and that it will start happening in the coming weeks.

According to Yahoo Finance saying this "52 week change of GE is -50.86% from last year. "

[ad#ad2-right-1]Now last year this time there Stock Price was 38.38 a Share and now they are 18.60 a share.  They dropped -19.78 over the year.   The seemed to get close to the 38.38 a share on April 4, 2008 with making  37.56 a share.  That was there highest this year, due to the fact that people were getting there income tax refunds in the mail.    Also NYSE says they had a slight increase in July and Aug, that is due to the Stimulus package that we got in 2008.

Now I'm not a financial expert in the least.  I just see what I see with stock prices.  These could mean they are doing extremely well, or they could indicate that the company is planning on laying people off.  I'm just trying to provide a background on why they might lay people off.  We are getting to he point of becoming a Depression and no longer a Recession.  What do you think?

Fake Wordpress update 2.6.4 steals data!

[ad#ad2-left]

The hacked version of the file pluggable appears to be stealing the content of cookies on larger installations of WordPress. Sophos are now detecting this file as Troj/WPHack-A.


[Via Sopho's]

Apparently this little update is a rogue update.  According to Sopho's and Craig Murphy’s blog, it is said to steal your data and send it to another site.  This hacked version of Wordpress is coming from wordpresz.org so if you happen to stumble onto this fake update, just delete it and go on with your blogging.   Craig talked about how when he logged it this fake update popped up.  So sometimes it is safer to do some digging before you apply an update especially to your Operating system.  Thanks to Sopho's for telling people about this fake and dangerous problem.

Peek Email tops Time Gadget of the Year!

[ad#ad2-right]I've not seen this yet, I will do my research on this Peek Email Device. This is fascinating that I didn't know that there was something I've never heard of.   Anyways, I can't beleive they don't have a netbook or the new Gaming Laptop.  Please, a WII fit, Now how did they get there too?   How did The T-Mobile G1 get number 5th in the list.  I'm surprised that the GameBoy Advanced wasn't one to be on there, After all they sold so many this year.   Why not the Xbox 360?  It seems people can still vote but don't expect anything to change.

Go Vote and lets make our voice heard!!

UPS expected to layoff people also

[ad]According to New York Times:

United Parcel Service reported a 9.9 percent drop in quarterly profit on Thursday and said it expected consumers to cut back on holiday gift purchases.  The company is planning cost cuts, including layoffs, in 2009. It said it expected profit for 2008 to be toward the low end of a range it provided in July.

So that creates more of a demand on Jobs and if you want to hear some other layoffs that I've seen on the go, just search my site.   Some useful links to check out is:

• Mahalo Lay’s off around 10% of it’s workforce!!

Scam ALERT: NATIONWIDE MARKETING!!

*Update* Seems to be that they've went and changed to another name.  They are now using  Excel Marketing, and I plan on keeping people updated.   Read the comments to find out about what people have said!!!

Hi all,

[ad] Just got this nice little letter from Nationwide Marketing.  This was sent snail mail, or Postal mail.   I came home today to find I got mail from 30 Centurian Drive/Markham, ON L3R 8B9 Canada.   I opened it up and find a check from Nationwide Marketing.   it's the old routine, they want you to cash the check send them $3,500 and you keep the rest.  The fake check that I know is faked, I call the bank in question.   It says you have to do a 2 hour evaluation training and get paid training for 200$ per Hour.   The fake check was for $3,990.00 and $3,500 was supposed to be sent through a Wal-mart Money Gram.   The so called position was Customer Service Evaluator (Rep ID#: KB0C0608).     I am supposed to call 1-905-598-1519 I received this assignment to validate the enclosed payment.Thank goodness I did a little searching and found out this was a scam.

A little more information about this so called fake check is:

Nationwide Marketing

PO BOX 91

Minneapolis, MN 55440

Keybank of UTAH in Price, UT

Check Date 10/06/2008 Vendor ID 6280748  31-0300/1243

Routing number is : 124303007   Bank: KEY BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Peter Goldman Is the So called Co-ordinator.

