App in the UK that tracks children's phone use?

This unknown new app as stated as a news in Neowin is said to be tracking children's phone use. It may be useful to see what indecent things they have done on the phone whether it's theirs or maybe their parents and especially when they are using the phones or tablets for hours straight. However, the indecent thing about the app is the privacy violation we already know of ever since two years ago and this is some kind of the app people in UK SHOULD AVOID! If the device is the parent's one that is used by his/her children, why can't the parent inspect the goddamn device in a standard way? WHY USE THAT APP that simplifies that inspection?
What about home computers that are used by multiple users? What about the game consoles and other stuffs? Laziness is kind of fine but I think that it should be the proper time that YOU CHECK EVERYTHING for children's usage to see if anything is CHANGED. How about you monitor the goddamn home like it's a freaking extraordinary home surveillance camera you're using while you're at work? Do you really want to watch them non-stop while you're away?
BETTER STILL, if that mobile device is yours whether you're a parent or whatever, that mobile device is 100% personal and in fact, you should stick to checking it for any undesirable changes done by the children in a traditional way.
You know, there's Parental Control feature that can be handy for whatever device you have for family use but if your entire family is at an adult age, that feature may be kind of pointless because most of home devices belong to one specific owner. In fact, there can be a home surveillance camera which may look kind of simple to see what the children are doing whether they are guests or maybe the family members of yours and especialy that that camera is cloud connected. That may be something to install in a living room but not the bedroom as some of the rooms may need to be used as changing room as well. That should also be something to keep track of, not that bullshit mobile app.

Samsung Smart TV - Privacy violation and ads in third-party apps and videos

The truth for Samsung is that they are taking privacy very seriously for customers when it comes to Smart TVs but what about the Android services and apps they have made? The recent concern for the customers was that the privacy was compromised when watching something on Samsung Smart TV which wasn't the first time things happened like that. The previous time was that LG Smart TVs did the same privacy violation stuffs and that LG was aware of the issue. It's the same for Samsung in which there will be a patch that will fix the privacy violation issues as well as the annoyance of the ad-appearances in every third-party apps and videos.
So, did they screw up or what before they got aware of these issues? And even then, there was another previous news indicating that regardless of the brands, the Smart TVs are eyeing on you and your actions and I don't know if this issue is completely fixed for LG and Samsung Smart TVs. The more sensitive ones are probably the Android-based Smart TVs and Set Top Boxes as we still can know that there are some remaining security flaws out there.

US tech giants demanded for source code by China

It may be good that people including us know what the Great Firewall of China is in general which may affect the way people in China use technology and especially for the fact that certain US-made online services like Facebook, Twitter, etc. are censored again in China in favor of the Chinese equivalents like Baidu, Weibo, Sina and so on. However, despite on how great the national firewall is, there are still technical flaws in terms of cybersecurity as if this kind of cyber-war is still going on like two nations spying on each other in addition to spying on their people. Either way, it's a bad thing and that's not the proper way to detect bad guys like that although there are already groups of baddies we know of in general.
What will piss the US tech giants off is that they were told to surrender the source codes like what happened to them the last time. This is kind of wrong and bullshit although serious piracy is a serious problem in China and especially for the huge amount of unoriginal products made there that are plagued with bugs and inferior-ass features. Sure, people around the globe are already worried about their privacy being compromised by the spying agencies and various companies we know of that better alternatives may be the reasons to keep themselves safe.

25Mbps in US is the new minimum speed for broadband

While they are preparing for the battle for net neutrality in the US, it seems that FCC has made a good progress in increasing the broadband standard to 25Mbps as the minimum speed. This is useful for the customers to surf the net even faster than before and especially for the business companies that can operate online quite faster as well with lesser lags. Of course, it may made the bad ISPs in the US cry out like a bunch of kids, indicating that this kind of bandwidth is seriously more expensive than ever and that it can attract even more hoggers out there in which tons of technical packets are hogged and  transferred more quicker and non-stop in such a crazier way than before. What will those ISPs do, huh? Charge people for browsing at such a high speed non-stop at the stupidly high price? Or maybe slow down the connection speed and break the new prototype rules FCC had recently made?
OK, we have until sometime next month before the net neutrality declaration in the US begins and we don't know what kind of evil things will the US ISPs do to their customers. There were already some trusts about classifying internet under Title II thingy which is one of the important steps of freedom for net neutrality to make things much fair. That will prove on how grown-up the ones working under Team Internet are.
Speaking of Team Internet, there are tons of companies willing to support the real net neutrality but the Team Cable is likely to be the enemy team that consists of various bad ISPs and their connections, so the battle is still going that people in the US have to do something to protect it.

