MARIJUANA ; THE WILL TO SMOKE/CONSUME AND, THE PART THAT CURES


Cannabis legalization might not have gotten it's fair share in Africa, bt.it is widely smoked and consumed by many youths across The African states.......Legalization of POT might have yet put another bullet in the coffin for Cannabis Advocates has its gained legality in some States in the United State of America . We're now at at point where some Governments of the world are beginning to realize the economic implication of letting cannabis strife, knowing how much it's going to contribute in revenue if cannabis get legalization. Removal of certain restriction attached to Marijuana possession and consumption-in term of criminal penalties for certain marijuana related offenses, thousands of individuals will avoid the collateral consequences associated with a criminal record.


Call it Pot, Weed, Grass, Dope, Marijuana, to some it helps to sustain a good/better health and help through psychological stress/es. But in contradictory term it is immoral,illegal and destructive. To many around the world it represents an essential medicine that help
alleviates debilitating Symptoms. Without this, these people wouldn't be able to treat their conditions-some even think they will be useless has dead without Marijuana.

In States that where medical cannabis strives, Doctors recommend medical marijuana for several conditions and diseases, especially chronic like Nausea(mostly caused by chemotherapy, loss of appetite anxiety,arthritis, cancer, aids, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, insomnia, epilepsy, inflammation, migraine, among others). Exactly how does Medical marijuana work to treat these conditions and how effective it could be to get more support spread across the World!! Most of us probably have an opinion on It; lauded and denigrated across d world. Advocates persuade towards it being harmless and can cure all manner of diseases, why critics belief it is a path way with plethora of dangerous and irreversible side effects, physical and psychological.



This Cannabis Sativa plant for millennia has been used recreationally and medically-with burnt cannabis seeds found in burial trenches dating back to 3,000 BC. "The war on drug" and reefer Madness among others has changed all that. The public was made to belief it is damaging and destroys a user's mental and physical wellbeing, encourage reckless behaviour and breads contempt for traditional societal values, Which observation has proven to be right. But, the resent shift in people's opinion as of 2015, the science behind the Marijuana plant is experiencing some-worth of a reawakening as well. The secret inside this once taboo Sativa seems to be a wealth of remedies. Each year passing,citizens are beginning to look to the plant to treat various conditions. A lot of benefits lies inside the divisive leaf of the Cannabis Sativa plant which has unquestionably suffered from smear campaign .

While drug prescription misuse and alcohol kills millions around the world per year,there hasn't be being such record from the misuse of of marijuana ( that is if there was/is any).
With the two sides having a valid and logical arguments, it is worth a trial to allow for the medical realization of The Cannabis Sativa.Keeping the society healthy and safe as well, any Nation or State that want to tap into the scientific benefits of the so called "Miracle Drug" should keep in place a Virile Drug Enforcement Agency or Administration that will monitor as well as participate in the study that will make Marijuana beneficial to the society.has their exist some benefits and hope that something good might come out of researches into its' medical sphere as evidences has shown.

This few States already legalized the use of cannabis Sativa :

Argentina ; Belgium ; Canada ; Czech Republic ; Israel ; Italy ; Iran ; North Korea ; Mexico ; Netherlands ; Peru ; Poland.

Microsoft back on the road with digital assistant ; Cortana in your car.

Microsoft originally led in car technology with its SYNC
platform for Ford, only to see itself look increasingly old-school as people's
expectations were shaped by faster, friendlier smartphones. Now QNX has
taken over Ford's SYNC 3 , and Google's Android Auto and Apple's CarPlay
are grasping for more control of the car through people's phones. Windows
in the car is another chance for Microsoft, and speech-controlled Cortana
can lead the way. It shouldn't be that hard for Microsoft to port Windows
10 to the car—it’s just a big, rolling, connected tablet, anyways!

