We see the electric going to the small truck category. Small trucks are cool and even cooler when they are fixed up.

We saw a move towards this small truck phenomenon a while ago, but it wasn't until we saw Jay Leno's pickup is when it made sense...

The Electrod.

You're looking for range and a light sleek looking city truck that has highway speed with green light velocity.

We're at an impasse with electronics as well and yes we have advanced considerably in the last 10 years, but we haven't grown as expected...

It's time to start from scratch again, but using the new solutions like the days of yesteryear when Ford invented the...Ford :-D, but with better tools and smarter methods...

McDonald's Update...

Just when you think they are getting it together, they do something stupid, don't you hate that?

McDonald's just came out with a Commercial about its coffee with some guy talking about how much it will make your day if he could put some creamer in it...really?

Have you lost your Damn Mind?

We have never tasted flavorless meat in our life until we tasted the meat from the McDonald's hamburger.

Just take a piece of the meat out of the bun and try to taste something, it won't happen...

That's your first problem, the second problem is the Pickle...

You have to ask yourself, what makes a good hamburger, and we don't see you asking that of your burgers and you should be.

In our opinion a good pickle makes a good hot dog and a good hamburger, so start using different pickles like bread and butter or go sweet and use candied pickles, have fun with it...

Your new ketchup/catsup is overwhelming for the hamburger and is the only thing you can taste on the hamburger.

Food is about layers, especially hamburgers and you need to create a flavor for each level of the hamburger to create a new flavor every time you bite into it.

That's another thing, where's your hot dogs? You gotta have hot dogs, you're not even American w/out a hot dog and you should start with the Chicago Style dog and go from there...

...and get rid of that coffeegasm commercial...seriously? Want some cream in that coffee :O=

Linux Security **ALERT**

For almost three years, millions of servers and smaller devices running Linux have been vulnerable to attacks that allow an unprivileged app or user to gain nearly unfettered root access...

What a Smart Move...

With no warning, Microsoft stops use of Windows 7 & 8.1 on new PCs How dumb is that?
http://www.computerworld.com/article/3023533/microsoft-windows/microsoft-support-windows-10-new-hardware-itbwcw.html

Well it just depends on what choices you made up till now that determines whether or not that is a dumb thing or not...

Microsoft has recognized that systems from 2003 are still running out there on life support and need replacing.

Other systems will last until 2020 when Microsoft stops support for Windows 7 and will give you enough time to save and prepare for your next purchase...and Microsoft hopes you choose them ;-)

However, that will only depend on whether or not the new technology from Microsoft works the way it should and people stick around along enough to see it...

Microsoft hasn't the best record when it comes to upgrades, they're about 50/50 it works or it breaks :-D

Speaking of breaking, the new windows is breaking all the rules and trying something nobody has done before with their attempt to streamline the OS across all platforms.

So Microsoft making the choice to not support old hardware is a "Smart" Choice for them because it fits their model of staying compatible.

Not only that, but Microsoft is also "Smart" enough to recognize that unless you're in the 10% club that has a system that can last until 2020 on Windows 7, you'll need to be upgrading anyway.

That also confirms what we said about not upgrading your windows 7 machine to windows 10 anyway, because it's not going to be compatible and we were right :-D

Microsoft is KING of keeping peoples wallet out so we knew to chill with Windows 7 and the people that bought hardware from us are still using their Windows 7 machines and are running great!
http://5hvnzon.blogspot.com/2015/08/windows-10-compatibility-issuesproblems.html

The choice is yours and you have four solutions, Microsoft, Apple, Google or Ubuntu...

Microsoft has touch screens Apple does not.

We like how Apple manages their software and upgrades over Microsoft, but that is changing and Microsoft has recognized this and is improving their update strategy.

Google is just a copy cat of Microsoft and to prove it they have announced they are going to streamline their OS with all their devices just like...Microsoft ;-)

Ubuntu is one of many desktops that load over Linux and is the primary Operating System for Europe and is completely free. No subscription fees or up front costs, and is compatible with Most software.

