aden with the commerce of the world. And the highest summits, Broad Law (2754 feet) in Scotland, and the great Cheviot (2676 feet) in England, have nothing in common with the rugged Highland peaks except their height. Both, it has been said, are monuments of denudation only, "lofty because they have suffered less wear than their neighbours."
It is difficult to imagine all this attractive Border Country as at one period a vast ocean-bed, over which waves lashed in furious foam, and sea-birds shrieked and flew amid the war of waters. Yet geology assures us such was its condition ages ago. By-and-by, it became a great rolling plain or table-land, and in age after age--how many and how long it were vain to speculate--there was carried on that stupendous process by which those fair green hills and glens have been so marvellously scooped out, and moulded and rounded into the objects of beauty that we see about us now.

When Law and Politics Bump Heads
My guess is that there was not a single member of the United States Supreme Court who was not personally appalled that the Westboro Baptist Church would target the funeral of a soldier who died in battle so they could get publicity for their anti-gay views. It is hard to think of any good reason why the Snyder family, having lost their beloved (and, if it matters, not gay) son while serving his country in Iraq, should be exposed to such abuse. And it's easy to understand why they would sue and seek the kind of damages that would ensure Westboro could not continue to abuse others.
Last week, the Supreme Court held in an 8-1 decision that the Snyders could not recover for the emotional distress intentionally inflicted on them, even though no one doubts that it was or that it was done so intentionally. With only Justice Samuel Alito dissenting, the Court's four liberals, all Democratic appointees, joined the remaining four conservatives, all Republican appointees, to hold that the First Amendment protected the church from being called to answer for the pain it had caused.
"Speech is powerful," Chief Justice John Roberts declared, writing for the majority. Here, two reasons demand its protection, the court held. First, however inarticulately and crudely, the signs and taunts of the Westboro Church members went directly to issues of public importance, which "occupies the highest rung of the hierarchy of First Amendment values." Second, the church members complied with all other laws applicable to the time, place and manner of public assembly. The distress, then, "turned on the content and viewpoint of the message conveyed," which is precisely what the First Amendment protects. …

Re: Rugby Union 2013 Thread
The Brumbies indeed didn't look in the game for the most part. It was very similar to the game with the Bulls with the Brumbies not having the intensity at home compared to their opposition. They also had issues with ball security with losing a number in contact, including one that led to the great 90 m try by the Crusaders.
A couple of lessons for the Brumbies in that match and luckily they have a bye to address those before going to meet the Tahs in Sydney in 2 weeks. The Tahs should be a better side than the one they met earlier in the season.

Toyota Corolla
Please Help! I have a 1995 Toyota Corolla Station Wagon DX, stick, with a 1.8 engine, 70,000 miles. Upon filling up with the new ethenol gas, that very day my car started stalling out until it finally quit. It had to be towed to my house. I believed it to be from the new ethenol. Had a friend working on it and he found a leak at o ring in distributor. Replaced the whole distributor brain and all. Car started but not fixed. Upon acceleration it chokes like it is not getting gas. Replaced the fuel pump which was bad. Still has the acceleration problem. Car runs like a dream while idleing, but upon acceleration acts as though there is a vapor lock. Have replaced all spark plug wires and spark plugs. Still have the problem. Took it to mechanic and had it put on computer. Mech stated that it kept loosing signal. He checked wires individually and could find nothing. Ended up telling me to try changing the main computer and see if that was the problem. Changed the computer and still upon acceleration it chokes, does not die, but chokes. Now it seems no one can help me. Was told by dealer that they would have to see it at 85$ per hour. I am on disability and do not have that kind of money. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Have done routine maitenance and only owner of vehicle. Never had any trouble at all from this car till now.

Iam new to JMS and in the initial phases of learning...
Suppose the MQ server is installed in a machine A, and i want to talk using its queue manager from machine B. Is it enough if i install the MQSeries classes for Java and JMS in the machine B? Or is MQClient required in machine B? I suppose that MQSeries classes for Java and JMS is available as a free download .
Pls clarify.
Re: Confused with MQClient

On machine B, you will simply need three jar files that come with the JMS client for MQ and you will be able to connect to the remote MQ server. Inspect the MQ JMS sample code and you will se how this is done.

