Hanselngretal Clinic, Stockholm: Staff is buzzing today with the incredible news that at last something can be cured without the need for tremendously expensive pills. However, elsewhere in the world, it seems that others are not quite so happy! ......Read On
The Pharmaceutical world is aghast today with the latest Report from Sweden that medical conditions may no longer need any prescriptions. Neither Glaxo nor ICI were available for comment, but rumors abound that many want to kill the Report's author, Dr Nillqvist, really slowly and without any anesthetic. There is great concern here that soon many thousands of patients could be restored to health without any tablets, and that Christmas Bonuses for the medical industry will become a thing of the past.
It all started, says Dr Nillqvist, when a Mr. Yolly, 57 from Trondheim, came to see me in a most distressed state. He told me that his latest wife had been complaining about his performance (or rather lack of it) and wanted a divorce. It transpired that this was Mr. Yollys fifth wife and that all the other four had left him for exactly the same reason. In desperation, he had been taking every product under the sun (both internally and externally) but unfortunately without success. Mr. Yolly was indeed in a critical condition.
Says Dr Nillqvist, "I felt that something had to be done immediately. It was clear to me that Mr. Yolly was running out of money (due to his many divorce settlements) and in grave danger of not being able to pay my bill. Obviously his condition had psychological overtones and it was indeed fortunate that I had recently heard about dotWORLDS domain names. I knew that dotWORLDS provide unlimited possibilities for all those wanting personalisation and easy-to-remember options, including domain names that you can create yourself. The cure was simple and without further delay, I gave Mr Yolly a brand new domain name www. incredible.lover. Straight away this had a soothing and calming effect on him, so I told him to go home to his wife and report back to me in seven days."
"Of course, I was quietly confident of the outcome," says Dr Nillquvist, "but nothing could have prepared me for what happened next. Mr Yolly returned to my surgery the following week with tears of joy in his eyes. He told me that his wife was now happily suffering from complete exhaustion and required hospitalization. Not only this, but shortly thereafter, all his other wives had returned home and were voluntarily depositing all their divorce settlements back in his bank account. All of them were now living together."
Unfortunately though, as with many new hi-tech treatments, Mr Yolly suffered from some uncomfortable side effects. After all the excitement, Mr Yolly is looking a lot older and more recently has had some difficulty walking around. Still, this does not matter, as Dr Zilli Nillqvist will find a dotWORLDS cure for that too.

Ambassador from Mars gets the spam treatment
Monday, 6 April 2009
Ambassador From Mars Receives 181,634 Spam Emails - Says "Earthlings Are Not Ready" and Takes First Available Saucer Back Home
Ambassador Edward Husmaphilpi, Age 432.7 years, returns home to Mars having failed to get a meeting with the President. "All I got was 181,634 spam-emails from a Mr Edwin FFenfenbacker telling me that there had been a security breach at my bank and asking me to send him my credit card and domain names details......Read on..
Somewhere in America - On a secret mission from Mars, Ambassador Husmaphilpi arrived here last week to offer our world their most valuable commodity, The Reversable Anorak, in exchange for a two years supply of Golden Grahams (which at this time they do not have the license to produce).
Says Ambassador Husmaphilpi, "All I did was post my email address on one of your Internet Notice Boards with the official Martian greeting (ie, Take Me To Your Leader). Well, not only did I NOT get a reply from your President, instead I received 181,634 spam emails asking me for my bank and credit card details. I knew immediately that something was suspicious, because that's what my wife used to do whilst I was at work. Anyway, now she's doing 15 to 20......it was a total shock ..... although it saved me a fortune in divorce costs .... but I still love her..... (contd on page 99, problems page)
So, back to the story.....Mr Elwin Bagaaaaaaha, from the planet Saturn who would give his address only as "Hanger 47 somewhere in Nevada" was not amused at this snub to a fellow alien and said the Ambassador should have gone to dotWORLDS (www.dotworlds.net) as they alone could have prevented this travesty.
