As title suggest , what hardware would you buy , if you had the perfect PC for yourself & you decided to throw away cash for a useless but expensive/non expensive hardware for yourself , what would it be? For me i would get a Titan Z for Lolz Plus a really old business grade server for home use , What would you get? Post Your replies down below...

Post how you unbox your new hardware's

Now that's a proper stunt, Professional Skydiver Luke Aikins(42 years old) did the almost unthinkable & seriously scary miracle, amongst a millions of things that could've gone wrong he pulled off the dangerous stunt , Dude is the first person ever to to pull of a parachutes-less jump & land safely onto a net 25,000 feet from up above, Aikins is a professional skydiver & a member of the Red Bull Air Force(now you know why) , also he's a safety and training advisor for the United States Parachute Association (USPA) where he provides advanced skydiving training to elite military Special Forces. PS: Conversions 25,000 feet = 7620 meters, 7.62 Kilometers , 4.73 miles , 8333 yards The Stunt was called "Heaven Sent" , The Diving started of from a height of 25000 feet , approximately 7500+m (7,620m ) meters from the ground , The Weather conditions were favorable and it allowed the sky-diver to complete the mission as scheduled & without any incidents The Sky Diver landed safely onto a net with brilliant accuracy without using a wing suit or parachute assistance , The Net that he landed on a 39X39 meter(128 feet) sized that was placed 20 stories high from ground with elastic ropes attached to give it enough slack so that it didn't turn into a human cheese grater when he goes through the tough net, VIDEO / Watch >>> Little Back Story Time : The stunt was aired on fox under the title "Heaven Sent" , The stunt has been under plan for over two years, previously the stunt was tested with a 200-pound test dummy but it didn’t bounce out of the net, but instead it crashed right through it. Before entering the plane Screen Actors Guild ordered him to wear a parachute to ensure his safety purposes for unintended consequences, Luke Aikins refused to & replied "I'm going all the way to the net, no question about it I'll just have to deal with the consequences when I land of wearing the parachute on my back and what it's going to do to my body" , but he was required to do so as ordered, but afterwards the requirement was lifted by the officials just as the plane reached the jumping area and he took off the chute before committing to the dive. #BadAss The Jump has broken & made a new record for a feat that has never been done before, except i read somewhere there was an accident which a similar event occurred due to an misshapen & the diver landed on san filled region most of the loose sand cushioning the fall but the diver got heavily injured as i recall. Anyways what You guys think about it? Post your responses down below!!!

Which do you prefer? post your comments down there as well...

Post Your opinions down below.. Security vs privacy , both can be abused to certain limits to counteract one another , not going to make a standing point , as far as situation call for it , both are necessary but in varying amounts, which is pretty much impossible to keep up in a democracy it's either one or the other even tho we can have a ton of debates around it & not change shit except make some noise around the issue like a panicked swarm of bees , too much encryption can restrict & interfere with progress to truth & too much loose uncontrolled oversight can lead to serious issue in terms of a persons right & state & even political groups could target rival group or even individuals & abuse their power, should it be locked down for ethical reasons or should we keep a single over-watch to keep things in checks? if it comes down to it, what would you prefer happen?

Do reply with image if possible , even if you don't own one, leave a reply & tell us why & Your opinion on it, does it ruin the hardware design in Your opinion? Do Post original images if possible <3 ^^^Random example images above,Not Mine

Post Your comments down below as well folks, have a go at it..

Do You get attached to hardware that you've used for a while to a point where you don't want to sell or dispose it off after it becomes useless? post your replies down below, thought of adding a poll, but meh, make your post instead, far better response

for me a good GPU, Preferably around mid range & an SSD What do you feel like your PC's missing right now? post your thoughts below!

