Facebook updates terms of usage and lets users opt-out of app usage tracking

While Apple and Google were recently taking initiatives into having hardware encryption enabled on IOS 8 and Android 5 by default that tells the stupid cyber-spies to technically shut the hell up and stop complaining like whining babies saying like this kind of encryption lets whatever criminals do whatever they want unnoticed, it may seem the Facebook is finally having the opt-out option for app usage tracking for the sake of PRIVACY. Not to mention that even Twitter is planning the same thing which can be opted out as well.
Like Twitter whose tracking features can be opted out by the users, this is the probably the chance for people to opt-out the tracking features for Facebook as well but before this update exists for Facebook, they already had tons of data collected illegally and that they already learnt the lesson the last time on not to collect stuffs like that technically for research, advertisement or any other bullshit purposes of their own. Users might end up bashing on Facebook if they continued that sort of bullshit but thanks to user feedbacks and various actions of freedom taken, it seems that they decided to take this recent initiative to enable the opt-out feature for the app itself in addition to the Privacy Check-Up tool which popped up on you when you visit that website again.
This official update by Facebook has not better be a lie or the online bashing on Facebook by the users may continue throughout the street.

Beatmania IIDX Pendual - Chrono Seeker Progress

You know, I'm frankly sick of those in-game events that require too much of grinding which is an extremely tedious thing in video games. The tedious ones as I knew of were probably Omega Attack, Our war of the worlds, Qprogue and of course, the freaking Tri-Wars or whatever that name in short form is which is based on the previous one. They were so tedious that they could eat up lots of money for tons of credits and it might be the fact that I did not have time to contribute to such bullshit like them trying to unlock additional stuffs.
Chrono Seeker is probably something like Legend Cross because you can follow the requirements to unlock additional songs. I'm already making closer progress all the way to facing Symmetry and Broken Sword. As of the recent update, for Symmetry, you should play two any Nekomata Master songs in Present phase in any difficulty so that you can unlock all the crystals for it regardless of whichever difficulty you chose. It's the same for Neo Generator Seven but the problem is that the last three boss songs are highly difficult in Hyper as they are in Level 10.

Sound Voltex III First Play

OK, the maintenance took place yesterday at the arcades while the games were still turned on at all times until the knock off time which is sometime at midnight I think. Various bulky components for the game controllers were being replaced with the same components in better working conditions and besides, nobody damages those things in the playful or childish ways which is something nobody cares about. Not to mention, the game machine configuration via Test/Service menu and especially on how the arcade game boots up which is something only technology enthusiasts like us may be interested to take a look at while the arcade pirates who torrent shit like that can go fuck themselves because they don't know what the real technical boot up is like ranging from BIOS screen, OS splash screen and even the technical information of the game startup which may include the status of the game hardware components to see if things are fine or not before proceeding on to the warning screen.
Then, about the game itself. The SDVX Station is kind of improved that you should be able to get more tracks and cards on time without having to go back to the main menu after getting one. Example is that you get a track on specific difficulty and the timer freezes upon doing so. Then, you're back to where-ever you're on. Unfortunately, there were so many songs from the latest SDVX to buy with blocks that I eventually run out of them but at least, I should be able to try out songs from SDVX I and III in the future while skill-analyzing myself.

Net-neutrality in EU

Last time, there was some emergency protest in the US regarding the net neutrality there probably due to the fact that the FCC Chairman turned the response of comments into a middle-finger-like lie. There were also some evidences that he might be working with the US telecoms in social networking and other ways of communication. That may be difficult to decide the real net neutrality at this moment for the US but doing nothing and taking no actions for freedom at times are not the option because evil conquest may happen any time without people's knowledge and that more citizens may end up in some trouble for no reasons. But thankfully, people around the globe surely know what net-neutrality is about and especially for its importance that they are willing to help. Another important thing is the freedom of other countries that are already falling victim for people who don't live there that they may want to help out in a possible way lest their countries they're living in may end up like those.
The concerns for net-neutrality may or may not be exactly the same as the ones in the US when it comes to net-neutrality for EU. There may be fears that the government and the ISPs there may do something to water down the goddamn net-neutrality in the EU but then, it may seem that people need to know deep down on which ones are supporting it, which ones are opposing it.
Of course, there may be some retarded fanboys of the ISPs that are trying to go against net-neutrality. Not to mention that there may be people who are really or acting clueless about it that its supporters including the other parts of the internet may end up disliking them as if they may be told to get lost from making anymore speeches or something.

