Canon Canada Service Center in Calgary SUCKS

Canon Canada Service Center in Calgary SUCKS, originally uploaded by blumpy.

This is the persistent repair of one of my fan's on flickr.

I am requesting Canon Senior management to look into the quality of the service issue urgently.

Such standard of service certainly going to cost Canon more in the long run.

Tao n'est pas Tao, Tao peu commun.

TAO (LA MANIÈRE DU COEUR) peut être parlé, mais pas le Tao éternel (manière).

Nom non nommé, nom peu commun. Des noms peuvent être appelés, mais pas le nom éternel.
(vous ne pouvez pas contenir l'infini.)

Comme origine de la ciel-et-terre, elle est invisible

En tant que "mère" de toutes les choses, elle est descriptible.

Nous désirons comprendre le mystère,
particulièrement l'invisible infini.

Nous désirons comprendre les choses que
nous observons, en particulier ce qui est
qu'on peut répéter.

Ces tous les deux existent, de la même source
le Tao.

C'est mystérieux pour la même raison.

En outre la source est spirituelle et
mystérieuse.

C'est la porte à un grand nombre de mystères

(la source de commencement de l'univers
a créé les lois de l'univers.)

Tao is not Tao, unusual Tao.

TAO (THE WAY OF THE HEART) can be talked about,
but not the Eternal Tao (Way).
(“The Map is not the Territory’)

Name not name, unusual name.

Names can be named,
but not the Eternal Name.

(You cannot contain the infinite.)
[“The Model is not the Reality”]

As the origin of heaven-and-earth,

it is invisible:

As “the Mother” of all things,

it is observable.

We desire to understand the mystery, especially the infinite invisible.

We desire to understand the things we observe, especially what is repeatable.

These both exist, from the same source the Tao.

This is mysterious for the same reason.

Furthermore the source is spiritual and mysterious.

This is the gate to great numbers of mysteries

(The source of the beginning of the Universe created the laws of the Universe.)

This is the answer I given to one of my fan's regarding win of Loose!!

your work quality is not depend on flickr Explore; it is depend on you yourself set

Your own goal.

keep learning ;

keep improving;

keep refinding;

keep innovating;

Keep creating;

Keep self-motivating;

Keep-Positive Thinking..etc.

Then You truly exploring your own future & defining the New Frontier.

Explore can be a very disturbing algorithm & made one crazy & hate flickr explore Algorithm.

As Lao Zi Said:

One should not have the heart & mind on "Win or Loose" ; one should have selfless & blend with Nature.

That is Dao & Theorem (Fa) In Nature!!

Apparently, it have been found that many flickr member are affected by such activities.

there is a forum covering this topic on http://www.flickr.com/help/forum/en-us/43447/

As on now, flickr staff said they are "looking At it!!"

is these unbelievable??

Yahoo Chief, Jerry Yang should look into the issue of the Germen Censorship & those issues let these urgently.

Otherwise, More dismay result would have happen!!

Yahoo! CEO Terry Semel considers resigning??

This article I found on Yahoo! Terry Semel Consider Resigning


Well, it is expected he would be doing so under the pressure & stress from the Shareholders & the Board of director.

As in the Sun Zi Art of War.

A hero Need to know when to go forward & when to withdraw!!

Terry Semel reaching this stage is exactly what I wrote earlier in my blogs, If he don't act fast enough, it would be too late for both Yahoo! & himself.

Yahoo shareholders protest CEO's $107 million pay

I was browsing the report on flickr Censorship on Germany AgainstCensorship.....

Then I found this article.

I am appending for you all to read.

In my paper on "Creating Excellence New Philips Corporate Culture!!" I have a chapter touch on the Senior executive compensation for tech company.

Which over almost 17th years ago I made such a bold statement against the Money as a motivation terms for the Senior executives of a Corporation. Which is still valid today.

For most corporate culture adviser today they are with many years of experience in changing the corporate culture,. However, to get one that understanding about the balance of Money & the intangible mindware to be on the leadership position like late Winston Churchill & Mao ZeDong is very impossible to find today.

