Vodafone The Top Mobile Phone Providing Network



Vodafone is one of the top mobile phone providers around the world these days. Vodafone operates in over 30 countries around the globe. Today there are over 403 million users that have subscribed to Vodafone's network.  Little is known about Vodafone here in the United States but actually Vodafone used to own 45% of Verizon Wireless which is very well known here but was later bought out by the world's leading mobile company just recently on 2 September 2013. Verizon Communications acquired the rest of its stake that Vodafone had in the competitive mobile phone market for a whopping $130 billion dollars. Wow I wish I had some of that, might have to invest in some stocks.

Nissan Rolls Out With Its Newest Beast



Nissan has done it once again with its newest beast of a racing car, the ever popular Nismo race inspired version of the GT-R will make a full 600 horsepower. Not far behind is the base 2-seater version which won't be left in the dust by the Nismo version will have about 50 horsepower less than its popular twin.

The 2015 Nissan GT-R's specs will put out a whopping 595 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque. 0 - 60 MPH testing has been on the hush but Im sure this awesome car is pretty dang fast. This was one of my favorite cars to use in the ever popular Gran Turismo franchise on the Playstation gaming system. Pricing is set to be around $200,000 for this sexy car. My son loves the look of this car, he calls it racing car :)

Windows 8.1 Screen Dim



I recently updated to the new operating system by Microsoft from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. I'm still really not sure what the difference actually is except the start button appears back in the toolbar and there are supposedly more apps in the Windows store. I have noticed that my laptop screen has changed some settings and the screen appears to dim and brighten itself. I found this to be really annoying so I have found the solution for this. Hopefully it doesn't cause many headaches for everybody else.

You can disable this feature which can be really annoying, I was starting to think I should get my eyes checked. This is also a known annoyance in Windows 8 too, I just probably haven't noticed it due to changing my power settings awhile back.

To disable the auto brightness feature in Windows 8
  • Open the control panel by moving the mouse to the lower right corner which will pop up the charm menu
  • Click on the settings charm
  • Open up the control panel
  • Click on System and Security
  • Click Power Options
  • Adjust your power plan by changing the power settings

International Space Station accidentally infected with Malware



The International Space Station has been accidentally infected by a Russian cosmonaut by the infamous Stuxnet computer virus via USB stick. Eugene Kaspersky, a Russian security expert known for the Kaspersky antivirus program, said that the Stuxnet virus infected a nuclear power plant in Russia "badly damaging their internal infrastructure as well as the International Space Station (ISS). Details are little on how badly the virus affected the ISS operations. Seriously how can somebody even do that?? Shouldn't these astronauts know better since they do have security clearances for this.

The stuxnet virus was alledgedly jointly created by the US and Israeli military forces to seriously damage Irans ongoing nuclear program. Come on smart people how can you infect a space station with some malware, Do you not practice information systems security??? I think we should go clear the virus out for them because they apparently don't know what they are doing unless it was intentionally put there.
