What's bothering me is they FLASH me a request that wants me to download Win 10 around 10 times a day, browser open browser closed it doesn't matter. That is getting on my nerves!!
ok i got some news for you about windows 10. everybody already knows it spies on you, but did you know that it psychoanalyzes you too? it's true.
it took me a while to figure it out, but it is like those rorschach tests they used to give you in high school where the guidance counselor takes you to the psychiatrist visits and they show you those inkblot pictures and ask you what you think to decide if the thorazine is working or if maybe they should go back to the ritalin. everybody remembers those, right?
except they trick you by first giving you this crappy selection of about 6 screenlock images to start with on initial software install knowing you'll only kind of like any of them but are too busy to figure out how to download a picture of your favorite cat, then every few days they send you more and you have to click on like or dislike before you can get to the enter your password screen. after a while it starts to learn if you like loud busy cityscapes or quiet snowcapped peaks. and then it keeps refining the images it sends for your choice. they even thank you for your feedback and pretend to be genuinely interested in your help to make windows better and it makes you feel special at first but after a while you realize you are being mined and they mainly want to figure out how to appeal to your fears so they can get more money out of you. i am not going to tell you exactly what pictures they send me now, but i definately know they got me dialed in by now.
it doesn't really bother me that my amazon.com shopping history and at&t cell phone plan and whether i like pepperoni or ham on my pizza and porn preferences and where i browse for korean wives is out there on the interweb, that happens to everybody. but if they know intimately what pictures bring me peace and dole them out to me on a 3-day timer budget, i think that is going a bit too far. now bill gates and his minions know i am a sick freak. and even that still doesn't bother me much, but how they went about it i do find irritating. i would have just told them if they asked, no need to trick me.
oh well, i guess it's too late now, no use crying over spilt milk, but maybe the rest of you should know about this.

Pizza order helped lead authorities to 'affluenza' teen, mother | Fox News
they were probably running windows 10 on their devices.A cellphone used to order pizza helped lead authorities to the whereabouts of a teen fugitive known for using an "affluenza" defense and his mother in a Mexican resort town this week.
According to a police report issued by the Jalisco state prosecutors' office, Ethan and Tonya Couch used one of their phones to order Domino's Pizza for a room at a condominium in the beach city of Puerto Vallarta. A U.S. Marshals Service agent tipped authorities in Mexico about the location of the phone on Monday.

silly rabbit, everybody knows you can't run windows 10 on your phone, yet. that's a misnomer.
but here is how the system works: one of them fugitives before they fled had a computer at home running windows 10, which automatically makes it very convenient to connect through your wifi to all the great treasures of the digital world and also to connect with all other devices in range which could be your potential friends, or enemies they never quite say. and it logs those connections, and purchases and likes and peeks.
later if they want to find you and you screw up and order pizza and one of those nodes on your recorded network activates, they got you. probably knew about where you were anyways and saturated the local market with dominos pizza ads because junior likes two pepperoni and jalapeno mediums and mom can't resist the sweet and spicy wings on sale. so they run the special where they know you will see it, you can't hardly avoid the temptation after eating street tacos for two weeks your mouth waters until you can't stand it so you log in with your silent smart phone and order your usual. ding dong. pizza is here. got you.
you can run all you want, but they will be waiting for you at the edge of the cliff. maybe even send the hounds to chase you there. yay cloud computing! got you already, every single one of you. just a matter of when is the optimal time to draw the noose. dance baby dance. that is how they caught affluenza teen. only took a couple weeks, but they had them dead nuts from the minute they broke and made a run for it.
the really funny part of this story is that mexican authorities caught, detained, and now are going to deport u.s. illegal immigrants. ha! now that is rich!
