Government blog on Dec 21, 2012

I saw this news article about a blog written by the US government stating that the world will not end this December. I never thought it would but I know alot of people do. I think our lying ass government shouldn't have said anything though because I tend to be more inclined to believe the opposite of anything they say.

I think it would be absolutely hilarious if all of the electric, water, cable, phone companies would shut down for like an hour that morning. Here's my LINK.

Get it together Microsoft!!!

I absolutely hated when I saw this ARTICLE in the Yahoo news headlines! I am not a big Apple fan and I don't want microsoft to slowly die! They really need to come up with the next ne awesome thing, and soon, to save themselves!!

unplugging from social media

 I found THIS YOUTUBE VIDEO and thought it was kinda funny, It's kind of ironic after watching it that it is a youtube video lol.

I will also now be using the term "technophile" because I think it is absolutely hilarious!

Spam

I found a few interesting things ABOUT SPAM AND SOCIAL MEDIA

Did you know that about 60 billion emails are sent daily...and 97% are spam! And regarding energy spam produces 17 million tons of CO2 each year? Ridiculous.

Also, a twillionaire, is someone on twitter with a million or more followers....also ridiculous in my opinion.

Did you know....

Go check out these VERY INTERESTING FACTS!!

A couple of my favorites...

1. Alaska is the only state that can be typed on one row of the qwerty keyboard.
2. On an average workday a typist fingers travel 12.6 miles.
3. On the inside of an original Macintosh computer case you will find 47 signatures of the people who worked there in 1982.

Video game (WoW) money becoming legal tender? Maybe.

http://www.nonsensenews.net/2009/08/09/treasure-secretary-timothy-geithner-asks-congress-to-make-world-of-warcraft-gold-into-legal-currency/

First of all I have never played this game, but I have known a few people who consider it the most important thing in the world. This article is about some guy who proposed turning WoW (World of Warcraft) gold into legal tender....WTF. I really don't want to live in a world where video game coins are worth more than the change in my pocket. This is just insanity to me. Let's go back to the Nintendo days! Please?!?!

The Glass Rectangle

I do this myself, upgrade to something new when there was nothing wrong with what I already had.  I see lots of people do the same thing. They make a tiny change or make it look a little different and we flock to it. Seems crazy after reading this, but I'm sure we won't stop anytime soon.

The 25 most popular passwords....idiots

http://games.yahoo.com/blogs/plugged-in/25-most-popular-passwords-2012-164015152.html

I have known plenty of people who use passwords like these. I had nosey siblings growing up so I got in the habit of making mine pretty hard to guess, but easy for me to remember. That was a long time ago and we only used maybe 3 things that required a password though. Now days, I keep a notebook full of my sites, login ins, passwords, and which email address I use. I also change my passwords a couple of times a year. I have known people like my mother or boyfriend, who freely give out their login and password information to share things like netflix with people. My boyfriend is particularly dumb when it comes to passwords, he has a sticky note app on his phone that he keeps a list of all his log in information for everything from games to banking...he doesn't even keep a lock on his phone. He has a bad habit of leaving his phone laying around or handing it to me then forgetting. I figure if I go in and mess with his stuff or change his passwords on him enough he'll learn to keep his info a little more secure. I don't like blogging at all.

Apple isn't everything

http://shopping.yahoo.com/news/6-alternatives-to-apple-s-tech-toys.html

I know a lot of people love Apple products, not me. A few weeks ago I went to get a new phone, upgrading from the Droid X2. My best options were either an iPhone5 or the Galaxy S3. I did some research and decided on the Galaxy. It has a larger screen, better resolution, same camera pixels, and better battery life. The apple apps store may have more than googles play store, but that's not really a big deal. Plus Apple maps was a total flop and I use my google maps alot. In my opinion Apple doesn't compare. There are so many products that beat out Apple. The link I provided shows a few. I don't like blogging at all.
