Dear Producers,
No thanks to an injection of Malware into the Dvorak blog, the Google police blacklisted ALL Dvorak.org pages including the static page at dvorak.org/na causing a 30-40-percent drop indonations and contributions. Luckily, the ban was lifted on Tuesday, but it still reverberates with people still getting cached error messages.
Read a little bit about this in the Dvorak column here.
It will take months to recover from this fiasco and the entire process was time-consuming and ridiculous. The worst part was not fixing the problem, but getting Google to remove the blacklisting. It was so ridiculous that any jpeg served from dvorak.org was considered a virus or malware resulting in Curry.dot being blacklisted for a moment. This was haphazard to say the least.
Meanwhile, this Thursday's show promises you new insights into the Boston Marathon bombingas well as new curiosities appearing in the media. For example, why the sudden emergence of storylines involving both so-called “Blood diamonds” and South Africa? What about making it commonplace to have armed military surveillance drones over US metro areas? That was the storyline of a recent Castle. What was that all about?
The American people do seem to put up with more and more without complaint. It’s frightening. Instead, it seems more concerned with the "horrible atrocity" in Syria whereby the country cut off the Internet. Oh no!
And finally you'll find some serious insights in the kidnapped girls distraction of the week story.
We hope you listen to the Thursday show and know that the main donation page here is back online. We’ve also added a second emergency backup page at Donate.curry.com.
Do what you can to help us make-up for the lost revenue thanks to the Google overlords.
Yours,
John C. Dvorak & Adam Curry
