I wonder what do we celebrate on the new Year, we celebrate Christmas(a Christian holiday) for the birth of Jesus as he is the central figure of Christianity, we celebrate Eid Ul Bakar(a Muslim holiday) as a commemoration of Prophet Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son Ishmael for Allah also as it marks the end of the Pilgrimage or Hajj for the millions of Muslims who make the trip to Mecca each year.

We celebrate Thanksgiving to traditionally give thank to God …. we celebrate Eid Ul fitar that marks the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting and spread peace, joy and thanks Allah for his blessing in the Month of Ramadan.

But then What exactly do we celebrate on New year, what is the importance of this day, and what have been done before or on this day that we should be proud of and should recognize as a day of celebration ? Is this the only celebration that we as humans have derived our self with no significant benefit from great people of history? Or is it a day in which we consume ton’s of alcohol, get high and dance our worries and all the crab away which we have our self done in the last year? I am still confused

Happy New year !

I smell a scam, ok this is not that new but I got an e-mail from Microsoft saying that they are offering free top level domain i.e. .com if I sign up with the free Microsoft office live which will give me a .com domain / 25 e-mail address / 500MB storage / office live manager and all is free totally free. Wao impressive hmmm but ok
rule no 1 ~ everything that is free go get it but
rule no 2 ~ never trust Microsoft.

Okay so I digged a bit more and the story seems very interesting, its not that simple, it’s a marketing scam where they make money one way or another ….. here is how it works, first your register a free top level domain for your company to run business and make money and the domain becomes property of Microsoft as long as you use there Office live, if you cancel your office live subscription(free or paid) then you get to keep the domain but  you can get it back after 60 day (now in 60 days you will be out of business you domain will have no ranking and will be approximately useless  for you) so either use Microsoft or get bank corrupt ? also the story does not end here once you cancel your subscription your domain will be in the hand of Australian company www.melbourneit.com.au/ who will charge you  $35.00/per year for domain $7.50 for transfer and $155.00 redemption fee so the question is “IS MICROSOFT OFFERING FREE DOMAIN FOR HELPING YOU OUT  or THEY ARE MAKING MONEY ONE WAY OR ANOTHER

Now the other part, office live free account is technically useless, it comes with 500MB storage / 25 e-mail / allows you to make site for your self, but if you want to even use HTML for your website / advance features you pay $19 to $35 which can be increased or decreased ad per Microsoft monopoly.

Applause, lets share the love of Microsoft to the world