Along with the letter and check there was a Customer Satisfaction Evaluation Tool (CSET), I'm assuming this is a way for them to get the important information of the money gram.   We are supposed to fax that after the completion of the assignment.

I did posted this to get the word about this scam.  I encourage all of you leave comments about this and warn people of all the variety of this scam.  Thank goodness I did research or I could of been a victim too, thanks Google!!!

There was another form of this starting up and I wanted to let people know:

Well, guess what . . . I just got a "Customer Service Evaluator" letter, check and survey sheet in my mail! The post mark is from Canada, and the check is from The State Bank of Faribault, Minnesota and the survey company letterhead says that they are located in New York. The phone number I am supposed to call is 1-416-831-1673 to let them know that I have gotten the check. Then I keep $100 and wire the rest back using Money Gram.

I did a google search on the name of the company, and they have a scam alert on their site telling people that the letters that they are getting in the mail are NOT from them.

http://www.surveyclub.com/e/ScamAlert.aspx
They should really check WHO they are sending these letters and checks to before they drop them in the mail!

[From Shawn Mosch]

This came from the scam victims site and wanted to inform people of this scam too!

5 ways to improve your chance of getting hired.

Having seen the economy this week, I've come to the conclusion that it is time to redo all the important essentials and get all my ducks in the order as they say.   I've been thinking of how best to be ready in case the dreaded day comes when my employer no longer needs my assistance and what could I do to be prepared.

[ad]

• Get Someone to Critique your Resume -- This is the most important step because this is the first place employers look when they want to hire someone.  So how do you get it critiqued?   Here are some good links to help you start off with:  Careerbuilder Critique, Mind of Root Peer Critique(Last until Oct 30, 2008).


• Have your Resume Ready to upload to Resume sites --  You should always register at all the important resume sites just in case.  The Sites that I recommend are : Monster, Career Builder,  Hot jobs, Dice, US jobs, Best Jobs USA, Computer Jobs, and Nation Job.


• Use your website as a place to put your Resume -- Have your resume available in case some contacts you and tells you they know someone who is looking to hire people.  Have this resume hidden and only give it out to people you know.   This is also known as networking.
  


• Network as much as possible --  There are sites out there that have made it easier to network.  Sites like linkedin.com, this site is great because of the 6 degrees of possibility as I call it.  You know someone, they know someone, and then you will both know the same one!!   This also will greatly increase your chance of an employer finding you.


• For those who want to be Self employed --  I wanted to say that most people who want to be self employed know just how hard it is to begin with.  So I've got some interesting links to help start you on your way.   First link is Technibble.com Computer Business Kit,  This has Maintenance Sales Letter, Work Order, Marketing Analysis and Payment Overdue Letter. It is also a good idea to have an MP3 Advertisement that you can give to podcast and throw them the link to it.  You will need to market yourself to the public in ways that no one has thought of.   You will on an occasion have to spend money in order to get money, it's always been that way but it seems to work.

These are some great tips that will greatly improve your chances of landing that job or becoming even more chance of you making money.   If you have any tips or want to suggest ways to improve upon these tips please email me.   If you like what you see discuss it on the blog or click on my ads to help offset the cost of this blog.

Hulu's Summer Clues Aug 11th-15th, 2008

It is another week and I wanted to say thanks to GoDaddy.com, Get your piece of the internet at G-o-D-a-d-d-y-.-c-o-m!!. Godaddy.com has been so helpful with setting up this account and giving me all this bandwidth.  I thought I would recommend them to every one who reads this.  I am a customer and will keep being a customer to them.

