Windows vs Linux

Okay, Linux came out before Windows YEAH! WE WIN...but that's where it stopped...

Linux has Terminal, Windows had DOS, and now they have PowerShell, Linux still has Terminal...

Linux doesn't need Antivirus, neither did DOS...

Windows has multiple GUI desktops, so does Linux...

Windows was popular because you could put a CD in the CD-Rom and hit next next, hurry up Finish...restart, Linux now has a next next, hurry up Finish...restart CD/DVD...

Linux is free, so was Windows and in certain part of the Countries, still is...

Linux has free programs that you can install on it, so does Windows...

Linux now has Office, Windows had/have/has Office...

Microsoft had/have/has Windows preloaded on your PC, Linux now has Ubuntu loaded on a PC...

Windows has an Automatic Software Updater, Linux now has an Automatic Software Updater...

Linux can be downloaded from the Internet, Windows can now be downloaded from the Internet...

Windows has to have Malware Software, Linux/Ubuntu/Mint/Android has to have Malware Software...

Linux was inspired by UNIX, Windows was inspired by UNIX...

Linux is a Desktop, Windows is a Desktop...

Windows is going to become more like Linux, but retaining Windows Attributes, Linux is becoming more like Windows but retaining Linux like attributes...

Windows can run Linux programs and Linux can run Windows programs...

Windows developers get paid for their efforts, Linux developers get paid for their efforts...

Windows knew that desktops were the future of their success, Linux now realizes that desktops are the future of their success...

Microsoft knew that they had to preload Windows on computers, Linux now knows they need to preload Linux on computers...

Google/Amazon/Linux wants you to like their Graphical User Interface like you did/does/do for Microsoft's Windows Graphical User Interface...

So to be clear here, it's not Windows vs Linux, it's Linux/Google/Amazon's Windows vs Microsoft's Windows...and that's a fact!

Lithium Ion Explodes...AGAIN

Long Island man burned on leg by iPhone when it exploded, hospitalized for 10 days...
http://abc13.com/technology/long-island-man-burned-on-leg-by-iphone-when-it-exploded/538929/

One of the most unstable batteries known to man or beast.

All they have to do is remove profit from the beginning of people and safety is restored, but in a world that revolves around population control with a profit this won't happen.

                "The Name of the Game is sales, and how we keep score is Profit"

If water/heat hits these batteries, like sweat from a person's leg hint hint, or water from a water hose that is trying to put out a fire will ignite these batteries like an Exothermic Explosion.

"Lithium-Ion technology is old and outdated, doesn't like heat, and decomposes into corrosive hydrofluoric acid. After a few hundred recharges, the battery is dead. Enter Li-imide™ technology, which doesn't suffer from any of these limitations."

"Lithium-ion power packs don't like being exposed to heat, because this causes the LiPF6 to decompose into hydrofluoric acid, an extremely corrosive substance. This powerful acid instantly goes to work corroding the battery."

We have been saying for years, Lithium Imide Lithium Imide Lithium Imide!

It's easy to know who is behind the continued development of Li-ion...give up...the energy companies.

They rely on you "plugging" your device into their outlet to charge your device. It's also the reason why homes aren't built more efficiently.

Efficiently means not relying on the energy companies to provide heat/electricity, when you can accomplish this by energy self-sufficient homes.

Elon Musk is not your friend, regardless of his intentions, because he'll spend millions of dollars developing the best design for his car's appearance, but pennies on the batteries.

They know that by not doing that they won't get the support of the energy companies, because energy companies want to replace gas filling station with battery filling stations.

People are living longer now because of Social Media and the Internet so don't you think you should build a product that compliments the efforts of the people?

We've gone organic by getting away from pesticide companies like Monsanto thanks to Social Media and the Internet.

Thank you Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss for sharing your idea with Mark Zuckerberg, because without him your idea would have never taken off, we know because we had the same idea, just like many others did as well.

It's not what you know, it's who you know...and that's a fact!

Superfish Issue...

If you have been infected with the Superfish/Komodia you have more of a problem then they are letting on.

"Some experts say the problem may extend beyond Lenovo. The Komodia tool could imperil any company or program using the same code. "It's not just Superfish, other companies may be vulnerable," said Robert Graham, CEO of Errata Security. Komodia CEO Barak Weichselbaum declined comment Friday."

'Lenovo has since apologized for pre-loading the computers with Superfish's visual search software.'

'Lenovo released a software tool Friday to help customers remove the Superfish code from their laptops. It can be found on Lenovo's website. But some experts say users may want to wipe their hard drives and start over, re-installing the Windows operating system however.'

Here inlies the problem, "PRE-INSTALLED" which means even if you reinstall your operating system you'll be loading the Superfish program again, because it's part of the install.

Computers now provide the Operating System and "Third Party" software on the Hard Drive, so you'll just be allowing the bandit back in each time you reinstall.

Now customers will understand why we uninstall all the 3rd party crap off computers as soon as possible. ASUS-Ware, Lenovo-Ware HP-Ware ALL OF IT'S CRAP!

Lenovo and other providers that Pre-Installed this software Superfish on your computer should do the install for you with a new image.