Reviews of Vineyard Hotel
They do not necessarily represent the views of Expert Africa.
Quiet formal Vineyard Hotel
Disabled persons view: Good level access to all inside areas and valet parking was a bonus.
Quiet location very close to Kirstenbosch and if the weather had been better I'm sure there are good views of Table Mountain.
Wonderful garden alongside the river although due to it's very nature it is not accessible to the disabled, apart from the patio area.
At dinner the starter whilst very nice was not what I ordered. The waiter said he would query it with the kitchen but we never got any feedback.
This place is too big and a little formal for us after having spent three weeks at lodges and B&B's.

Vineyard Hotel and Spa review
Wonderful historic location, but if one wishes to enjoy more of Capetown it is a little far out of town as the drive can be cumbersome and bothersome if you make a wrong turn in spite of the fact it is only 15 minutes by car to town. I would ask if people had been to Capetown before and wished to discover the city proper; if so, I would place them near or at the waterfront.
All of this considered, it was a pleasure to stay here. I must say after Hog Hollow and Ocean Eleven, the room was just an ordinary hotel room. In addition, if one is there to spa and relax at saunas the Vineyard is an excellent choice.
Vineyard Hotel and Spa review
We had two rooms looking out on Table Mountain - both rooms were well-appointed and good for both the children and adults - we had two rooms next door to each other.
Meals were excellent - only challenge was on Easter Monday when the hotel was clearly the place to have brunch. It would have helped us if the hotel has warned us that it was likely to be busy as it was hard to get a table and the service was really poor (the staff found it hard to cope with so many people).
We Enjoyed Our Stay Here
A very attractive hotel in a pleasant location.
Some lovely pieces of antique furniture in the public areas and beautiful gardens, complete with a large tortoise. Very good service. Excellent breakfasts and evening meals were good too, with a choice of restaurants. The room opened on to a courtyard garden and was very quiet. Our only criticism is that the decor looked a little tired and there were no bedside lights. We commented on the lack of reading lights when leaving and were told that the room was shortly to be refurbished.
Vineyard Hotel and Spa review
Lovely hotel with really good food. On the first night there was a wine comparison dinner and they let us join in. The prices were quite reasonable too.
There is WiFi in the rooms but not free.
Vineyard Hotel and Spa review
We were fairly disappointed on arrival as the room was terribly cold and not furnished to our expectations. The lighting was poor and the room is constructed with a see through bathroom in the middle - somewhat unusual.
There were rooms on our floor in the middle of refurbishment, hence we experienced building works from early morning to late afternoon. However, the garden and food/service at the hotel was very good.

This was a good place to start our trip - service and food was good.Read more about the whole trip
An ideal location in Cape Town
I first thought that we were too far out of the city but it was ideal for visiting all parts eg botanical gardens, Table Mountain and Victoria Quay. The staff were very helpful about arranging taxis for us as we did not want to drive.
Breakfast was good ( we did not have dinner there ).
Gardens lovely and well maintained.
Vineyard Hotel and Spa review
Wow! This is a gorgeous hotel - which has all the benefits of being a modern, well equipped facility, supported by plenty of "old world charm"!
We spent 3 nights here, and were upgraded on arrival to the newly completed wing of the hotel. The food was excellent - both in the main hotel restaurant, and in the concession next door - and very reasonably priced, with an excellent selection of wines. The spa facilities too are lovely, so it's worth finding a couple of hours to pamper yourself whilst you're here!
Afternoon tea, sat outside in the garden, in the shade of Table Mountain, is a lovely memory to take away ........ In addition, it is very well located, and we had no problems at all heading out and exploring all across the Cape from the hotel.

