What Was That...
Looks like someone else was paying attention in class, so what's your excuse McDonald's...
That classic architectural design redefined the fast food experience for generations to come. Today, Taco Bell announced a new line of restaurant designs that will do the same: with a nod to the future and a wink to the past...
http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20160517005704/en/Taco-Bell%E2%80%99s-Expansion-Anchored-Community-Feel
It's simple...McDonalds needs to change their Image by Redesigning Nostalgia to keep familiarity, but 'year' it up some...
http://5hvnzon.blogspot.com/2015/06/mcdonalds-blues.html
**UPDATE**
Just for S/G's we ate some of the Burger King Hot Dogs...They are kind of weird looking the way they form to the Bun itself, it's almost as if they were fused to the bun...
They tasted alright, but something happened, we bloated like a pig and come to find out, we're not the only person that bloated like a pig after eating the Hot Dogs from Burger King...
So you've got a little time to make things right Mcd's before BK figures out what went wrong with their Dogs...

Spontaneity...
Recently we told you to go out and have some fun with phones and not to wait for Microsoft to figure out what they are doing with the Surface phone...
We however have been reluctant to because we truly do not like Android, and are not impressed with a company that uses a paint by number application to lay over the top of a Masterpiece...
Incidents of Android lockscreen malware...
https://threatpost.com/malware-laced-porn-apps-behind-wave-of-android-lockscreen-attacks/118099/
sidenote: #1 way to get malware on your system...PORNO...and that's a fact!
If Debian were to come out with a Phone we would instantly buy it, regardless if it came with features or not, because in our eyes Debian reflects what's truly inside...
Even though Microsoft is struggling with their niche right now, we applaud them for possessing ingenuity and trying something that no one else has...
If Intel doesn't have a solution for ARM architecture that means the solutions that are out there are placebos...
AMD bought 64bit technology from Intel in the early 90's because Intel wasn't producing any, but in the end AMD failed and Intel succeeded and now again we are at an impasse...
As much as we LOVE the Samsung Galaxy Edge phone it can't deliver a total solution with next generation software and next generation technology...
That is where Qualcomm and Google fail in our opinion and there is enough failure in the World w/out joining a business that promotes failure...
We would rather go with someone that exudes confidence, but lacks following due to not being the popular choice...
We don't see champion like character in these types of companies, but with Microsoft and Intel we do, because they have proven themselves time and time again...
Apple is popular because they did something that no one did and were told over and over they couldn't do it, but they did and proved the "Popular" crowd wrong...
Microsoft has more than two phones, they have 15 phones to choose from, with many price ranges to fit your budget....
The Galaxy Edge phone is 750.00 dollars and we were willing to pay that, but when they came out with a Buy one get one Free offer, we stopped, because that told us they were overpriced...
We were willing to sacrifice our values for the shiny object, and we're better than that...
If Microsoft/Samsung and Intel got together the World would be a better place...and that's a fact!
**UPDATE**
Thank you Samsung, you've proved us right again in our choice ;-)
The numbers speak for themselves. Apple says that 84 percent of its users are on iOS 9, its latest software release. By contrast, Android Marshmallow, which has been out since October, is only on 8 percent of Android devices...

Thanks Obama...
Well Obama did it again, and from behind closed doors and in a secret session has helped promote "HOME SCHOOLING" THANKS OBAMA!!!
Public Schools SUCK! Charter Schools SUCK! and have been on the decline since the 80's...
The last of the good teachers were from the 80's era, but even then they were becoming burned out and tired of the system...
Most of the teachers at the high school level were former college professors, so at least you had some real world experiences being taught in the classroom, but now all teachers care about is money money money and how much can I make...
Our high school was a new high school that was concerned more about ratings than education and pushed students through with the best GPA their conscious would allow just to get federal funding and accreditation...
Kids today don't even know how to pick their nose correctly let alone learning anything practical for the "Real World"...
Home Schooling isn't done with a Stay at home Mom, it's done with interactive software that challenges the child more at an earlier age when they are willing to learn...
This prepares their mind to be study ready when they reach the age of 12 and allows them the abilities needed to compete with the struggles that life throws at them...
It's dangerous for kids to be on the street anymore, the food in the cafeteria is disgusting, diseases run rampant from other children from poor living conditions...
The school yard playground equipment is old and not applicable to today's standards, just like the curriculum they teach there...
They keep raising taxes on people, but not their salaries, and the medium household income is 45,000 dollars a year...did you hear that defectors 45,000 thousand dollars a year!!
That may sound like a lot to a person that makes a dollar a week, but you have to take in consideration the cost of living or rather the inflated prices of cheap plastic crap...
Teachers can't reach every child in a classroom, regardless if they were paid a million dollars a year, it just won't happen...
Don't believe us? Take a look at Seattle Teachers, they are the highest paid teachers in Washington State, but have one of the lowest testing scores (Average Testing Scores 2015 55 out of 100)
Plus people that don't have kids don't want to pay for your kids, they're getting tired of people having kids they can't afford in the first place...
What kind of life can you provide a child if you can't even diaper the child...
...don't get us started...
Look, children are safer at home, they can have home monitoring systems to watch the children, the interactive software will be a One on One lesson that doesn't move forward or doesn't fall back in the learning potential of a child...
People learn at different paces, doesn't mean that one person is smarter than another, it's just the approach that is used in order to connect properly to their learning capabilities...
With an interactive software you can provide facial familiarity, and even for children we thought that it would be fun to have caricature teachers to keep them entertained...
Think about the time people can save by not having to schedule around school, the amount of work you can now get out of the employee by keeping them on a work schedule instead of a babysitting schedule...
People's productivity will increase, the child's education will be more in tune with today's standards, the reach a software can provide to more children in places that are impoverished and can't afford buildings and teachers salaries these days...
Is it a perfect solution that we see, of course not, will there be exceptions that the software can't provide that a facility can, or course, but even with that, the current model couldn't even hold a candle to the potential this solution has over them...
Affordable, safer, less taxing, less travel, less traffic gridlock, healthier, interactive, familiar, on and on and on...