Awww yiss, New research suggest that humans are pumping out carbon 10 times faster than at any point since the extinction of the dinosaurs which happened almost 66 million years ago , they are pointing the blame towards an Anthropogenic cause AKA 'Caused by humans' that has been the source of this dilemma , First & foremost , the method, The research is based on a new estimating theory , the researchers developed a new method to determine the rate of temperature and carbon changes, using the stable isotopes of oxygen and carbon. the researchers took the Palaeocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) an event 56m years ago believed to be the biggest release of carbon into the atmosphere since the dinosaur extinction 66m years ago as the base line , During which the earths atmosphere saw temperatures rise by 5C over a few thousand years. This image shows the stable isotope records over from PETM from new jersey (Oxygen & carbon isotopes) According to the new method the researchers developed , It revealed that at the start of the PETM, no more than 1bn tonnes of carbon was being released into the atmosphere each year. which sounds an awful lot, But here's the good part , currently 10bn tonnes of carbon are released into the atmosphere every year by fossil fuel-burning and other human activity. & don't forget those cows who fart out 10% of all total atmospheric methane The source of the PETM carbon emissions is thought to be the mass release of methane which had been frozen as hydrates on the ocean floor. It may have been triggered by a smaller initial release of carbon resulting from hot magma pushing into and melting large limestone deposits. PETM Records & time series (vague analytic) okay , so this you probably won't hear people say but , the situation is that is this is a simulation, comparison of the past to the present & expecting a certain results, the researchers study past climate events to better predict future climate changes , this has it's pro's & it's own cons, some areas of it is fairly predictable like the temperature rise but on the flipside it's not an exact representation of possibilities & outcomes , in a way numbers predict , events happen either on to the both sides good or bad we wont know until we know for certain Okay , lets state the obvious things , there are things that suggest that no matter what we do or don't do , there will always be a climate change regardless of the factors humans accompany it , it's a solid theory same a the ones stating that man made , but this is a rather good scale that provides a foresight Current rate of CO2 emmissions have been significantly high compared to old times regardless how efficient our automotive industries have gotten , the amount of automotives for personal usage have significantly increased , pretty much every house hold have some kind of transportation method that relies on fossil fuel, this in turns adds up to this little by little & the optimal counteractive method that is our forests have been significantly been consumed for same purposes as well Automotives aside factories which relies on fossil fuel for mass production & those which expell harmful gases including acids on to the regional ecosystem have been significantly increased Lets just hope that one day we won't rely on fossil fuel for distant journey , but at the present moment it's the only alternative that is optimal & efficient & cost effective for us is fossil fuel, especially to a modern developing countries , regardless how electric cars seems to be catching everyone's eye , it's not been affordable least to say , but it's a start . . So....What do you guys think?

In April 1, 1976, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak formed Apple Computer out of Job's garage in Los Altos The Beginning Jobs and Wayne had both worked together at the gaming company, Atari, while Wozniak, 26, had worked for Hewlett-Packard.Wayne sold his share of the newly created Apple for just $800 just three months after its inception. The Apple-I was Apples first product, I'm pretty sure that's Ashton kutcher & Josh Gad Apple 1 was originally a do-it-yourself kit, The Original Apple 1 was considered the most prized collectable item, around 200 were sold primarily out of their garage, the original version reportedly sold for a whopping $50,000 to some collector Apple was Originally founded by Steve Jobs, Ronald Wayne & Steve Wozniac , Originally named the garage born company as Apple Computer. Inc , Apple 1 was sold for $500 according to some records, later priced it around $699 , Company's first Macintosh was introduced in January 24, 1984, the Macintosh was the first affordable computer to offer a graphical user interface, replacing fusty text-based operating systems with an intuitive layout of folders and icons.

Ive is the designer of many of Apple's products, including the Mac Book Pro, iOs , ipad, applewatch etc. He became a full-time Apple employee in 1992. Fast forward 40 years later we got a product with a unique design which is literally being copied across various manufacturer Apple's been a leading example in the field of handheld portable tablets & smartphone designs & it's complimentary supportive & visually pleasing Operating system across various other platforms have been the major factor that made apple popular as it is, tho overpriced , it does deliver customer satisfaction almost to the fullest Recent years , apple has been trying hard to innovate & one of the most significant introduction of a new hardware was the introduction of Apple watch , Watch was released during the Keynote event in September 2014. It was announced along with The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus Regardless of constant criticism from general audience & rival companies & other troll boys , Apple has been sticking to it's roots even after the unfortunate demise of one of the original founder Steve jobs , Most of the time apple has been struggling to find higher ground in a competitive aspect to keep up with heavy & hefty competition, the closes competitors to their products are currently designing better & providing hardware at lower cost comparitively, But all in all Apple was a wake up call for those lazy stagnant tech industry who were milking the market with outdated same product *oh the irony* , in a way apple pushed itself & introduced a risky method which actually made it the best & made the competition fight for it's spot, they in a way lead others along the path to innovate & challenge themselves, http://www.theverge.com/2016/4/1/11341794/apple-40-anniversary-best-products-mac-iphone-ipod http://abc7ny.com/technology/apple-turns-40-years-old-today/1271370/ Not sure if i want to add more to it , tag me & ask me what i should add to it if you guys want to , boat loads of sources , picked random 2 as source , also thanks to wikipedia as well for letting me steal some of the info & copy & paste which ironically the first iphone couldn't do..

