If Your A PC Type You Will Migrate To Windows Ten No Matter What You Do! Microsoft Is Downloading Windows Ten Without Asking...
According to Ars Technica the Windows 10 upgrade option is appearing
chosen by default to some users updating there computers and a dialogue
box is appearing that only permits them to reschedule the upgrade process,
not cancel it."For the first year of its availability, Windows 10 is available for free to most Windows 7 and 8 users, and Microsoft has been trying to coax those users to make the switch by delivering the operating system through Windows Update.
Until now, the OS has been delivered as an optional update; while Windows Update gives it prominent positioning, it shouldn't be installed automatically.
This system has already generated some complaints, as Windows Update will download the sizeable operating system installer even if you don't intend to upgrade any time soon, but, over the last couple of days, the situation seems to have become a little more aggressive.
We've received a number of reports that people's systems are not merely downloading the installer but actually starting it up."

And Why Is Microsoft Wanting Everyone On Windows 10?
We've all become used to the idea of ads online — it's something that has become part and parcel of using the internet — but in Windows?
If you've updated to build 10565 of Windows 10, you're in for something of a surprise: the Start menu is now being used to display ads.
We're not talking about ads for Viagra, porn, or anything like that, but ads for apps. Of course, Microsoft is not describing them as ads; 'Suggested apps' has a much more approachable and fluffy feel to it. Maybe.
This is a 'feature' that's currently only being shown to Windows Insiders, but it could spread to everyone else.
Will it be well-received?

Some companies have no ethics or morals it would seem...
Oracle's aggressive licensing practices, practices that have earned the notoriety over the years.
This week, Texas law firm Scott & Scott wrote a blog post warning enterprises about the 'traps' in Oracle software licensing.
One of the biggest problems with Oracle software is how difficult it is for companies to track internally what they're using and how they're using it, said Julie Machal-Fulks, a partner with Scott & Scott, in an interview with Katherine Noyes.
'They may use just one Oracle product and think they're using it correctly, but then Oracle comes along and says, 'no, you're using it wrong — you owe us a million bucks.'

If you find a USB stick always THROW IT AWAY!
Plugging in random USB sticks in your computer has never been more
dangerous, as a researcher who goes by the name Dark Purple has
demonstrated his new device:
USB Killer 2.0. When plugged into a
computer, the deadly USB draws power from the device itself.
With the help of a voltage converter the device's capacitors are charged to 220V, and it releases a negative electric surge into the USB port.
This surge "fries" the USB port and, in the researcher's demonstration, the motherboard — perhaps not always after the first surge, but the malicious USB device repeats the process until no more power can be drawn.

Matthew 11:19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Here is a
glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.' But
wisdom is proved right by her deeds."
Jesus would be here today reaching out to these people.
But most religious spirited people would not, it is beneath them. Just ask them...

TIL
the 103rd floor of the Empire State Building was originally designed as
a zepplin mooring station, complete with mooring mast, control tower
room and passenger waiting room. Unforeseen currents caused by updraft
from the building itself made it unusable, with only one zeppelin ever
using it.

Just For Grins...
FORMER BEATLE RINGO STARR CLAIMS THE “REAL” PAUL MCCARTNEY DIED IN 1966 AND WAS REPLACED BY LOOK-ALIKE
In an exclusive interview with the Hollywood Inquirer, Mr.
Starr explained that the “real” Paul McCartney had died in a car crash
on November 9 1966, after an argument during a Beatles’ recording
session.
To spare the public from grief, the Beatles replaced him with a man named William Shears Campbell, who was the winner of a McCartney
look-alike contest and who happened to have the same kind of jovial
personality as Paul. :-)

Check this out ChristianI don't think it is as bad as the article depicts. In some of the instances there is a back story that would make us go "aha now I see why."
In one case the bible study filled the local streets with cars and became a nuisance to the local community.
For the most part Christians can still share their faith.
I always come out and ask people, "Can I share some of the Word of God with you?"
And most often they allow me to share the message of Salvation with them.
God guides and God provides, the calling of God is the enabling of God.
God will always open doors when we are following His guidance and leading by His Holy Spirit.
Be sensitive...

If it is too good to be true then it is too good to be true.
How many times over the years have I seen Christians hood winked into schemes that only tapped their wallets with promise of great reward?
I knew a painter who had retired with a small inheritance.
He bought into some stock in the "New Wirless N" techonology that a friend was pushing.
Today he is broke and living with his inlaws in the Valley.
Christians tend to be very gullible people it would seem.

Forty five years ago, senior Motorola engineer Marty Cooper made one
very important phone call. From midtown Manhattan, Marty called Joel
Engel, then the head of rival research department Bell Labs. When Joel
picked up, Marty uttered something rather unexpected: "Joel, this is Marty. I'm calling you from a cellphone, a real handheld portable cellphone."***
I usually dread shopping in stores. Trying on clothes is tedious, and sometimes completing the actual purchase is, too. Retailers like to ask for all sorts of information as they’re ringing up your merchandise, like your e-mail address and ZIP code. I just want to pay and be on my way, and they give me the third degree. Why do they always want your Zip code?

