Wanna See the Future...

Design the next NuStalgic looking Small Truck Street Electrod lowered long bed and you'll live it...

Jay Leno picks up a '74 Datsun from SEMA...

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.

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...