Windows 10 Technical Preview Fundamentals for IT Pros Jump Start

Unlike the previous Jump Starts I attended so far, this one has no demos whatsoever and posting Feedbacks in the Q&A section might be pointless. At the time, the new OS is still at the technical preview and that they mentioned the features that will be in the next build or something. In the meantime, there may be slides to go through.
Things like Wipe and Load, In-Place Upgrade, Provisioning, Enterprise Mode Site List, Enterprise Site Discovery, etc. are what I can describe about from the Jump Start.

• Wipe and Load: It has been a traditional process regarding of whichever OS the computer still has and the OS you're installing to in the ways of deployment.
• In-Place upgrade: This may be a risky way when combined with deployment and this combination is something I've never done as part of the online education of MVA. The Jump Start surely had mentioned that Windows 7, 8 and 8.1 may support In-Place upgrade to Windows 10. However, what's not supported is the move from standard BIOS to UEFI in which you have to use Wipe and Load method as the way UEFI works technically may be different.
• Provisioning: Regardless of whatever computer model the company has, the computer can still get the same exact OS image and be connected to the same domain. It may be useful for the clients but most of the time, the company prefers having the number of copies of the same exact computer manufacturer and model for work that provisioning may be a rare case.
• Enterprise Mode Site List: Enterprise Mode may be useful for compatibility purposes in which it can displays websites that are previously compatible with IE8 or any other version of IE and this one lists down the enterprise websites that are like that.
• Enterprise Site Discovery: This one tries to search for enterprise sites through some connectivity for collection purposes. Speaking of collection thing, you should be warned that you're collecting data in which there may be concern for privacy or any other kind of security. Think tons of times before using this tool.

Other stuffs mentioned from this Jump Start were the technical overview, security, features and IE for Windows 10 but most of the topics may seem to be standard kinds of topics although there may be some improvements in this upcoming OS to the features already mentioned. As this is still a Technical Preview phase, expect some bugs and the improvements will be implemented in the next preview which is the Consumer Preview that will be coming out sometime next year. Again, like the Technical Preview, there may be the same security controversy in the Consumer Preview in which whatever you do will be keylogged and recorded by Microsoft for customer feedback detection and collection purposes so that they can use that purpose to improve Windows 10 even further. But the good news is that the final version WILL NOT HAVE this controversy! That will look like a reason to use Windows 10 once it is finalized. Other good reasons to come back to other OSes besides Windows 10 are that Unity 8 will take out the privacy violation controversy that you'll be able to use it in future Ubuntu OS versions in the future that come with it.

And they've better not screw this OS up like they already did with Windows 8. Even Windows 8.1 doesn't seem to help a lot in terms of improvements as if those improvements still target towards the tablet users and not the other types of consumers like the desktop and laptop users in which the classic elements are still missing in Windows 8.1. Hopefully, Windows 10 will have everything for all kinds of consumers.

Jolla tablet

Now, this one may look like a good opportunity for people to use this tablet in the future next year. It may be a less expensive alternative to various expensive Android and IOS tablets but I may assume that this is going to cost $200+ in my local country when it arrives. Nobody knows when but it may seem that the arrival may be much later than that.
From this article for comparison, http://www.neowin.net/news/jolla-unveils-affordable-tablet-asks-for-your-contributions-to-make-it-real, the display and battery may be smaller than any other devices compared there and the processor surely puts Ipad Mini 3 to shame. The common thing is that it uses the same resolution and aspect ratio as Ipad series devices so it may look like you're playing Android games on this thing disguised as Ipad games.
Like always, it uses the Sailfish OS that supports Android apps but before the release can happen, there should already be a full support for Android apps or there may be some inexcusable disappointment like OnePlus already did to their customers with some bullshit invitation system that nobody wants to buy their phones like that. Such the price and announcement like these are what we can prove on how well Jolla can do in their jobs although this may look like a secret technical work from them.