Cortana in the car? It might happen soon. The Taipei Times reported that Samuel
Shen, chief operating officer at the Microsoft Asia-Pacific Research and
Development Group, said Microsoft has developed a prototype of a
connected car that uses Cortana as an interface. Instead of forcing you to
glance at the dashboard (taking your eyes off the road) the prototype
projects information onto your windshield. A head-up display is already
used in some cars to show speed, navigation, and other data. Microsoft's
prototype display can show directions or allow the driver to make
reservations at local restaurants, the paper reported. Android Auto and
Apple CarPlay remain stuck in the car's in-dash display.
Last year, Microsoft showed off Windows for cars, based on a concept
oriented around Windows 8. With the advent of Windows 10 and Cortana,
however, Microsoft has updated its vision.
Adding Cortana as the speech interface achieves many of the goals
Microsoft laid out last year: reducing the “cognitive load,” or the
requirement to think about what you’re doing; glanceability, or minimizing
the “eye time” on the screen beyond 2 seconds; trying to minimize the
effects of different screen sizes; and doing away with the need to touch
tiny onscreen buttons—which might be OK on a phone, but much less so at
65 mph. should cover all those goals.

craig David back loving music again

Kurupt FM on 1Xtra got Craig David to confess to loving music again,after one performance again and it was lovely, he was feeling the music himself when performing feel me in........"It was too much energy in there. Big Narstie was doing his thing with
Stormzy coming through and Shola Ama sounded amazing.
"When I did the Fill Me In combo it was just something I thought would
sound cool on the drop but then people went nuts for it."

His loving the response got from the performance,
"The comments have been so beautiful," he admits with a huge smile on
his face.
"I'm in that place of loving music again and not taking things too serious."
Craig says the reaction on social media has reinforced his reasoning for
being back in the studio.

"When you come out the box and you sell seven million records and you
have songs like Fill Me In and 7 Days and Walking Away - that's what
people expect."
Despite the anticipation for his sixth album Craig says he doesn't feel any
pressure because he's "removed it" from his life.
Loving music again
At one point Craig admits he fell out of love with music - albeit
momentarily.
"There was a moment where I bought into statistics," he remembers.
"I bought into the charts and the records I was selling.
"I remember the first album doing so well and selling seven million.
"My next album did 3.5 million and I was looking at it like it was a
disappointment.
"There are now albums selling 20,000 and getting number one.
"I bought in to all the nonsense because I took it too serious and if you
keep on that road you start to buy into all of that and you forget about
what it was about."
Craig says, at the age of 34, he's back feeling like a 17-year-old kid again.
"It's about being hungry and passionate," he says.
And there he goes after filling us in to play Bestival and then he's off to
visit his mum.
Craig David will fancy the chance of hitting the studio again and dropping a new studio album, it's been over five years since we've seen or heard anything close to an Album. Almost the whole World love his debuts album.....from the street to the living room...from the rural to sub-urbam to Urban-the lyrics where cool and the tracks very hot..
Though, no hint was dropped on any new album yet....it will be good to buy something new that looks like an Album from him....."My thing is I just want to get it right," he admits to Newsbeat at Bestival.
"I've set such a benchmark.
We wish him lucks!!!

"Hey SIRi" call it charm!!! -IOS 9 got the moves - event unveil and next upgrades

The Cupertino-based ground breaking event was held yesterday with lots of optimism as expected,history was made, lovers were oowed has one of the largest event in the firms history came on stage. Apple announced a flurry of new products at an event traditionally used to promote the company's latest iPhone. Alongside the brand new iPhone 6s and 6s Plus boasting 3D touch and a 12Mp camera came a brand new Apple TV, the much-rumoured iPad Pro and new Apple Watch models. Plus, we've included our live blog so you can read exactly what happened, as it happened on the nigh.

As soon as the event started, it was clear that it was going to be an important event – why? Because Apple skipped the part where it normally talks about how the company is faring and how its products are rocking the market, and moved straight onto its new products.

So, what was announced at the event? It started off with the Apple Watch and watchOS 2. The Apple Watch Sport is getting two new colours – gold and rose gold, along with a number of new sport straps and a new hand-stitched luxury leather strap from Hermes. The new Apple Watch Sport models are shipping from today, and watchOS 2 is coming 16 September.



