I wrote this a response to Why Windows 8 is a whte whale, and I was going to write an article that was the defending Windows 8, but now after using Windows 8 for 4 weeks I have come to the conclusion that this could in fact it’s the worst Windows since Windows Vista. From my recollection I don’t think I have despised an Operating System this much.

Even more new Unimax phones coming out bearing the Tracfone logo, and once again these are very nice looking phones. It will be interesting to see if they operate as good as they look once we get one in the hand. The specs vary on the phones, with MAXRazz available in two GSM models for either the T-Mobile or AT&T UTMS Frequencies for 3G. Thanks again Sweeper for informing us of these developments, and all the information below so 100% credit goes your way once again.

Destroyed company Megavideo/Megauploads founded by German born Kim Dotcom (Kim Schmitz) has been given a new lease of life this week after it was announced that Kim Dotcom and investors have launched a new company offering file sharing.

Primarily based in New Zealand, the website will be protected to some degree from the likes of the US Govt. that was highly criticized for its military style of attacking and shutting down the original company. Plus it will stop a repeat of the US Govt. invasion of the Dotcom family’s residence in New Zealand, driven by Hollywood’s piracy claims.

In a more recent string of cyber pranks, a hacker(s) under the pseudonym “Pyknic” targeted several sites, most notably, the media giant nbc.com. It was assumed by many that this was in connection to the hackivist collective “anonymous”, since the hacks took place on November 4^th of this year, just before Guy Fawkes Day. However, various anon sources disregard any association with Pyknic’s hacks.

The NBC site was defaced with a static message from the hacker(s) stating the following:

Microsoft’s bizarre treatment of Wontek over the last few months has been disappointing to say the least. Microsoft stopped our advertising on Bing driving traffic to our reviews and news. We are told we have a high density of ads above the fold of the site, that being (1) advert to be exact.

To boot we get phone calls from Bing’s call center every day asking if we have removed advertising from our site. A supervisor named David told us that we should make two sites! That being 1 site for Google and 1 site for Bing, which is a totally absurd notion.

Windows evolution:

When Windows 95 came out, it featured an improved interface that was easy to use, and brought PC based computing into a new era with the introduction of the Start button.