If the leadership on the top of the corporation is motivated by Money, then the whole corporate culture would be based on money. Then such corporation would never have soul & culture after all.

Update on Censorship Issue On flickr

Yahoo - flickr = Censorship

[I'm CEO of Zooomr]

Well it is with great disappointment that I found myself yet again a victim of censorship on Flickr. Early today while engaging in a debate about Flickr's recent censorship in Germany I had over a dozen of my comments permanently deleted out of a debate by Flickr staff.

You can see the references to my involvement in the debate here and here among other places.

It's ironic that of all places that Flickr would choose to censor me would be in a thread protesting their censorship. And without any warning even or explanation.

This is not the first time I've been censored by Flickr.

The points that I was making in my debate about censorship on Flickr had a lot to do with what I see as problems at Yahoo. The fact that their CEO is the highest paid CEO in the United States, the fact that Yahoo 2 days ago rejected an important shareholder proposal denouncing censorship. And yes this most recent issue of censorship where people in Germany can only access Flickr in "safe mode."

Now some might say that it's not right for me as a competitor to Yahoo to be critical of their practices. But let me point you to the screen shot above. It comes from Flickr employee Dunstan Orchard's public zipline on Zooomr. Dunstan and other Flickr employees have been on Zooomr disparaging our site for the past week. So to me it seems a tad hypocritical that when I legitimately object to censorship on Flickr that I would have my words censored, while Flickr staff seems to feel that it's perfectly appropriate to disparage Zooomr over at Zooomr.

It's not right. And what Flickr doesn't understand is that by censoring your critic you only make him stronger. I'm sure it's probably only a matter of time before I get kicked off of Flickr entirely. All my photographs destroyed and deleted as well. Over 40,000 comments from many good friends.

This is the difference though between me and flickr. When Dunstan and other Flickr employees disparaged Zooomr I let their words stand. Rather than censor them, I took the high road and did not. Meanwhile flickr continues to build a name for itself: Flickr = censorship. Silencing me will not change this and it's a sad state of affairs to see happen to the flickr that I once loved so much and that even now professes to "love me" on the little icon above my page.

Censorship is borne out of fear and weakness. This is something always to remember.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

My Comments is as follow:

I have been a supporter of flickr like TH all along. Although I have a Zooomr account, but I am not too active.

To me, These events are a history repeated by itself of flickr-Yahoo.

Yahoo - flickr = Yahoo!

TH is a user of flickr. However, flickr have the Supreme God & goddess. Whom decide who should be censored; block or deleted...etc.

I have experience that since Sept 29, 2005 till today.

To me flickr is a great photo management community, but over time the Power - politics seem to be happening in both internal & external which are the "customers".

If the management on the top is assuming the imperialism management or authoritarian style then e-gangsterism or e-hooliganism would born naturally.

TH is good heart by sounding out for flickr to improve. It means well & good. However, that is not really appreciated as my earlier experiences.

Perhaps it is the same as what I have been served & f-team God think that it is a threat to their existence.

Especially, TH have commented at his own flickr. Which they have the power to do what they want. Anytime a violating the TOS can just created. & then they can exercise their power.

flickr junior staffs messing at Zooomr site are totally un-professional in the web2.0 era.

In my opinion, Yahoo CEO Terry Semel should need to come forward to the front to assume the leadership to iron out those censorship issue including Germany, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea & also those blockage, suspensions, deletions, harassments; oppressions; bully to the Yahoo customers..etc. before it is too late.

Yahoo - flickr Censorship & leadsership

The recent events on Censorship, That to me is not new.


Sept 29, 2005 I was suspended by flickr .

Read
www.flickr.com/people/charliebrown8989 for the details of my encounter.


Now off late with the censorship on China, now Germany :

Read:

http://ebusiness-ecommerce.blogspot.com/

http://power-politics.blogspot.com/ it is a lesson for major search engines & the community to learn.


Yahoo Stake holders & senior management really have to review the management & leadership issues within 1st.

