Actual Japanese Windows Error Messages Haiku: In Japan, they have replaced the impersonal and unhelpful Microsoft Windows error messages with Haiku poetry messages. Haiku poetry has strict construction rules - each poem has only 17 syllables; 5 Syllables in the first 7 In the second 5 In the third. They are used to communicate a timeless message, often achieving a wistful, yearning and powerful insight through extreme brevity. Here are some actual error messages from Japan: Three things are certain: Death, taxes, and lost data. Guess which has occurred. Printer not ready. Could be a fatal error. Have a pen handy?

April Fools! - The Greatest Corporate Pranks Of All Time With another April Fools’ Day upon us, many of us will be gingerly walking around in the hopes of avoiding the office prankster. However, corporations have also had their share of great April Fools’ Day jokes over the years. In chronological order: 1955 - Contra-Polar Energy (Popular Electronics): Popular Electronics ran an article about a new type of energy, called contra-polar, that would cause electrical devices to produce the opposite effect of what they normally would do. For instance, if applied to a typical lamp, the bulb would cast darkness instead of light. Similarly, if applied to a soldering iron or stove, the devices would grow freezing cold. Contra-polar energy technology was said to have been developed during World War II, but had recently been declassified because of its potential use to the general public. 1957 - Swiss Spaghetti Harvest (British Broadcasting Company): The BBC announced that thanks to a very mild winter and the virtual elimination of the dreaded spaghetti weevil, Swiss farmers were enjoying a bumper spaghetti crop. They also showed footage of Swiss peasants pulling strands of spaghetti down from trees. Large numbers of viewers were fooled. When many called the company wanting to know how they could grow their own spaghetti tree, BBC supposedly replied, "place a piece of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best." 1962 - Instant Colour TV (Sveriges Television): Sweden's Sveriges Television announced that a new technology would allow viewers to convert their existing black and white sets to colour. This was ground-breaking news, since there were no colour TV broadcasts in Sweden at the time. Viewers were told that all they had to do was pull a nylon stocking over their TV screen, and the mesh would cause the light to bend in such a way that it would appear as if the image was in colour. Thousands of people were fooled and tried out the new technique. 1965 - Smell-o-vision (British Broadcasting Company): The BBC broadcast an interview with a professor who supposedly developed an amazing new technology, called "Smell-o-vision", that allowed the transmission of smells over the airwaves. Viewers would now be able to smell aromas produced in the television studio in their own homes because the machine broke scents down into their component molecules which were then transmitted through the screen. He then demonstrated the technology by placing some coffee beans and onions into the Smell-o-vision machine. He asked viewers to report whether they had smelled anything. As would be expected, several viewers called in from across the country to confirm that they had distinctly experienced these scents. Some even claimed that the onions made their eyes water. 1973 - Write-Only Memory (Signetics Corporation): The Signetics Corporation announced the invention of a revolutionary new electronic memory that promised to "improve the quality of life for billions of people who are affected by computer data." As opposed to the common "write-and-read" or "read-only" memories (ROM), they had perfected Fully-Encoded Write-Only Memory (aka WOM). Data could be written to the device, but never read back, thus ensuring Eternally Inaccessible Storage (EIS). 1975 - Metric Time (Australian TV show, This Day Tonight) announced the country would be converting to “metric time.” Metric time would have 100 seconds to the minute, 100 minutes to the hour, and 20-hour days. Seconds would become milliards, minutes become centidays, and hours become decidays. 