Next up was a brand new iPad – the iPad Pro. The 12.9in beauty is the largest iOS device Apple has ever made, and boasts a 2732x2048 display with around 5.6 million pixels. It also comes with a 64-bit A9X chip with 1.8x the performance of the A8X, which Apple claims can produce “desktop-class performance”. Alongside the A9X chip is a four-speaker audio system, 8Mp iSight camera, Touch ID and two killer accessories – the Apple Pencil and Apple Smart Keyboard. To find out more about the iPad Pro and its killer features, check out: iPad Pro features, design, new features, UK launch date and pricing. The iPad mini 4 also got a brief mention, so don’t forget to check that out either.

After showcasing the iPad Pro, it was Tim’s turn to introduce the next generation Apple TV complete with a redesigned OS (tvOS) and touch remote. It boasts a full App Store with games that can be played with the remote, as well as your iPhone or iPad alongside Siri integration that can be used at any time. Watching Netflix and want to find out the weather? Just ask Siri and it’ll be displayed on the lower third of your screen, out of the way of the action. You can also ask “What did he say?” when watching a movie and Siri will rewind the clip 15 seconds and temporarily enable subtitles.

Last came,the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus. Many rumours about the upcoming iPhone 6S turned out to be true – it’ll be available in Rose Gold, it’ll boast a new kind of touch named “3D Touch” and boasts a 12Mp rear-facing camera with 4K video capabilities. The introduction of 3D Touch gives users a totally new way to interact with their smartphone – say for example, you’re sent a text message with an address. Instead of directly opening Maps, you can force press the address to open a pop-up Map that you can quickly view and dismiss. It also includes Live Photos, photos that when force touched will play a short video clip and sound from when the photo was taken.










No matter the lowlights lowlights lowlights event and the lastest from updates.the San Francisco event was a success. Apple,already known for set another standard @ the 2015 event to to remembered for a long minute.

Must the USA Government have access to world data.....

Accord to report in the New York Time Report, the United State government is currently in a legal battle with two Tech giants due to access denial to private customer data base. The two concurrent battles have
emerged: one with Apple over access to the iMessage service and the other with Microsoft over data stored on a server in Dublin, Ireland.



The Apple-related Department of Justice investigation focuses on iMessages that are sent and received from suspected gun and drug dealers. Apple claims that iMessage is encrypted end-to-end so it cannot see the messages, a point that has been highlighted many times by the company and even the CEO, Tim
Cook . This, in turn, means the US government cannot see them.End-to-end encryption, the type used by Apple in iMessage and
FaceTime, means that no one — not even Apple — can see the content of the messages sent between users, effectively halting any third party attempts to access the data. This encryption does not apply to iCloud, the company's group of online services, and Apple has handed over some messages that were stored in the cloud to the US government. Apple CEO Tim Cook has been an outspoken advocate of privacy, often throwing jabs at Google over its practises.
"There’s another attack on our civil liberties that we see heating up every day — it’s the battle over encryption," he told the New York Times. "We think this is incredibly dangerous."Microsoft is currently in a showdown with the US government over access to information on a server located in Dublin,
Ireland, and whether the US government can access it. Brad Smith, Microsoft's legal council, has spoken publicly about the ramifications of the triumph by the DOJ, claiming that it would set a precedent for other governments — namely Russia and China — to access data on servers based in the US.
"People want to know what law will be applied to their data,”Brad Smith told The New York Times. "[The] French want their rights under French law, and Brazilians under Brazilian law.What is the U.S. government going to do when other governments reach into the U.S. data centers, without notifying
the U.S. government?" Microsoft and the US government are set to argue it out this week when both parties appear in a federal appeals court on
Wednesday.

lets hope the tech company win so, we cud be safe AGAIN maybe.......

Google gone rogue; blocked the blocker...

The trending remour say Google has started neutralizing the popular adware filter
AdBlock plus. It seems like Google has finally discover a way around this
handy ad-gobbling extension to increase their almost non-existent revenues
from the site .
Twitter users posted screenshots of Chrome, showing the video
streaming site playing “pre-roll ads” without any skip option. It seems that
YouTube is masquerading Ads as normal video-content. This trick seems to
work well with all existing adblocker extensions, not only the market leader
AdBlock Plus.This pose a major setback to web developers, since the ads contribute a
significant slice of their total income.