Encryption in Whatsapp

Using the engine from TextSecure or something, it seems that Whatsapp has finally planned the higher level of upgraded encryption process although this kind of higher security may mean that in addition to good people using it for privacy protection, there may be cyber-criminals using services like this as well without being detected. But that's not the important point at the present time because the bigger scumbags nowadays are probably the corrupted agencies that have been spying on innocent people like trying to detect the location for criminals that way. The spying is so illegal that those scumbags are pretty much the bigger cyber-criminals claiming things to be legal enough.
Of course, when it comes to safer alternatives like TextSecure or any other Silent Circle products, there may be some other problems. First thing is that not all people know what those alternative services are that they are sticking on to the popular services like Whatsapp which is kind of vulnerable in terms of security until the time Whatsapp has planned the upgraded encryption level which attracts even more users like us. The good reason for this opportunity is that the man behind Whatsapp had already despised the cyber-spying all along that he's come up with the good deeds for us, the good people, not those criminals.
At the time of blogging about this, the encryption is getting effective for Android users and that IOS and Windows Phone users will have to wait even more for the same security to arrive.

USA Freedom Act Update

The dumbed down version of USA Freedom Act has major flaws that extend the spying power and the worse thing is that it may have the elements of the previous laws that failed the last time such as the fact that there may be Bieber Bill, extended spying and the re-authorization of the Patriot Act. Speaking of the second bullshit at stated at http://tumblr.fightforthefuture.org/post/102971136673/usa-freedom-act-a-wolf-in-sheeps-clothing, this is some chance the the fans of that music artist in which I don't give a fuck can take some actions against this dumbed down version of this bill in favor of the real USA Freedom Act.
From the article at this link http://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-apple-google-and-others-are-pushing-for-anti-nsa-spying-law, it appears that the USA Freedom Act might have failed but we don't know if there will be a real USA Freedom Act for the US citizens so that they can be protected in the future. Until then, there won't be another version of this bill in the meantime.

Reflec Beat Groovin' Upper!

The next version is said to be coming in November 20 which is the same day Sound Voltex III will be launched but so far, there's no details about this upcoming revision.
And what am I working on besides having posted various gameplay videos to my YouTube account recently like there's no signs of additional music arrangements of Jubeat Saucer Fulfill and Reflec Beat Groovin' songs if available? The honest thing is that I've been working on some MMD animation ever since last month and I'm already at the facial manipulation phase which is kind of difficult to make things right and my first animation is already that ridiculous like a buggy one that nobody's going to fix it. Since this is my first attempt, I may expect some experienced user to come up with the same goddamn animation because it is much better than mine. It is taking me a long time as a beginner of that tool but the animation will be up in Miscellaneous tab once finished.
So this may prove that I'm not messing around with my studies or personal work but more information will be revealed after this version of Reflec Beat Groovin' is out.

Sound Voltex III Gravity Wars

About two days left before the game's release and the first evidence of this was from the E-Amusement App on the IOS and Android. The long-awaited sequel to Sound Voltex II is bound to arrive after like more than a year. The release date for Sound Voltex II was in June last year and many new songs have been added since then.
The gameplay in this sequel may have the laser beams go off track as well as the various camera adjustments like zooming in and out and even causing the whole thing to shake when zipping through the laser beam horizontally to the left or right. The trickier thing is that the laser beams can start in any position besides end in any position too so you may need to assign the arrow-shaped pointer or whatever that thing is to where those beams start. How did those people mimic this new gameplay while the game was still in development? The only official revealing so far is the game trailer and the game's official site.
OK, I still have some remaining Lincle, Tricoro and Pendual songs to deal with that I didn't have much focus on Sound Voltex as the main game in terms of my own goals but it may seem that I had attempted even more Skill Analyzer courses. Needless to say, any song with pop idol concert-like features or perhaps the Denpa-like features is trying to confuse the hell out of me and especially for certain songs notecharted by PHQUASE who is some person we cannot forgive. Speaking of that notecharter, he had also made a song for Beatmania IIDX starting with Spada as well as made some song for Reflec Beat as well. You may bet that those songs in other games by him may be as unforgivable as the ones in Sound Voltex as well but the ones I find unforgivingly difficult in Beatmania IIDX will be the ones made by L.E.D.

