It has been a while since I have posted anything here… sorry… but I have been a bit distracted with other work.

Nevertheless, something came to my attention recently I had to share. Apparently, if you want to create a Microsoft Passport, Hotmail, Messenger, or MSN account there are some words you are not allowed to use. But aside from the usual expletives and other names like “Hitler” and “Nazi,” Microsoft has designated “Tibet” as a “word or phrase that is not allowed.”

REALLY? Tibet?

Yup!

Nepal is ok. So is China.

But not Tibet.

Try it yourselves.