In my paper to Philips on Creating Excellence New Philips Corporate Culture. I have highlighted the important of the "Put Customers' 1st" at the outset.


For the internal issue the No 1 need is to re-examine the management & leadership; Act & change Timely!!

Terry Semel really have to take these initiatives before it is too late for himself!!

Yahoo Chief Terry Semel : Please Read: Flickr's new censorship system

The following is my comments With regards to

Flickr's new censorship system

Malingerlin

It is great of you to stand up for your rights!! & get the deserved response.

My Experience on flickr is right from the beginning in May 2005. My pro account was suspended because I have too many contacts.

I was accued for using scripts to make flickr members to knee down & become my contacts!!

The management team & the egangsters in the forum have using abusive XXXX language on the flickr Central forum & my sites to harrass, bully, oppressive....etc to both me & my daughter.


There is one quote, we voted you out you XXXX off, there is no human right for you here!!

I do notice that with the messengers & emails, all ganged up to against me & my daughter. Subsequently, those abusive & racist & ...were deleted by the team.

I have wrote to Terry Semel sent by Fedex, & called his office but no answer.

I am not even know what is NIPSA till later this year. But I do get feed back from contacts that my contacts are not able to views mysite or people search for "CharlieBrown8989"


Few months back, when one of my photo which is a macro shot, was deleted after nearly 250 comments, I then send a email to flickr team. the reply later they told me a unbelieable reply that, their record shown , I delete it myself.

I have never post any artsy nude till Mar 4th 2007 to conducts the flickr view rates & behaviourals Science.

Been brought up in a close society I know what is the do & don't in my mind.Especially on porn & frontal; genital parts. However, I was accued for posting frontal nudity & expose genital parts of a human body, which in the whole truth, I never be!!

Then my site is moderated & totally black out from public. After along appeal then now is OK. But the people search for "CharlieBrown8989" on flickr remains un founded.

On the experience of Rebekka, she is very fortunate to get covered by many blogs & internet medias, the most remarkerable is she get coverage
by BBC news.

Gail Orenstein case is a classic significant on the internet history among all, her account is totally deleted with over 1 millions views & over 15X testimonials. However, her case is not covered by the major news medias.

As a person having many years of experiences with fortune 100 corporations. I have ever seen the unbelievable events like these. But I did predicted that the internet would be experiencing the same as the happening in real life back in the early 90's.

Yahoo bought over flickr, infact there is no change on flickr management, as we all love flickr & the community that is why we are here, by voicing out is with the hope of the management should think possitively to improve rather then the negative feeling & thus the follow-up detrimental actions.

It is not only Yahoo senior management should reviews those happening, it is major search engines like MSN, Google & Alta-Vista alike to learn from the community as the masses are with the ecommunity.

It is the people who make an intiatives or business successful. Not the other way!!

Yahoo!/Microsoft! merger! talks! fail! (and game over)

This is a interesting article!!

Below is my comments:

In my opinion.

It is unlikely that Micorsoft would merge with Yahoo @ the present health of Yahoo.

Microsoft have the financial power & talents to re-luanch their online business encompassing the business like Google attempted to build.

When Bill Gates said internet is a joke in the early 90's, then later he is quick to realise that statement is in-correct & Microsoft quickly move in the the Browser the Internet business is the sure prove of what Microsoft capable to do!!

Google is attempting to model itself to be an network computing company. As it's CEO said Computers Is the Network.

This is the Era of Computers; Communications ( which includes the Sight - Images, Sound which are commonly know as Multi-Medias) converge!!

The market size would be of the 3 Kingdoms of the Chinese Legend.

If the market is going to be shared by 2 giants, then it would not be good for the netcitizens.

Yahoo Need To Change!!

Looking at this article , I can recalled that I did blog onthe subject Yahoo need to look at the conflicting & competing Business units, complete their process of merger & acquisitions.

What Brad see is my history revisited in 1989 about the state of afair of Philips.

The key issue is not only on the integrations of the buy in's, it is far more a melting & producing one corporation with a highly distributed & yet cohesive organization.

