WINDOWS HATE PART ELEVENTY

Well here we go again!

You know I think that people in power and with far too much money are just so fecking stubborn that it is going to take something drastic for them to stand to attention like someone had just shoved smelling salts deep into their nostrils?!

Now in computing I have always been with the Windows camp of Operating Systems exceptor when it's mobile devices, well apart from the first smartphone which was Windows Mobile, sorry Apple no way before your iPhone. Since then my next stint was with Android OS and this was followed by three more. Only now I am wanting to move week away from Android add they are slowly ruining the operating system. I also won't waste the huge suns they charge for magazines now because the reviewers seem to be way off the mark for one reason our another?!

Just today I bought Micro Mart magazine after it failing to materialize write bizarrely last week! Several visitors to two major stores over several days and a couple of weekly magazine failed to arrive! The stores were Sainsburys and WH Smith and that was the bizarre part. Anyway today I bought it because it talked about a APU processor codenamed Kaveri and compared it with an Intel Haswell chip, yes there is a processor with my family name just add there is an amphibian thigh I do not know why, Lol. In the article though it praised the Kaveri APU it completely failed to talk about, therefore consider, two of the major technologies involved with Kaveri. Technologies that will be used due to the fact they exist in the Microsoft XBox One and PS4.

So incomplete is one thing I have noticed about reviews in recent times, biased is another with one magazine that is in contrast to that of the magazine's primary focus which includes gaming and the very sane chip. They are biased and have now been priced wrong by several reviewers on YouTube and various sites. What they champion is two other chips by two different companies which you have to pay more for for each one to get the same result in gaming.

Bear in mind this dues bit even take into account the clever technologies included in the cheaper chip, nor is the fact that for another 70 quid you can add to the having power quite significantly and that those that they suggest you buy you will so absolutely no visual difference in gaming for your extra cash.

Stupid and amateurish and bizarrely biased is what it is.

Therefore when I walk into Sainsburys and am tempted to buy a technology magazine which were two quid years ago and now 6 quid or more I think that I will get it gone and dot many things missing from reviews and many things missing in group tests two! No question mark at the end of that last sentence because I came home with two magazines, one is a note expensive one called PC Format, and found this to be true in both! In fact at the end of the section of a Solid State Disk Drive group test they even knew their group test was way incomplete and have excuses at the end for some of their inclusions as well as some of their omissions!

If you do this, using the excuse of things not arriving in time, then you are not fully informing your readers. For the cover prices charged this is abysmal! Don't do it, it's as simple as that!

These days I tend to read reviews on Amazon and look for items that have a large number of reviews that have several tens of review but preferably several hundred. The higher the reviewers with the overall high score then the more assured you can be that this is an ace product and all you have to worry about is the price!

Again I was talking to a local friend about this and the fact that even today I still get people looking at year old videos of my faulty cameras sold to me as new and leave comments the same has happened to them?!

Then I pointed out that if you think about it if people are still coming across videos and posts that are over a year old then this shows how the more I add in content the higher the wetly and monthly figures rise. He then realised how the blogs and my YouTube account have the potential now to be huge and therefore being able to reach and help a lot of people.

I always tell people that you cannot reach everyone. There will always be naive idiots that simply cannot see the wood for the trees, well until their friends read it and see the truth and then call them idiots down the pub?! Lol!

I have also complained about Android and even now I cannot believe the mistakes it makes in my typing and places in words whereby many letters I did not go anywhere near or stop inside the key square while typing! What is worse if that when I do realise it has made a mistake I highlight it and then it immediately offers me the correct word I did type out and it's like it does it deliberately to drive you crazy?!

Sometimes I think that Erik The Viking Schmidt has done trusted sense of humor and that now that he thinks that Google and Android will just continue to rocket Android is coded to drive you bonkers!! It never used to do this back in the Gingerbread days! Today I have two products miles apart and yet they have the same issues! I mean how can the software immediately ignore the keys you stopped on and instead insert a word where several of the letters you did not even go anywhere near?!

