I hate Vodafone

If anyone is thinking of getting a Vodafone UK contract THINK AGAIN. They are big bastards. Let me explain.

I’ve received my latest bill and got some ‘nice entries’. I’ve travelled abroad and, apparently, people tried to call me so I’ve answered the bloody phone and talked for 3-4 seconds. And they charged me £0.64 each time that happened.

And they talk so much shit about being customer friendly and having the best offers around. Bullshit!

Tell you what… I’m gonna end the contract and tell them a big FUCK YOU, VODAFONE!

Underscores are now word separators, proclaims Google

According to this CNET article, Google is going to treat underscores as word separators (No s**t, Einstein).

One key development that Matt shared with the audience was that underscores in URLs are now (or at least very soon to be) treated as word separators by Google. That’s great news, because it historically hasn’t been that way. Back in 2005, Matt stated that Google did not view underscores in URLs as word separators. That meant that in a URL like http://www.mysite.com/iphone_review.html Googlebot couldn’t “see” the words iphone or review. Instead it read iphone_review as one word.
