			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over at <a href="http://www.stefandidak.com/ramble/2008/11/12/andre-alves-aware-bear-misuse-of-the-dmca-against-my-blog-post/">Mr. Didak&#8217;s blog</a> there is a very interesting and informative comment from Kent in Norway who has been very observant and noticed something particular about how Aware Bear offers their Web Design services. Kent writes:</p>
<blockquote><p>LOL He claim to be a Web designer, and uses <span style="color: #993300;"><strong>thumbnail of Templates from Templatemonster</strong></span> on his promotion pic on his site awarebear.com/design.html</p>
<p>From the picture behind <img src='http://www.andreleitealves.net/awarebear/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><a href="http://www.templatemonster.com/website-templates/17078.html">templatemonster.com/website-templates/17078.html</a><br />
<a href="http://www.templatemonster.com/website-templates/17065.html"> templatemonster.com/website-templates/17065.html</a><br />
<a href="http://www.templatemonster.com/website-templates/16998.html"> templatemonster.com/website-templates/16998.html</a><br />
<a href="http://www.templatemonster.com/swish-templates/16869.html"> templatemonster.com/swish-templates/16869.html</a></p>
<p>Well On the Last template it says RESPECT!</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know if this guy can read, or in any other way have Respect for anything, specially the Copyright law. But WTH, maybe he sue TM for stealing his designs to <img src='http://www.andreleitealves.net/awarebear/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p></blockquote>
<p>Wow, Kent! That&#8217;s a really great discovery. There have been <span style="color: #993300;"><strong>doubts </strong></span>about those thumbnails on the aware bear website because the web design activities of Andre Leite Alves over the past months have shown a <strong>complete inability and incompetence in even creating the simplest of layouts and designs</strong>. Then again, the website of Aware Bear Computers itself is a great example of how <span style="color: #993300;"><strong>not </strong></span>to create a site. You would think that a company that <span style="color: #993300;"><strong>pretends </strong></span>to build websites for businesses would at least have a decent website of their own as a showcase of their abilities. Instead, <span style="color: #993300;"><strong>Aware Bear hopes that the thumbails from the Template Monster templates are going to fool potential customers</strong></span>.</p>
<p>It is possible that the &#8220;web design&#8221; page at Aware Bear is going to undergo some changes again to remove those and replace them with something else (or something stolen  from somewhere else) because it wouldn&#8217;t be the first time that happens. Here&#8217;s an example. If you use any cache or archive engine that has the site of Aware Bear in its system and look at the changes between time intervals you will notice the following changes <span style="color: #008000;">(and those four web designs in cascaded mode are the templates from Template Monster)</span>:</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 560px"><img title="Aware Bears web design services page BEFORE the changes" src="http://www.andreleitealves.net/images/awarebearfakewebdesign1.jpg" alt="Aware Bears web design services page before the changes" width="550" height="254" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Aware Bear&#39;s web design services page BEFORE the changes</p></div>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 560px"><img title="Aware Bears web design services page AFTER the changes" src="http://www.andreleitealves.net/images/awarebearfakewebdesign2.jpg" alt="Aware Bears web design services page AFTER the changes" width="550" height="254" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Aware Bear&#39;s web design services page AFTER the changes</p></div>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Spot the differences? </strong></p>
<p>Exactly. The office picture in there (which had also been photoshoped to include the Aware Bear sign) has been replaced with an e-mail address. Of course this was <strong>ANOTHER</strong> case of <em>&#8220;stealing someone&#8217;s office picture to pretend Aware Bear is a real company&#8221;</em>. The second change is the &#8220;fire&#8221; picture at the bottom center which has been replaced with the car with the Aware Bear Logo on it. Andre Leite Alves really likes photoshopping his logo onto things. I think Aware Bear is correct in the marketing test that goes along with those stolen images, though. It reads:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Even the average consumer has developed an advanced eye for good advertising&#8221;.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Certainly Kent has proven that there are also people who have an &#8220;advanced eye&#8221; when it comes to <span style="color: #993300;"><strong>FALSE ADVERTISING</strong></span>, especially when it&#8217;s <span style="color: #993300;"><strong>yet more false advertising from Aware Bear Computers</strong></span> and Andre Leite Alves. <img src='http://www.andreleitealves.net/awarebear/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  You can stay away from Aware Bear Computers at 5 Monroe Ave in Pittsford NY (585) 473-7035.</p>