Mr Bagaaaaaaha, (who arrived here by starship in the year 1743) is one of a growing band of Earth residents using dotWORLDS domain names unspammable email addresses. With over 26 million .com domain names currently registered, many to speculators, he found relevant and memorable names were almost impossible to find. As a highly intelligent being, he realised that dotWORLDS has now released a very large range of potential domain names to the Internet to provide unlimited possibilities for all those who want personalization and easy-to-remember options.
Unfortunately however, back on Mars, news of the Ambassador's treatment on Earth was not being taken well (Mars is not a place you want to be anywhere near when something like this happens). To try and quell the growing unrest and rioting in Slemelvoster (the capital of Mars), Mr Bagaaaaaaha immediately presented Ambassador Husmaphilpi with a signed picture of Jessica Simpson and his very own dotWORLDS email address "edward @ambassador.mars".
Now, edward @ambassador.mars can email president @the.whitehouse, and ask him about Breakfast Cereal Technology. He may not get the leader of America (he might only get a specialist monthly magazine), but there is no way Ambassador Edward Husmaphilpi is ever going get any more spam emails.
So, Earthlings, get with the programme and you could be responsible for peace in the universe and the first ever Trade Agreement between the Earth and Mars. Go to www.dotworlds.net today, join the growing band of converts and get there FIRST!

To Google - A Verb Meaning "To Search"
Users will need to upgrade their browsers to see this (instructions below), but a new website, "www .to.google," has been launched on the Internet. Providing a list of search engines, this site is neither part of, nor does it belong to Google Inc.
It seems that more and more people are defining the term “to google” as a verb, meaning to look for something, rather than just the popular search engine. This change has led to some interesting exchanges in the war of words and dictionaries and more recently, with the launch of "www .to.google".
Simply put, "www .to.google" is a website that lists Search Engines (under a number of headings and in no particular order). Visitors to this website may not be inspired by its size, but nevertheless "www .to.google" is making waves.
This site, and other groundbreaking websites like it have suddenly appeared all over the web. They are made possible by the release of brand new domain names, now available though dotWORLDS registrars (www.dotworlds.net), and bring Internet users greater flexibility than ever before. For example if you want to be seen as more successful, you could try registering "www .extremely.rich". Want to be more attractive? Try securing "www .good.looking". Looking to become more famous? Then perhaps "www .pop.star" is still available. But enough of the hypothetical: today. If you want a list of search engines, you can already visit "www .to.google". (Viewing instructions shown at the bottom of this press release).
So, have there been complaints about "www .to.google"? Say dotWORLDS, “At this time nobody has contacted us with any issues - and that includes Google Inc themselves. In fact, we are currently in touch with Google Inc on a different matter requesting further removals of anonymous content from Google Inc's website. Therefore we think if there was a problem they would have already told us. Despite our estimations that Google Inc has now withdrawn over 1500 of the links we complained about, in the separate matter of this new website, they have not approached us at all."
About "www. to.google" and how to visit it: To see websites like "www .to.google", simply upgrade your browser totally free of charge by visiting www.dotworlds.net and clicking the orange "Upgrade Your Browser" link at the top right hand side of the page and then follow the on-screen instructions.
About dotWORLDS: dotWORLDS (www.dotworlds.net), a company focused on providing fully customizable Internet domain names, e-mail addresses and hosting free through its global infrastructure and provides a free browser upgrade that allows viewing of customized domain names.
Say dotWORLDS , "This is a very exciting development. We offer choice in what was an increasingly restricted market. Now, people have the ability to use domain names for what they were intended: a memorable, relevant and fun way for people to find websites and content on the Internet. We have already seen communities springing up around some of the free domains that we offer, such as ".music", and with the freedom to invent Internet addresses they really want, people are turning to these dotWORLDS to express themselves."

Why Does Google Publish Libel?