Well even before Mar 4th, 2007 I start to post Artsy nudes to conduct study & research about view rates.

But I was suspended & NIPSA.

So there is not much difference rights??

You need to be in the book of The flickr god & evils, then you would be OK!!

That means that in the good book.

I did the research, all major search engines their revenue are from Porn & Sex sites.

So that is the truth of the whole truth that only the emperor & king is in control.!!

I s lots of hard works.

Our resources, our times, energy.... is lots of monetary terms involved while helpping Yahoo-flickr to have contents for their members!!

We are not getting our ROI.

Just attended the Search engine university on ROI of cost per click.

Some of the cost per click are over $127 you see that.

Even for me to click on the member's here, there is the cost on each & it is on us, they become rich!!

So porn site paid as high as $30.00 per click to the search engine.

Now you see that our work are invalueable & we give it for free. They make their money, we get stab & kill.

This is the world of Digital Divided, Have & Have Not!!

Internet world is control by medias.

Medias Giants would make love & we suffer!!

Medias Giants at War we suffer too!!

But as the creator's of contents it cannot be always living in poverty.

That is the reason I said:

Change is A constant!!

All would return to emptiness!!

Einstein suffered from dyslexia! Teachers thought he was borderline

Einstein suffered from dyslexia! Teachers thought he was borderline retarded. Albert did not listen to them. He moved to a different type of school. This school de-emphasized rote memorization. Unlike his old school, they stressed creative thinking, originally uploaded by gailorenstein.

Einstein suffered from dyslexia! Teachers thought he was borderline retarded. Albert did not listen to them. He moved to a different type of school. This school de-emphasized rote memorization. Unlike his old school, they stressed creative thinking

Einstein suffered from dyslexia. He is a clear example of a person who would be labeled as learning disabled in today's educational system. With the right approach to education, these labels cannot prevent great accomplishments, as proven by Einstein and others.

Children with learning disabilities have one or more processing or learning weaknesses. At Einstein Montessori School, we would rather not use the term "learning disabled," because many of our great thinkers had dyslexia--geniuses and statesman like Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison, Leonardo de Vinci, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Winston Churchill, Walt Disney and so many others. Most of us do not think of these men as having been "disabled."

In fact, Time Magazine named Einstein as the most important person in the twentith century.

Imagine Einstein attending a typical Florida Public School. Most of these schools have adopted a varying exceptionalities or VE classroom model, where one teacher teaches several subjects. This Exceptional Student Education or ESE teacher is certified to teach every subject in Kindergarten through 12th grade.

However, an ESE teacher's training in mathematics may end with algebra, and science and social studies training may be basic. How would someone like Einstein possibly benefit from learning math from such a teacher?

Also, many VE classrooms put dyslexic children in with children who have emotional or behavioral problems. What happens to a child who is faced with a teacher who does not have adequate training? How easy is it for these children to concentrate and learn among peers who have significant emotional or behavioral problems? Bright children with dyslexia often emerge from these traditional placements with low self-esteem, minimal improvements in reading skills, and a woefully inadequate education. Alternatives do exist, like the school that Albert Einstein's parents found. This school had the most effective educational system of any school that Albert Einstein ever attended. In this system, hands-on and creative thinking, rather than rote memorization were embraced. This school was a perfect match for Einstein's tremendous creative and reasoning abilities.

Students with dyslexia are often bullied in school and potentially face cyber bullying in Web 2.0 environments. There is real concern that people's contributions will be supressed by cyber bullies who use the condition as a means to insult and humiliate people.

It is fortunate that there are some excellent organisations working to fight the ignorance and bias that many uninformed people have towards this condition. A partial list of such organisations are:

The British Dyslexia Association
Dyslexia The Gift looks at the positive cognitive talents which lead to dyslexia

Generally I have held my own Dyslexia to myself, but seeing the extent to which people with the condition are bullied on social networks I would like to join Prince Harry and make public my condition and the pain it has caused me. To the millions of creative people out there suffering from this condition you don't have to suffer alone, and you don't have to feel bad about yourself because of a limited number of cyber-bullies.