1980 - A Digital “Big Ben” (British Broadcasting Company): The BBC reported that the iconic clock, Big Ben, was going to be upgraded to be given a digital readout. The report included people's nostalgic reminiscences about the world's most famous clock, such as anecdotes about the day it stopped and when it chimed 13 times instead of 12. Finally, the service announced that the clock hands, being no longer needed, would be given away to the first four listeners to contact them. 1983 - Rain-Deflecting Open Top Car (BMW): BMW announced that one of its engineers, Herr Blöhn, had designed a sunroof that could be kept open even in the rain, thanks to jets of air that blasted the water away from the top of the car. The amazing new system worked completely automatically, even with the roof fully open in a car wash. 1985 - The Great Sidd Finch (Sports Illustrated): George Plimpton famously told the story of Sidd Finch, a mysterious Mets pitching prospect. Finch, a British orphan, purportedly "learned the art of the pitch" from Tibetan monks, throwing 168 miles per hour with uncanny accuracy. Plimpton dropped a few clues into the story, including a sub-headline that spelled out "Happy April Fools' Day" and a quote from the commissioner proclaiming, "I'll have to see it to believe it!" 1992 - Welcome To Chicago (Los Angeles Airport): Los Angeles airport executives created a 85-foot-long yellow banner on the ground that spelled out, in 20-foot-high red letters, "Welcome to Chicago." It was raised above the Hollywood Park race track, which lay directly along the flight path for arriving planes, about three miles from the airport. Anyone arriving into the airport would have probably felt a feeling of panic as they looked out the window and thought they were in the wrong city. 1996 - Liberty Bell Bought (Taco Bell): Taco Bell announced the company's purchase of the Liberty Bell. The announcement read: "In an effort to help the national debt, Taco Bell is pleased to announce that we have agreed to purchase the Liberty Bell, one of our country's most historic treasures. It will now be called the 'Taco Liberty Bell' and will still be accessible to the American public for viewing. While some may find this controversial, we hope our move will prompt other corporations to take similar action to do their part to reduce the country's debt." 1996 - Blue Can Cola Warning (Virgin Cola): Virgin Cola announced that in the interest of consumer safety it had integrated a new technology into its cans to improve consuer safety. When the soft drink passed its expiration date, the liquid reacted with the metal in the can, turning the exterior of the can bright blue. Virgin warned that consumers should therefore avoid purchasing all blue cans. Coincidentally, Pepsi had recently unveiled its newly designed cans which were, of course, bright blue. A brilliant marketing move. 1998 - The Left-Handed Hamburger (Burger King): Burger King announced it was launching a new Whopper burger designed for its left-handed customers, and took out a full-page ads to promote the revolutionary sandwich. The company said the new Whopper would have all its condiments rotated by 180 degrees, "thereby redistributing the weight of the sandwich so that the bulk of them skew to the left" and reducing spills for lefties. 2002 - Whistling Carrots (Tesco): British supermarket chain, Tesco, announced the company's successful engineering of “whistling carrots”. These special carrots had been genetically modified so they would grow with air holes on their sides. When fully cooked, these air holes caused the vegetable to emit a "97 decibel signal" indicating they should be removed from the stove. 2009 - Wolf-Pigeon Hybrids (Qualcomm): Qualcomm announced a bold new method of broadcasting wireless signals - Flying wolf-pigeon hybrids that would bring Wi-Fi around the world. According to Qualcomm, the wolf enhancements were made to pigeons because, "We simply cannot allow our network transmitters to be killed off by feral cats or cold weather." To guard against a wolf-pigeon rebellion, the company also pitched a shark-falcon crossover. And to control the Shark Falcons, in turn, Qualcomm engineers had drafted plans to create a Crocodeagle (crocodile-eagle hybrid). 2009 - Lunar and Martian Hotel Rooms (Hotels.com & Expedia): Hotels.com announced that it would soon be offering affordable rooms on the lunar surface. "We are confident that a stay on the moon will be truly out of this world," the company said. The release advertised rooms starting at 800 British pounds - about $1,200, not including travel costs. Not to be outdone, Expedia.com advertised hotels on Mars starting at $99. 2010 - Plenta And Micra Coffee Sizes (Starbucks): Starbucks announced the addition of two new ridiculous sizes to their lineup: the Plenta (128 fluid ounces) and the Micra (2 fluid ounces) due to what they called "customer request". The company suggested alternative uses for the new cups, such as a rain hat for the Plenta and a kitten dish for the Micra. 2011 - Trademarking "April Fools’ Day" (Groupon): Groupon launched a full website announcing that it had acquired the intellectual trademark to April Fools' Day itself. The website claims it will crack down on patent offenders - i.e., others who try to do April Fools' pranks without their permission - and includes many features, including a fake patent application, a quiz to see if you are an April fool, a prank shop, and a list of planned pranks for the next 20 years. 