Is #DonaldTrump a rapist?

Is #DonaldTrump a rapist? On the surface it appears he could be. What we need is more women to come forward. So, spread this far and wide. Let them know it's safe to leave the shadows. http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/10619944

I'm not sure how many of these updates or features I will use going forward.

I'm not sure how many of these updates or features I will use going forward. Maybe some Edge browser extensions, but even then, I'm not a huge extension user in Chrome, so I can't imagine why I'd use them in Edge. Cortana ... I know why Microsoft is betting on it's AI assistant, but will I use it? Well, I don't use Google Now very much on Android so I can't imagine I'd use Cortana (which I also have on Android) much, either. Especially on desktop. While I have enjoyed Windows10 so far, I'm not sure I will continue to do so if Microsoft keeps betting on Cortana. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2016/07/31/windows-10-anniversary-update-10-best-features/

SwiftKey is a perfect example of the risks inherent in syncing to the web.

SwiftKey is a perfect example of the risks inherent in syncing to the web. While there are many benefits, such as "learning," the risk that your private information, or contacts, becoming public outweighs any positives, in my opinion. Are you nervous about every app, every service, wanting to sync all your information to their servers? http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/swiftkey-data-leak/

Just spreading the news.

Just spreading the news. This Kingston "Order" is a "family" of pedophiles and rapists. Daniel Kingston, at one point, couldn't even name the thirteen children he had with one of his fourteen wives. Could he be expected to name over 200? Next time you're harping on #ISIS or the #Taliban for their deplorable practices regarding wives and pedophilia remember it's happening in your own backyard, too. #Mormon #FDLS http://www.kingstonclan.com/

Queen! Originally shared by Sean Cowen Hungarian Rhapsody: Queen Live in Budapest 27 July 1986, Queen became the first western act since Louis Armstrong in 1964 to perform in Easton Europe when they played at Budapest's Nepstadion, Hungary, and the gig was filmed and released as 'Queen Magic in Budapest'. The Magic Tour was the biggest and final ever tour by the British rock band Queen with their lead singer Freddie Mercury and their bassist John Deacon. which took place in 1986. The band would not tour again until 19 years later, when the Queen + Paul Rodgers Tour began in 2005, after the death of Freddie Mercury on 24 November 1991, and the retirement of John Deacon in 1997. The Magic Tour took in 26 dates around Europe's stadiums, in support of their latest album A Kind of Magic . In 1987, Mercury was diagnosed with AIDS and the band together made the decision to stop touring, making the concert at Knebworth on 9 August 1986 the last time ever the four members of Qu

There's a guy I went to high school with who's been in prison since 1993 for driving his friends to buy pot. The "friends" ended up killing the dealer and stealing his stuff. They pled out and served 5ish years while the guy I went to high school will never see freedom because he dared to claim he wasn't a killer.

I haven't seen any "news" about the DNC banning the Stars-and-Stripes, but then again, I don't go to wackado websites that spawn or spread misleading information.

Spoiler Alert!

Spoiler Alert! I disagree with this wholeheartedly. Eleven, "El," is more fleshed out than any of the other kids in this story aside from, maybe, Nancy. And while I'm not entirely happy with how El met her fate at the end of the series, what happened needed to happen. What annoyed me more was how quickly it seemed the rest of the kids got over her departure. Maybe it's the whimsical nature of children's emotions and memories, but I just couldn't grasp how quickly it all seemed to blow over. Not only for them, but for Wynona Ryder's family, as well.  http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2016/07/stranger-things-netflix/491681/?utm_source=atlgp

I haven't used #MicrosoftWord in years, having eschewed the program for #LibreOffice and #GoogleDocs.

I haven't used #MicrosoftWord in years, having eschewed the program for #LibreOffice and #GoogleDocs. But I do use #Windows10, #OneNote and #Sway, and have enjoyed then all immensely. In fact, and I've not been shy about saying so, I believe Microsoft has been on the right path ever since Steve Ballmer left the company. In fact, I would have considered a Windows Phone had my carrier carried flagship devices from Microsoft. Now it seems Microsoft has turned some of their magic on Word, bringing research straight to the word processor alleviating the need to leave the program and opening a browser. As I've already mentioned, I don't really use Word, but I do use Google Docs and therefore know Docs has a built in research feature, as well. I'm not sure how the two compare, but I have to assume they're similar functions. http://www.theverge.com/2016/7/26/12283814/microsoft-word-researcher-editor-features

