Tech News Helps Distract from Real Issues

Submitted by Mike on

Lots of hacks this week that in my opinion are to distract us from what is really happening in the world, like Govt. involvement in the Middle East.

How convenient that we are distracted by things like the “5 Million Gmail accounts and password leaked” and the “iCloud fappening” and other bull like the latest Apple phone and watch that do nothing more than existing phones and watches that are already on the market, sorry Apple boys… nothing new there.

Submitted by Comedy Rants on

Anytime a new iPhone is due to be released there is always a feeling of excitement and speculation about what the latest phone will be like, this isn’t so mcuh the case however with the pending iPhone 6, no one seem to give a darn compared to the past.

Sure the typical tech news companies are posting stuff of little importance like leaked manuals, storage specs and other nonsense to get traffic… but that’s their business to find stuff.

Google Hacked to Show Russian Car Crash

Whether it was a glitch, a hack or the NSA playing games no one has any information on what has caused this.

Submitted by Dave Won on

Apple’s flagship smartphone the iPhone has been plague with problems since its release to the public especially in relation to batteries and signal levels. 

Apple has defended many of the problems sighting the issues as being normal function, or blaming the customer for various things like the way they were holding the phone etc... Typical pass the buck nonsense that many companies will do to avoid a mass recall of defective products.

Cox Data Usage Notification

Submitted by Mike on

So you recently got an email from Cox stating you went over the allocated amount of data on your account. So what do you do? Do nothing, it's just a bluff email trying to get you to upgrade your account, or better still purchase their crappy security suite. Cox hates the fact that people use their Internet service to watch Netflix and other streaming services that are far better than their own TV and streaming services. Here is a sample of the letter which at this stage is just a scare tactics.

Dear John Smith,

Google Took My Life

Submitted by Mike on

Since the release of the Google search engine back in the late 90’s I have slowly become what might be diagnosed as mild to severe retardation, I have lost my intellectual and financial independence. Let me explain if you don’t know where I am going with this.

I used to know how to Speell Wordz: Seriously Google search engine has made me so slack when it comes to finding stuff of the web, I don’t have to know how to spell anything correctly, or even close it knows what I mean.

Here is what we know:

Skype on WP8 without a Microsoft account.

Earlier this year Microsoft made the decision that Skype for Windows Phone 8 would no longer allow login using a Skype user name, forcing people to have either a Microsoft account or basically not use Skype.

So what is wrong with that right? Well some of us simply do not want to have a Microsoft account and want to sign-in to Skype the same way we have for nearly 10 years. Other platforms don’t have this restriction that Microsoft created, Only Windows Mobile.