Goddamn! is DJ khaled running the FBI? #AnotherOne BBC is reporting that FBI has agreed to unlock another locked iphone to access it's data to assist in a criminal investigation case of a homicide & Guess what? the FBI agrees to unlock it using the same method that was used to unlock the San Bernardino case i-phone which was rumored to been hacked using a third party software made my an Israeli Mobile Forensic Firm Cellebrite , there was a rumor whether this third party assisting the agency found a flaw across Apple devices or found a workaround only to the specific phone. this means it's a generic one , pretty much without apple not knowing what it is to even consider patching it, every other device in the planet is literally vulnerable to this! FBI so kawai! 'Willingness to help' Although this is the case there was an official statement from their attorney for Mr Drexler saying that he was "not concerned" about any data on the phone.(geez , i wonder why they are even making the statement in the first place) In case of the first unlocking event there was an official statement from A senior federal law enforcement official who spoke on the condition of anonymity said "it was possible that law enforcement might not find anything useful on the phone" obviously followed up with refusal to reveal what they actually found out it always starts with just one.. The New Case: The New case is for an iPhone 6 and an iPod that may contain evidence in a murder case that belonged to two teenagers accused of killing Patricia and Robert Cogdell in Conway, Ark., in July in 2015 the original case that feds were after was for a San Bernardino case in which Syed Farook and his wife were shot dead after killing 14 people in December. this lead the feds to ask the phone manufacturer apple to write a new software that would allow it to gain access to Farook's iPhone. However, Apple refused, arguing it would be wrong to compromise the security of one of its devices since that might lead to vulnerabilities in many other iPhones. And Ladida, it's happening! Option that prevented FBI to attempt Brute force on the iphone The company was ordered by Magistrate Judge Sheri Pym to offer its technical assistance, including if required, provide signed software to bypass or disable an auto-erase function on the phone. The FBI was apprehensive that if the function had been turned on, the auto-erase function would delete the data on the phone after 10 unsuccessful tries. Apple somewhat bravely decline that offer & went into legal battle to counteract it , alas atleast extending the time taken for the phone to be unlocked, but no hopes now.. Justin Olsson, product counsel at security software maker AVG Technologie said that "The responsible thing for the government to do is privately disclose the vulnerability to Apple so they can continue hardening security on their devices." Pretty sure that would not happen Quote from an open letter to it's customers & public from the Apple CEO Tim cook So..the ethical dilemma! , what are your thoughts on this? Post what you think & how far should this continue in your opinion or should this be a norm to keep bad guys away & in check? What do you think? post your opinions down below...

