Google Public DNS, new way of tracking people?

December 8th, 2009

Google launched its experimental Public DNS service, acclaiming that it is faster, more secure and powerful than most of other DNS services available in most cases. To me, as it is a good alternative, it is just another way of tracking site usage, and publishing directed ads more precisely. It is ironic that I feel the hands of Google more everyday, and like the services they offer. Anyway, I think I will use this experimental service, as unfortunately the people managing communications related stuff in my country are banning sites for simple reasons everyday. Shame on you!

A Trip to Pamukkale, Denizli

December 8th, 2009

After long hours of working and studying, it felt good to open up my eyes in a trip to Pamukkale for vacation. Pamukkale is well known with thermal water sources and (of course) gorgeous travertine. Lying up in water at 50 degrees celsius, wandering around and taking photos in historic places like Aprodisias and Hierapolis, visiting an old friend and having good time. Here are the photos.