"At a time when Google proposes to amass ever more sensitive and personal information on Internet users worldwide, Google's lack of responsibility in actively distributing unsupported libel has given many, real cause for concern. It is the unique status of libel law in America that allows Google immunity from prosecution from anything they publish on www.google.com. And yes, that includes anything they'd like to publish about you" claims Brian Retkin Director dotWORLDS.
London, England 5/31/2007 6:24 AM GMT (TransWorldNews) AND as published on Google’s own website
By allowing defamation, libel and character assassination to be posted on their Search Engine by the unverified, the alias and the anonymous, Google undermines and threatens individuals and corporations alike” says Retkin “Alarmingly, Google operates such a policy without fear of accountability, responsibility or compensation for any unjustified degradation suffered by individuals or for the potentially huge costs incurred by businesses supplying bona fida goods and services to the economy”.
“Google’s complete lack of care in this field is certainly not reflected in their own ambition as they adapt their Search Engine results to accommodate their own sensitivities” says Retkin “In facilitating their growth globally, Google often filters offensive material when catering to new markets with tighter controls. Unfortunately for almost everyone else, or at least those without a few million dollars in the bank to fight back, should Google distribute unsubstantiated and damaging libel about you, there's little that you can do about it – at least not for a few years as that’s how long they keep their information current”.
Is this the same Google that's now begging for even more personal information about you, your family, your lifestyle and any other sensitive data you might care provide? “Well, yes it is” says Retkin “Today, Google needs you. Google needs you for their databases, for their marketing projects and for umpteen other schemes under development. On this subject at least, Google can't wait to help you out. The questions that arise are whether or not Google can be trusted to use the information responsibly and whether, on past performance, their proposals should even be considered?”
Why has this been such a worry to so many? “In our case and for some time” say Retkin, our company dotWORLDS has been trying to persuade Google to remove numerous grossly libellous articles published on their Search Engine. Google's initial response was that they had no responsibility for any content displayed on their websites and that complaints should be directed to the author. However, as these articles were written and posted anonymously (an option available to anyone with even the most basic knowledge of the Internet) there was no way of tracing the culprit(s) even though we were fairly certain it came from one or more of our competitors.”
dotWORLDS feel that these libellous postings would probably never have been seen but for the Search Engine, as they believe that the attacks on them are all but indistinguishable from so many other unsubstantiated and obscure grudge web pages on the net. “Rather” say dotWORLDS “it is Google's web-crawl system that allows for just about anything, no matter how inaccurate, spurious, nonsensical or even illegal to be gathered unscreened, recorded, indexed and ranked, later to be disseminated at Google’s inclination to millions Internet users across the world”
There are rulings that Google can rely on in cases such as dotWORLDS and they are the same rulings that would probably govern the use of your private information should Google get hold of it. For example:
1) Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (USA), 1996....…This Act specifically states that "no provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker." That legalese means that, unlike print and broadcast companies, online service providers cannot be sued for disseminating defamatory attacks on citizens posted by others.
2) Excerpt from BBC report from November 2006 entitled "Bloggers and US internet providers cannot be liable for posting defamatory comments written by third parties, the California Supreme Court has ruled" .......Overturning a decision by the San Francisco appeal court, the court ruled that people claiming they were defamed online could now only seek damages from the original author of the comments - and not the website which re-posted it. The court ruled that that Internet Service Providers were protected by US Federal law that said providers of chat rooms or news groups are not considered the publishers of information furnished by others. "The prospect of blanket immunity for those who intentionally redistribute defamatory statements on the Internet has disturbing implications," said Associate Justice Carol A. Corrigan.
Still, it’s not all bad news. Using legal argument, dotWORLDS estimate that they have forced Google to remove over 1500 libellous links from Google’s websites worldwide (eg: google.co.uk, google.fr etc) – with the notable exception of Google’s American website www.google.com. Even so, dotWORLDS are convinced that despite the differing libel laws, they’re moving closer to fulfilling even that challenge. More recently dotWORLDS claim they discovered that Google had begun re-publishing libel in the UK, that under threat of court action from dotWORLDS, Google had agreed to withdraw. “We believe that Google have now committed a serious offence under English law” say dotWORLDS
Search for dotWORLDS on Google's UK website (www.google.co.uk) and dotWORLDS claim you won’t find much of the libel remaining. DotWORLDS say it was a very different story not so long ago although much has been achieved since then. What you will find instead are a number of legal notices at the bottom of the search pages to the effect "In response to a legal request submitted to Google, we have removed 3 result(s) from this page. If you wish, you may read more about the request at ChillingEffects.org".
