The song, Lightning Crashes, as sung by Live, has always been known as the Bad Luck song by myself & Ben, my friend back home. Every time we heard this song randomly, something bad would happen. It didn’t work if we specifically played it. But if it happened to come on the radio (in heavy [...]

Typhoon (now Tropical Depression) Krosa came through much closer than Wipha ever did, dumping tons of rain & knocking down the 50 or so scooters parked outside our apartment’s main gates.

Why are hacked iPhone users upset that their iphone no longer works? You had a legitimate iPhone with legitimate software. You took your software and hacked it to run a different network. Apple updated their LEGITIMATE software so their LEGITIMATE software would work better, and your phone got “Bricked”. Where is the problem here? Don’t [...]