2011 – Branson Buys Pluto (UK Virgin Group): Virgin Group announced that its founder, Sir Richard Branson, decided to buy the planet Pluto for an undisclosed sum and reinstate it as a planet. Branson is also having a special deep space vehicle built that will help increase Pluto's planetary mass. "Virgin has expanded into many territories over the years, but we have never had our own planet before," said Branson. "This could pave the way for a new age in space tourism." 2012 - Eyeglasses For Dogs (Warby Parker): Eyewear Company Warby Parker claimed it was releasing a dog eyeglasses vertical, appropriately named Warby Barker. Products included such things as a monocle for dogs to make them look more distinguished. For users who fell for the stunt, an "April Fools!" message popped up when they added the $95 doggy glasses to their online shopping cart. 2013 - I’d Like To Buy A Vowel (Twitter): Twitter announced it was changing to a two-tiered service. The free version "Twttr" would not support vowels and only allow tweets with consonants, while "Twitter" would become a $5 per month service that supports any letters your heart desires. "Because our users come first, we believe that 'Y' should always be free to everyone--today and forever," its statement read. "We're doing this because we believe that by eliminating vowels, we'll encourage a more efficient and 'dense' form of communication. We also see an opportunity to diversify our revenue stream." 2014 - Google Gone Wild: Because no April Fools’ story would be complete without several disturbingly well-thought-out pranks from Google we’re including three of the better ones in our roundup (This is just 2014!) Pokémon Challenge: Want a job at Google? All you need to do is hunt down Bulbasaurs, Charmeleon, and other Pokémon creatures hiding in the real world. You’ll also need the Google Maps app on your mobile phone and a working Poké Ball (of course). Google Emoji Translate: Reading is so overrated. Now you can take any web page inside the mobile version of Chrome and translate most of it into smiling blobs and other emotive illustrations. It’s totally :-) Auto-Awesome Hoff Bombs: There’s no photo on the planet that can’t be improved by randomly inserting images of David Hasselhoff. EvenKITT agrees. (What are your favourite pranks. Please share.)

BEWARE iPhone Owners! Your Smartphones Can Be Hacked By Just Connecting To Any Wi-Fi This Hack Bypasses iOS Security With Just A Wi-Fi Connection; Update Your iPhone Now Do you own an iPhone? If yes, beware, as it is possible for hackers to gain access to an iPhone through a Wi-Fi connection, warns a security expert. According to Marco Grassi, the Senior Security Researcher of Keen Lab of Tencent, the hack is known as “remotely compromising iOS via Wi-Fi and escaping the Sandbox” that demonstrates how an iOS device can be remotely exploited by just joining a Wi-Fi network and using it to bypass the iOS Sandbox. “The victim will only have to join the Wi-Fi network, and then the device will be compromised without any user interaction, bypassing all iOS mitigations and sandboxes,” reads a blurb of Grassi’s presentation for the Black Hat Asia hacking conference. Although Grassi has refused to provide any details on how the idea of hack originated or its working, he is expected to reveal the information on his hacking idea at a 50-minute briefing at the Roselle Junior Ballroom in Marina Bay, Singapore on Thursday. The sandbox is designed with the aim to prevent malicious activity on the device by stopping apps from accessing or making any changes to the files. “We will disclose a chain of several vulnerabilities, leading to arbitrary code execution outside of the iOS sandbox and show that the device can be compromised in different ways in the post-exploitation phase,” the blurb added. Apparently, Apple had already fixed the bugs for its iPhone users with the release of iOS 10.2 update in December, reports Forbes. The issue has been made public only in February though. Those users who have not upgraded their OS to the latest iOS update are requested to do so at the earliest to fix the bugs. The issue existed in the WebSheet component of iOS that is used when iPhone owners connect to public Wi-Fi networks that require them to go through a login portal, wrote Apple in its explainer notes. Apple was reportedly not doing enough proof checks to stop malicious code from running when that WebSheet was loaded. “A sandbox escape issue was addressed through additional restrictions,” Apple added, acknowledging Grassi and Trend Micro’s Zero Day Initiative, which rewards researchers for discovering bugs before making it known to tech companies.