It is so utterly amateurish I could not do it justice! Also text formatting had become a problem and several are incompatible! Blogger in Chrome is incompatible with the formatting with bold, italic and even line spacing with WordPress! It gets worse too because the Blogger App is also incompatible with Blogger itself, it's own bloody service and removes line spacing, making posts look utterly amateurish and messy and much if the time loses keywords too! A common one is inserting petiole every single time I type people!! Every single time on both my Advent Tetra Note Tablet and Moto G phone and both use the same version of Android, Kitkat?!

I could not use iOS, I just couldn't. So I think of ditching mobile phones completely as I do not really make calls and only one person I know phones me on a semi regular basis. I primarily use them for Internet tethering for my laptop and I am not going to get started on how utterly shit the mobile networks are! The best signal as my home is still crap and that is Three!! Impossible as it sounds I have been unable to get a signal here string enough fur broadband and neither have visitors who have phones with everyone else! I am the only one I know on Three, weird add they also are the only ones that offer unlimited Internet and on oat add you go too!

So then we are back to landlines as well as Windows H8, sorry I mean 8! Lol!

Here is an operating system that is utterly dreadful. For me it is simply a hand arsed attempt at an operating system. Write what they were thinking I do not know. I did not like the tiling in any device but on a large monitor it was madness. I did not mind this really add I thought well I wok just put it on classic mode. Except despite Windows 7 having an utterly gorgeous design this was more or less binned!! What the feck was Steve Balmer on when they did this I have now idea!

Oddly another thing that has driven me nuts with Windows is that not only is it by far the most expensive operating system out there, many are actually free you know, but that for your money you get an operating system that refuses to play with others and lies to your as to why, absolutely shit when it comes to getting hacked, viruses and adware but for your money it somehow managed to be very good at spying on you and handing over your details?!

Only the fecking stupid American government could do that and I knew that fecking about with a system that is used around the world would not end well. What I don't get is how those that work for the company don't out their foot down as this stuff coming out well mean curtains, oh yeah they are naive idiots I forgot!

Now despite the fact I do like Windows, though not any of the 8s, and have no choice but to use it anyway currently and hoping that Windows 9, or another update to 8, outs things back the way they were, I am going to state something that will surprise.

I actually think that the best thing in the world that can happen is for Microsoft to go bust!!

There I said it!

Why, I hear you ask? Well because the company had been going for long enough, wait for it, had for big enough and had an envious monopoly most companies dream about that by going bust by their own stupidity, completely using and back stabbing their users it will cause something to happen. Every single owner of every big company and every single lazy, naive and incompetent board member wool realised that not only can you not do this with your paying customer base but that if it can happen to Microsoft with the heights they reached then no company is safe and you cannot take your position as a given or customers for granted!

Even recently only a month ago a computer journalist, in PC Pro I think it was, said that the only way that Microsoft would survive to come back to the fore it will have to release the Home Premium, ' Premium' Lol premium what, for free! I believe he was correct in his assumption and has a good finger on the pulse of the varying technologies out there.

What makes this worse is that not only are their dozens of operating systems based on a more efficient core (kernel) but a well known and respected (for now) name suddenly announced their own operating system which has got computing fanatics like me salivating at the mouth at the possibilities!

I can assure you right now that Microsoft week be shitting themselves over this and so will Sony! Do a search on either Steam Box or Stream Machine, as Valve prefer to call them, and you wool see some very nice compact and stylish conjurers in a small form factor that are in essence games consoles! I have read many people on forums taking about either buying one or building your own and the Operating System, called Steam OS, week be completely free!

If I went to build a PC today I have to factor in the price of Windows and now knowing fur a fact it is coded to work against you, will refuse to work with certain technologies, wool let everyone hack it, be slow before too long and because it's spying on me and sending my details to God knows who?!