Microsoft Movie Creator for Windows Phone and Windows 8

Both Windows Phone and Windows 8 are already struggling with the amount of good apps out there in comparison to IOS and Android which already have their own movie maker apps. Desktop apps like Windows Live Movie Maker and third-party ones don't count as we're talking about the Modern UI ones in which Windows Phone is heavily struggling with. What about the photo enhancement app for Windows Phone? I may assume that Windows 8 already has one with some third party apps which may be Photoshop Express or any other app that does the photo editing and enhancement as seen in the Windows App Store.
The worse thing is that there isn't any video editing app that isn't free entirely but this one surely arrives too late, leaving Windows Phone itself to be crippled due to lack of certain apps and games. Perhaps, it may be one of the on-going problems with Windows Phone as of today but we're not sure if the upcoming Windows 10 is going to cause additional good reasons to have more of those apps. As of Technical Preview days, nobody knows what the smartphone version of Windows 10 looks like.
There may be Themes for the videos in Movie Creator which may look like some sort of templates similar to the ones in third-party video editing programs and that feature is already part of Xbox One Upload Studio. I don't know if Playstation 4 has its own video editor app but editing a video like that on a home console is kind of awkward compared to using the portable touch screen devices for video editing which may have some ease. Perhaps, even the Playstation Vita should have its own video editor and photo enhancement apps as well as they can be comfortable in media editing thanks to the touch screen.

'Dirtbox' device used in planes to spy on cell phones

Since 2k7, the flight used to do the spying had been on-going on the regular basis perhaps to detect the entire place of US for criminals. The 'Dirtbox' device poses as the fake cell phone tower similar to other cell phone towers that can be used to reveal the locations of the normal users and criminals. These devices have been used in Cessna aircrafts that operatre from five metropolitan airports around the city. But the downside is that it has the ability to disrupt phone calls which may be an unexpectedly bad idea for people being involved in the accidents like their vehicle is knocked against by another vehicle in which they are seriously hurt for example. And even then , this kind of spying has sparked another concern for the US citizens who want proper privacy.

However, there may be those who don't give a fuck about being spied in multiple ways and that they should as well know how serious the violation of privacy is before trying to stop those who are concerned about privacy violation.

Lync to be rebranded as Skype for Business

Perhaps, Skype may sound like a more popular name that Microsoft decides to rebrand Lync as Skype for Business. It was the same story for merging parts of Windows Live Messenger into Skype that is already popular and running among the consumers, knowing that Skype is now with Microsoft. The MSN services are still intact as of today though.
But how what about Lync when it comes to Skype for Business? Well, Microsoft has promised not to mess with Lync when it comes to this new service as if they're trying to retain every element of Lync in the new Skype for business users. Perhaps, the communication may be better with Skype for everyone including business users but when it comes to Lync in which various enterprises are still using, it seems that Skype for Business will have the combined elements of Skype and Lync together.

US Net Neutrality update - Internet to be classified as utility

Netflix CEO being arrogant, someone from AT&T said? Perhaps, AT&T and Verizon were like the recent fat liars or some sort that they had their guts to oppose the fuck out of the US Net Neutrality with the stupid amount of cyber-spying that has been on-going for days. It's one big global news about things being done right this time for the US people. Many people around the globe including us surely know this. The US ISPs must make sure that the service is available to civilians. Not to mention that service blockage or throttling is NOT allowed! This makes internet open and fair to the US and that in the future, the similar rules of fairness should apply to other countries as well.
However, the big US ISPs are still the US civilians' bigger enemies when it comes to proper Net Neutrality but with the help of US president, there will be some hopes for the real Net Neutrality to come. YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKcjQPVwfDk.

De-registration from iMessage

In case you're switching from IOS device to Android or Windows Phone, Apple has implemented the de-registration feature for iMessage that allows you to de-register from that service as the de-registration feature had been plagued back then like there was no way you can de-register from there and that your messages were still left intact like the plagued trash Apple might or might not know.
But each device may have its own phone number so you will need to keep your personal profile and contact information updated on every services and devices you own.

Android and IOS having lack of openness?

