Who doesn’t enjoy that rush of doing something good for others? Facebook has been building on that recently by letting you connect to a favorite charity and asking your friends to donate to it. It’s helping so many worthwhile charities. But it’s best to stick with a charity and not branch out and help people individually that you don’t know. While it is a wonderful thing to want to help people who are less fortunate, there are always going to be nefarious individuals to spoil the fun. Facebook users are being scammed into thinking they donated to a terrorist organization such as ISIS. Latest Facebook… Read more

The must-have toaster for gamers
NEWS – If you’re a PC gamer, you’re probably already familiar with Razer, the maker of gaming peripherals and laptops. What you might not know is that Razer is going to make a toaster. Say what? Yes, you read that right, a toaster. This all started when a fan made a Facebook post asking for a Razer toaster. The CEO of Razer, Min-Liang Tan, challenged him to get a million likes, and then they would make one. As community interest grew, Razer created an April Fools prank, which only fanned the flames more.
Although the fan never got to a million likes, he did inspire at least a dozen people to get Razer toaster tattoos–I can’t quite imagine doing this myself–and eventually, Razer gave in. Last month Tan confirmed on Facebook that they are going to do it. No word yet on a release date or the price, but when it arrives, I will certainly buy one. (If my wife lets me.) What about you? Are you getting the toaster, the tattoo, or both?

Huawei’s Android License Revoked by Google, Leaving Them to Use Open-Source Version
These days everything and everyone seems to somehow get political – it’s hard to avoid. It’s even affected our technology, as an executive order was signed that grants the United States government the power to decide which foreign-produced telecommunications equipment is a potential national security risk and to then block U.S. companies from buying that equipment. The problem is that it will be affecting the consumers, perhaps people that don’t even have an interest in politics. It has now led to Google revoking Huawei’s Android license, meaning their customers will have to make do with an open-source version of Android. Android License Revoked While initially… Read more