Porn Profits: Corporate America's Dirty Secret! Companies like Time Warner and Marriott earn over 10 billion in revenue by piping adult movies into Americans' homes and hotel rooms, but you won't see anything about it in their company reports.

Photo-Gail Orenstein-Porn shop-porn flicks in Hebrew outside a shop in Jaffa-Israel.

May 27, 2004 Pornography has grown into a $10 billion business — bigger than the NFL, the NBA and Major League Baseball combined — and some of the nation's best-known corporations are quietly sharing the profits.

Companies like Time Warner and Marriott earn revenue by piping adult movies into Americans' homes and hotel rooms, but you won't see anything about it in their company reports.

And you won't hear them talking about the production companies that actually make the films — or the performers the producers hire, men and women as young as 18, for sex that is often unprotected.

"We have an industry that is making billions of dollars a year, is spreading to cable television and to the Internet, and yet their employees are considered to be throwaway people," said former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop.

Only a handful of "high end" production companies require condoms, leaving the majority of performers vulnerable to AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. While some companies require performers to take HIV tests, there is no government regulation mandating tests across the industry.

Koop — noting that performers' sexual activity off the set, with spouses or lovers, can spread disease beyond the industry — says America's big corporations are complicit in a public health hazard: They want the profits from pornography but "they don't want to get involved."

Nor do the fans, according to Koop. "Even the people who enjoy looking at pornography really despise the people they're watching, and they have no sense of protection for them," he said.


Bringing It Into Homes and Hotels

According to Adult Video News, an estimated 11,000 hard-core porn movies are produced in the United States annually, many of them in California's San Fernando Valley, where modern porn was born.

The production companies market them over the Internet and to distributors who feed them to video stores — the industry claims that more than 30 percent of all video rentals on the East and West coasts are sex films — and to giant cable and satellite companies.

Seems a consenting adult section is needed. Some things interest me, some don't, but it should be my decision to check it out, or not. No one forced me to read your work, I did because I wanted to. I can see kids need to be weeded out....but to just flip the switch, pull the cord, kill the site for politics, or whatever reason is one sided censorship.

Now if you were writing about say, Yahoo, which owns Flickr, and there stance on censorship concerning the State censorship on the internet, as in China, and such, and their lust for the almighty yen in the Chinese market, bet you'd been shut down a lot sooner. Flicker ain't no democracy. Then...what izit????

I will miss the freedom of speech Gail, and freedom of thought, and ones indivdual aspect of beauty and interests. You put a lot of work into this Flickr thing. I need to back my shit up. Not that it tests the proprietors censorship, but where does this stop? If they don't like ya...they terminate yer account?

First of all, I do lament to loss of your site, but you have to remember that flickr is a business---a BIG BUSINESS---especially since the purchase by Yahoo. Freedom of speech is an essential element of the US culture and you can have all you want on your own site. As a part of the big business cog, Flickr will attempt to silence anyone with an opinion contrary to the business of making money. Doesn't matter if it's liberal or conservative, if it detracts from their business, they'll shut you down. And you know what? They have the right to do that.

That said, I will protest to Flickr because I enjoyed to debate on your site. It was rarely personal and always interesting. I come from a more conservative point of view, but I always enjoyed the views of others, whether I agreed with them or not. And I can't see how debates like this or even a few boobs would mean that Flickr's business would be threatened.

So more power to you, Gail. I am going ot spread the word once again!!!

Well if Flickr is going to censor everyone's discourse and art based on their profit model its probably a good idea to get that information out to the public so they can decide as to the future of Flcikr.

Also I would point out your telephone company does not delete your phone conversations now does it, and blogger is owned by Google and does not engage in this kind of behaviour.

I am outraged! I suspect it was he politics. Though our American government is also decidedly anti-tit.. Fuckr is not the only one cowering before an inflated, paranoid government.