Decadence is the measure of the overall standard of living for a Muslim dynasty. A Muslim-exclusive mechanic, it was introduced in the 1.06 patch alongside the release of the Sword of Islam DLC, and overhauled later in patch 2.1.1.
Effects of Decadence[edit]
Depending of your decadence level , your realm will receive positive or negative effects. These effects apply to demesne income and troop morale. The standard decadence level is 25%, at which your realm will neither suffer nor gain anything from it. Going below 25% will result in your levies having a higher morale and your Demesne income increasing. On the contrary, going above 25% will result in decreased levy morale and decreased demesne income. Both of these effects increase or decrease in correlation with your specific decadence level. If you go above 75% decadence you may become the target of an invasion by righteous tribes who wish to usurp your titles and end your excessive standard of living.
Acquiring Decadence[edit]
From patch 2.1.1 onwards, decadence is generated by characters with the Decadent trait. The trait can be gained by any male character who is over the age of sixteen. Characters with the trait will increase their dynasty's decadence by around 2% per month. Lowborn characters neither have nor generate decadence as they do not have a dynasty.
Characters are more likely to gain the Decadent trait if they already have any assortment of the following:
- Sinful traits (such as Envious , Lustful , Wroth , etc.)
- A small amount of land, or no land at all (living at another person's court rather than their own)
- Other negative traits (such as Craven or Cruel )
Some events triggered by bad traits (Cruel , Cynical , Arbitrary etc.) will also increase your decadence.
Managing Decadence[edit]
From the Religion tab, you can see the head of your Religion (Sunni/Shi'a Caliph), along with any active Jihads called by your Caliph. Below that is a list of your unlanded or insufficiently landed dynasty members. From here you can address your decadent dynasty members in a few ways.
Land Grants to Dynasty Members - The easiest and most beneficial way to not only reduce how much decadence per month you receive, but also one of the few ways you can lower your current decadence. The higher level the title the more decadence will be removed. Note that it is scaled according to your dynasty's current decadence.
Imprisonment - Another slightly more tyrannical approach is simply to purge the decadent members of your dynasty by granting them an indefinite stay in your dungeon. Note that only characters that have Fatwa declared on them can be imprisoned for this reason.
Holy War/Jihad - Calling a Holy War and participating will usually remove large amount of decadence (50-100%) depending on your war contribution. The decadence will only be removed at the end of the war however so plan accordingly.
Crusades - Successfully repelling a crusade will also lower decadence depending on war contribution.
Ramadan - Available through your decisions window Ramadan is a great event chain to lower your decadence and can reduce decadence by 5 points.
Furusiayaa Tournament - Available through your decisions window the Furusiayaa Tournament will lower your decadence by 5 points.
Events from Good Traits - There's also a small chance to lose decadence through various events. As previously mentioned these generally require good traits to occur.
Sieges and Battles - Decadence gained per month will also go down by a small but noticeable amount whenever you or a dynasty member participates in battles or sieges. As such, you should generally make sure either your character or a dynasty member is leading the army.
Straighten Up Decadent Relatives - Decadent relatives can be "straightened up" via a button in the Religion tab. If they accept, they will immediately lose the Decadent trait. If they refuse, you can either gain a reason to imprison them or, if you have high Diplomacy, Intrigue, or Learning, you can either persuade them further, scare them, or debate them, respectively. Even if they re-gain the trait, you get the option to straighten them up again.
- Give titles to members of your dynasty to avoid gaining the Decadent trait. (Note: Landed characters will marry outside your control, a number of wives equal to their rank. Landing family members that are not the desired heir, especially with duchies, is generally self-destructive in the long-term.)
- The "Observe Ramadan" and tournament decisions are a great way to reduce decadence.
- Random events will increase decadence. Traits such as Cruel, Cynical, or Arbitrary will increase the chance of these events happening, so any male family members apart from you or your desired heir should be imprisoned at your earliest convenience.
- Characters with the Ashari trait will never gain the Decadent trait.
- Try to have your dynasty remain at 0% decadence.
- If you can't reach 0% decadence, stay under 75% decadence.