So you have choices and it couldn't be a better time because all these solutions are good, it's just which solution is best for you...

**UPDATE**

We have a theory: we think that Microsoft is anticipating they will need at least 3 years to put all their products and services in order.

We say this because of what Microsoft is doing and saying; they are using philanthropy and they are going to provide cloud services for 3 years.
http://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/news/2016/01/19/microsoft-earmarks-1b-public-cloud-projects/79026478/

Typically when tech doesn't charge anything means that either your system couldn't clean up good enough or in the case of Microsoft we think they need a little more time to polish the chrome...

Which means that they'll be lean and mean by 2020 when they finally close the door on 7 once and for alllllllll, a little dramatic :-P

We'll see...

Maybe so, recently we loaded a driver on an HP Stream with a Realtek Network Card from Microsoft Optional Updates and it Blue Screened the Computer (BSOD)

We don't load drivers from Microsoft, but decided because it was Windows 8.1 shouldn't have a problem, but it did and you'll never guess with what...Microsoft's Office 365 Word program :-(

Whenever you would open Word in 365 it would BSOD the computer.

So once we uninstalled the Network Driver we reinstalled from the Manufacturer and problem went away.

With Windows only supporting new hardware falls in line with what we think about trying to create backwards compatible computer solutions for combustible engines...

Here's an Idea...

Being able to charge car batteries without EVER having to plug into a Grid...

For the longest time car manufacturers built their cars to resist the wind by the curves in the car and provide enough for the radiator to stay cool, but you don't need that now...

Instead of resisting the wind embrace it and create an airflow through the car that activates windmill technology...power by motion.

You'll only be able to go so light with the car before it becomes to basic, you'll still need to provide a luxury standard, SUV, Truck...

With all that room you have now with electric cars should give you plenty of room and creative design ideas for windmill technology.

Build chambers that have a bunch of little fans, strength in numbers, then have two big fans in what was the engine compartment.'

The ol' card in the spokes trick to give your bicycle some noise was in it's infinite state, but now we know it's purpose...place fan blades along the wheel that turn with the wheel to provide more of that power by motion technology ;-)

All the air is forced into the front of the car that will rotate carbon fiber or the like or better lighter material fans that create charge...

With this turbine effect that you'll create, might be able to be used for the fans to propel the car forward like a ship would have with it's propellers...

:-D now all you need are some wings attached and a runway and Viola, you're flying...

Another suggestion is creating a belt drive off the drivetrain to run the fans...

The Stock Market Drop...

Sounds like a Rap Song, The Stock Market Drop, Mom and Dad lost their stock, so they had to sell the shop, now we're working non-stop and my boss is a...

Well one things for sure is that you should be rejoicing what is going on right now...

What's happening in the Stock market is Oil prices are dropping which means those Oil Barons aren't making a gazillion dollars this month is all.

What else is that this isn't even big news in our opinion, because it's a natural succession to what is going on in our World today, and that is the renewable energy movement.

Us Regular Folk got it figured out, and have been switching to alternative solutions like Solar, battery backup, alternative heating solutions long before Big Business figured it out.

These "Oil" companies need to figure out that Oil is not the solution for the future, and when they start investing in our girl we all call Earth, then will you see your rewards returned.

We still need oil, don't be ridiculous :-D you can't just take a needle out of an addicts arm and think they're going to stop nononono, you need some Methadone Maaaannnn ;-)

We need two solutions as we see it within the next 5 years, more solar solutions and the ability to charge batteries in cars.

Right now to charge a car by solar you would need to make the entire car solarized and still wouldn't be able to charge a car.

The levels are too low, and yes they have solar cars, but they're one person only with no amenities like air conditioning, windshield wipers...

Cars should be able to charge themselves while they drive, yes they have regenerative braking systems, which is good, but still very low limits.

