Popcorn is Dead

It looks like this pirate site that was popular with many users has shut down and this time it may be for good. Since things are changing rapidly for cord-cutters the interest is no longer there and since there are other ways to get content the site became obsolete. 

It was good while it lasted and it paved the way for other services to offer free content.

Blackberry Ends Support

The long-lived smartphone support has ended and the user now has no choice but to upgrade so that they can go forward with 5G wireless technology. 

This was long overdue, but I guess sometimes great technologies are hard to let go of.

If you are always looking for free PDF tools, then this is a site to bookmark and remember. It contains most of the applications that premium PDF software comes with. It's ideal when you just need to use it for a few minutes to get your job done right.

Understand Code

Now coding does not have to be complicated anymore. All you need to do is copy and paste the code you want to be translated and the site tells you what the code is doing.

So Denigma Alpha is the way to go if you just want the code to be explained in English instead of the programers language.

WhatsApp Crypto Payment

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. 

Now when there are network outages like the recent AWS outage in December, this is just a taste of some of the services that were disrupted.

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.

Let's see what will happen next.

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.

Zoom Attendance Tool

It looks like Zoom recently did some upgrades and now it will alert the host in the attendance status tool. And the host now will be able to see if the user accepted or declined the meeting invite. So get ready for Zoom's new features.

What's up with Edge

Edge was coming strong as a Google alternative, now the browser looks like going in a different direction. Now it looks like Microsoft is going back to it's old habits and the browsers future is now in question.

FB Money Messenger

It looks like Facebook will soon open up Messenger to it's payment platform and it's going to change social media as we know it today. 

The concept is not old but an opportunity for FB to become a payment service similar to Paypal and Venmo.

IRS Crypto Wallet Help

It looks like the IRS is seeking help to get a hold of owners with cryptocurrency wallets and this could be the beginning of more regulations to come.

This is just going to get more interesting in the future when these accounts are hacked.

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.

Canon Scanning Problem

Canon is being sued because it stops scanning when the ink cartridge is empty. The company has no right in blocking the scanning and faxing features on its printer. And I do not blame its customers for filing a class-action suit.

Chrome OS update

The new Chrome OS update now turns Chromebooks into scanners so that the webcam can now scan documents with both cameras. So now your documents can now be easily scanned. 

It's great news and hope to see new more improvements with Chromebook.