April Fools' Day: Origin and History The uncertain origins of a foolish day April Fools' Day, sometimes called All Fools' Day, is one of the most light-hearted days of the year. Its origins are uncertain. Some see it as a celebration related to the turn of the seasons, while others believe it stems from the adoption of a new calendar. New Year's Day Moves Ancient cultures, including those of the Romans and Hindus, celebrated New Year's Day on or around April 1. It closely follows the vernal equinox (March 20th or March 21st.) In medieval times, much of Europe celebrated March 25, the Feast of Annunciation, as the beginning of the New Year. In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII ordered a new calendar (the Gregorian Calendar) to replace the old Julian Calendar. The new calendar called for New Year's Day to be celebrated Jan. 1. That year, France adopted the reformed calendar and shifted New Year's Day to Jan. 1. According to a popular explanation, many people either refused to accept the new date, or did not learn about it, and continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April 1. Other people began to make fun of these traditionalists, sending them on "fool's errands" or trying to trick them into believing something false. Eventually, the practice spread throughout Europe. Problems With This Explanation There are at least two difficulties with this explanation. The first is that it doesn't fully account for the spread of April Fools' Day to other European countries. The Gregorian calendar was not adopted by England until 1752, for example, but April Fools' Day was already well established there by that point. The second is that we have no direct historical evidence for this explanation, only conjecture, and that conjecture appears to have been made more recently. Constantine and Kugel Another explanation of the origins of April Fools' Day was provided by Joseph Boskin, a professor of history at Boston University. He explained that the practice began during the reign of Constantine, when a group of court jesters and fools told the Roman emperor that they could do a better job of running the empire. Constantine, amused, allowed a jester named Kugel to be king for one day. Kugel passed an edict calling for absurdity on that day, and the custom became an annual event. "In a way," explained Prof. Boskin, "it was a very serious day. In those times fools were really wise men. It was the role of jesters to put things in perspective with humour." This explanation was brought to the public's attention in an Associated Press article printed by many newspapers in 1983. There was only one catch: Boskin made the whole thing up. It took a couple of weeks for the AP to realize that they'd been victims of an April Fools' joke themselves. Spring Fever It is worth noting that many different cultures have had days of foolishness around the start of April, give or take a couple of weeks. The Romans had a festival named Hilaria on March 25, rejoicing in the resurrection of Attis. The Hindu calendar has Holi, and the Jewish calendar has Purim. Perhaps there's something about the time of year, with its turn from winter to spring, that lends itself to light-hearted celebrations. Observances Around the World April Fools' Day is observed throughout the Western world. Practices include sending someone on a "fool's errand," looking for things that don't exist; playing pranks; and trying to get people to believe ridiculous things. The French call April 1 Poisson d'Avril, or "April Fish." French children sometimes tape a picture of a fish on the back of their schoolmates, crying "Poisson d'Avril" when the prank is discovered. The first of April some do say, Is set apart for All Fools' Day; But why the people call it so Nor I, nor they themselves, do know… 18th century folk rhyme

A Man and Two Doors - Logic Puzzles A man is trapped in a room. The room has only two possible exits: two doors. Through the first door there is a room constructed from magnifying glass. The blazing hot sun instantly fries anything or anyone that enters. Through the second door there is a fire-breathing dragon. How does the man escape?