People have brought back generators and have found a way to even charge while driving, but in order to get any performance out of them you would have to go larger and larger means heavier so generators are still not a total solution.

sidenote: Alternators can't charge a dead battery, that's the job of a Generator.

In the meantime, however, those solutions need to be implemented, but in smaller quantities or just enough energy that wouldn't create more weight on the car.

To us we see energy in motion,  the car's motion should be able to charge the batteries, somehow you have to harness that energy, then create a bypass to get those batteries charging.

We shouldn't "HAVE" to be tethered to energy and or be reliant on BIG ENERGY Companies...does a rock climber like ropes? not entirely, NO...

Anyway, a little off the subject, but seriously, you should be happy right now with what is going on in the stock market because it shows you that your efforts are paying off.

As for Tech Markets, well these have only proved to be vulnerable due to a couple of reasons we know, Tech usually preys on vulnerable minds, and Electronics Repair is too costly.

You've always been able to replace the item cheaper than you could repair it, because repairing the item requires certificates and wages

Electronics and Computers seem to find a way to PLATEU THEN drop...

We are also in a Generational Gap right now, and Old School is clashing with New School and one is not listening to the other, which again is no surprise...

Millennial's are the generation of the "Single Mother" era, and as we have seen has not been the best turnout.

The Gen X or Reagan Era Children we're by far the most divorced era we have seen, fact checker fact checker... :-D

You shouldn't be surprised that old school and new school aren't communicating with each other, you should expect it, you taught 'em...

Fathers may not have that maternal connection that a mother does, but they do have a Paternal connection and can be just as devastating to the man when they lose that with their child just as it would be for a Woman.

Pain is not a measurement of feeling and it also doesn't give you the right to deny and monitor your daughters/son father's right to see their children.

Out of Sight out of MIND!!! That's why fathers don't want to pay, it's not a reflection of their love to their children, it's in retaliation to their Ex.

It's a delicate balance right now on the fragility of an Economic Structure that is hinged to both assisted and self-reliant solutions.

Example: PC to Tablet...The PC requires a lot of precious materials to build and PC's are big boxes that contain big parts that are demanding of resources, whereas tablets are much cheaper and less impactful to our World.

The PC can still be made, but it's not the total solution, it's more of a Server/Gamer/Engineer type solution whereas Laptop 2/1 solutions are the future, like the..."Surface"

The money for the future is creating a way to combine both Auto and Air into one by combining the best of the solutions we have now minimally while improving upon those so-called "Best Solutions"

Software and Computerized solutions are best kept for the electric cars not combustible engines due to compatibility issues with items like, ohhh TRANSMISSIONS!!!

Big Energy and Oil companies better start rolling up their sleeves and start improving the way we live or be prepared to lose it all.

People are getting much smarter on improving their way of life due to the easily accessible and user friendly data that the internet provides.

Where they can read and view solutions in real time which is important, because we've all lived in a bit of a fantasy for too long...to many Aladdin and the Lamp Stories...

Millennial's...lighten up and Old School...plug in, it's time to communicate because we have seen what happens when we don't and we don't want to set another bad example with Generation "Z"

...or the "Founders" generation, and we agree with this explanation because we see it in them.

Remember, there is no such thing as a bad student just Bad Teachers...and that's a fact!

Kaspersky Safe Money Update...

Well we just received an email from Kaspersky two days before they said they would get back to us, Thank you :-)

This is what they had to say:

Their Workaround...

Thank you for contacting Kaspersky Lab Technical Support.

I apologize for the issues you have been having and want to help you get this sorted out. We already received an update from our escalation team. This is a known bug and it will be fixed in next maintenance that will be released within a few weeks. The current workaround is as follows:

1) Please enable hidden files and folders display:

Windows XP: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/win_fcab_show_file_extensions.mspx

Windows 7/8/8.1: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/change-folder-options

2) Right-click on the Notepad icon on your desktop OR click on the Windows Start Menu and right-click on the Notepad icon found there, and in either case then click on “Run as administrator”.

3) In Notepad, click on “File” then “Open…” and under “Text Documents ”.