You can say Google has almost gone rogue with their new scheme, since
users with the extension are no longer able to skip the ad at the beginning
of the video; a privilege afforded by most of us non AdBlock users for a
long time.
Users have claimed that by uninstalling the YouTube app, Google’s bypass
gets skipped and AdBlock Plus will return to its rightful place.
Google’s new development might bring happy tears to the eyes of many
content creators and publishers, as the world famous website plays King in
cashing more than a few industrious pay checks.
Adware is still a major controversy among content creators and consumers,
and will most likely remain a battle that we’ll never see the end of… Or more
suitably; The Battle of the Net.

HACKTIVISM, "IMPACT TEAM" WAS ALMOST RIGHT ABOUT ASHLEY MADISON.

Hacktivism [the act of hacking, or breaking into a computer system, for politically or socially or personally motivated purpose] might raise a lot of eye bras when mentioned to our hearing, at first negative thought sprung the mind. How can I blame the intuition and negative outlook, when the most popular news of them which touches on the ear drum are negatives?

The Ashley Madison infiltration by the “IMPACT TEAM” due to the kind of service it offers only brings to mind why allow infidelity and immorality strive and trend in our society this deep to allowing a site run an online community that promotes immorality at extreme. The “impact team” has hacked Ashley Madison obviously without permission; this was seemed to be done with one or two motives in mind, the obvious being to convince people behind the online infidelity community to shutdown the activities by threatening to release user data which include members personal information such as home address, credit card details, images, conversations place use to carry out this acts, in an attempt to force a shot-down of Ashley Madison infidelity service. This information was later released and made public nearly a month later, almost a whopping 20gig of internal company data held by Ashley Madison parent company AVID LIFE MEDIA.
Despite the alleged illegality that accompanied this act the good intentions of the hackers can never be subdued. As it was spelt out by the police superintendent in Toronto, Canada, Superintendent Bryce Evans that this activity is “illegal and can’t be tolerated”. Amazingly, felony has been committed in an attempt to help fix/free the society of immorality-but in a world where people claim many rights (In-sex right as it is being propagated in the Uk, Gay right, among others). How could you say Ashley Madison was wrong in helping people satisfy their sexual craves and making infidelity convert (fidelity in extra-marital affairs), as much as the goal seems wrong, it seems right in the eye of the law. Looking at the intention of the hacker to infiltrate Ashley Madison due to the kind of services it offer seemed right. The site provides an enabling atmosphere that promotes cheating on own wife or girlfriend or fiancée/fiancé, and favors adultery which is the main objective, thus is objectable on moral and on legal grounds. Though, other sites exist that promote same course, some even broadcast television broadcasts, one fact remains, no matter how intolerable it is, it is not illegal. Anonymity of other users cannot be easily traced or identified, promoting this idea that anyone can get away with infidelity or extra-marital affair with another person without the knowledge of your partner or keeping it secret from the significant other. Bad as it seems as long as you not caught their wouldn’t be any proof that can be against a person. One of the lacunas of running this is, keep it away from the claws of the law.

Despite people buying into the services it is a little surprise to find-out one or two celebrities signed up for this service on the website. Josh Dugger who should be promoting the right family values as executive director of a conservative lobbing group called ‘Family Research Council’ was found wanting [how hypocritical can people be in this world of ours!!!] he was later found twisting his tongue that he has absolved himself from the act more than a decade ago and was finally plying the “right path” how believable!. Doesn’t the idea of being unfaithful bother them one way or the other, after the crave for raging hormone has driven the instinct toward submitting to marital infidelity?

Two suicide cases in connection to the Ashley Madison infiltration has surfaced, maybe they’re too afraid to bear the pains that is going to come their way. If you’ve taken the leap of courage to own an account in an adultery society you should be strong enough to think less of suicide just because your immoral act will be exposed to public comments. If you could learn how to be good again and follow the right paths, though the past remains as part of your story forever, the future still holds a lot of great things.