Re: I, Borg and Descent
I Borg does take a bit of the bite out of the Borg. Hugh turned a little too quickly and easily. But I find it a mostly enjoyable episode, and Star Trek has always been about finding ways to get along with the enemy rather than fighting if at all possible.
Descent was total dreck though. Lousy story on so many levels.
Life looks better in black and white.

February 2011 has been designated as National Care About Your Indoor Air Month. Poor IAQ has improved in North America over the past few decades but it is still a significant problem in homes, schools, offices, and medical facilities.
The EPA lists poor indoor air quality among the top 5 environmental risks in the U.S. Poor IAQ is often blamed for poor concentration in school children and can trigger asthma, which accounts for three million lost work days for adults and a staggering 10 million lost school days for children.
Asthma costs the U.S. Approximately $16 billion annually, with approximately 160 million Americans breathing in unhealthy air during the course of any given day.
Enviro-Solutions is taking steps to raise awareness during National Care About Your Indoor Air Month, including publishing a special newsletter dedicated to IAQ, highlighting and providing information on their web, and pushing out a training video to educate users about IAQ.
"This (IAQ) is just too important an issue to ignore and everyone knows the professional cleaning industry can do much to help eradicate this problem," says Mike Sawchuck, vice president of Enviro-Solutions. "My hope is that a lot of good comes out of this project."

Venice Grand Canal Boat Tour
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Venice Grand Canal Boat Tour. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
It was nice. A great way to begin touring the area. We would recommend touring the area by boat tour or boat taxi before beginning walking the area. It is a great way to get an overview of the area. Just watch your head when you go under bridges!
Very Good Tour. All the information about the sites were given very clearly
Loved this tour. We were able to see so much more of Venice. Our guide was friendly and very knowledgable
We were able to take amazing pictures from the boat
Great tour and awesome guide.
Excellent tour. Registering and being put into groups was not very well organised.
Canal Tour was highlight of our trip to Venice. only three couples on our tour boat. went down the entire length of the Grand Canal along with several other side canals. tour guide was excellent. wonderful way to see the City. not comparison to taking a ride on the Vapporetti. sure you see the same stuff, but without any info. this is a must do for anyone staying in Venice.
This was awesome!! The tour guide was so nice and fun! She was highly knowledgeable. Beautiful ride while learning so much about the area. Will recommend the boat ride through this company to all!!
What a ride! Great guide, beautiful boat and who can find fault with the canals in Venice.
Awesome Experience, well coordinated, not heavily crowded they take you in small groups
Great tour with a very personable and knowledgeable guide. Highly recommended!
rblm75. Leanne
Wonderful tour - good guide and absolutely magical city.
Christina very good. Nice overview.
This tour was amazing!
Very informative. Everyone should do this while in Venice.
Top tour
Our guide was kind, knowledgeable, and interesting. Besides pointing out landmarks and telling us about their history, she shared with us about daily life in Venice. It was rainy when we went out on the water, but the boat is covered, so that was not an issue.
The trip was excellent as was our guide Christina?, the group of about 21 people was split into smaller groups of 7 and did the trip in different boats. Our guide was very friendly, helpful, informative and even funny. The tour gives you a great idea of the city and shows you parts you cant always see or find from the streets. I would highly recommend doing this along with the walking tour of Venice as both give a great insight.
A great way to see the city in a short time. Our guide was very thorough and had lots of information to share about the Venice. We took a 4:30 tour but we would have preferred it earlier in the day had there been openings. It was nice to have a small group 9 as it made for good visibility. We asked a few questions and would have asked more had the guide not had to run off to gather her next tour group. Ask your questions on the boat as there is no time once you dock!
Easy to find meeting point. After taking the romantic gondola the day before, wish we had just done the boat tour as so informative and saw so much. Our guide Christine was brilliant, her knowledge of everything including the dates buildings constructed and to what architectural style was great to hear. Well worth the money and would say anyone visiting Venice must do the boat tour.
This tour was amazing!
Tour guide was very enthusiastic about showing all the famous places.
Skip the gondola and do this!
Great tour and tour guide.Fun and informative!

