Since the email is coming from “noreply@google.com” it is not getting caught by the various spam filters that exist in each part of the email distribution chain. I found that someone had posted this same problem on the GMaps support forum, but the page was only up for about 11 minutes before it was “removed”??? If I click on the link now it says “Part of this page has been removed”. After more time passes the link will be completely removed from search results for sure.

Here is a screen shot of the search phrase I typed into Google.

I have been trying to find the right place to alert Google that they have this problem out in the wild, but the only “spam reporting” you can do is related to someone spamming your business name in local-search results on Google maps. If you have had this same issue it would be interesting to see how prevalent the problem is and what people are trying to do about it.

GFinance cost $5.99 and I wasn’t that impressed with the user feedback it received.

Mootwin Financials was FREE, but it needed my google account login info to sync with the portfolios that I create at http://www.google.com/finance.

Being cautious (or paranoid) I created a new gmail account just for the purposes of using it with this app. When you first open the app it prompts you that you will be redirected to the google.com website. It opens up a Safari window and you enter in your credentials on google.com .



I only added the “C” stock symbol to my portfolio on the Google Finance website, so that is all that syncs up.



This is the screen after you have clicked on a symbol from the above picture.


I was the first to post any feedback on the application in the app store, so it’s pretty new. It does exactly what I wanted it to do, but there is NO WAY I would enter in my main Google Account login info.

WP Super Cache is an amazing Wordpress plugin for webmasters with large sites or with sites that use a ton of SQL queries to generate the content. When I first installed, everything appeared to be working fine. When I tested the site in Internet Explorer 7 I received the dreaded “Explorer cannot display the webpage” error. There where a couple of things that I needed to change in order to make it work. The first thing was that I had to modify the “/wp-content/cache/.htaccess” file.

Add the following code at the beginning of the htaccess file directly below the “# BEGIN WPSuperCache”

<IfModule mod_mime.c>
AddEncoding gzip .gz
AddType text/html .gz
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.gz$ no-gzip
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
Header set Cache-Control 'max-age=300, must-revalidate'
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
ExpiresActive On
ExpiresByType text/html A300
</IfModule>

This seemed to fix some bugs I was having with IE6, but IE7 still wouldn’t display the page. I then realized that earlier I had started using PHP gZip compression. So at the top of the header.php file for my theme I had the following line.

ob_start("ob_gzhandler");

Once I removed this then IE7 displayed the page right away.

1. Make sure “Active Sync” is running on your Exchange server.
   We use a “managed Exchange” solution which means that we are renting the server from a third party. I had to log into the control panel for the service and “check box” active sync.
2. The iPhone might still display “Account Verification Failed”. You will then need to disable SSL for the mailbox connection in the iPhone before it will sync properly.
3. The only problem is that the SSL “on/off” slider doesn’t appear when you first set up the account.
4. Enter in the Username and Password (Domain I left blank) and wait for it to fail. Then a new ‘Server’ option will appear.
   The server is the address where the phone should access your Exchange Server. For some people it is simply “mail.example.com”. Others use “owa.example.com”. Our 3rd party Exchange rental company used a long complicated domain name, something like this: EXVB0104-exch02.example.com. You can find this information in the MS Outlook running on a computer already using Exchange.
5. After entering in the Server info hit “Next” again and wait for it fail. Hit next ONE MORE TIME and it will give you a warning “Are you sure? You will not be able to send or receive email.” I clicked yes. After you do this the “Use SSL” option will appear. Click on it to turn it off. Afterward I was a syncing in style.