Back on Topic: (anagrams again)


Monday: Oh A Calm Chirp = Ralph Macchio

Tuesday: Alec Law = Wallace

Wednesday: Baby By Flo = Bobby Flay

Thursday: Rip Envy = Vern Yip

Friday: Stay Tuned

[ad]

We've had so much happen in the last few weeks, I am hoping they do something like this for the fall.  It looks like it is a possibility because of them changing around the Aug release Calendar.  I am suspecting they changed that for a reason.  If I am not mistaken they had it go all the way until the 31st.  So it makes me wonder what is going to happen!!!  Stay tuned for all the clues.  I am sure they will release them shortly!! Leave a comment if you think they are going to create a fall calendar clues.  I think that would be really nice!!

So let's get into the clues:

Monday: The Karate Kid | PIX

Tuesday: Wallace & Gromit: Cracking Contraptions | Aardman

Wednesday: Throw Down with Bobby Flay | Food Network Channel


Thursday:  Trading Spaces | TLC Deserving Design | HGTV


Friday: Eddie Murphy Raw | Paramount Pictures


I'll be looking for the rest this weekend if you know the other ones by all means comment and tell us what you think it will be!!

[ad]

If you want to leave a comment and not have to worry about waiting for it to post.  Create an account with Disqus and you won't have to wait for your comment to appear on the blog!!

*Saturday*

It seems they have started to show the hints yesterday night right after I went to bed.  So I am guessing they've got something planed really big.  Here is what I think will come this way.  If you can come up with alternatives by all means leave a comment.  I'd love to hear what others are thinking!!

*Monday*

THAT came up and bit me in the behind.  I should never assume anything now a days, teaches me a lesson!  Yes today it has been confirmed they are doing anagrams all over again!!!  I am betting they couldn't come up with anything else!!  Did they give up making clues or what? Now to figure out Tuesday's Clue, anyone want to hazard a guess.  I know I've asked for Stargate Atlantis and there was a Wallace character in Season 4.  I don't know though.  Props to all that help!! I am just guessing on the Bobby Flay clue, I figure it has to have his name in it!  It will, although, be something dealing with food!!!  They also have Karate Kid II also!!

[ad]

*Side Note*

I've received information that they have 2 possibilities for Friday that is why they haven't put in the clue yet.  On the other hand, they will be doing another promotion in a few weeks.  I'd wager in a month or less.  They will want to either doe something in Sept to get ready for Thanksgiving.  I'd also wager they might be doing a Christmas promotion also.  :)  I'm not sure which they will do but when they start.  You know where to go for the latest help on clues from Hulu.

*Tuesday*

That one also came up and bit me in the behind. I dismissed the liltinsoldier for saying it could be Wallace and Gromit because Hulu didn't have affililations with  Aardman and Dreamsworks.  Now t hey seem they do.  This is the first of probably several that will come out on Hulu.  Aardman has teamed up with Hulu to bring us some really comedic talents!  I can't wait to see what they bring up next!!  For people who want to see more of Aardman or Wallace and Gromit, I've found some stuff out!! Check out:  Aardman Animations Websites and Wallace & Gromit Short stories.

*Wednesday*

It looks like that guess that I did was right.  I figured if they had his name in it there was a reason for it.  Great job everyone!!  This is for last months clue.  They seem to have brought down the number two in Ghostbusters.  Now you can watch Ghostbusters II.

*Thursday*

It looks like they went with Deserving Design. I am never going to be right a 100% of the time!!  They also put up Myles of Style. I will update where needed.

*Side Note*

I will be doing a weekly review of a show or movie that comes out of Hulu.  If you have any suggestions email me.  My email address is on the About me page!!  I will keep everyone updated on the Hulu Promotions.

*Friday*

Well the last and final one is Eddie Murphy Raw.   Now finally we can get some good movies coming our way.  The following week, I will be talking about some of the paramount pictures movies that would probably be coming on hulu.  I know a couple right of the top of my head that would be nice!!! I am so glad Paramount has started to get in on the streaming videos!!

