It’s a personal post this time. A post written with a feeling of deception.
A few months ago, I created a community for students to help them share documents for the CPA exam, I’m administrating the community with a friend: Sahbi.
The community is growing in an impressive way, and I’m so proud of the 150+ members.
Within two days, Sahbi and I discovered that 3 members tried to copy the site and make community like the one I created… These followers called their websites by their names myname.ning.com, while the “original” one is “compta.ning.com”.
I know the followers “trend” is fluent in the profitable businesses but why following a “free” concept?
I’m so deceived by what they did, and of course banned them for the site to stop the copy process, God only know where they arrived.
What they did is absolutely not logical, but the worst, after I banned them, they are writing me e-mails asking me to accept them back in the community! Crazy… but true!
Visiter CPA Network
Sahbi and I are proud members of the CPA Network, it is free, and we’re just two regular members, but I just want people to understand that these kind of ideas are the fruit of passion and love for a profession.
What we are learning from what we are studying is the fact that we’ll belong to a single corporation, wondering if they do understand the meaning of that…
iCab is back, written better than ever, with multiple languages support (even Chinese is available).
This browser had his time of glory when we were running Mac OS 9.
Its specificity was its low consumption of RAM.

As a result, Apple is clearly planning a massive international roll-out of the next-generation iPhone, with key indicators suggesting the product will see introduction across all global markets this year.
Yeah, it does seems that Apple will integrate a handwriting recognition system in the iPhone!
After Microsoft pulled its offer to buy Yahoo for at least $33 a share, Yahoo’s stock has fallen this morning from Friday’s $28.67 close to around $24.50 a share. That’s a pretty steep 14% drop.
But it’s not as much some people expected. Deutsche Bank, for example, just set a target price of $17, and other analysts had expected shares to fall closer to the $19 and change where they stood just before Microsoft’s unsolicited bid.
Investors may be buoying Yahoo’s stock partly because they are looking forward to a possible search ad outsourcing deal with Google. They’re also probably figuring in a small premium on the chance that Microsoft at some point may come back with another offer.

The 5th of May is not Mexican Independence Day, but it should be! And Cinco de Mayo is not an American holiday, but it should be. Mexico declared its independence from mother Spain on midnight, the 15th of September, 1810. And it took 11 years before the first Spanish soldiers were told and forced to leave Mexico.
So, why Cinco de Mayo? And why should Americans savor this day as well? Because 4,000 Mexican soldiers smashed the French and traitor Mexican army of 8,000 at Puebla, Mexico, 100 miles east of Mexico City on the morning of May 5, 1862.