If this “hacktivism” becomes successful in persuading the people behind Ashley Madison to call quit this service, it will be a big thing for the internet community but a victory for the society. Even if the activity of the “Impact Team” was illegal a great moral effect have been created and a sense of responsibility has been shown and felt.

The Nokia 3310 Turned 15 Years Olton days ago. But It's Still The Best Phone Ever.

A lot has changed in the Technology world and it's developed so much in such a small amount of time, it's
incredible to think that the Nokia 3310 used to be the best phone that
money could buy back in the year 2000. It didn't have a big aerial sticking
out of the top, it had games... Life had never been so good.
Fast forward to 2015, and we can stream HD films onto our phones on the
go, speak to our phones and tell them to remind us to buy milk when we
pop down the shop and there's even a phone that unlocks by using your
fingerprint. Just think, in another 15 years - what will our phones look like?
However, we're concentrating on the good stuff here. At least back in the
day, you could compare scores on Snake with pretty much everyone
because no-one had to download an app - it was already there. Plus, forget
about taking your charger everywhere - the Nokia 3310's battery could last
seemingly forever.
'I heard that some girl lost her #Nokia3310 and found it a year later
and it was still on.'

Also, if you dropped it, you wouldn't have the Schrödinger's cat situation
where your phone is lying face-down and the screen is both broken and not
broken until you look. The Nokia 3310 would never break. In fact, the
internet still has a good old laugh about how tough they were compared to
the iPhones of today.
"...you don't break nokia...nokia breaks you" it was just a phone if all weather and season!!!

WOW!!!!!!!!! Vibrating Bra That Increases Breast Size Permanently

Wow!!the invention is the coolest!!

Men and women all over the world are hailing the vibrating bra as 'the
greatest invention since the wheel'. Alright, they're not, but it's pretty
revolutionary.
Serbian inventor, Milan Milić, 30, has invented a ‘miracle vibrating bra’ that
can permanently increase the size of a woman’s breasts. If the a bra
passes clinical tests it could help millions of women around the world
achieve a larger cleavage without having to go under the knife.
The patented bra has been successfully tested on several women in Europe,
and the U.S. tests have proven just as successful. Sabrina Molinar, from
Miami, increased her breasts from a B to a C cup after wearing the bra for
just 15 minutes a day over seven days.
Despite its initial success, no one is actually sure how the bra increases
breast size, not even the inventor himself.
The bra is currently named 'E Bra'and Milić is hoping to produce it in all sizes and have it on sale next year.
The price has not yet been decided, but you can guarantee it'll be cheaper
and safer than surgery. Ladies this is your call far ahead of your imagination.


WHAT'S YOUR view?

APPLE BOREDOM ; nothing seems different anymore!!

Smartphone makers used to wow us with every new bell, whistle and
fingerprint reader, but nowadays a slightly sharper display or crisper camera
elicit little more than a shrug. It's a dilemma the entire industry faces as the
smartphone market matures. Just look at how Samsung's sales have
sputtered even with a steady stream of new Galaxy smartphones or how
HTC's tumbled after that company released its flagship One smartphone
with minimal physical changes.The excitement that once gripped you as hype built for the next Apple
iPhone isn't quite there anymore, but faithfyls shall brace for the new gadget on their doorsteps.
There is no better poster child for this problem than the upcoming iPhone.
Next week, Apple will unveil its next iPhone, likely to be called the iPhone
6S, and it will look exactly like last year's model. The appearance of that
phone wasn't all that different from Apple's first smartphone, introduced
eight years ago.
"What can they pull out of the iPhone bag to get people excited?" asked
Kantar Worldpanel analyst Carolina Milanesi. "That's what the big question
is."
The likely marquee feature for this year's iPhone 6S will be the Force Touch
technology used in the Apple Watch, a pressure-sensitive display that
responds to various types of touches. A new color could be in the works as
well. Some rumors say Apple may tweak the device's display and materials
and slightly alter the design to incorporate a bigger battery. None of that
seems likely to spark consumers' attention the way voice-activated digital
assistant Siri did.
Next week, other products may be the real attention-getters in what some
reports have said will be a jam-packed launch event in San Francisco.
Apple is expected to introduce new iPads (possibly including a long-awaited
12.9-inch iPad Pro) and an updated Apple TV, and it will launch its iOS 9
and Mac OS X El Capitan software, first shown in June.Our boredom doesn't mean Apple won't sell millions of phones, but it does mean consumers may think a little longer before shelling out cash for an
iPhone 6S when their old devices are "good enough."