You are not the only one being censored Gail. There is something rotten going on. For the second time in two years my Gmail password has been reset - that was today! I couldn't log on to get my email! In my case it's most probably the US government. They have investigated me before by tapping my email, changing the passcode on my phone - twice! - and Homeland Security under the guise of the FBI even investigated me once for something I had written.

We no longer live in a free society. Our rights are being eroded on a daily basis. "Free speech" has become an antiquated catch phrase. Personally, I don't mind speaking up. I wouldn't mind going to prison for it.

Flickr was once a bastion for free speech. It has since been purchased by a huge conglomerate that no longer respects anything more than its bottom line. "Don't make waves" seems to be the phrase of the day.

Disgraceful!

I don't think it was the politics at all. I'm very sure it was the breasts. Americans are, in general, terribly puritanical and repressed. Tits scare the hell out of most Americans. While we've a tendency to talk tough about terrorism, an exposed nipple sends us screaming in terror.

The fear of sexuality is even more intense when it comes to American businesses. Oh no! Somebody posted a photo that shows a bare breast on the Internet using our company's servers! Oh, goodness! What are we ever to do?

American companies are complete fucking COWARDS about sexuality. Seriously, utter pussies. They're terrified of mammary glands and natural human reproductive systems.

'Cos, you know, mammary glands are such a huge threat, right?

Flickr is dedicated to winning the War On Genitalia.

I have been enjoying your photo postings. I am sorry you were deleted, Ms. Orenstein. My understanding of the policy is that you must tag your stuff if it has content so it cannot be seen by those who have left their filters up. If you do not tag after being asked to, you are nipsa'd, which means all your work is tagged to be filtered, regardless of content. So, did you tag? If not, why weren't you just nipsa'd? This is the first I've heard of someone being deleted.

I am Sorry Gail.

These should not happen.

Perhaps again "The System Issues"!!

Look just after Sept 25, 2005 my account have been re-instated after 20 hours of suspension. Because I have too many contacts within 5 months!!

Call me a liar!! the gangsters using FXXX to me & my daughter; openly said there is no human rights for me, no freedom; no respect of individual; they vote me out!! There is not demoncracy for me......

I swallow.... Then my account continue to be NIPSA , I not even aware of such term till Mar 8, Billy told me about the term.

But I did get feedback from contacts & friends that they cannot search for me on flickr & my contacts have been deleted by the "System".

Mar 4th , 2007 is the 1st time I use Artsy Nudes & is is a sihoulette of the back of the pic, but I am served a warning email saying I post frontal Nudes & expose genital.....

I have been grown up in the Ironman hand from baby time, when I return to Asia, my artsy nudes books were confiscated at the custom,
Even I appeal to the Minister of Art & his boss - the Ironman , I still cannot get back the manuals. As the custom officers already cover their track.

Although as a American now, I am still live my the habbits & fear, also the principle of against porn & exposing genital part taking a deep roots into me. Therefore, I have not post such pics on the internet nor promoting otherwise.

So the culture & facts is clear & deep in the conscious & sub-conscious mind!!

One thing I am sure the Legend Guru Said:

If one going to find a bone in a Tofu, it can be done so!!

Another saying is:

Hatred is Created by person.

There is a Loaner & There is a Borrower.

So once you understand the wisdom then you understand that the real reason & the being behind.

In the contacts of here, we are just a sub-domain under the provider of the services.

The events happening is just a nature of Gurus' wisdom revisited in our life time.

We shall be re-examing ourself & the future like the water than the rock!!

May I qoute Lao Zi Say:

The most Peaceful & honest things is Water!!

My apologist for saying to much here & I am sorry about the situation we are in!!

Peace...Peace....Peace.....

Thanks Phil

Just to let you know. I have Mentioned the "Study & Research" into the flickr members view rates & behavioural science from Mar 08, 2007.

I have announce & written to the flickr team that I would not post the Nudes shot here & would be on www.flickr.com/photos/charliebrown9898

However, it is oneway traffic.

Even before I did my research, I already recorded the membership profiling & stalking on my account.

I have contacts from all over telling me that they are unable to search for me.

