36,000 Verizon Workers Go on Strike

This is the largest strike in the United States since Verizon workers last walked off the job in 2011, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. That strike involved 45,000 workers. Most of the striking workers service the company's landline phone business and FiOS broadband network which is not the much larger Verizon Wireless network. They have gone without a contract since August, and their union, the Communication Workers of America, says it is fighting to get Verizon to come to the table with a better offer. The union's list of complaints is a long one: Verizon has outsourced 5,000 jobs to workers in Mexico, the Philippines and the Dominican Republic. Verizon is hiring more low-wage, non-union contractors, the union says. This is not good news if you are apart of Verizon.

Making technology think for itself is a very hard process and includes very high levels of mathematics to do so. This project is still very secret but if you would like to read more click here

Plugging in this date will permanently crash your iPhone! Do not attempt this since your iPhone will turn into a brick and never work again. Plugging in the date January 1st 1970 and resetting your iPhone will not give you access into the device ever again. The reason behind this bug in the phone is that the phone cannot function with January 1st 1970. This is because the unix time for that date is 00:00:00 which the iPhones today cannot handle.

The quality of your USB charging cables are very important now a days. The main concern with gadgets such as phones and ipads are with its battery life.

• Read the reviews. Leung is taking a very scientific approach to the testing of USB-C cables, but it's worthwhile checking out the reviews for any cables (or adapters or chargers) you're thinking of buying.

This is Hugo Teso giving a speach.

An app for hijacking an airplane? Some people ask if this is even possible,  Hugo Teso says yes. Hugo Teso is a security analyst and a licsenced pilot and he has developed an app for your iphone that could take over the controls of the plane. This app would change the communication from the tower and change the cordinates to the flight. The software that the app has will change the criptic data being recieved by the plane and can change where the he wants the plane to land. What that means is that the app can change where the plane is going to go or land.

Spring Break

Over the spring break all I did was baseball. Whether it was practice or a game, I had baseball everyday during spring break. Our record is 1 win and 2 loses. We should be 3 and 0 but, we totally threw away the first two games. We made to many errors and just couldn't score to come back. Then I went to New York yesterday and ate food. It was a great weekend.

The recent barrage of high-profile cyberattacks has put many companies on edge, but it has also been a boon for developers of new security tools. The "next-generation firewalls" are particularly hot. Traditional firewalls filter out harmful data and pass along legitimate ones. The new breed looks at software applications coming into a corporate network and not only passes out dangerous ones but grants workers a lot of more permissions to use certain apps.