Very good tour. The girl was very well informed and had a good command of English. Very enjoyable
Amazing experience, very good for photos, and great information from the guide

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
Forum Moderators: phranque
I'm trying to set up a gaming site, and users will want to upload their files to my rented server space. The admin tells me their is a scripting upload limit of 8MB, and that I'll have to use FTP to upload anything larger (FTP://mydomain.com).
How to do that thru my website? I'm running a Joomla site, but I can plug in code into modules that people can use.
Any help would be appreciated!
I'm running Joomla, and came across DocMan, a file management program that also allows uploads. So, I tried uploading a larger file - 55MB, and it worked! It also lets you transfer a file from one server to another directly. Pretty nice. I don't know how it got around their "limit" - but it looks as though it has. I'm not saying this is going to be THE solution - some problem might crop up - but it's looking good.
It breaks the file up into packets, getting around the server's UL limit, then reassembles it on the server. I've uploaded as much as a 225MB file in one shot.

Hi everyone. I'm Joan, otherwise known as Luna on this thing known as the internet. I'm 20 years old, a gamer who's been playing for about 18 years of her life, and a big nerd to boot. *laughs*
I will write on this every so often, usually baout very random things on my mind.
As you cal tell, I'm a tremendous KOTOR fan, having played and beaten both games several times. I really didn't care about anything in the Star Wars universe until I started playing these games, and I now find myself being slowly drawn into the elaborate mystery that is Lucas.
(upcoming rant)
That being said, I'm really disappointed with KOTOR 2..
You know, I was always wondering what exactly was going on during Knights of the Old Republic 2. The characters and story was good, but the ending really fell..flat. Like something was unresolved; there's this great gap in what had happened.
Well, now I know, and it kind of pisses me off.
Obsidian was rushed by LucasArts to make the holiday deadline, and thus, they had to cut a lot of significant cut-scenes and dialogue from the ending of the game. To see a sample of what was cut, look here:
Missing Content
New planets, content, sub-quests, and quite a large and important part of the plot is missing from a game that truly needed it.
Now, I'm not blaming Obsidian for this one bit. As much as I love the first KOTOR, KOTOR 2 was quite an improvement, gameplay wise. Additional feats and powers alone made KOTOR 2 a fun game in and of itself.
When it comes to the characterization and story, however, everything fell apart. For me, the storyline and characters are what make a game, not graphics or music (although it does help, if only to draw you into the story and 'feeling'). This game had the potential to do great things with the vibrant characters they made, and because of a rather stupid administrative(sp) decision, they had to cut what was, in my opinion, some of the greatest parts of the game.
Shame, LucasArts. People would have bought the game if it was delayed, and you would have made your sales, regardless of the holiday rush or not, believe me. KOTOR is what drew me into the whole Star Wars universe to begin with; without it, I probably wouldn't care either way for the series. Now, it's being ruined because of plot holes due to you rushing your developers. Nice job.
If a KOTOR 3 is made, I hope to see the conclusion of what happened with both the Exile and Reven. Hopefully, it will explain a lot of what was missing.
Well, that's enough randomness for now. If I have anything of interest to write in this later, I will. Bye.