The iPhone is by far the company's most important device. It accounts for
more than two-thirds of Apple's revenue and easily outpaces other products
in shipments and sales.
But the smartphone market overall isn't growing as it once did. Shipments
worldwide should rise only about 10 percent this year, according to IDC,
well below the 28 percent increase in 2014, with China shouldering much of
the responsibility for that slowdown.
Samsung and fellow smartphone makers including LG, HTC and Xiaomi
have felt it, and not even Apple could avoid concerns during its most
recently concluded quarter. In July, Apple reported fiscal third-quarter
earnings that were better than analysts had forecast and revenue largely in
line with expectations, but it wasn't the blowout Wall Street has gotten
used to. The company also projected weaker fiscal fourth-quarter sales
than anticipated and said it sold fewer iPhones (47.5 million) in its third
quarter than Wall Street analysts expected (49.4 million).
While the iPhone has seen notable changes over the years, it has
essentially remained a rectangular box with a round home button since the
first model arrived in 2007, and that design limits what Apple can do. It's
already boosted the overall size of the devices with the 4.7-inch iPhone 6
and 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Plus that arrived a year ago.
Simply put, many consumers are finding their older smartphones to be
snappy enough. Changes in the wireless market in the US are a factor too:
Carriers have essentially done away with two-year contracts, so consumers
may think a little harder about forking over $649 for an iPhone instead of
the subsidized price of $200 they paid up front before.
For the iPhone 6S, those two-year upgraders will be crucial.
"Apple has always really embraced the two-year upgrade cycle, and its
strategy has been to make sure the two-year upgrade is a compelling one,"
Jackdaw Research analyst Jan Dawson said. "Compare the 6S to the 5S,
which is the comparison most would-be buyers will be making, and it'll be a
really significant upgrade."
Apple has said many consumers still need to upgrade their phones, even
though a record of people already jumped at the chance to buy the iPhone
6. According to Kantar Worldpanel, nearly one-third of both US and urban
Chinese iPhone users -- Apple's two biggest markets -- own iPhones that
are at least two years old. If Apple manages to get everyone who hasn't
bought a new smartphone in a couple of years to upgrade, the device to be
unveiled next week could surpass the success of the iPhone 6.
And yes, the iPhone 6S should still command long lines as the Apple
faithful vie to be the first to get the new device on launch day.
But for everyone else, a new iPhone is no longer a must-have item.

Tech giant files a patent application for a built-in fuel cell system

With all the goods that comes from electronic gadgets, it is a common knowledge that battery life is a big issue, a lot of stop gaps has been developed to fix this in different ways and capacities. While a number of different products have been developed for charging
electronics devices, few have taken off. Typically, fuel cells for electronics are
designed for portable charging, in which a person carries a fuel cartridge
that's about the size of a roll of coins and can recharge a smartphone or
music player. But Apple envisions fuel cells built directly into electronics.
The way fuel cells create electricity is by combining a fuel, such as
hydrogen, with an oxidizing agent, like oxygen or air. The technology has
gained increased attention over the past few years because not only could
it replace batteries, it could also be used as an alternative to traditional
fossil fuels, like oil and gas.
While hydrogen is a common source of fuel for the technology, Apple's
patent outlines a number of potential fuel sources, including sodium
borohydride and water, sodium silicate and water, lithium hydride and water,
magnesium hydride and water, among others -- including liquid hydrogen
and compressed hydrogen gas.
This isn't Apple's first patent application for a fuel cell system. In 2011, the
company filed a similar application for such a system for a "portable
computing device." In March, the USPTO published an Apple patent
application for an external fuel cell system to power mobile devices.
This is a significant move to market dominance from the IOS producer.