So yeah they are in deep shit and thigh they are concerned I can assure both you the readers and then that they are bit concerned enough! Their complete move over to cloud based software instead of client owned and based software is another time bomb.

Trust me Microsoft why would I want to rely on an Internet connection and pay a monthly subscription to use office?!

Libre Office and Open Office are both free and mite or less equal to your professional editions of office and I am amazed out how many people are not aware of this. But these facts are slowly becoming nitre widely known.

You see they also forget that computer boffins like myself get she'd things by others all the time. Even when I was at university computers were owned by very few people. In my own family only one other member owned a PC. He unfortunately died and yet today three people own one half a dozen own smart phones and all my friends have a PC. They ask me, I tell them and they tell others and mostly done using the Internet!

One of these days they will wake up and smell what they have been shoveling add it's been shoved back on their own doorstep. I only wish it does not take the demise of Microsoft for others to realise this and Microsoft refuse their pitfalls before it's too late.

What I find utterly astounding is that the man that created this bloody mess in Microsoft has now fecked off and now bought a fecking basket ball team!!

I am afraid everyone wants to make as much money as they can in a short a time add they can. The unfortunate part about this is that things that make people like us happy and hungry for more ends up with a body long wait add they have nitre money than God and are then ripped off and heart broken because the new version or indeed the follow up is half arsed piece of junk and we feel ripped off. Spend a week looking and reading different forums on the Internet and you will see that a great many millions of people have felt like this at one pint or another!

Oddly I am not like that. I might be able to prove this as done point in the next twelve months or so but if I suddenly came into money I would not sup being creative, innovative, informative or just helpful to one thing or another or indeed one cause or another. I have to keep busy working on something or the other.

Lol, a shame there are not a rest many people like me, and maybe like you?

Lol!

THE DUMB OPERATING SYSTEMS

I think I am going to walk away from Google's Android Operating System. It just seems to be slowly becoming a horrible place to be!

As some of you know I bought three Advent Tegra Note 7 Tablet PC Computers. One for me and two on behalf of friends as presents for their two girls. Well I already had to replace one of the two given for a new one which were given out as Christmas presents and now I have the second one in my home and I will be exchanging it when I return it tomorrow?!

Starting to wonder now when my one will give up the ghost?!

But regardless of this nor peering on my mind I am having other issues!

Google Play has gone from being interesting and exciting to browse to a pain in the arse I really am getting more and more feed up with using!!!

First of all there are an absolute myriad of shit on their and I do mean shit! I have list count of the number of things I have downloaded that do not work, nothing like their description and died not do what it says on the tin!! Then there are the fecking games that are just plain greedy and preying on that gaming urge that is a primary instinct in us all! In app purchases is what I am getting at!

That is of course after all the utter shite you click on because the picture looks cool, mainly suggesting a first person shooter with console class graphics, only to see the screenshots and think ' what the FECK is this shit, it looks like the old days of 8 BIT gaming?!'

Of course yeah that is why I searched for something with an nVidia Tegra 4 processor so that I can play 1980s games and gear up the planet with all the wasted extra power?! Lol!.

I also got a an App Shifter and that is what it is actually called, unless your looking at it on Google Play then it's called something fecking else entirely. I moved a few dozen apps including some big games. Only lately I have been clicking in things and being told it is not installed?!

This happened with an app I bought, OfficeSuite Pro, because Quick Office is now crap because Google got ahold of it and I paid a tenner fit that too!! Only I have just realised that my documents in this app are NOT BEING SAVED TO GOOGLE DRIVE?!

For the love of a fecking GOD!!

Then tonight I realised that my new game I was playing of GT RACING 2 (real racing it states) had also give missing?! I then opened App Shifter only to click on SD Card apps to see just TWO!! TWENTY TWO would be closer!!

Then there is the game itself, ever since I bought something IN-APP things went downhill... FAST!!