4) Then browse a path to: C:Windows\System32\drivers\etc and select the “hosts” file, below the text lines that are already there enter the following two entries, each on a separate line:

185.85.13.154 gc.kis.scr.kaspersky-labs.com
185.85.13.154 ff.kis.scr.kaspersky-labs.com

Name the file hosts.hst
Change the "Save As Type" option to "All Files"
Press Save

Please check the issue...

**UPDATE**

Confirmed now that error is no longer there, Thank You Kaspersky :-)

The question remains do we need this w/a any longer once the update is applied?

We'll update...

Powerball Update...

Well the Jackpot is up to 1.5 billion dollars, did you go out and buy a ticket?

Recently a comment was made from  Mark Cuban that stated, "Just Because You're Suddenly Rich, It Doesn't Mean You're a Great Investor."

Well let's see Mark, a person invests 2.00, oh what the heck let's go BIG and say 3.00 and if they win they'll walk with 700 million dollars after taxes...that's actually a great investment, Mark...

As a matter of fact, if you invested only 3.00 to receive 700 million dollars we'd go as far as saying you are a GREATEST INVESTOR THAT EVER LIVED!!!

Not only that, but it's not your money, Mark, and if they want to blow their money on shoes let em! It doesn't affect you directly Mark, but indirectly it will...

If they get that money back into the market means that the money is available for others now, and could benefit you Mark.

"Money is not lost, it's just transferred from one perception to another" G.G.

Plus, we don't like people that tell you not to do something, because as they say, "you never know until you try"

You never know, you might be one of the greatest investors the world has ever seen, but if you listen to naysayers like this, we'll never know.

Hey Mark, we got some advice for you...STFU!

Patch Tuesday...

Microsoft Windows 10 will be coming out with it's latest build 10586.63 for non-Insiders via KB3124263...

As for the rest...
http://gladiator-antivirus.com/forum/index.php?s=fffffd826c816831cc9b21b42ba02173&showtopic=133158

**UPDATE**

Be careful because Microsoft put the ol' kb3035583 update in Critical updates again.

This update is the GWX (Get Windows 10) icon in your lower right corner.

To remove the update "again" just locate the kb3035583 file in critical updates then right click and choose "hide update" now continue your updates...

Sprint Pulls a Fast One...

Well if you are a Sprint Customer and have been paying your 15.00 a month for the Sprint's iPhone for Life Plan, well be prepared for a sticker shocker...

Last year without any advance warning to it's customers decided to do a back room price gouging to it's customers and raised the service to 30.00 a month.

If you have been paying on this plan and decided to go in and change in your phone they won't let you, and they won't allow any exceptions either.

Regardless if you were paying the 15.00 from the beginning and was expecting to upgrade, well, they're going to tell you NO!!!

They will however increase your monthly fee to 30.00 though :-D...

Oh, and if you don't want to pay the upgrade you don't have to and you can cancel it, but don't expect any refunds :-(

That's the problem we saw with companies like Sprint and T-Mobile. They'll suck you in for low prices, but when they gotcha, they're gonna stick ya'!

The other problem with paying cheap pricing is that these companies aren't building up their infrastructure.

How could they afford to keep up with the demands of technology when they are giving away their products??? They Can't...and that's a fact!

Here's an Idea...

The Employees Advocate...

We see a business that works with the Temp agencies and Businesses that teaches an employee how to advance within a career.

You don't have to skilled in any one profession to give life experience speeches to people in question with what they should do in their profession.

Many times you'll see a situation where you're tired of what you're doing, you want to advance or you want to work somewhere else.

Not only that, but these questions typically come all at once for a person, and that's where the employee becomes vulnerable.

To stay where you are is why you are at this junction, but to advance is no guarantee a pay increase and typically ends up being more work and same pay anyway.

Now, you have shown your intent with your employer, but if you don't use the right words or have a clear vision of what you really want to do might leave you in a more precarious situation then you are.

