I hate stupid drivers, I can't seem to escape them

Utterly ridiculous! Today was the third time I have encountered a vehicle where a stupid driver was driving dangerously this past week alone. I do get angry when I see bad driving. Those drivers cutting up and speeding should know that causing road rage is not fame. Like it or not, the whole world knows you as idiots have seen. Unless you live in hell, you should know the main causes of accidents is because of drink driving, careless driving and speeding. I have been a fan of motorsports since childhood but seeing “buffoons” turning public roads to formula one circuits is not funny at all. These kind of idiots are eroding efforts to making road travel safer for all of us.   Reckless driving seems to be a major problem that many drivers have been perpetrating with impunity.

Review: Google's Inactive Account Manager

I used to ask myself what will happens to Contador Harrison Gmail, YouTube and Google+ accounts when I die.

I can imagine my close friends and family members accessing my confidential Google Drive documents, blog posts that I have been blogging, emai

PC shipments shrink at record rate

In two separate reports on global PC business, it is clear that we are in post PC era. First, IDC said global PC shipments declined 13.9 percent to 76.3 million units in the first three months of the year, from 88.6 million the previous year, the fourth consecutive quarter of year-on-year shipment declines and the steepest quarterly decline since 1994. This means that Global PC shipments suffered their biggest-ever contraction last quarter. IDC report showed declines across all regions on an annual basis and it is clear PCs had become a less attractive alternative to tablets and other mobile devices because of the new operating system’s radical changes to the user interface and the removal of the familiar Start button, as well as the rising costs associated with touch facilities. IDC said the reduction in PC shipments last quarter was not a surprise due to the declining attraction of PCs for consumers. In the other research, Gartner Inc also revealed that global
