Irritating move by Yahoo -- When you type in your address bar, it goes to yahoo!

For a week, I was irritated by this! Whenever I type something in my address bar like "huntkey.ph", it automatically redirects to a Yahoo search result page rather than the website itself.

After doing a bit of research, I found out that the settings would be installed in your Mozilla browser when you install yahoo products. In their website, it says:

When you install Yahoo! Toolbar 2 for Firefox (and other Yahoo! products), the installer asks if you want to set your default search to Yahoo!. If you said yes, then any time that you type something in the address bar of your browser that is not a valid web address, Yahoo! performs a web search and displays the results.

So, this means that I installed a Yahoo product then agreed to make Yahoo my default search engine? Yes I did install Yahoo products but, No I didn't agree to it being my default search engine. I am used to use Google search. In fact, I always reject these offers from Yahoo.

It's not like I hate Yahoo or what. When you get used to something, you just stick to it to cut the time shorter on your work flow.

Anyway, I found a way on how to remove and bring back your old Mozilla running like its' old self:

1. Open your Mozilla Firefox Browser
2. Type this in your address bar (without the quote) "about:config"
3. Click the I'll be careful, I promise! button
4. Type the keyword.URL into the filter field
5. To return it to the default settings, copy paste the URL below without the quote.
"http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q="
(The URL above is the code for Google's I am feeling lucky search.)
6. Click ok

DONE! Whew! At list my old Mozilla is back again! No more irritating Yahoo search results!!!

If you want to set another default search engine and opt to not use the original one, choose using the following below:

Google’s I’m Feeling Lucky(Default Firefox address bar Search):
http://www.google.co.in/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&q=

Google Web Search:
http://www.google.co.in/search?btnG=Google+Search&q=

What the....!? foreigners banned in the Philippines?

What the .... are they thinking???? they are going to ban foreigner who join rallies!? so much for freedom of everything.

tell me, are we in a state of martial law!? i think we are...

rallies need permits, certain places not allowed, now, foreigners banned if they join!?

thats bull-!

check the article below...

Immigration Commissioner Marcelino Libanan warned foreign activists Thursday that they would be arrested and deported if they join rallies during next week’s meetings of Southeast Asian foreign ministers in Manila.

“Foreigners have no business joining rallies here as it is tantamount to interfering in our country’s domestic political activities,” he said in a statement.

Libanan said the foreigners are admitted as tourists and are not allowed to take part in political activities.

Aside from being deported, they can be banned from re-entering the Philippines, he added.

Libanan said foreigners are issued visas depending on the purpose of their visit, and that they are not given a permit to join rallies.

“So if they join rallies, that is definitely a violation of the conditions of their admission,” he said.

Immigration intelligence chief Faizal Hussin said government agents will be deployed in strategic areas across Metro Manila to monitor foreigners who take part in protests during the meetings of the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations or ASEAN starting this weekend.

“We are sending 24 immigration intelligence agents in the field,” he said.

“If they spot a foreigner marching or holding placards in the streets with local protesters, we will seek mission order from Commissioner Libanan for their immediate arrest and deportation,” he said.

Hussin said they have already started the investigation on television footage that showed at least 10 foreigners joining the anti-Arroyo demonstration.

“We were told that most of them are Belgian nationals,” he said.

“In the video, they were shouting and holding placards critical of the administration. That is simply illegal because foreigners do not have the right to stage or join rallies here.”

Hussin said they are now checking with their records and that of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport to identify the foreign protesters.

“We will invite them for questioning upon order of Commissioner Libanan. What they did was an abuse of our hospitality,” he said.

One of the foreigners caught on video joining rallies has been identified as Roeyers Koenraad, a Belgian national who entered the country last July 16 on a tourist visa, he added.

7 senators, attend their last.

It’s goodbye for seven senators who are attending their last three session days of the 13th Congress.

Franklin Drilon, Sergio Osmeña III, Ramon Magsaysay Jr. and Juan Flavier finished their two terms while Luisa Ejercito opted not to run last elections. Ralph Recto lost in his re-election bid and Alfredo Lim won as Manila mayor. Lim, for his part, said he would be back home, too, in Manila, and warned lawbreakers to "cooperate or evaporate." Lim, known as dirty Harry, will rid of Manila's dirty crooks.

They have served well and doesn't want to put more dirt in their name. being a public official like them is not easy with all the stuffs going on around and the risk of putting dirt in their names.

"The results of the elections last May 14 displayed the growing maturity and wisdom of the Filipino as a voter. Our people, well-informed and discerning, decided to send a very strong message to the administration that said, ‘we have had enough, it is time for serious reforms. We want people who can deliver’," he said in a speech.

"We must be ever more vigilant to put a stop to the systematic looting of the treasury. We cannot allow our already overburdened taxpayers to suffer due to the greed of those in power," Magsaysay said.

"They must be put under the glare of transparency and public ridicule and they must be held accountable. We cannot continue to have a government of passive and unresponsive bureaucrats," he added.