Should free speech be restricted to "good" things alone? or should it be a non barred right for all human beings? Post Your views here.. Things like Good Speech,Free Speech,Propaganda,Hate Speech,Patriarchalism, Mis-information are pretty much verbal cues that teach & may affect affect people in a good way and a bad way, the scale might tip to influencing a whole generation of individual cultures, , it could lead people over to an area of awareness, or to an area of total blindness, Should there be a complete all out restriction in sharing thoughts that could potentially damage people in the long term? Ironic thing is those things that we deem good might stem from our culture & community & we're raised on this view & we're conditioned to back this up(it's literally physically wired within our brains beyond a certain age) weather this is right or wrong Should only certain things that are familiar and safe to u be considered free to discuss & propagate? Hurting peoples feeling does take a toll on them in a discouraging manner , But regardless of that , weather it's right or wrong, but should we use this as an excuse to use the term free speech & latch it onto things we like or should we have it a a right for a person to say anything that persons mind to go through? Should we draw a line or should we listen? #Irony ?????? Problem with the term free speech is the irony, it's okay to say things to a certain limit (both parties are emotionally stable) but when there is talk about a counteracting ideology(emotional discomfort) , we get discomforted that we didn't get to hear what we want to hear it could be considered as bad & this may push an individual or a body of people into resisting or restraining it(disrupt people from talking about it ever again) , there's actual research that proves that emotional reliance can alter outcome of a persons decision making even if the objective results is right or wrong , should a person say things that are only deemed good by that community or should it be restricted to keep disturbance from occurring? He Who Must Not Be Named & yeah that stopped him #Nose Not allowing a person, her or his's opinions counteract the very original idea of free speech, but it's there because it does have it's cons & also pro's , thing is we gauge good & bad most of the time regarding to the reaction to it, the other person might be over-reacting or under reaction, this narrated into a large scale is both good and bad , but when it escalates to physical altercation the views are literally skewed because of that action *(concept is pretty confusing but you can understand) is a persons emotional state of mind(emotional truauma vs objectivity) an optimal reason to restrict speaking freely? or are we overreacting? Should conditions be applied? there are no heroes without villains & and no villains without the so called heroes , Place where bad people think they're good, good people act bad & those who watch both sides are kept silent Obviously this is a hot topic , chances are this could probably go south , & ironically being locked, but you can discuss things in a well mannered pace , so mind the gap folks

Post your thoughts down below...& The above picture pretty much describes the reaction if he ever saw my PC...

Why Google ? Why? Alas, the time has come, Begone ye old banished viking OS , it's time to swag things up a bit, Google has officially announced that it's ending it's support for older version of operating system for PC & Mac versions, Now don't worry, you will still be able to install run the browsers to a certain version , but the updates won't work & it'll pretty much be stagnant without further improvement, but still browsable tho.. Starting April 2016, Chrome will continue to function on these platforms but will no longer receive updates or security fixes.. Support ends for these versions of Operating systems: Windows: Windows XP Windows Vista, Apple: Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7 10.8 Google have provided a statement the main reason is that these platforms are no longer actively supported by Microsoft and Apple , meaning not properly updated & maintained , in a nutshell older platforms are missing critical security updates and have a greater potential to be infected by viruses and malware. Chrome running on windows XP Operating system Pretty sad news for those who are using an older pc with an older OS running on the background who is used to browsing on Chrome who relied on up to date secure browser Source: http://chrome.blogspot.co.uk/2015/11/updates-to-chrome-platform-support.html Post your thoughts on this down below..& rant on old OS users

Just Post your thoughts down below (on title) without reading my comment , Okay , most of us here do spend often a lot of time in front of some form of display PC/mobile/Tablet/Smart Tv like kinds , often too much time , altho we do somewhat free socializing on this(usual counterargument) , are we too boldly attached to this even tho physical meetup & interaction is easier on the given time but, we choose to do it online anyways , is it becoming a norm?

This is gonna be a weird topic , But i think it's a good discussion on topic which technology vs human intelligence showdown is on, The Topic is Peace & Keeping the peace for all form of living being a smart enough AI (& i certainly don't mean those portrait in movies), incorruptible yet which cannot be bribed or forced to change true judgement, that is aware could do things rather perfectly or even much better than human beings , Let's face it , we're emotional beings , whatever outcome there is it's directly proportional to the collective emotional state of mind, especially dealing with other human beings, wisdom of crowds can be emotionally altered & can be controlled to turn into a lynch mob , which is a contradictory thing to start the judgement with, , But Since AI can judge & sense dispassionately & contain the threat , which humans can succumb to like bribery , extortion,physical threat, can all inturn change the outcome or judgement , Take NSA as a primary example they , have some of the most powerful tools for intelligent Big data analysis , pretty sure 98% is dedicated to secure our nation, but the left over percentile is used for covert operations & other interest, which otherwise deem as punishable , but imagine the system was extensively & exclusively under an intelligent system that is incorruptible, Would it do the job close to a 100 times better without shedding too much blood? I'm not talking about AI robots ruling the world , but a static intelligent state which can control human caused error , preemptively strike with precision , but can physically quarantine threats by humans & make a logical judgement, Do you think such a system should be in place in the future or do you think humans should continue on with guiding & ruling over each other to keep peace, a sort of intelligent fair analysis, without human intervention that is malleable ..