Riddle: I Do Love the Holidays - Who Am I? You will know that I am coming From the jingle of my bell, But exactly who I am is not an easy thing to tell. Children, they adore me for they find me jolly, but I do not see them when the halls are decked with holly. My job often leaves me frozen, I am a man that all should know, But I do not do business in times of sleet or ice or snow. I travel much on business, But no reindeer haul me around, I do all my traveling firmly on the ground. I love the time of Christmas, But that's not my vocational season, And I assure that is because of a sound economic reason.

Three Italian nuns die and go to heaven... Three Italian nuns die and go to heaven, where they are met at the Perly Gates by St. Peter. He says, "Ladies, you all led such wonderful lives, that I’m granting you six months to go back to Earth and be anyone you want." The first nun says, "I want-a to be Sophia Loren" and *poof!* she’s gone. The second says, "I want-a to be Madonna" and *poof!* she’s gone. The third says, "I want-a to be Sara Pipalini." St. Peter looks perplexed. "Who?" he says. "Sara Pipalini" replies the nun. St. Peter shakes his head and says "I’m sorry but that name just doesn’t ring a bell." The nun then takes a newspaper out of her habit and hands it to St. Peter. He reads the paper and starts laughing. He hands it back to her and says “No Sister, this says 'Sahara Pipeline laid by 500 men in 7 days!'"

Woman 8 months pregnant got on a bus A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus. She noticed the man opposite her was smiling at her. She immediately moved to another seat. This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again. He seemed more amused. When on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing, she complained to the driver and he had the man arrested. The case came up in court. The Judge asked the man (about 20 years old) what he had to say for himself. The man replied… “Well your Honor, it was like this: When the lady got on the bus, I couldn’t help but notice her condition. She sat under a sweets sign that said, “The Double Mint Twins are Coming” and I grinned. Then she moved and sat under a sign that said “Logan’s Liniment will reduce the swelling”, and I had to smile. Then she placed herself under a deodorant sign that said “William’s Big Stick Did the Trick”, and I could hardly contain myself. BUT, your Honor, when she moved for the fourth time and sat under the sign that said “Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this Accident”..I just lost it. “CASE DISMISSED!!”

Great Scott!

More 'Explicit' Pictures Of Celebrities Leaked In 'Fappening 2.0' A new celebrity photo hacking scandal has erupted in what people are calling the "Fappening 2.0". It follows prior reports of Emma Watson and Amanda Seyfried having had private photos leaked onto the internet. Now several other celebrities have been hit. Some of them allegedly include Rose McGowan, WWE star Paige, Sean Penn's daughter Dylan Penn, Robin Thicke's girlfriend April Love Geary and Zac Efron's ex Sami Miro, among others. The Hacker News reports that others are to follow. "According to a screenshot from an original 4chan thread, unknown hackers will be posting more intimate photos of female celebrities, including Kylie Jenner, Marisa Tomei, Jennifer Lawrence and several others, over the next few days, which indicates it's just the beginning of The Fappening 2.0," they say. "There is yet no information on the source of the leaks or how the personal photos of celebrities were obtained, but the anonymous hackers are claiming that these leaks are just the tip of an iceberg and they're about to release the next batch of celebrities to get their photos leaked." A spokesperson for Watson dismissed the nature of the pictures, saying: "Photos from a clothes fitting Emma had with a stylist a couple of years ago have been stolen. They are not nude photographs. "Lawyers have been instructed and we are not commenting further." The first "Fappening" occurred in 2014. The hackers responsible eventually got sent to prison. Risky business for a couple of naked selfies if you ask me. Who is leaking the images if Fappening hacker is serving a prison sentence? FBI had claimed that the original Fappening hacker was identified and sentenced to 9 months in jail. Edward Majerczyk, 29, from Illinois, Chicago has confessed to hacking the iCloud accounts of Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Upton, Kaley Cuoco and Kirsten Dunst among others. Majerczyk said that he had hacked nearly 300 celebrity iCloud accounts using phishing and leaked the explicit celebrity images. Majerczyk was found guilty by a US Court and is currently serving the