Android may be open-source but the true open-source is likely to be Cyangenmod itself. IOS may be closed-source although it is based on Unix and it's the same story for Mac OSX series OSes. The real reason on why Mozilla slams the hell out of Android and IOS is probably the favor of users' privacy and that Apple and Google are slammed by Mozilla over irresponsible business behavior when it comes to cyber-security. It may turn out that the encryption feature in IOS may be a lie or something but the real controversy as we have discovered is that Mac OSX Yosemite has features that invade your privacy. It's as shameful as Unity 7 for Ubuntu today but there's a promise from Canonical that Unity 8 will REMOVE the CONTROVERSY they had caused. Bravos to Canonical for this and hopefully, Unity 8 will be part of Ubuntu Touch and TV in addition to future standard Ubuntu releases.
Today with Firefox, it seems that Mozilla has been questioning you on what technical concern do you have today when using it like, are you concerned about privacy, for instance. Yes, we may be concerned about privacy so we answer things to Mozilla about it and install a bunch of extensions in our Firefox browser and fall under User Privacy Concern category.
Firefox OS is going to change the hell out of everything? Who knows? There's also Ubuntu Touch which is also under development at the time. But in the meantime, you can obviously go Linux-ing or even Cyangenmod OS for the sake of OS security. If you're an Ubuntu user like me, ditch Unity 7 completely.
But bear in mind that I still have stuffs to work on personally on the Windows OS besides Ubuntu as the similar software library for Linux surely lacks whatever we need.

Massive shutdown on more than 400 Darknet websites

Did the ones behind Tor make a Disclaimer, Terms & Conditions and other policies against illegal activities besides the ones that make things private? And that's what the cyber-criminals get for using this service for illegal activities and services of theirs! Their websites are shut down for good and they are being arrested for that and of course, many of the agencies have already known Tor and criticized it, saying that it has been used by cyber-criminals and other types of bad guys. It is true that even cyber-criminals are using this private network in addition to the good civilians like us. As if Microsoft's warning to us not to use this web browser is going to backfire in the future, the war between the spying agencies and Tor will still be on-going. There may be Blackphone by Silent Circle but thankfully, it doesn't have so much of momentum as being too popular may end up like Tor one day.
The original creators of Tor, US Naval Research Laboratory, must have made this for like private military protection against the enemies or something but then, it shouldn't have gone from military technology to a consumer-friendly one!

Game Production Basics Jump Start

This Jump Start had basic talks about the game development tools in multiple categories as well as the gaming business. It had things like how you would plan out the DLCs, In-App Purchases as well as other addition you would like to add as the update patch to your game. There are some game engine tools that enable you to develop games for the mobile devices and even game consoles but you will need the licenses and the full version of those tools for that as the free versions give you the opportunity to make games for the standard platforms which are mostly Windows computers.
For Windows Phone series and even Windows tablet version, you may need Visual Studio along with some plugins that will allow you to publish your game to the Windows Store. In fact, it takes you tons of step to do so similar to how you will do for Google Play and even App Store.
For game assets, it shouldn't be a problem in planning out your own graphics, gameplay concepts and even the music but for sound effects, it may seem to be a problem for me as I've been using the sound effects from external source and I already specified the credits for their usage somewhere in my creations.
Next is the Business Models in which you have to plan out the target audience, the contents of the game that should be suitable for whichever audience and that the contents you put in the game should be decent enough. Also, you have to plan out the pricing for the DLC and In-App Purchases in the fair way so that people should be able to safely buy things for whatever mobile games they're playing.
There may be games that have their ends, there may be games that have no end whatsoever. The games that have their ends may consist of multiple story paths, multiple character endings, a run that ends after few stages despite having so many contents to choose from, etc. You may want to go for those kinds of games even more but only if they can be completed that you will be able to see the game ending and that they are not unfairly difficult. Speaking of unfair difficulty, there are already endless casual games that are already having tons of highly difficult levels. You probably need a bunch of boosts to complete those levels which cost some fucking money in the first place that you should spend your money on something else like other games, DLCs, etc. In fact, for those kinds of games, it will take you tons of trial and error to get through those unfair levels and eventually, you will give up on those kinds of casual games as they're no longer fun at further levels. The worse thing is that there have been hundreds of levels added on a regular basis as well as other sets of levels that take place in different location with their exclusive gameplay features.
Lastly, there was a satisfaction for me from this Jump Start like they had showed the Construct 2 demo of a 2D shooter in action where you shoot stuffs like in an actual shmup game. If that demo is going to be a reason that I'll be using Construct 2, perhaps, I'll need to find such kinds of tutorials like that before even attempting to make one with that tool. It may be comparable to Game Maker but other tools can be really difficult to use as they still involve tons of coding. You don't need to code in Construct 2 and Game Maker, of course.
The interface for Game Maker Studio is kind of visually weird when I saw this during the Jump Start. The icons, buttons and even the tabs were classic looking but the only nice thing so far is the title bar. Combined with that kind of color scheme, it is somewhat useful for game developers like us but having classic interface elements visually is kind of weird in my opinion. The better thing today for Game Maker Studio free edition is that you should be able to use it like you use the previous versions of Game Maker Lite as if various limitations are removed according to some official news from Yoyo Games I had already seen.