Windows 7 Updates are Slowwww...
We have noticed that updating windows 7 machines has become quite a chore lately...
We thought at first that our internet provider was throttling our downloads, but that didn't make sense because we could download and stream w/out issue...
We thought something was wrong with the router, we thought something was wrong with DNS, we thought we were imagining the whole thing :-D but we weren't...
We took to the net to see if anyone else was experiencing the same issue and found out that people are:
http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3056789/windows-updates-slower.html
Is Microsoft "Forcing the Hand" are they trying to make people's lives so miserable with Windows 7 that they are "Forced" to update to Windows 10...
Look Everybody the Grass is so much greener over here with Windows 10, come and join us, it's freeeeeeeee...
It would make sense to us if they are using force tactics considering that they were updating computers to Windows 10 without the consent of the owner...
There's a word for that, hmmm, oh yeah A**HOLES!!!
Even the Surface Pro 4 is built on Intel which isn't ARM capable, just a 6th generation processor that are used in PC's, no technological marvel, so what's the hurry MS...
Computers are already running on 6th Gen processors, and running fine we might add, plus Windows 10 has a retro feel and emulates Windows 7, so what's the hurry MS...
MS is starting to act really weird, desperate in fact, which is an uneasy feeling that makes people feel uncomfortable...
MS you gotta chill, you gotta stop acting the like the freak in the van handing out free candy to kids, it's really weird behavior that your exhibiting...
Don't you know, haven't you heard, the best way to move a product is the softsell and the takeaway close...and that's a fact!

What was that...
Minivans Are the Future...The news that Google’s next self-driving car will be a modified Chrysler Pacifica hybrid has quickly elevated “minivan” from the punchlines of dad jokes to a totally serious solution for our transportation troubles...We know Google, we already know/knew...

Waterproof Phones Trade-off...
Samsung is marketing their Galaxy S7 and S7 edge as water resistant, but if you can dunk the phone into a pool of water we would say it's more waterproof than resistant...
If you noticed the Galaxy S5 it also mentions that it's water resistant, but we wouldn't recommend dunking that phone in a pool of water...
The trade-off with making a phone "Waterproof" means that it has to be completely sealed which means you can't access the battery easily...
The S5 back panel comes off very simply and the battery comes right out, so you can have two batteries, one charging and one in use at all time...
The S7 doesn't give you this advantage which make the phone unappealing...or does it...
We have a phone that the battery is not accessible, but our phone is going on almost 4 years and still charges and works, not as good as it did the day we bought it, but it still works...
However, this doesn't matter because think about how many phones have came out in 4 years and the improvements and features that have attracted users to upgrade...
It's the "YOU CAN'T" syndrome that makes people anxious to get to the battery, but by the time you'll need to get to your battery it'll be time to upgrade your phone...
Phone contracts are typically 2 years and we can attest to the fact that our battery worked perfect for 2 years, the only thing that hasn't worked perfect is Microsoft keeping up with the demand, even with having their own phone development team in their back pocket...
This is the exception to the rule of changing your phone for a better one with a software that you are familiar with, but if you remember, nobody cared before...
Nokia was just a phone with some games on it, Motorola Razr phone was just a phone with some games on it, but these phones weren't bought for the games or the OS, they were bought simply for aesthetics only...
If you think about it the battery is the least of your worries at this stage of the game, because batteries are lasting much longer nowadays and if you go any bigger with the battery for the phone you risk explosion or fire from your phone...
The batteries have evolved and more than likely with the SoC or SOC (System on Chip) technology and 5ghz modems being integrated into the phone you'll see portable external batteries...
This is just a theory of ours, but what isn't a theory is the chargers that are needed to charge your phone batteries...
The Apple charger is over 70.00 dollars WOW FOR A CHARGER?! Yep, this is the money on phones for the future...
The problem you're going to have in the future is that your battery is going to outlast your phone and charger...
The other problem is that if you do upgrade your phone in two years will the charger be adaptable to the replacement phone...more than likely not...
More than likely they'll be an exchange program for your phone and chargers to help you with the purchase of your new phone and new home/car/solar chargers...
If you don't have the money you'll need an 800 credit score rating in order to finance your new purchase because it will be well over 1,000 dollars just for one phone and two chargers...
Plus with Windows restructuring of it's Operating System, people will now have more choices in the market and it's currently already happening...
http://www.mediatek.com/ - http://nexdock.com/future/ - http://www.jide.com/remixos - http://getsuperbook.com/ - http://www.ubuntu.com/phone and the list goes on...
As usual, Microsoft has paved the way for companies to enter the market and have given them a bunch of disconnected users just looking for something to plug into...
The only difference this time is they have taught Google to do the same thing considering that the reason Remix OS-based products came about is because Google failed with it's Pixel C 2-in-1 product...
So you see, there is so much more going on than just being able to replace your battery, so if you were on the fence already, F*#K it, Jump off and have some fun, because you're not getting any younger...and that's a fact!
