GrooveShark - Profitable Piracy

Submitted by Dave Won. on Sun, 09/09/2012

How does a profitable company distribute illegal copies of music? Well one company call GroveShark has managed to provide illegal downloads and streaming for nearly five years.

I know most people don’t really care too much for the major record labels that are being ripped off directly by GroveShark, but at the end of the line this hurts artists too.

Political ads on Wontek.com and the Internet

Submitted by Dave Won. on Wed, 09/05/2012

We’ve had few emails from different users of the site in disgust that we have had ads for Mitt Romney on the site and on our YouTube channel, and one complaint about ads on the site for Barack Obama.
Firstly, the ads that come up have no association with Wontek they are random, OK guys we don’t care about Mitt or Barack seriously.

What is happening is these politicians have HUGE budgets and are putting ads on every site they can on the net, and personally I'm sick of them too. They are all a bunch of clowns and I can’t wait until the election is over.

iPhone 5 Hype.. who cares.

Submitted by Dave Won. on Wed, 08/22/2012

According to nearly every tabloid news source you read, there is a constant reference to the iPhone 5 hype. In fact, the media itself are creating this frenzy because there is nothing else worth reporting. You will notice that they constantly will refer to the iPhone 5 hype being at an all-time high. Never before has something that hasn’t even come out yet been so popular. People are speculating what features it might have themselves into a zombie state of excitement. Seriously, if the iPhone 5 is all, you have to look forward to in life… this is pretty sad.

Ebay doesn’t protect sellers

Submitted by Dave Won. on Thu, 08/16/2012

If you’re a buyer on the popular auction site Ebay, then you will no doubt know that pretty much anything you buy will almost always turn up on time and without fault these days, and if you do have issues with the product you have purchased you will quickly get a refund for the product, sometimes even keeping the product with a full refund.

As a buyer you also have the luxury of leaving negative feedback regardless of how your buying experience really was.

Digg.com Buried for Good

Submitted by Dave Won on Wed, 08/01/2012

Failed website Digg.com that recently sold for a measly $500K, has had an awful redesigned. This could be forgiven but it gets worse, they also disabled logging into the site via your Digg account. Instead now to use digg.com you HAVE to use a facebook login.

Why is this huge mistake? Well the majority of people that used digg.com, never used facebook because they were smart enough to have nothing to do with a site that has no respect for privacy.

Straight Talk Not So Unlimited (Video)

Submitted by Dave Won. on Sun, 07/29/2012
So we made a video to show how advertising has confused some customers that told us they were terminated for watching Youtube, Netflix and other services on their ‘unlimited’ Straight Talk phones. Our quick report contains some snippets of Straight Talk commercials, and how they might have deceived people who have purchased the service based on advertising campaigns. Wontek’s goal is to report the good and bad. This story was suggested by a fan of Wontek, and we...

Straight Talk ZTE 990G Merit I was really wondering what this ZTE Android phone would be like $129, it is a well-known fact that ZTE has always had very cheap phones, not just in terms of price but also construction.