Microsoft Office made free for mobile devices

Having Office 365 subscription for this is a big no-no for the users but it may seem that we have been using Microsoft Office on the desktop/laptop which still looks as standard as ever for that device as if it is still touch unfriendly on the tablet devices as there are like too many buttons to pick from no matter how large the spacing and interface can be. It was like a disaster for the tablet users back then when it comes to Office 2k13 and 365 but now, it looks like Microsoft is trying to improve Microsoft Office Online and Mobile versions so that they can be suited for mobile devices. Also, the mobile version is highly limited without Office 365 subscription and having to buy the subscription as the in-app purchase is kind of bullshit!
At least, Microsoft has done things right this time by having all the features available for use in the free version of Microsoft Office for mobile devices but it's still not the same for business users as they will still be required to use the Office 365 subscription. Not to mention that they have to be using Onedrive and Dropbox Business Editions which give them additional features. Hell, there's also the Office support for Dropbox in which you can edit the documents stored in your Dropbox storage online through Office Online similar to what you can do in Onedrive although Dropbox is still the best one to use in everyone's opinion.
The Iphone version was already out last year with the Ipad version out this year. In the future, there will be new Android and Windows touch versions as well as the new Microsoft Office for standard computers that will be coming in as well although for Windows 10 devices, we don't know how Microsoft Office will switch in between modes automatically like between Touch and Standard Modes, that is. The Touch mode should bring you to the Modern UI version when the device is in tablet mode while the Standard mode should bring you to the standard desktop version when the device is in laptop mode. Perhaps, the switching behavior is somewhat based on how web browsers do for Windows 8 devices but I expect it to be automatic in software when you switch in between two modes.

Secure Messaging Scorecard

Similar to the scorecard for the online services, this one is for the apps used in mobile devices. So far, it may seem that many of the mobile apps we know of have been insecure but iMessage being more secure? If Apple has everything green on that scorecard for their iMessage, that will look like they've done a greater job, putting its rivals to shame that some kind of product flame war will eventually start or something. But that's not the only part of the product competition, is it? There will be better encryption system for IOS 8 and Android 5.0 so that the only wailing babies in terms of security competition will be the ones trying to crack down even the stronger encryption planned by Apple and Google. Also, we still can know the problem about smartphone bending that has been on-going on Iphone 6 and Iphone 6 Plus. If that's the case, you may have to buy other IOS devices that support the upgrade to IOS 8 to gain this kind of security level.

Other alternatives surely are highly secure but then, who else knows about them and uses them besides you? If they can make use of your existing contacts on your local device and social networking accounts and that you can use those apps to have a contact with them without requiring any invitation or even your friend to download those apps or whatever, then it can be a proper reason to use those apps although the security is on your side only if they are not using those apps when you do the phone call, messaging or even chat.

I do have Orbot on my Android and it's starting to get handy when it  comes to surfing the net on that thing with Orbot enabled as it uses its own proxy for net surfing that leads to Tor technology. You can use other apps while online like there shouldn't be a problem but when it comes to net surfing, you will need Orbot up and running. Nowadays, the Tor technology is on life support and that I may have to find the complete alternative to this for mobile devices. There's already one so far for the computers which may be Aviator.

Google should change mission statement?

