Now That’s A Suicide Blonde!

Whore!

The rapid growth and evolution of technology, especially computers and electronic devices, has engendered a lot of future shock.

Whore!

Some of the examples of this are rather funny…

Hidden Settings

Despite the long-running complaints, Microsoft’s Windows operating systems are quite good. They are, however, complex and you have to configure them properly.

Of course a lot of the settings are hidden, which makes good sense but makes things a bit harder to configure.

Vice 2.0 – Social Media

jonolan — Sun, 10 Jul 2011 13:46:00 +0000

To a large extent technology doesn’t change people; it only changes the means and venues of the expression of their basic natures. This is quite evident with the advent of Web 2.0 and social media.

People are people and they gather in the same sort of cliques and self-segregate within the “confines” of social media in the same ways, though often based on different selection criteria, as they did and still do in real life (IRL).

And people often have issues maintaining a balance in their lives and Social Media becomes just another vice in their lives or a replacement expression of a previous vice.

Apt, If Snarky, Descriptions of Social Media

It’s “same old, same, old,” in the digital world because we’re still Humanity 1.0 and nobody has identified an upgrade path for us. So settle in with a cool glass of Facebook and we’ll do a few shot of YouTube later.

Browser Wars

To many people’s minds the war between the various web browsers looks like a schoolyard brawl between two rambunctious boys, with a quiet – possibly special needs – kids sitting off to one side utterly unconcerned and oblivious to the fight raging beside him.

Mmmmmmmm…Glue Good

Yessir; that’s old Internet Explorer off to side eating glue while the other browsers get rowdy, trying to figure out who’ll be king of the internet playground – or so it’s really easy to think.

The thing is though that the “glue” IE is munching on is business critical Microsoft applications such as Office and SharePoint, and a plethora of other critical web-based or web-enabled systems that were designed to work natively with IE but which either do not function correctly with Firefox or Chrome or which require modifications to those browsers’ settings – Firefox users, think about:config – in order to work correctly.

Firefox, Chrome, and all the lesser contenders can fight between themselves for the recreational market all they want. Microsoft’s Internet Explorer doesn’t need to be the playground’s biggest bully; it’s busy at work – more like the nerdy straight-A student than the special needs kid.

The Right Social Media

Despite the ongoing battle between the major players in the Social Media marketspace, there’s room for all of them because they’re not that similar to each other. They each cater to differing user needs.

What’s important is for the user base to determine which Social Media platform is the right Social Media for them.

Social Media – Which One Fits Your Psychopathology?

Obviously, due to convergence, Twitter is and will continue to be the big winner in the Social Media wars because it can be used in conjunction with all the other offerings. It also seems to be the new weapon in the arsenal of the world’s revolutionaries.

Account Lock-Out

Having strong passwords is a key component of information security, but it does have its disadvantages…

Who Gets Locked Out For Guessing My Password Wrong?

Go on! Tell the truth; who gets locked out of your systems, applications, and/or services more often, other people or bots trying to use them or you?