I ended up with a Toyota GT85 II. Only straight away I was having difficulties and found that I had to drift to stand any chance of going around a bend and stating competitive with race leaders!! I thought that maybe some upgrades would since this. This was also because other cars were rounding bends perfectly level and without drifting! I ended up maxing the upgrades to the car without realising and things remained the same. Also despite being maxed out I was being offered upgrades before each race?!

Also I was seemingly spinning out each time someone touched me which was not happening to them and added to this they were never spinning out. Then there is the old positions remain the same syndrome within the race energy your the only one ever doing any overtaking or even being overtaken?!

Another common thing is never getting higher than 8th after several attempts on one track and then getting first in the next race at the first go?!

Some tracks feels as if my tyres are manufactured using ice while others not quite so bad. Maybe cardboard, lol.

The last updated, like the other two, have made absolutely no fecking difference to Android and added to this the swipe keyboard is still substituting words whereby you got it spot on but it offers you not only the WRONG WORD but often not even one that starts with the same letter?! You know the...letter...that... you... touched... on... first... which... you... would... not... make... a... mistake with!!!

If your going to scree up the coding at least get the wetting word that starts with the correct letter for Christ sakes?!

If I was Eric Schmidt and I had some Android OS as a business solution I would be crapping my pants right about now!!

So I am getting extremely feed up with Google and Android.

Only the alternatives are crap!

Sorry Apple I know you would like many to think that your system is great but that it's not doing well because the rest of the world is voting and infringing, but no!

I simply never realised just how bland the iOS was until I had a few weeks to mess around with one. Also I hate iTunes as it is also bland and on Windows it is good awful slow! Mac OS is much better as an OS to look at and use!

Maybe Jason Bradbury was not plugging Microsoft's Surface 2 dye to sponsorship?

But then where Google and Android have a problem with being far too laid back and open Microsoft are the polar opposite and doggedly sticking to their closed system which would not be that bad if not for preventing a number of other people coding browsers for their system!

My mate had the options of IE and UC?! No Safari, Dolphin, Chrome, Firefox or any others either.

So one choice is far too bland and boring added to way over expensive in Apple.

Another is far too awkward, butt ugly and closed system with not many apps or choices with Microsoft.

Lastly you have far too many choices, too unstable, far too many so issues and lazy or incompetent coding with Google.

Now what annoys me is that any one of these could read this and realise that they could alter their system to stand head and shoulders above the other two?!

However I will wager that they won't!

Or maybe one of the many others I have been hearing about will rise like a Phoenix from the flames and keep above the other two?!

If it is the latter paragraph I got they then do not just become the fourth arsewipe in a long list of arsewipes?! If it is greedy shareholders that come along then suddenly decide that they know better than the inventors... well get them to read this oust and I will tell them to shut the feck up and go back and crawl under the rich from whence they came!

In the meantime I can only hope that things improve and I suspect now that it just might be the big 'M' as they are already working to replace the travesty that was Windows 8, with Windows 9 of whatever it ends up being called?

SPYING FALLOUT FOR MICROSOFT

Well this in interesting as I did not expect to see anything like this taking place.

This is partly because taking anyone to court who are located overseas is notoriously expensive. A solicitor's husband I used to know once said I would need £75,000 of my own cash to fund it before I could seriously consider the option.

But then it never occurred to me that because they have offices here then of course you could do this weighty the huge possible costs. Thus is the second time in the last few months of people, as supposed to companies, taking Microsoft to court. The last time a small group of Spanish IT chaps over the fact the Microsoft quite deliberately coded Windows 8, also applies to Windows 7 see my video on YouTube, so that it REFUSED to install if it discovered a Linux OS (operating system like Windows) in the vicinity. However not only did it scan for it without telling you it also lies to you regarding the reason it cannot install. I do not know what Windows 8 tells you but Windows 7 tells you there is no compatible hard disk available to install. Oddly enough there WAS plus it was to be installed on a newly formatted hard disk separate from that which Linux was installed on! It failed to install several times with the same message. Guessing the problem I removed door on laptop underside where the Linux hard disk was located and set up the camera. I started filming, attempted to install Windows 7 which it failed to do and without paying the camera I turned the laptop over, popped out the SATA lead to Linux drive. Turned laptop back over attempted to install Windows again and hey presto, my invisible hard drive magically reappears!

