It looks like the famous chatting site now wants to move towards cryptocurrency payments and if all goes well this could be a new revenue source for the chatting service. And you better believe that other companies may follow along doing the same.

Connect World Gone Wrong

It just comes to show you how connected everyone is to the internet. The more technology improves the more likely consumers are able to add these devices to their daily lives.

Apple Device Help Thieves

It's unlikely that Apple's new AirTag is now being used for all sorts of illegal activity. These smart designs are making it easier for thieves to steal your high-end vehicles. 

This is a story of something good going bad and I hope Apple can quickly put a stop to this and save this ideal device.

Grinch Bots

Lawmakers are now considering banning shopping bots that buy up online products and then resell them for higher prices on third party sites like eBay and Amazon. 
It's bots like these that fool e-commerce site verification systems and buy up discounted inventory in special buying seasons.

Twitter Photo Ban Sharing

It looks like Twitter is cracking down on user's who share other user's photos without their consent and it might just change social media as we know it. And with privacy concerns, I can see other social media magnets doing the same in order to keep everyone content.

Microsoft New Updates

It looks like Microsoft now is changing its update rules and soon updates will be done once a year. This will be a great solution for system administrators who need to constantly keep Windows updated. 

And I guess this will give them a good reason to want to upgrade to the new version to get the latest features.

New Phone & Tablet rules

 It looks like Phone and Tablet makers are being forced to update their devices. The new law will only protect Europe but if passed it could change policies around the world forcing manufactures to allow the devices to get updates for up to seven years. 

So hopefully when you then go out and buy an outdated product, the manufacture will have to continue updating the device for seven years. 

Let's hope that everything passes and consumers get their money's worth.