Stop window 10 persistent update

In essence, automatic updates should be a good thing,
some of them seemed troublesome and create more triubles than ease.
Several issues have already been encountered by users since that time
when Windows Update was launched. These include an unstable graphics
driver which causes the monitor to suddenly switch off, a buggy security
patch which in turn corrupted Windows Explorer and a patch which causes
Windows 10 PCs to crash repeatedly. The said patch is identified as
KB3081424.
During the patch's update process, it would suddenly show a failed warning
before giving out a message to the user. It then says , "We couldn't
complete the updates, undoing the changes." Since there's no way of stopping Windows 10 updates, installing KB3081424 only ends up in a series of system reboots.
Luckily, there are now ways that have been uncovered in order to perpetually avoid the
annoyance brought by such updates type.For users who had the same trouble of installing KB3081424, they can do
these steps in order to get rid of the annoying registry entry.

The Smaller Picture
first need to type "regedit" in the Start menu.
Next, in the opened window, users should navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion
\ProfileList.
Since the task on hand is risky, users should also backup the registry key.
This can be done by highlighting the ProfileList, clicking File and Export and
then choosing a backup name.
The next step is to scan through the ProfileList IDs and then delete those
found with ProfileImagePath.
Lastly, they need to close regedit and then reboot.
If these steps are followed properly, there shouldn't be an issue the next
time that the user tries to install KB3081424.

The Bigger Picture
At least three methods exists that users can choose from in order to
stop this automatic updates on Windows 10. These are mostly applicable to
those updates that are delivered through the Windows Update Service.
The first option is to "Stop the Windows Update Service."
In order to do this, the user should first open the Run command and then
type "services.msc" before pressing the "Enter" key. The Services list would
then appear. From here, the user should find the Windows Update service
and then open it. Under the General tab, the user should change "Startup
Type" into "Disabled." Lastly, he needs to restart his PC.

Re-enabling Windows Update is done using the same steps except in that
part when the user has to change the "Startup Type." In this case, it should
be changed into "Automatic."
The second option is to "Setup a Metered Connection."
The user needs to open the Settings app. Next, he should open the section
called "Network & Internet." Afterwards, he should open "WiFi" and then
click "Advanced Options." Lastly, he needs to look for the words that say
"Set as metered connection" and then toggle it to "On."

The third and last option is the "Group Policy Editor."
The first thing to do is to open the Run command and then type
"gpedit.msc before pressing "Enter." Next step is navigating to these four
areas: Computer Configuration, Administrative Templates, Windows
Components and Windows Update. Upon reaching the latter, the user needs
to open it, look for "Configure Automatic Updates" and change the setting
to "2 - Notify for download and notify for install." Afterwards, the user
should open the Settings app and then navigate to: Update and Security,
Windows Updates. He should then click "Check for Updates" and then
restart his PC.
The Group Policy Editor is only applicable to certain editions such as
Windows 10 Education, Enterprise and Pro. For users who don't have group
policy access, they can do the following steps.

1. Open the Run command and then type "regedit" before pressing "Enter."
2. Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Wi
3. Create a "32-bit DWORD" value called "AuOptions." Under "Value Data,"
type "2" and then click "OK."
4. Open the Settings app and navigate to: Update and Security, Windows
Updates. Click "Check for updates."
5. Restart.

Pls comment if any of this works for you...if ya have uncovered alternatively route paths please do share...thank ya!

1st Microsoft window 10 gadget almost touchable

The phones code named "Cityman" and
"Talkman," will come as Microsoft's first Windows 10 Mobile flagship devices. The
Lumia 950 will reportedly feature a 5.2-inch display, while the 950 XL will
reportedly feature a 5.7-inch display, and both are said to feature the same
1440x2560 resolution.
Microsoft's smaller phone allegedly features a six-core Qualcomm
Snapdragon 808 chip, while leaks indicate its larger sibling will have an
eight-core Snapdragon 810 chip. Both phones are said to have 3GB of
RAM, 32GB of onboard storage, 20-megapixel rear cameras and 5-megapixel
front cameras.
The company has yet to announce an event for their formal unveiling, but
recent reports have indicated Microsoft may reveal the phones alongside its
next Surface Pro tablets and Microsoft Band fitness device sometime in
October or possibly as soon
as late September.