I posted a TPM story the other day about Trump's close relationship with Vladimir Putin. About how he's (Trump) financially tied to Russian interests and a pro Putin stooge is running the GOP contender's campaign. In fact, Manafort is about the only person Trump hasn't fired in the past year. What if Trump is the Manchurian candidate? What if his campaign started as a giant troll of the American political system but became a proxy of Putin's interests? Trump does seem to support all of Putin's foreign policy and can't seem to find a negative thing to say about the Russian leader. Would today's Trump supporters even care? http://www.npr.org/2016/07/25/487356470/why-would-vladimir-putin-want-to-leak-the-dnc-emails

As previously surmised, Google's new messaging apps will not replace Hangouts.

As previously surmised, Google's new messaging apps will not replace Hangouts. At least per this most recent claim. Of course, I think we heard recently that Allo and Duo would be mobile-centric while Hangouts became tailored for browser. In reality, we won't know until the new apps are made available and then 12 months later when Google decides the fate of their messaging apps. Note: I'm being facetious with the "12 months." We all know Google loves pulling the plug on popular apps, even when they're young. http://www.androidheadlines.com/2016/07/report-allo-isnt-replacing-google-hangouts-in-android-7-0.html

The article seems to think that a young woman shouldn't be portrayed as going after an older, powerful, confident male when, as far as anthropology is concerned, this is fairly common behavior. Case in point: all of Trump's wives, Monica Lewinsky or any of these: http://m.ranker.com/list/famous-women-who-married-older-men/celebrity-lists?var=13&utm_expid=16418821-229.FLH4oJT1R8meAGH-jDdxAQ.12 Does it change the story of Batgirl and Batman? Quite possibly. But what I find really interesting is no one talks about what happens to Barbara Gordon in The Killing Joke . Not only is she shot and crippled, but it's alluded to that she's raped by the the Joker. Will that be in this cartoon movie? Or did the WB just decide to gloss over that part? The Killing Joke was a particularly dark time for Batman and cemented the Joker as one of the most sadistic villainous characters in comic books for all time. http://io9.gizmodo.com/the-killing-joke-movie-is-a-disaster-right-down-to

Unfortunately we don't know how this started or what led to him screaming like that. What we do know is she wouldn't leave his car even after he became belligerent and irate. Was she antagonizing him purposefully? What do you think? The YouTube commentors seem to think all fault lies with her. http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/angry-uber-driver-yells-car-article-1.2710007

Have I shared this article before?

Have I shared this article before? The end sums it up perfectly: how can Google expect to gain market share when they're constantly alienating the average consumer with either new or newly branded services? For example I can't try and convince my family to move to Hangouts when Hangouts may not exist in three months or features that make it desirable are suddenly subtracted. What's the point? It seems the only two consumer grade services Google offers that are inviolate are Gmail and Search. http://www.computerworld.com/article/3075366/android/google-mobile-messaging.html?_utm_source=1-2-2

While reading this article I couldn't help but wonder if the so-called "Trump phenomenon" was a natural progression; that it was nothing more than the pendulum swinging the other direction. When we elected President Obama the pendulum swung one direction and now, with Trump, it's swinging in the opposite one. The thing is, it will swing back ... eventually. It really depends on how far their hateful standard bearer gets during this election cycle. http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/07/14/us/politics/donald-trump-white-identity.html?_r=0&referer=https://www.google.com/

As not only Big Brother, but all the "big cousins" out there try harder and harder to get your online communications, new technologies are developed to counter the NSA, GCHQ and countless other state and non-state sanctioned players.

Every time I see a headline about some celebrity, sports person or other inconsequential thing I'm forced to wonder if people really aren't interested in the stories that actually affect their lives: "In this last boring news cycle about my personal life there have been mass shootings, wildfires, major decisions by the Supreme Court, an upcoming election, and any number of more newsworthy issues that “journalists” could dedicate their resources towards." http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_57855586e4b03fc3ee4e626f

Let's face it, the science explained within this article is a little above my head. Not that I didn't get the gist of it, but that anything beyond a basic understanding and my eyes glazed over. Regardless of my understanding of how , this concept is really interesting. I love seeing these technological investments into renewable energies. Don't you?