Cord Cutting
"While Redigi is illegal, Aereo, the service that allows users to time-shift over-the-air TV programming, isn't.
'We conclude that Aereo's transmissions of unique copies of broadcast television programs created at its users' requests and transmitted while the programs are still airing on broadcast television are not 'public performances' of the plaintiffs' copyrighted works,' said the ruling (PDF).
Of course, both decisions are going to be appealed.
'The outcome also answers the question, at least momentarily, of whether online television would be controlled by a stodgy industry that once shunned the VCR, or whether third-party innovators embracing technological advances have a chance to build on the openness of public airwaves. ...
Aereo’s technological setup, the court found, basically allows it to do what cable companies could not: retransmit broadcast airwaves without paying licensing fees.
In short, the Aereo service is as legal as somebody putting an antenna on top of their house to capture broadcast signals.
The court said Aereo “provides the functionality of three devices: a standard TV antenna, a DVR, and a Slingbox” device. “Each of these devices is legal, so it stands to reason that a service that combines them is also legal.
Only in the world of copyright maximalists do people need to get special permission to watch over-the-air television with an antenna,” said John Bergmayer, an attorney with the digital-rights group Public Knowledge.
“Just because ‘the internet’ is involved doesn’t change this."'"

Here is what I think about this website which is currently being passed around in e~mail by Christians.
My mind immediately bypasses what is being projected and looks at Biblical realities in comparison.
I think to myself that this is nothing new at all.
Why be in "Wake Up Call" mode?
I mean even Jesus stated, "that if they hated me they will also hate you," a few thousand years ago.
Let's take a closer look...
The martyrdom of thousands in the first three centuries of the church who were willing to face death rather than burn incense to Caesar or a pagan idol, is the strongest evidence for the truth of the claims of the New Testament.
Men who had recently been afraid to be seen with Jesus when He hung on a cross on Golgotha were willing to bet their very lives on the conviction that He was raised from the dead and that His victory had procured their own hope for life beyond death.
And they had it truly bad. Look what they went through in the book of Acts.
The success of the church in its first generation, having established congregations from Ethiopia in Africa to India in Asia, and to Rome, Gaul, and Britain in Europe, unfortunately led others to persecute Christians.
Some early Christians escaped the persecutions recorded in Acts with the martyrdom of Stephen and the scattering of the Jerusalem flock, only to find themselves persecuted in the pagan Roman empire.
The people of the Roman empire initially thought this new Jewish sect curious, then bizarre, then fair game for use in sports spectacles in their coliseums , and finally, a threat, as their growth in numbers and unflagging loyalty to Christ made Jesus more beloved and worshiped by more people than the current Caesar.
James the son of Zebedee, the elder brother of John was martyred ten years after the death of Stephen. Herod Agrippa, as governor of Judea raised a sharp persecution against the Christians by striking at their leaders.
Philip suffered martyrdom at Heliopolis, in Phrygia. He was scourged, thrown into prison, and afterwards crucified, a.d. 54.
Matthew was martyred in Ethiopia, “slain with a halberd in the city of Nadabah, a.d. 60. (A halberd is an ax with a long pointed spike.}
James, the Lord's brother and bishop of the church in Jerusalem, “at the age of ninety four was beaten and stoned...finally had his brains dashed out.”
Matthias, elected to succeed Judas Iscariot, “was stoned at Jerusalem and beheaded.”
Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, “on his arrival at Edessa, was taken and crucified on a cross, the two ends of which were fixed transversely in the ground. Hence the derivation of the term, “St. Andrew's Cross.”
Mark, companion of Peter and author of the gospel bearing his name, “was dragged to pieces by the people of Alexandria...ending his life.
Peter, bishop of Rome, was crucified upside down, because he thought he was unworthy to be crucified in the same way as the Lord.
Paul died at the hands of Nero's soldiers, who, “came and led him out of the city to the place of execution, where he, after making his prayers, gave his neck to the sword.
Jude, author of the epistle bearing his name and “brother of James, and commonly called Thaddeus, was crucified at Edessa, a.d. 72.
Bartholomew, said to have translated the gospel of Matthew into an Indian language and preached it there, was “cruelly beaten and then crucified.”
Thomas, the twin famous for doubting Jesus' resurrection, “preached the gospel in Parthia and India, where exciting the rage of the pagan priests, he was martyred by being thrust through with a spear.”
Luke, author of the gospel bearing his name and of Acts, “is supposed to have been hanged on an olive tree, by idolatrous priests of Greece.”
Simon “Zelotes, preached the gospel in Mauritania, Africa, and even in Britian, in which latter country he was crucified, a.d. 74.”
John was cast into a cauldron of boiling hot oil, but miraculously escaped without injury. He was the only apostle who escaped a violent death.
The death of Barnabus, one of the seventy, companion of Paul, “is supposed to have taken place about a.d. 73.”
There were ten waves of persecution in Imperial Rome. It increased the “spirit of Christianity.” The church of the Imperial era considered the martyrs to be instant saints, inheritors of the Kingdom of Heaven by virtue of earning the martyr's crown.
So in conclusion there is nothing new under the sun, if they hate Jesus they will also hate you.
John 15:18
If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
1 John 3:13
Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