The biggest romance in the tech industry to product an open media that will change Internet video-open source format for video!!

This might be the best the tech industrial complex collaboration ever produced..
What inspired this collaboration might be far fetched for now, but, what the future
Hold for Internet might take a new twist sooner than later....The names are very big
....the outcome...shall come biggest!!!

Some of the biggest names in the tech industry, namely Google, Microsoft,
Mozilla, Amazon, Cisco, Intel and Netflix, are joining together to change
how videos work over the Internet.
The companies formed the Alliance for Open Media, which will look to
develop a new open source format for videos. Included in the companies
are three of the top Internet browser makers in Google, Microsoft and
Mozilla, some of the biggest names that work with online videos in Amazon
and Netflix, and major technology providers in Intel and Cisco. Cisco,
notably, created WebEx, which is one of the most popular tools for holding
teleconferences for businesses worldwide.
However, as tech news website Wired pointed out , Apple, which develops
its own Internet browser in Safari, and Facebook, a growing source for
online videos, are not among the companies that formed the alliance.
Mozilla announced the formation of the alliance through a post on its
official blog, where the company stated that the members of the Alliance
for Open Media joined forces to be able to share technology and to be able
to carry out the necessary patent analysis for the development of a next-
generation, royalty-free codec for videos.
Being royalty-free, companies will be allowed to create software for
recording and converting other videos into the new format without having
to pay any feesThe new format is not yet named, but it will make it simpler for Internet
giants to eliminate their dependence on Adobe Flash for online videos. The
format will be specifically designed to deliver streaming online videos, with
the aim to make the videos suitable for low-powered devices.
The new format will also supposedly feature copy protection support, which
will greatly benefit companies such as Netflix.
Mozilla said that the plan would be to release the standard under Apache
License 2.0, which is perhaps the most permissive among all the open
source licenses currently available, as the license includes the usage of all
relevant patents and also allows the code that is covered to be used for
proprietary and commercial projects.
"Customer expectations for media delivery continue to grow, and fulfilling
their expectations requires the concerted energy of the entire ecosystem,"
said Gabe Frost, the executive director for the alliance.

InterDigital stock dropped 3% has Microsoft wins

The International Trade Commission has ruled that Microsoft did not
infringe on patents by InterDigital. The case is almost eight years old, and is
interesting considering the fact that the patents in question are considered
important to how a smartphone functions.
US ITC Ruling Against InterDigital In 8-Year-Old Microsoft/
Nokia Patent Infringement Case.
Microsoft has now avoided a potentially huge setback to its mobile handset
busines expansion, after the International Trade Commission decided not to block
imports of its devices as part of a long-running patent dispute with
InterDigital.
The decision on Aug. 28 turned back a ruling in April that deemed that
Microsoft had in fact infringed upon two InterDigital patents, a ruling that
would have resulted in a U.S. import ban on Microsoft-made Nokia phones.
The decision is certainly good news for Microsoft, which has been
struggling in its mobile business against the likes of Apple and Google for a
number of years. Of course, the decision isn't so good for InterDigital.
"Today's decision is disappointing but is expected to have a limited impact
on our going-forward business, given the decline of the Nokia mobile device
business under Microsoft's control and its limited market position," said
William J. Merritt, CEO of InterDigital, in a statement. "InterDigital will
continue to seek compensation for past infringement and the further
unlicensed use of our contributions to wireless mobile communication
standards."
Following the decision, InterDigital's stock was down 3 percent. The issue
is amplified because of the fact that the patents owned by InterDigital are
considered essential to how smartphones work. InterDigital says that it will
continue to seek compensation for past infringements.