Some Small Business Owners Put Plans on Hold
Some small businesses are once again putting hiring plans on ice while considering layoffs and salary freezes.
Owners say the stock-market meltdown and the downgrade of the government's credit rating have only worsened their outlook, which was already trending downward.
Keith Allison, chief executive of Systel Business Equipment Co., an office-equipment provider in Fayetteville, N.C., says he is afraid to add to the company's 260-employee head count, even though revenue is up 14% from a year ago.
"We don't want to hire anyone unless we absolutely have to," he says. "We would like to expand and grow faster, but before I give the order to attack, I want to make sure I know what my taxes are going to be, what the availability of capital is going to be."
Mr. Allison says a pay freeze that the company implemented in 2008 and then lifted at the start of this year could soon return. "We may have to reinstate it at the end of this year," he says.
The National Federation of Independent Business's latest small-business optimism index dipped to 89.9 in July from 90.8 in June—the fifth consecutive decline.
Over the next three months, just 10% of small-business owners expect to increase employment, while 11% plan to reduce their work forces, according to the NFIB report.
"Small-business owners are now really on their heels," says Wayne Rivers, president of the Family Business Institute Inc., a Raleigh, N.C., advisory firm for privately held family businesses. "Most have absolute hiring freezes, and if they don't, it means they're laying off people."
While the Wall Street shake-up isn't likely to have a direct impact on small businesses, it could negatively affect their customers, says Jeff Stibel, chairman and chief executive of Dun & Bradstreet Credibility Corp., a business credit-rating agency in Los Angeles.
"When the market goes down, whether they're fully invested in it or not, people feel like they have less wealth, and when that happens, consumer sentiment drops and ultimately consumer spending drops," he says.
Michael Alter, president of SurePayroll, a wholly owned subsidiary of Paychex Inc., PAYX 0.41 % a national payroll and human-resources company in Rochester, N.Y., says small businesses looking to scale back typically have few options other than to cut staff and wages, and rely more on temporary help.
"Smaller businesses don't have the same degree of flexibility in terms of sources of capital as large companies," he says. "They can only do one of two things: Freeze growth plans and wait on the sidelines, or take corrective action by cutting jobs or spending. Either way, it's not a rosy picture."
Kirstin Martin, the owner of Smitten Boutique LLC, a special-occasions gift shop in Chicago, says she hired two new workers earlier this year, but is unlikely to hire any more. The store currently has four employees.
More on Small Business
"You get that sense of panic that we're going to revisit the lows of the past few years," she says. "You want to make sure the dollars are going to be there before making any big decisions."
To be sure, some small-business owners are unbowed. Jeff Gilling, the chief executive of Diamond Antenna & Microwave Corp., a Boston-area manufacturer of radar and satellite-equipment parts, says he is going ahead with expansion plans, including an international joint venture to grow overseas.
"I'm not going to let conditions in the macro financial markets influence that decision," he says. "We get buffeted by these events, but we're a small company with a niche market and we're going to do what we have to do to grow."
Mr. Gilling says that his 58-employee company has been profitable throughout the downturn.
In recent years, he has added a handful of new employees and expects to hire more in the months ahead.
"What we're doing is no different from what we've always done," he says. "What we need to avoid is a mass neurosis of the economy."

My favorite though is around here they have beer that's sold in the actual 1/2 gallon brown glass chemistry bottles, they cost $3 ($4 cheaper than buying them from photographers formulary / B&H) and you get 1/2 gallon of beer to go with it, hehe

No children in my household. Maybe some day.
When I was a child, my parents repeatedly told me to never drink something from under the sink, the basement, or utility room... and I listened. Actually, I'd never even considered it, and thought it was odd they'd even say that.
I suppose I was conditioned to think that drinkable fluids came from only two places, the faucet or refrigerator. That little psychological bias was probably more powerful than anything else.
I use 32 oz Hydrogen Peroxide bottles. Very inexpensive.
If you are annoyed that people bring up that chemical safety side of discussion, why bring it up when no one was talking about it??
I don't do it because I am the dummy who makes unbelievable mistakes sometimes. But that's just me.

Me too I was hacked from Sega Kingdom conquest over $100 from my Pay Pal acc this week.Apple know it but take too long for my refund!!. I'm still waiting Apple ....... also!!!
hackerhunter Nov 26, 2011 4:13 PM
Re: iTunes store account hacked in response to Yosmel
I only can recommend, to set the possibility of payment to none...especially if you use cash services like paypal.
Only activate any payment possibility if you want to iniciate an individual transaction.
After that set payment possibilities to none again.
I had another cash-service than paypal.
But I also did`nt use iTunes for serveral years.
So I cannot remenber the exactly way of paying.
I think there is an automatism to pay here.
It seems, it is not necessary to confirm the hopefully different password for the cash-service.
If I am right...that is the second problem of security beneeth the e-mail-adress used as account-id.
If I am wrong, the hackers know the mostly different passwords of the individual cash-services and the related e-mail-adress...often the same as at iTunes.
That could be very expensive...but I don`t think, that I am wrong.