sentence. So this brings us to the question of who is behind the latest iCloud nude image leaks of Emma Watson, Mischa Barton, Amanda Seyfried. Are we to believe that the FBI and authorities were not able to arrest some unknown partners of Majerczyk. Or is another hacker group behind the latest iCloud hackers and Fappening 2.0. Mind you, many members on 4Chan have suggested that the current leaked images and videos are from a private collector’s album. But the question remains! Was Majerczyk really behind the Fappening 1.0? Was Majerczyk alone in his hacking adventures? Or there were some partners who have still not been identified by the authorities. The clue to this come only in coming weeks. Because, earlier during the Fappening 1.0, the iCloud hackers released a tranche of images every Friday on 4Chan and Reddit. If the current Fappening 2.0 images are leaked next week, we can safely assume that a new hacker group is behind the latest iCloud hacks. If not, we can deduce that the images and videos currently leaked are from the previous Fappening hack. How To Keep Your Private Photos Private If you are looking for the best way to keep your photos off the Internet, the simplest solution to this is — Don't click them. But if you do so, there are a few steps that you can follow to minimize the risk: Do not click on any suspicious links or attachments in the email you received. When in doubt, contact the sender to confirm that he or she actually sent the email to you or not. Never provide your personal or financial information through an email to anyone. No service, be it Google, Apple, or Microsoft, ever asks for your password or any other sensitive personal information over an email. It's always a good idea to regularly update your passwords and security questions. Enable two-factor authentication on your accounts and always choose a strong and different password for all your accounts. If you are unable to create and remember different passwords for each site, you can use a good password manager.

Don't Install Any App To View Leaked Fappening Images — It's a Malware! The latest scams spreading on Twitter read: "VIDEO: WWE Superstar Paige Leaked Nude Pics and Videos" "Incredible!!! Leaked Nude Pics and Videos of WWE Superstar Paige!!!!: (Accept the App First)" For accessing the content, scammers told you to first install a twitter app called "Viral News." In the hope of a glimpse of Paige's nude video, victims tricked into giving the malicious app permission to access their Twitter account, update their profile and post tweets on their behalf. Once the app is installed, you are then sent to a site that serves no purpose other than enabling crooks to make money from affiliate marketing and advertising link clicks. The site quickly grays out, asking you to click yet another link that eventually lands you on a survey page that promises to reward you with an Amazon gift card as soon as you hand over your details. "Suffice to say, filling this in hands your personal information to marketers – and there is no guarantee you will get any pictures at the end of it," said Chris Boyd, a malware intelligence analyst at Malwarebytes. Malware Hijacks Twitter Accounts to Spread Fappening Spam While you are looking through all these links, the creepy app spams out the same tweets from your account, leading your followers to the same The Fappening 2.0 scam you fell for. So far nearly 7,000 users have become a victim of the latest scam. "As freshly leaked pictures and video of celebrities continue to be dropped online, so too will scammers try to make capital out of image-hungry clickers. Apart from the fact that these images have been taken without permission so you really shouldn’t be hunting for them, anyone going digging on less than reputable sites is pretty much declaring open season on their computers," Boyd concluded. Here are some useful tips you can follow in an effort to protect yourself from scams shared through social media: Don't take the bait. Stay away from promotions of "exclusive," "shocking" or "sensational" photos or footage. If it sounds too outlandish to be true, it is probably a scam. Hover over links to see their real destination. Before you click on any link, mouseover the link to see where it'll take you. Do not click on links leading to unfamiliar sites. Don't trust your friends online. It might not actually be your friends who are liking or sharing scam links to photos. Their account may have been hijacked by scammers. Raise your Eyebrows when asked for something in return. Beware of any site that asks you to download and install software in order to view anything else, in this case, nude photos and videos of Paige. This is a known tactic of spreading scam.
