An Example of Bad Parenting...
If you'll hear in the video "Mommy" keeps saying that "Mommy's Right Here"...
The Question is, where were you when your child crawled into the exhibit? Now due to your inability to watch your child an Endangered Species just became extinct...
This is why Zoos are horrible for animals today...
"CLOSE DOWN ALL ZOOS AND LET THE ANIMALS BE FREE"
In Memory of Harambe and all the Species that were killed senselessly...
Harambe 1999-2016
RIP Big Guy...you're now free...and that's a fact!
Backlash over gorilla killing at US zoo...
You might not be able to fix stupid, but you could help in preventing it...
The best time to discuss this is before you have sex...not during the heat of the moment!
**UPDATE**
Michelle Gregg has come out on Social Media letting everyone know that her child is okay...
However, she failed to mention one little word...SORRY, sorry I caused this, sorry Harambe is no longer with us, sorry I took on too much responsibility and let this horrific episode happen in the first place...
There is a petition online that has over 80k signatures on it already coming to the defense of Harambe...
Michelle Gregg called this an accident as did a few others, but an accident is something you don't have control over, this could have been avoided and should not be confused with the 'noun' Accident...
We have found blame which is difficult enough to do in situations like this, but the hardest thing to do is to find forgiveness...
Deuteronomy 32:35
It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near and their doom rushes upon them...
Confucius:
"Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves"
Confucius:
"Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves"
It is GOD's will now to decide and it is the Gregg's Choice on how they will honor Harambe and apologize to all people that were/are and will be affected by this horrific tragedy...

Fitbit Stock Update...
We're taking a special interest in this product for some reason, something that we see in its usefulness potential...
There has been a lot of talk about adding a bunch of apps to this product to improve it's earnings, but we think that would be the worst thing that can happen...
You have a phone or tablet to play your candy crush app on without destroying the integrity that this product brings to a World of chaos...
Snapchat is a company built upon chaos and built with the chaotic characters that care nothing about the product and it's ability to perform correctly...
Snapchat had two simple functions, take a picture and delete it, and to this day still does not have the ability to do so :-D yet the special interest groups don't care...
Which tells us that this program is destined to become the privacy violator app to compete with Russia's VK product...is a theory...
Chaos works and in a way it's good they have a place they can go and keep their chaotic minds working rather than on the streets with nothing to do but prowl...

"Idled Hands are the Devil's Workshop"
The one thing that you can learn from chaotic thinkers is that they keep their products simple, KIS, Keep it Simple...
This is exactly what Fitbit needs to focus on, keeping it simple, but simple can be complex...
We see this product being used in the Medical field that people can upload to their doctor to keep a running graph on their activities and monitor their status like an EKG chart...
This product needs to be able to be uploaded to any social media site to share their statistics with their friends...
We also see the product becoming "WaterProof" and being able to monitor a swimmers laps...
Their is currently a problem as one user points out:
"I bought my wife a Fitbit for Valentine’s Day and it has had several problems from the get-go — the time is often wrong, the tracker won’t update, etc. So, I’ve never given Fitbit stock much of a chance personally."
So you see you can't cater to the mindless souls of the app world that need something to do and sell, what you need to do is focus on what you currently have and improve upon it...
If Snapchat can do as well as it can with two functions of absolute nothing, think of what you can do with something of absolute...
Time to focus, time to hold a thought longer than 10 seconds and improve upon the infrastructure that grounds your product, or else your high rise will fall into a sinkhole and take you and everyone with it...and that's a fact!

Meg Whitman: HP will offshore 60% of the jobs in its 'essential' business unit
"Three or four years ago, I never would have thought we'd need to get to a 60% offshore mix," Whitman explained.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/meg-whitman-hp-offshore-60-224554906.html
Yet, she denied the rumors running rampant inside the company: that HP is hoping to sell the unit. She repeatedly called ES "essential" to the new HP Enterprise company she'll be running after November 1. She wants consulting to help HPE sell its software, cloud and hardware products.
"The new company is expected to generate $26 billion in revenue, and realize roughly $1 billion in cost synergies, within the first year. Many of those cost savings, however, will likely come from job cuts, said Trip Chowdhry, an analyst with Global Equities Research."
“Two bad assets does not make one good asset,” said Chowdhry.

