Twitter banned in Turkey

OK, the internet freedom already ended last time in Turkey with its own TPP-like bill that already passed recently. Revival of the freedom in Turkey is not going to be an easy thing anyway but there are already workarounds to the cyber-censorship like that as if even the non-Turkish people can use them. So the non-Turkish people who are going to use those tools for privacy protection are likely to be Americans, Europeans and people in some parts of Asia whose privacy is invaded.
Tor is one of these tools for privacy protections but the downsides are that some of the addons do too much in privacy protections as if they block most of the functional contents on the popular websites you want to browse with that web browser and the tool is being used by bad guys in addition to good guys. It may be a problem trying to capture bad guys like that when Tor is like protecting everyone. Not to mention that the users in Turkey are already using it to access Twitter as it was recently banned in a reasonless way but even then, it is one of the services affected by the spying agencies that their users in the western regions have been spied. The workaround for Turkey users using Twitter is with the SMS assigned by Twitter but the safest way will be to use the SMS software provided by third-party company on Cyangenmod for various Android devices that support that custom OS. Another workaround will be to use Google DNS but forget about it as Google services are also affected by those spying agencies as well.
Next is OkayFreedomVPN which is the VPN service I've never seen before until today. You can get the free one which is up to 1GB which may be a problem if you're not using paid subscription. It should be useful for users around the globe perhaps for privacy protection purposes.
We don't know what is the true fucking reason for banning Twitter like that but back in 2010, Youtube was banned in Turkey due to some offensive materials which might be the acceptable reason or something but back then, that was some kind of news we never cared about.

DirectX 12 for PC, Xbox One and mobile

At GDC in San Francisco, Microsoft had revealed the DirectX 12 technology for their platforms ranging from PCs, Windows Phones and even Xbox One. Now, how can Xbox One and Windows Phones get the DirectX upgrade when there's some different technical behavior of the Windows Kernel? It is said that there will be performance boost with DirectX 12 but then, it can be backported to Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 when possible to make them even faster.
Intel, AMD, Quadcomm, etc. are developing their new technology that will support DirectX 12 entirely by hardware. The ones today are still using DirectX 10 or 11 but I suggest playing games on the computers with DirectX 11 powered video cards for better performance.
With DirectX 12, the Xbox One will have better features for games and the PC games using DirectX 12 will be able to get the latest generation console level.
For NVIDIA, they have GeForce Titan Black in which you're going to buy that video card in the future for your desktop computer in case of superior future gaming or some hardware problem with your current video card that you may want to replace it.

Maimai Green Plus

Man, I bet that the game must be way too popular that it has been crowded with people playing it as the group but it may still be possible to take turns provided that you have the capability to play it. For the Plus version of this sequel, you get additional enhancements to the gameplay as well as additional ways of sliding on the screen. Also, there are more of the songs that we may like and especially for more Sega X Taito collaboration and Sega X Namco collaboration. Speaking of Sega X Namco collaboration, it is not the first time they have done for this game. The previous one was for Project Diva series though. Maybe I should try to go back to PDA and Bemani games or something but no, I have to play this besides those games.

Facebook security director joins Coinbase

Bitcoin may seem to be in financial trouble due to the bankruptcy of MtGox but it may seem that the other exchange, Coinbase is like taking over the service for international regions. Also, Facebook security director has decided to join Coinbase with the security for Bitcoin and Coinbase as Bitcoin back then was criticized for the lack of security which was already the target for those bad spying agencies in which the service was already attacked. Maybe the use of the service was illegal or something, like it might be used by pirates besides the normal people or maybe there was some technical chaos going on with the service?
And that Coinbase has better secure themselves from even the spying agencies or there won't be any worthy reason to use the Bitcoin service for sure.

Whatsapp's purchase by Facebook causes the loss of privacy

Wow, what the fuck was Facebook thinking like that? Last time, there may be a new feature that tracks your mouse input or whatever on Facebook website and we didn't know if there was a way to turn that off. Now, it looks like Whatsapp and their customers are worried about the loss of privacy in their conversation if the company is bought by Facebook. Also, recently, Whatsapp had the plans to encrypt their service with better security than ever but things are likely to backfire when the company is going to be purchased by Facebook. Based on the previous news about Whatsapp, perhaps, Microsoft can buy Whatsapp for the sake of planned privacy protection extension but what is the point when Microsoft already has Skype. What are people going to use Whatsapp by then?

Huawei's plans for dual-boot smartphone

At this year's CES, it seems that Huawei wanted to transition from ODM to OEM company. They have been known for producing their Android devices and now, it also seems that they are planning to release the dual-boot smartphone that will dual-boot both Windows Phone and Android. It will be available in the second quarter of this year in the US but the carriers and pricing are not confirmed yet.
We don't know if the smartphone dual-boot will be true or not in the future as Google might have some guts to stop this kind of plan of dual-boot from happening and especially when Asus is already planning to release their own tablet device that will dual-boot both Android and Windows.

Gameplay Report at Bugis Virtualand - March 14

Man, I bet that Level 11 is like the highest level I can make past as Level 12 onwards is already that difficult. Sure, I already made past one of Level 12 songs through Skill Analyzer Level 4 but I still failed the Level 4 sets.
Sound Voltex aside, I also made some minor improvements in SHODAN in Beatmania IIDX. Also, between March 10-11, I also managed to unlock some song by simply playing one of DJ Noriken's songs. I tried the same for DJ Genki's songs but I failed. Maybe next time, I'll try to unlock Close The World but I don't know if I'm gonna clear those Level 8-9 songs or not.
Not to mention that the on-going events were already over by the time I'm in this vacation such as the Cafe De Tran, Tri-Wars and so forth so the game of Beatmania IIDX ended after the QPrologue event and there must be some solution to break the rock on the left next to the enemy holding the song.