So, where did the "Don't do evil" slogan come from? Was that a fake slogan come up by some organization of freedom? Did any other tech giant come up with that slogan or some sort? Or maybe Google came up with it themselves before there is a proper mission statement? It doesn't matter, many people and organizations might have claimed that Google is already doing some bad things.
Firstly, the privacy invasion ever since a few years ago that Microsoft was bashing on them because of that although the Google fanboys were defending Google with a couple of trolls to be launched at Microsoft for that attack but obviously, it was until last year where everyone realized that Google was really doing wrong and we don't know if Google had admitted to this invasion.
Second, some individual claim from some man indicated that Google was doing things worse in invading people's privacy but then, it may seem that there may be other agencies even worse than that this year as if *BI is pretty much planning to defeat the new encryption system Google and Apple are implementing for their mobile OS as well as the one Microsoft implemented for their Outlook and Onedrive by simply learning how to hack and temper with people's computers they take for cyber-criminals. You can be on the look out for that stupidity but it's already a news after all. Not to mention that the this new privacy violation plan affects the entire globe and even if you have Tor, you're still spied.
Third, the YouTube content ID system that was changed in a screwed up way that annoyed the hell out of the users as well as the worthless Scroogle Plus in which nobody uses and everybody hates.
Sure, the Android 5.0 and Gmail encryptions are the right things Google is planning but we don't know if this is going to take effect. Even if it does quickly, there may be chances that even the new encryption is not going to help thanks to some wailing-babies acting like brave business people and not wanting real encryption in the first place. They also have their guts to troll on this real encryption like little kids saying that it is for criminals to use or something. Sure, there may be fanboys of those spying agencies that establish those kinds of troll comments on various websites but sooner or later, those comments are kind of pointless anyway.
Lastly, the change of the mission statement should be a condition that Google does things good again but it should also mean that various controversies should be GONE completely so that more people will use Google services in the future.

Magnetic keyboard for Jolla

It's kind of rare to see Jolla devices nowadays and the Sailfish OS for Android devices is still under improvement for the sake of getting it as the alternative for Android users. Also, Nokia as we know it was already acquired by Microsoft and the future Lumia phones will be Microsoft branded that may cause confusion among the customers at first.
This physical keyboard is more of an accessory for the Jolla phones that can be attached and detached. Also, it has the ability to glow in illumination at night time for suitable typing in the dark.

Smart TV Security Controversy

In fact, the smartwatches and Internet of Things will be the next victims of illegal data collection for good people like us! So everything you've done even with other indecent stuffs will be collected and transmitted to the third-party. Even if you've disabled some data collection options, the data collection thing is still intact as if the companies are betraying everyone! Had LG even come up with the new firmware that prevented that controversy from happening?
And of course, we don't know what brand and model this owner has owned although there may be serious concerns about illegal data collection that has been on-going. This link as brought to us by Neowin should have you to find out: http://www.brennancenter.org/analysis/im-terrified-my-new-tv-why-im-scared-turn-thing.
This is what that owner has mentioned everything about and for smartwatches and Internet of Things, it may be true that even those devices will be the next victims by the time they are announced. Of course, there may be bunches of ARMED CRYING ASSHOLES who want the encryption gone completely in the new IOS 8 and Android 5.0! TALK ABOUT ILLEGAL-SPYING FANS WORKING THERE AGAINST US AND TECH GIANTS! Of course, for Android 5.0, we don't know if the TVs, smartwatches and Internet of Things devices running it will be considered encrypted for privacy protection. Otherwise, be better off with standard house furniture, standard TVs and standard watches that nobody will know unless you want to expand the spy-fest like a corrupted technical user that you may end up betraying everyone.

Tor support for Facebook

Great, now the protection of privacy with Tor may turn out to be a lie when it comes to Tor support for Facebook. The first thing is that Tor is no longer secure that various agencies and governments are already doing something to tackle the hell out of this service due to the controversial fact that even the cyber-criminals are using this tool for illegal activities in addition to good people like us using it for privacy purposes. Second thing is that Facebook is planning to have Tor support for it but we don't know if we can trust this kind of announcement as if we can think that this may be a lie. Adding Tor support for Facebook like that is like they're ensuring that cyber-criminals using Tor can be more easily tracked through various Facebook accounts. Not to mention that they may be extending the power of spying and lies with this excuse.
In fact, if you have known the previous news on Neowin in which I have been blogging about based on the discovery, you should have already heeded Microsoft's warning that Tor is no longer safe to use although I don't know if the new version has improved security or not that will make Microsoft approve the true use of it. Better still, use the freaking Aviator as the alternative.
