Zynga is a very familiar name to almost all Facebook users who play some kind of social networking games in Facebook. Yes, you must have seen the name on the top or bottom while playing FarmVille (the top Facebook game for this month) or Mafia Wars or Texas HoldEm Poker or YoVille. It’s the most popular developer of social networking games right now.

Playdom is another similar game maker rival of Zynga. One of the most poplar games they’ve developed and I’ve played is Sorority Life. It might not be that bigger that Zynga but it sure doesn’t think like that.

Anyways, Playdom was accused of stealing what Zynga calls it’s Playbook “secret sauce” through their employees. According to Zynga, some seven former Zynga employees who now work for Playdom may have taken a few proprietary documents with them.

In response all Playdom said was what they had to say. “Not Interested” lol

This lawsuit comes as no surprise given Zynga’s penchant for litigation. We do not believe in using unnecessary litigation as a business strategy, and we are troubled to see an industry as bright and promising as ours weighed down by such tactics.

We have no interest in Zynga’s “Playbook” or “secret sauce.” Our strength comes from our 111 talented people, and we will defend ourselves vigorously against this distraction.

- Playdom

Now, I’m not sure what this secret sauce or recipe of Zynga is and it is it really what Zynga is really saying it is or whatever it is but I sure like to have my hands on it. You know the Menu Competition is on in Restaurant City. Who knows I might win the contest with the recipe of this sauce. Sorry Zynga. I was just kidding. lol

If just I had known beforehand that Godaddy is such a pain, I’d never had registered a domain there? But it wasn’t my fault after all because I didn’t register the domain. It was transferred freely to my account from another Godaddy use. A year later when I logged in to renew the domain, I had to go thru all those stupid offer pages even though I didn’t wanted to add any. I selected paypal as payment method as I am from Nepal and I couldn’t use other payment options but then the lightening hit me when I was asked to add another credit/debit card. God!!! Was I shocked? I already had a credit card verified, then why is it asking me to add a new one? No one else has ever asked me to do that? Then I thought it’s better for me to transfer my domain to another registrar (Namecheap as I have many domains there). But then again Godday would easily let me go huh? I kept looking for the EPP key (authorization code) here and there but couldn’t find anywhere because I wasn’t that much aware of Godaddy’s interface that much.

Later on I figured out how to do it:

• Login to Godaddy
• Click the “Manage Domains” link
• Click on the domain name you wish to transfer
• Click on “Authorization Code: Send by Email”

The authorization code will be sent to the administrative contact for that domain by email. Still, the transfer wasn’t completed. I got a mail later from Godaddy Inc. that I should reconsider my thought on transferring the domain and I can still cancel the transfer and I can do so in next 4 days. I still had to wait for 4 days to get it transferred. Then I was like what if I had thought of transferring just 4 days before the expiry? So, from now on it’s not Godaddy but Nodaddy for me.

 Few months back I wrote a review on “How to download YouTube video” but that time even I had no idea of this Ant Toolbar and after using this toolbar I’m sure you’ll not install any other video downloader.
Ant Toolbar is a cool, free and very useful tool that you can integrate with your browser (Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox) and download videos easily from most popular site like YouTube, Google Video, etc. with just a button click. I have so many add-ons installed in my browser but I was so influenced by this ant toolbar that I though I just have to write about it.

Features of this toolbar:

• Easily download videos from a variety of streaming sites such as YouTube, Google video and save them to your hard drive.
• Integrated Flash video player with your browser so that you can instantly play the videos you have downloaded even when you’re not connected to internet.
• Is totally free and contains no adware or spyware at all.

People just try this once. I really insist on that. Just give it a shot and I bet you won’t regret on your decision. Here’s the download link.