Whilst this is a victory for dotWORLDS, it is by no means a total victory. Make exactly the same dotWORLDS search on Google's USA website (www.google.com) and included on the information displayed you will see the libel that Google has deleted on its other websites. Even more disappointing for dotWORLDS is that there is little or no mention of the Google/dotWORLDS dispute “Where is the balance?” says Retkin “We haven’t seen dotWORLDS legal requests to Google, nor any of Google’s deletions notices that have been posted on Google’s other websites. We haven’t even see the hyperlinks to information on the deletions dotWORLDS forced Google to make. This alone should be of great concern to anyone relying on Google’s information as truth (although why shouldn’t they). In the case of dotWORLDS, not only is Google potentially misinforming their American users but they are also putting them at risk of immediate legal action should they repeat the libel publicly. In a lengthy and expensive hearing, the plea ‘I saw it on Google’ is not a defense. It is only Google that has protection”.
Whether or not Google wish to remove libellous content on their USA website, having already made a judgement call to delete it in the UK, should the same information on the Google/dotWORLDS dispute be displayed on Google USA. “Yes” say dotWORLDS “by refusing to publish crucial information on their own home ground in the same way, Google's claim that they are not the arbiter of the Internet becomes spurious. Have Google intentionally censured their own content and if so, what is the reason? Coming directly from Google office, this information on the dispute should be the first thing displayed. However, on Google’s USA, website the information it doesn’t even seem to exist - at least not where it’s supposed to“.
Google for us was about relevancy, accuracy and quality, say dotWORLDS “but out of approximately 8 billion results currently available, suddenly somehow more than 1 billion are related to Google. Can there really be 1 billion interesting, relevant and/or different things to say about them? Perhaps the quest is now for quantity whatever the cost? Perhaps Google believe that the Search Engine with the most web pages can triumph over all others. Perhaps this has become a race to an indeterminate finish line. If this is so, perhaps this is the answer to the question: Why does Google publish libel? Perhaps it’s just because Google can“.

Unfortunately for almost everyone else, or at least those without a few million dollars in the bank to fight back, should Google distribute unsubstantiated and damaging libel about you, there's little that you can do about it – at least not for a few years as that’s how long they keep their information current”.
Is this the same Google that's now begging for even more personal information about you, your family, your lifestyle and any other sensitive data you might care provide? “Well, yes it is” says Retkin “Today, Google needs you. Google needs you for their databases, for their marketing projects and for umpteen other schemes under development. On this subject at least, Google can't wait to help you out. The questions that arise are whether or not Google can be trusted to use the information responsibly and whether, on past performance, their proposals should even be considered?”
Why has this been such a worry to so many? “In our case and for some time” say Retkin, our company dotWORLDS has been trying to persuade Google to remove numerous grossly libellous articles published on their Search Engine. Google's initial response was that they had no responsibility for any content displayed on their websites and that complaints should be directed to the author. However, as these articles were written and posted anonymously (an option available to anyone with even the most basic knowledge of the Internet) there was no way of tracing the culprit(s) even though we were fairly certain it came from one or more of our competitors.”
dotWORLDS feel that these libellous postings would probably never have been seen but for the Search Engine, as they believe that the attacks on them are all but indistinguishable from so many other unsubstantiated and obscure grudge web pages on the net. “Rather” say dotWORLDS “it is Google's web-crawl system that allows for just about anything, no matter how inaccurate, spurious, nonsensical or even illegal to be gathered unscreened, recorded, indexed and ranked, later to be disseminated at Google’s inclination to millions Internet users across the world”
There are rulings that Google can rely on in cases such as dotWORLDS and they are the same rulings that would probably govern the use of your private information should Google get hold of it. For example:
1) Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (USA), 1996....…This Act specifically states that "no provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker." That legalese means that, unlike print and broadcast companies, online service providers cannot be sued for disseminating defamatory attacks on citizens posted by others.