You have Warranty, and since they have recognized this to be a problem and said that it would be best to reinstall the Operating System should reimage your hard drive for free.

That's Shipping and handling also...

sidenote: They don't usually backup, so you'll be responsible for backing up your data. Remember, backup...backup...backup again ;-)

As we have told you, once you load the Malware into the computer, it's almost impossible to get rid of, if not completely impossible, which means these companies need to honor the warranty.

This is at the Manufacturing level, so it's even in the limited warranty guidelines, so yes, they are fully responsible.

Microsoft has nothing to do with this, it's all Lenovo's fault and the fault of other MFG's that loaded this malware into the pre-load for your computer.

...as we were about to type it: Lenovo hit with lawsuit over Superfish snafu...
http://www.pcworld.com/article/2887392/lenovo-hit-with-lawsuit-over-superfish-snafu.html

The Hard Drive has to be re-imaged, No If's ands or Butts...and that's a fact!

**UPDATE**

Facebook security researcher Matt Richard says The Social NetworkTM has found at least ten more outfits using the library that gave the Superfish bloat/ad/malware its nasty certificate-evading powers...

•CartCrunch Israel LTD
•WiredTools LTD
•Say Media Group LTD
•Over the Rainbow Tech
•System Alerts
•ArcadeGiant
•Objectify Media Inc
•Catalytix Web Services
•OptimizerMonitor

Latest Development in a Company called PrivDog, you have got to hear their motto:
"Who Can You Trust? Trust PrivDog"® :-D Worse than Superfish? Comodo-affiliated PrivDog compromises web security too...

PrivDog is owned by Turkish-American entrepreneur Melih Abdulhayoğlu: AdtrustMedia.com

Comodo is a Chinese Malware company, but if you're a part of our group, we told you to keep an eye on them, not invest in them yet, because like we said, when it comes to malware security they're a little wet behind the ears still ;-)

We told you the brands to go with this year and if you are using those brands you're good to go.

Daytona 500

NASCAR has become the Hockey event of Auto Racing. Which driver will throw the first punch, which driver will shove the first car into the wall?

Danica, the seats in butts campaign, will either cause a wreck or stay in the 20 position, in other words, move along move along, nothing to see hear.

We've said it before and we'll say it again, NASCAR needs more than just one woman driver to make a difference, otherwise it'll never happen for the ol' gal.

-- Actor Vince Vaughn will give the command for drivers to start their engines at 1:19 p.m. ET. After a few pace laps, drivers will take the green flag at 1:31 p.m. --

-- Regan Smith is replacing Kurt Busch -- suspended by NASCAR on Friday --

-- Matt Crafton is replacing Kyle Busch -- who broke his right leg and left foot in an Xfinity Series crash Saturday night.

-- Dale Earnhardt Jr. is going for back-to-back Daytona 500s. If he accomplished the feat, he'd be the first driver since Sterling Marlin in 1994-95 --

-- The weather forecast is expected to be spectacular for Sunday's race: 75 degrees and sunny --

Here's the full starting lineup for Sunday's Daytona 500:

1.Jeff Gordon
2.Jimmie Johnson
3.Dale Earnhardt Jr.
4.Matt Crafton (subbing for injured Kyle Busch)
5.Joey Logano

2 Kevin Harvick (4) Jimmy John's Car
3 Dale Earnhardt Jr. (88) Mountain Dew Car
4 Denny Hamlin (11) Fed Ex Express Car

Three-time Daytona 500 winner Jeff Gordon will be quitting NASCAR, though he leaves as one of the sport’s most successful and perhaps wealthiest drivers.…you'll be missed...and that's a fact!

Chuck and Charlie's Final Thought...

CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #491

"I know a lot of you might be disappointed that you didn't get to see Charlie Sheen in tonight's finale. For the record, he was offered a role. Our idea was to have him walk up to the front door in the last scene, ring the doorbell, then turn, look directly into the camera and go off on a maniacal rant about the dangers of drug abuse. He would then explain that these dangers only applied to average people. That he was far from average. He was a ninja warrior from Mars. He was invincible.
 
And then we would drop a piano on him.
 
We thought it was funny.

He didn't.
 
Instead, he wanted us to write a heart-warming scene that would set up his return to primetime TV in a new sitcom called The Harpers starring him and Jon Cryer.
 
We thought that was funny too."

http://www.chucklorre.com/index-2hm.php?p=491


5hVnz Final Thought:

There once was a boy named Levine,
who had a bit of trouble making it to the latrine.
Aye, a sad site and they'd all see
and the smell that couldn't quite come out of the jean.

Oh the excuses you'll hear from a boy and his story
would one day grow up and call himself Lorre
Only to end up back in the Lavatory
crying over firing Charlie Sheen...

No Such Things as Accidents...

For some reason we stumbled across this Company, not that we haven't heard of them before, it's just that for some reason they showed up out of nowhere today.

Don't know why we saw it, but we usually don't believe in accidents, because there is always a reason for everything...

**UPDATE**

This just keeps getting interesting, somebody out of the blue just today, keeping in mind that this 3D company just showed up on Friday asked us today, "WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT 3D Printing...

That's telling us that something big is going to happen here...Keep an eye on this company and little 3D companies that could be bought up ;-)