The contacts numbers appeared in fd flickr toys shown that I have over 10,XXX contacts, whereas, in flickr inspector it show 958.

I have not reciprocate any contacts sign me up unless I am going to write a testimonial for them.

I have not use flickr mail to invite anyone to joint groups.

I requested the team to delete those dead members on their database. But ......

These are the hard facts to be known.

I help members without asking for any returns.

Somehow, Imperialism still alive!!

They exist a god & goddess that decide the live of member's.

Thank you once again for your visit & encouragement!!

I have declaired & shown on my post on my research with regards to flickr.

I always say good about flickr is still the best. I never take side.

By blocking people to viewing mysite before Mar 8, 2007 (which I start to use Artsy Nudes to conduct my research.)

As a person grown up in the environments that run by the Ironman, I am certainly know what is porn what is Art!!

I don't envy people who become milions & billions in the cyber space. I alway congratulate them & wish them well.

It is unbelieveable that in the land of freedom, while doing good course in my ownway, yet I have been continue facing the various high handed treatments.

As a American, I vow to defend my rights & my Nation Constitutions.



The above is the continue oppression; profiling, suspression, harrassment... I believ that is not the corporate culture of Yahoo!!

In any corporation, if any of their Div chief attempted to work by whim, then The life of their business would be ??

It is the Board management interests & the shareholder interest to re-examine their corporate culture!!

CharlieBrown8989's Most Interesting Images for 21 Months On flickr

The following Image Explain About the View Rates"

CharlieBrown8989's Most Viewed Images for 24 Months On flickr


As I understand, China have their own filtering system on the Net. Nudes Art is not block in China. Pornographies Yes, is illegal, the offender can be sentence to death as I believe. If an US or European Union based company have been enlisted by China to work on the security & filtering system for China.

Alibaba is controling over the Yahoo China, in outside of China, it is not under the juridiction of China to Control over the Internet sensorship or news media security issue.

(China as a giant, they know that. China would never want to behave a giant bully a minor like what is happening here. It is also not their Culture & Moral value, For what I understand during my various talk at all level on Internet issue they said they have enough issues to work out then eating other people food!! or step into other foots!!)

If a foreigner or foreign company have been enlisted by China to work on the China interest,

Then that would be the interest of the US State Dept & Cocom to investigate & enforce the Nation & Home Land security of this nation.

The whole truth is on here, even you set it to Safe:off, the Systems team still can & have the authority to set in to whatever classification they like!!

I have contacts from all over including the free world that they cannot search for me on flickr search. Contatcs have written to flickr on these. But so what?? This is not new. These have been happening far before I conduct my research & study on Artsy Nudes on here say 6 weeks ago!!

The facts & truth is clear that the imperialism still rules!!

This is the comments I make with regards to Corporate Culture & Virtue on the incidents happening between Yahoo - flickr & the selected or targeted members by the "System Team":

Yahoo is a Corporation

flickr is a department or Business services unit of Yahoo.

So it is clearly shown that human elements are the key of the Rules , What T & C; Cause & Effect!!

Just as the old Chinese Provert said , when the Emperor want one to Die, One would have to Die!! Otherwise, someone would execute on behalf or in the name of the Emperor.

The incidents happening clearly exhibited the ethics & conducts of the executives of the corporation within.

I am sure this is the Senior executives & board of management need to clean up the entire corporation & the system. I start to think is that the corporate Cultre of Yahoo?? Certainly Not.

Is the people!! Is The People!!

I am certain that whatever I do I do it with Virtue!!

Talking about Virtue then please read & practise Dao De Jing:

acc6.its.brooklyn.cuny.edu/~phalsall/texts/taote-ex.html

N.B.

I have contacts telling me that they cannot even search for my photos & Now I found even , I cannot search for my own photos. I have wrote to flickr in friendly manner under oppression. I sure they are enjoying what they have imposed on me & those they hand picked to "Work-On"!!

Really we are returning to the Old days of Imperialism!!

Please visit Gail site for more comments!!