2) Excerpt from BBC report from November 2006 entitled "Bloggers and US internet providers cannot be liable for posting defamatory comments written by third parties, the California Supreme Court has ruled" .......Overturning a decision by the San Francisco appeal court, the court ruled that people claiming they were defamed online could now only seek damages from the original author of the comments - and not the website which re-posted it. The court ruled that that Internet Service Providers were protected by US Federal law that said providers of chat rooms or news groups are not considered the publishers of information furnished by others. "The prospect of blanket immunity for those who intentionally redistribute defamatory statements on the Internet has disturbing implications," said Associate Justice Carol A. Corrigan.
Still, it’s not all bad news. Using legal argument, dotWORLDS estimate that they have forced Google to remove over 1500 libellous links from Google’s websites worldwide (eg: google.co.uk, google.fr etc) – with the notable exception of Google’s American website www.google.com. Even so, dotWORLDS are convinced that despite the differing libel laws, they’re moving closer to fulfilling even that challenge. More recently dotWORLDS claim they discovered that Google had begun re-publishing libel in the UK, that under threat of court action from dotWORLDS, Google had agreed to withdraw. “We believe that Google have now committed a serious offence under English law” say dotWORLDS
Search for dotWORLDS on Google's UK website (www.google.co.uk) and dotWORLDS claim you won’t find much of the libel remaining. DotWORLDS say it was a very different story not so long ago although much has been achieved since then. What you will find instead are a number of legal notices at the bottom of the search pages to the effect "In response to a legal request submitted to Google, we have removed 3 result(s) from this page. If you wish, you may read more about the request at ChillingEffects.org".
Whilst this is a victory for dotWORLDS, it is by no means a total victory. Make exactly the same dotWORLDS search on Google's USA website (www.google.com) and included on the information displayed you will see the libel that Google has deleted on its other websites. Even more disappointing for dotWORLDS is that there is little or no mention of the Google/dotWORLDS dispute “Where is the balance?” says Retkin “We haven’t seen dotWORLDS legal requests to Google, nor any of Google’s deletions notices that have been posted on Google’s other websites. We haven’t even see the hyperlinks to information on the deletions dotWORLDS forced Google to make. This alone should be of great concern to anyone relying on Google’s information as truth (although why shouldn’t they). In the case of dotWORLDS, not only is Google potentially misinforming their American users but they are also putting them at risk of immediate legal action should they repeat the libel publicly. In a lengthy and expensive hearing, the plea ‘I saw it on Google’ is not a defense. It is only Google that has protection”.
Whether or not Google wish to remove libellous content on their USA website, having already made a judgement call to delete it in the UK, should the same information on the Google/dotWORLDS dispute be displayed on Google USA. “Yes” say dotWORLDS “by refusing to publish crucial information on their own home ground in the same way, Google's claim that they are not the arbiter of the Internet becomes spurious. Have Google intentionally censured their own content and if so, what is the reason? Coming directly from Google office, this information on the dispute should be the first thing displayed. However, on Google’s USA, website the information it doesn’t even seem to exist - at least not where it’s supposed to“.
Google for us was about relevancy, accuracy and quality, say dotWORLDS “but out of approximately 8 billion results currently available, suddenly somehow more than 1 billion are related to Google. Can there really be 1 billion interesting, relevant and/or different things to say about them? Perhaps the quest is now for quantity whatever the cost? Perhaps Google believe that the Search Engine with the most web pages can triumph over all others. Perhaps this has become a race to an indeterminate finish line. If this is so, perhaps this is the answer to the question: Why does Google publish libel? Perhaps it’s just because Google can“.