Re: iTunes store account hacked in response to stereocourier
I had similar situation and they were very nice and helpful to restore my credit and the wise advise was to sign out right after the purchase.
Now I have another situation with the endless hrs. that is taking me to download an hd movie.
will see what happends.

I just got hit today for about $30. All store credit as I did not have a CC linked. Waiting for Apple to respond.
The fraudulant purchases were all apps called Sixjoy Hong Kong
Dear XXXXX XXXXXXX
Your Apple ID, XXXXX, was just used to make a purchase in 三国塔防 - 魏传 from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.
If you made this purchase, you can disregard this email. It was only sent to alert you in case you did not make the purchase yourself.
If you did not make this purchase, we recommend that you go to iforgot.apple.com to change your password, then see Apple ID: Tips for protecting the security of your account for further assistance.
ck08 Dec 3, 2011 6:53 PM
Re: iTunes store account hacked in response to ck08
Ok. Got a quick response from Apple. I did not like the tone as they chastized me for not being secure which is bogus. Anyway, I got a credit for the cost of the fraudulant apps but they did not refund the sales tax. Anyone else with an experience like this? Even though it is only $2 I will hound them until I am made whole again.

My iTunes account was hacked for a total of $41 overnight....seems like I am not alone!! Apple also emailed me realising a dodgy transaction as below;
Your Apple ID xxxxxxxxx was just used to make a purchase in 帝國 Online from the App Store on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID.
If you made this purchase, you can disregard this email. It was only sent to alert you in case you did not make the purchase yourself.
If you did not make this purchase, we recommend that you go to iforgot.apple.com to change your password, then see Apple ID: Tips for protecting the security of your account for further assistance.
My credit card was also removed from my account. I will now just use gift card top ups of $20 to minimize future issues.
I've had my iTunes account for several years and this is the furst time I have had a problem...I hope Apple do the right thing by me...
Roger Wilmut1 Dec 4, 2011 2:42 AM
Re: iTunes store account hacked in response to mrmaxwell77
My policy is not to keep the credit card number on the account: I put it in if I want to make a purchase, and remove it immediately afterwards. I know it's a bore (I don't make that many purchases so it's not too bad for me) but not so much of a bore as having to deal with fraud.

Re: iTunes store account hacked in response to stereocourier
This weekend I've experienced a very frusterating hack with my itunes account. YesterdayI recieved notice in my e-mail that two $50 gift cards had been purchased with my apple store account. Somehow the hacker had gained access to my account, changed the billing address to some unsuspecting lady in California (we live in TX), and used a Master Card ending in four numbers that we do not own (probably a stolen card). We called the lady in CA, she called apple and checked her credit cards as well, luckily it was not her card. She mentioned Apple was not very helpful. Several hours of calls to apple only resulted in them talking me through changing my password and putting in a request for help on the 'express support'. I recieved an automated reply, but nothing else. I then entered one of the gift cards to see how much was left on it, to my horror it loaded $50 in my account. I then went to the local Apple store with my computer, printed receipts, and printed copies of the gift cards. The manager was very understanding and did start a line of inquiry at my request, but he explained there is little they can do since the Apple Store is seperate from the internet store. Furthermore, if I want to report it as fraud, the only way Apple will respond is if I file a police report. Which I intend to do if Apple is unresponsive. The sad part about this situation is that there is probably someone using a stolen credit card and Apple's laise faire attitude and policy's are probably allowing it to continue. My previous password only consisted of letters and I suspect someone was able to enter the account with a hacking program. This definitly was not a case of someone being able to enter the account by 'mistake'. Hopefully this is resolved soon and Apple acts quickly to help stop identity theft and fraud, but so far the've been mostly unconcerned with acting quickly to notify someone that their credit card might havde been used fraudlently the itunes store.