Beatmania IIDX Gameplay report - January 27th

Guess that I had attempted all Level 8 Pendual songs but this is not over yet as there may be additional songs coming in to IIDX Pendual in the future and the Power of Nature and Qpronicle Chord events are still on-going.
For Qpronicle Chord, it has gone to second phase with additional stuffs but then, trying to grind on this is a tedious thing like it may be something like Lincle Kingdom event again. Qprogue and its DX counterpart are kind of worse as you can tell but all of IIDX Spada event songs are already in the game folder by the time IIDX Pendual came out. Also, there may be additional songs by Sound Holic that might have already come out recently and all you have to do is to play the game the amount of times to unlock those songs.
Other good stuff is that I had recently Easy-Assist-Cleared another Level 10 song in IIDX in Hyper. I still had problems in certain patterns of V but when going for Easy-Clear for real as the next step, things are going to be much harder than they look. The previous ones were Close The World and Ancient Scapes but I can't technically prove that to anyone since Spada Leggendaria songs are still Paseli exclusive.

Windows 10 Live Event

This one's a great event despite the previous controversy I blogged about for Windows 10 the last time but rest assured, the keylogging thingy will be gone in the final version. After this event, there may be the next build released to the public next week, followed by the mobile version next month in prototype form of course.
Features such as Continuum which is almost automatic when switching between tablet and laptop mode, Cortana, Universal App just like Android and IOS, new web browser that looks like Chrome, Cross Play between Xbox One and Windows 10 which is similar to PS4 X PS Vita via Remote Play although I don't know how will that work in addition to using Windows 10 on PC, tablets and phones for playing Xbox One games remotely, Windows 10 on mobile devices, Hololens and Holo-Studios and so on, are coming in the Windows 10 time frame.
Good thing is that Windows 10 will be a free upgrade for Windows 7, 8.1 and Phone 8.1 users although I don't know if I will be ready for that in the future like upgrading from OEM Windows 7 Home Premium that came with my computer that I have to Windows 10 for instance. Next thing is that the UI is starting to look and behave like the Android UI like there are certain buttons to trigger, the notifications and other stuffs. For notification bar, it may have superceded the one on Android in which each notification has additional actions for you to choose from. Next is Office for Windows 10, Android and IOS which has the ribbon UI in the different form for smartphones but the arrangement of ribbon UI is the same for tablets. Even the new mail app for Windows 10 may happen to have the ribbon UI or something. Perhaps, it's the Outlook app that I'm talking about since it has both the mail and calendar apps. There's also the Hololens which is super-delusional, I'm telling you. You can see cool fictional things to interact with when you have the Hololens on but the others can't. Also, it takes in reality, not virtual reality so call this the AR kind of technology. You can integrate your Holo-Studios creation to the 3D Printer like de-fictionalizing your creation with that. There's the Surface Hub which may look like the Microsoft Smart TV for business use. I don't know if there will be the consumer purpose for that thing. Next, the Cross Play feature between Xbox One and Windows 10 similar to the one for Playstation 4 and Vita. Playing Xbox One games remotely on Windows 10 machines is the first step and especially that you can encounter the players who are playing the other versions of the same game. It's a shameful challenge like trying to play Xbox One or Playstation 4 games remotely on the phones or tablets as if you will need the other kind of USB connection and the controller hooked up to those mobile devices running the companion apps. Like the Playstation 4 companion app where you socialize on stuffs, this is the same for Xbox One. Also, like the Playstation 4, you can video capture stuffs easily without having to buy the external video capture device. Best of all, you can do the same for Windows 10 although there are already tons of video capture programs on PC like Bandicam for example. There's also the video capturing stuff from Steam which is the answer to Twitch.tv. Lastly, the Cortana feature which was previously in Windows Phone 8.1. It's going to be extended to Windows 10 platforms and I'm sure that even the Xbox One will have that as well.
Gaming-wise, there's going to be DirectX 12 which I already mentioned in the previous blog posts, that will be coming to Windows 10 and Xbox One for improvements. Maybe it's to get Xbox One on par with its rival but still, product wars can make us pathetic when we have become adults. Regardless of platforms or product brands, arcade gaming is still an important thing for me.
You know what pissed me off during the event? It's the connectivity interruption during the live stream and unlike MVA Jump Start or perhaps YouTube live stream, this one's a different media player service and it doesn't have various qualities to choose from. It's also sort of like some fags at home were trying to stop me from going further in nighttime events like this like they're trying to take those for trash or something.

Whatsapp Plus banned by Whatsapp

Whatsapp Plus is said to be the third-party extension to the original Whatsapp but the extension has some flaws according to Whatsapp themselves indicating the privacy concerns for using that. What Whatsapp does is to ban the users of Whatsapp Plus perhaps for privacy safety reasons or something. Sure, there might be encryption feature in Whatsapp recently like what iMessage and FaceTime were already having the same security level but then, it looked like Whatsapp Plus has been used by millions of customers and trying to ban them all for that reason is a difficult thing.