"I have run large organizations. I know how to create jobs. I know how to focus. I know how to balance a budget. And, I think, a business perspective is a bit of what California needs right now." Meg Whitman
Meg "Hatchet" Whitman has cut over 30,000 American Jobs to help increase "HER" profit earnings. The prospect is to cut another 20,000 jobs by end of year to improve her increases...
HP is going to be getting into more of a services model or in simpler terms a Phone Center...
How does this story go...oh yeah, have the shareholders buy as much stock as they can even if the price goes down, just keep telling them it will be a great buy you'll see, while the Top Execs sell of their shares and design an exit strategy for Meg Whitman to prepare her for her run at Governor of California...
7 years ago we saw that California would be in a lot of peril and that is obvious today and mother nature was a big factor that we saw in the demise of one of the most beautiful states in America.
There is another factor that destroyed California and only the "Native" residents and California advocates can tell you what the other factor was that has destroyed California and is very sad...
However, that's the type of economy that people like Meg Whitman look for to make money and that is exactly what she is coming to do...and that's a fact!

Gateway Freezes when Installing Windows 7...
Gateway is a perfect company to make an example of to show what Bad Management looks like...
Gateway was out as fast as they were in and they had everything going for them...
Great Marketing, Great Techs, Response Ready and Friendly Tech Support, so how does such a good thing fail...
Companies stay small for three reasons:
1. They provide a service that no one else can do and the secret is never let out...
2. They refuse to grow and insist on keeping the one on one with their customers...
3. They make bad choices...
Gateway made bad choices by not entering into the Enterprise and Portable Market which took a multi billion dollar company and reduced it to mere pennies when they finally sold out to Acer...
One of the best purchases Acer probably ever made and still today you can download drivers for Gateway systems which is a God Send, when you have a system like the one we were working on...
sidenote: If Carly Fiorina could of taken a page out of that playbook, her Compaq purchase wouldn't have been such a failure ;-)
We are working on a Gateway DX4870 Tower and came across an interesting problem that we haven't dealt with in awhile which is the inability to boot from any device other than the original hard drive that it came with...
We wanted to restore to factory settings, but we needed to preserve the original drive for data reasons, so we tried to boot from our cloning software and it gave us the error: "Reboot and Select proper Boot Device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key"...
Then we decided to just load Windows 7 on the new drive and just upgrade to Windows 10, but it just kept freezing when trying to load the install...
We're glad it didn't work because it would have meant sacrificing a license for just an install problem which we weren't too motivated to do, but sometimes you gotta do whacha' gotta do...
We changed DVD drives, with no prevail, changed media, no luck and were about to just clone the drive on a Clone PC and call it a day, but this would require more labor, so we thought...
The problem had to be in BIOS, but we knew upgrading the BIOS wasn't the solution and that it had to be something else and finally we found it and it was so simple...
sidenote: Of course after a few hours of troubleshooting :-D
Like we've said before, some of the easiest solutions are staring at you right in the face, you just gotta look in the right places...
Solution: At boot up press the Delete Key to enter into BIOS and go to Authentication and Disable Secure Boot, now go to Boot Options and Enable "Launch CSM" (Compatibility Support Module), basically means Launch Legacy Software...
"Secure boot defines how platform firmware manages security certificates, validation of firmware, and a definition of the interface (protocol) between firmware and the operating system. Secure boot prevents “unauthorized” operating systems and software from loading during the startup process"
By Default the BIOS is set to UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) See Images below:
From what we read Secure Boot and UEFI was implemented with Windows 8...

After:
...and that's all folks, Happy Computing and remember to Love the Process 'cause if you don't, you're in the wrong line of work...and that's a fact!