Re: iTunes store account hacked in response to stereocourier
My iTunes account got hacked overnight. It was linked to paypal and I had six transactions at nearly $300.
I've been working with Paypal to open disputes and they have been helpful.
I've been trying to contact Apple to figure out the best way to change my iTunes and Apple account but I can't get a live person to help me. All I get is Express Lane support which takes 48 hours for an email response. In th meantime, after resetting all my accounts and passwords, as soon as I relinked paypal, another unathorized payment came through.
This is scary and I don't know what to do to stop the bleeding. I feel like more transactions will try to sneak through as soon as I provide a credit card, etc.
colesmom11 Dec 4, 2011 12:40 PM
Re: iTunes store account hacked in response to happyclarks
happyclarks....Almost the EXACT same thing happened to me yesterday. I just discovered it when I received email receipts for purchases I did not make. Two $50 giftcards purchased using my account, my name and street address but different city, state and zip - also using a credit card that I did not recognize. I had someone make a fraudulent purchase using my credit card in the past, so I knew better than to keep my credit card number on my iTunes account, Thank God! But, I am sure whoever is doing this is using stolen credit card numbers. I just started using an iPhone, so I wonder if that is how they accessed my account. I am VERY disappointed in Apple's response. Having to send an email complaint and not being able to speak to someone in person when your personal information has been comprised is disheartening! And good luck getting anywhere with filing a police report. I am actually a state prosecutor, and local law enforcement generally do not deal with these types of crimes. They are national, if not international, and local law enforcement generally just are just not equipped with the resources to investigate. If Apple wants individuals to continue using their services, I suggest they improve customer service AND strengthen the security of their phones, apps and iTunes. This seems like a very widespread problem!

Re: iTunes store account hacked in response to stereocourier
This morning, I found an e-mail in my inbox telling me about an App Store purchase "on a computer or device that had not previously been associated with that Apple ID." The applications purchased are "帝國 Online", as well as two other in-app purchases totalling $27.76, all made on this December 4 morning. Of course, I cannot copy/paste the descriptions of these purchases from the iTunes UI...
Of course, I never bought this application or any application using my Apple ID. In fact, I do not own an iPhone, iPad, iPod or any Apple-branded hardware. I use iTunes solely to buy and listen to music.
No charge has been made to my credit card, as I had iTunes credit obtained from gift cards. I also found that my credit card information had been removed from my Apple ID account. My billing address, however, has not been changed.
My account has always had a password that cannot reasonably be guessed, and my info had never been input anywhere except in the iTunes application. I work in IT, I am entirely aware of what to do to recognize, avoid and report phishing attempts. Heck, I even make sure to check that the MD5 hashes of my passwords cannot be cracked in a reasonable amount of time.
I already changed my password this morning as a security measure.
Now, the only thing I cannot find is an e-mail address to dispute the transactions and (hopefully) get my credit back. I know I'll probably be treated just like the average teenage n00b that had "qwerty" as his password, and that Apple will still not do anything to keep this from happening again (except for a slap on the wrist I didn't deserve)... but oh well. The "report issue" in my purchase history directs me to the iTunes Support home page, which does not have a single article about how to dispute purchases.
mrmaxwell77 Dec 4, 2011 6:04 PM
Re: iTunes store account hacked in response to stereocourier
Apple will need to get better with its iTunes security. All it does is boast about how it has more active credit cards on file than any other company...talk about waving a red flag to hackers!
I've never been hacked in all my years of using the Internet....yet this hack was very straightforward almost as if someone had all my user details....smells like inside job.
To lodge a complaint and hopefully get a refund you need to log a support email via the support page under iTunes > billing query and include the order number of the fraudulent transaction (worked for me).
etiennefrommunsterville Dec 4, 2011 9:32 PM
Re: iTunes store account hacked in response to mrmaxwell77
Add me to the list of people hacked. Kingdom Conquest, drained my account balance. Luckily I didn't have any credit cards or Paypal info attached.
Great job Apple. This has been going on for how long?
Anyway, I went and bought an Android phone this weekend. and plan to make purchases through the Amazon App Store. I've been doing business with Amazon for years and never got so much as a suspicious charge.
Just give me my money back, and we can part ways amicably. Still love your hardware Apple, but your services suck.