Saying things like I am not being productive to explain that you aren't being challenged in your position can be taken at face value...

Business is about Contracts, and Contracts come down to key words, not phrases, so saying you're not being productive might be perceived as you're being lazy, whereas saying being challenged is an opportunity.

The other issue is how do you ask for a raise...

Let's say you take the advancement knowing you're not going to get a raise, should you still inquire if the position comes with a raise, all the while knowing that it doesn't come with one?

You could lose your advancement opportunity and or job altogether and that would be completely opposite of what your intent was to begin with.

An Advocate for the Employee :-) Oh, and if you're not an "Owner" you're an employee, so this training would apply to supervisors, managers even CEO's...

Just because you are matched with the position because of your skillz just means that you can lose that position for not knowing how to play the game...and that's a fact!

Safe Money Update...

Well it looks as though Kaspersky has recognized this to be a problem. Finally found a blog that people were also experiencing the same issue without resolve.

We are in a 4th day with Kaspersky on this issue and are now being escalated to tier 2 support, we'll let you know what we find out.

So far we have done everything they have asked, Kaspersky gutility, Get System Info, The Trace, cleared the cached, reinstalled, made sure everything was checked, ran Disk Cleanup and now we wait...

"YES THEY'RE ENABLED" :-D

**UPDATE**

After waiting the allotted 48 hours making this a total of 4 days that we have been waiting for a response from their Tier 2 support we have found out that they are getting inundated by request calls on this exact error. They have told us that they are working towards a solution and will hopefully have something by Friday.

Well as they say, "Time Will Tell"...

What was that...

The redesign is meant the evoke a more modern look and feel, the latest change McDonald’s has made in an effort to remain on the fast food throne...
http://www.msn.com/en-us/foodanddrink/casual/mcdonald%e2%80%99s-revamps-packaging-seeking-more-modern-look/ar-CCgoGd?li=BBnbfcL

Good Idea...
http://5hvnzon.blogspot.com/2015/06/mcdonalds-blues.html

5hVnz quicktip w/out the lean, damn Google...

Keep in mind that you just upgraded to a new OS and changes are going to be made quite frequently for awhile.

End Users are famous at undoing everything you've done when they can't find their shortcut so they Restore The Computer to an earlier time :-(

Make sure you are purging your System Restores and creating a new one every time you make changes to your Operating System, or loading a Program/App...

What if you won the Lotto...

The Powerball is 500 Million...WOW! Did you get a ticket or 2 or 10...

What would you do first...

1. Sign your Ticket.
2. Talk to an Investor, Lawyer and a Banker first.
3. Wait 6 Months before doing anything.
4. Share the Wealth and donate to a charity or charity case ;-)
5. Take the cash and learn how to manage money. If you take the annuity over the 30 year period you can count on the Govt. going broke and if they go broke, you won't get paid. Not only that, with that kind of money the CIA will come after you :-D

The Rest is up to you...

Interesting Development...

"Microsoft's coming end of support for Windows Embedded is forcing the industry to look elsewhere...
http://www.infoworld.com/article/3014357/android/android-is-ousting-windows-from-its-last-mobile-bastion.html

We take notice to this because we use an Embedded Device, hmmm

Well hopefully they come out with a Surface Phone before they ditch ED, poor ED :-(

Charlie Sheen Update...

Charlie why haven't you gone reality with your condition.

If you've learned anything from the Kardashians we'd hope that it was creating a reality show $$$ and if Charlie Sheen had a reality show $$$$$

Charlie you'll make so much money that you'll have to create Foundation under Your Name!

You're money all DAAAYYYY Charlie..hey, why did you stop Anger Management? Other than you looked a little tired in most of the episodes, they were pretty funny???

Seriously though Charlie, the support you can bring with your character and real life persona would bring great gains for a cure...and that's a fact!

Peyton Manning Update...

We told you that Manning wouldn't play hurt and we were right, he's playing Numb...

You the Man Peyton, You thuu Maaannn...and that's a fact!