Considering that Windows costs money and Linux dies not this is a terrible practice and attitude to adopt. The fact that it is vastly expensive to buy Windows and they programmed it to do this and lure to you is a complete piss take off their customers.

So forgive me Microsoft but your statements about being 'forced' to spy on your customers as utter codswallop. This sudden urge to campaign for tighter laws is only to deceive your customer base too. So many companies just cannot help themselves but lie these days! It is like taking part in some TV series or film about an apparent utopian future which is based on control. Some people really do believe they are of some higher calling than the rest of us. No wonder those with fragile minds believe that countries or the planet is run by Reptilian like being masquerading as humans! They do behave like they are of a more advanced species than we. Yeah... about that... not from what I have seen and heard your not, quite the opposite in fact.

Dumb arses!

I do not keep track of these things as I should, never have the time out energy to chase them down. Instead I rely on a couple of apps that fed major news stories from around the globe and in particular fields and subjects of my choosing to my devices. These are first off Pulse and secondly Flipboard. Oddly these work and behave very differently depending on devices and operating system version. I use Flipboard more on my tablet and Pulse on my phone. Flipboard works really badly on the phone and Pulse but so well on the tablet. Everything works like crap on Apple's iOS, unfortunately.

Before fanboys start harping like beleaguered Beagles on heat I am sorry but crap home screen, no widgets and the back button is in the top left corner making single handed navigation a pain in the rear. Apple device has now been relegated to being not used at all. Not even music add charting with my brother and trying out headphones I realised that by giving music listening duties to the Apple instead of the Sony Walkman and Fiio Mobile Amplifier/DAC I lost quite a but of audio quality.

Note there are some very good reasons why Apple odd losing ground, not fire being copied when the only possible thing they could have created on their phones is the Accelerometer, or Gyroscope, albeit it only an electronic version. But then that would be like Google suing everyone for hosting blogs because they bought the original blog host. Well IF they did that is. Well they might have done I just do not know. Oddly I hated the sound of blogs when they first appeared and could not see myself hiding my own blog in a million years.

Was about eight or ten in reality! Lol.

Microsoft have also screwed up at the worst time to with Windows 8 and all because of Valve, people behind the Half Life games. They have created their own operating system based on Linux and called Steam OS. The worst time because Linux versions have been many over the years and ranged from bloody awful to just awful. Despite what fanatics may tell you. After all, all versions are free and have been fur over ten years. But they have never threatened Windows in all that time. Despite what some native idiot stated on one of my Ubuntu videos on YouTube.

If you want to spend your time endlessly tinkering to get your PC working better, working faster or just plain working then fine. But those that praise an OS when much of the time it dies not just install correctly first, second or third attempt plus are....just wrong fit want of a better and quite derogatory term, Lol.

An OS should just work... THE END. If you then want to endlessly fool around with optimising and settings among other things then great.

An OS should also be able to play or run at least half of the software you run on Windows. It dies not and yet there is an even older running OS which is also inexpensive that does and also based on Unix. You don't know of one? Why is Apple's OS X.

Oddly enough if Steam OS does not blow us all away I may have to end up with a rotten apple?! Brrrrr!

Still I give Apple their due, they do make some very nice laptops and screens. Even if all there gear is stupidly expensive.

MORE DETAILS ON MICROSOFT AND NSA

Well here is a webpage that had more derails to do with the during that Microsoft had been doing for the National Security Agency.

Well it was stating us in the face and I am so disappointed in myself I did not gutted this was going on around 6 years back or more?!

God I can be a right numpty at times and when I first read about Steve Ballmer I should have realised immediately?! When I first during hearing him do his speeches I should have picked up that the stomach churning was trying to tell me something was not right, lol