So here are some of the ones I think are going to come this week.  Although I am sure there are some that I didn't think about.  That is why your comments on what you think these clues are will help everyone who comes to this blog.  Leave a comment if you know a clue and we will discuss it.  If your right I'll be sure to give credit to where credit is due.  Let's get a full discussion of these clues so we can figure this out before Monday!!

*Keep coming back for updates, I will update every day if there is something to update*

*Saturday*

UPDATE: These are all Anagrams, so I changed these around to to show what they really are.  I didn't think of an anagram.  Thanks to all who left comments.  if anyone can figure out the other two let me know.  I haven't figure out two of them.  Thanks to all the people who have helped solved this puzzle!!  Great job all of you!!

*Sunday*

The Anagram "A Flake Mop Thing" is been vexing me to the fullest.  I looked in several different online solvers and still can't come up with anything that is remotely a name of a movie or show that is in the US.  If it's not going to be in the US I will have to make a robot to do all combination lookup for IMDB.  I'll do a little more searching.  If someone figures it out, leave a comment for everyone else.

*Monday*

Jim in the comments figured this title out.  I really don't know anything about this film but if you unmix the anagram that is one of them.  I think this is an independent film, so I am unsure who is distributing it here.  IMDB brings up nothing!!!

[ad]

*Tuesday*

Yep, it was my bad.  I didn't realize that the movie someone suggested didn't have no F.  If someone else figures out the movie for Friday let me know.  I'd like to know what it is before hand.  I've tried several different Anagram solvers and still nothing.

*Update #2*

So after having a rough morning this morning.  I have decided that there is two possibilities the first of course was the  original one we thought of.  The second was suggested and It might be possible.  The name of this suggestion is Taking of Pelham any other ideas as to this one?

*Wednesday*

So it was a new show for today and not the movie.  I did not know they had that out.  What do you think?

*Thursday*

It was supposed to be "Liar Liar" so now we have to wait and see.  This morning I look and it says upcoming Hulu Debut.  So I will find out like the rest of you.  I am hoping, this is a system error!! I think it was a system error it seems to be fixed!!

*Friday*

The final one was "Taking of Pelham One Two and Three".  Great Job everyone.  Now lets get the ready for the next set of clues!!!

*Saturday*
Thanks to all who suggested these on the comments.  If you have any better ones for the others please put it in the comments sections and talk about it.  I'll will be updating for those who want to watch this as it comes by  day by day!!

*Sunday*
For Tuesday: Someone suggested it might also be Shakespeare In Love, I do not know which one so I'll let you discuss this in the community!! I was told by my Wife that they had clips on Romeo and Juliet.  I figured I'd share this one with you too.  I don't think it is a comedy but wife says so.  I figured I put this up and say this is a definate possiblity since they have the clips up right now!!  What do you think?

*Monday*
It seems that suggestion from Sunday was right.  They just translated it to english.  I will update as necessary!!

[ad]

*Tuesday*

Although, I like Neil Patrick Harris acting abilitility. I don't see how this could be "A Shakespearean tragic comedy".  I was thinking the above would of been my idea.  I don't know exactly who thought of these hints but they aren't always the best.  Can someone explain how this movie is like the hint? I'm totally confused on that!!

*Wednesday*

Again the clues don't match what came out.  I put in the cast list from IMDB and as you can see there is no Doctor in there? Or anyone who is nickname is Doc?  I haven't watched the film.  Is there a Doc in there that isn't on the Cast list?

*Thursday*

Thanks to Laura for that great tip on today.  It wasn't me who figured this out it was her.  So I thought I would give her the credit that is due to her.  Great job Laura!!

*Friday*

Not sure what they are going to bring out today.  It will probably be later today after 4pm PST or so.  I guess something fell through! Just got home from work and I am guessing they had a system problem.  Now it's saying Mad Men Season 2.  I thought so!!  keep checking for new clues for the next one!!
