Mobile Phones are great, until using them makes you sick. "Buried in their user manuals, cell phone companies specifically instruct us that phones should not be held close to the body." http://showthefineprint.org/ Published on Feb 20, 2016 Presentation by Dr. Devra Davis.

Facebook alerted me of a security issue regarding my password. Curious that the massive Microsoft Windows 10 update happened recently. I want my Windows 7 Professional back... :-(

I hate the latest Microsoft Windows 10 update. Its made sharing posts on Facebook from websites hard - post button out of reach. Changing the size of the window won't work - just bounces back to full height of the laptop screen - nothing works. I eventually need to paste the post directly onto my wall - CTRL A to select all - the CTRL V to paste it into your own wall post and doing the same with the URL. Maybe Microsoft and Facebook don't like each other ( ;-) )

Verizon 'agrees $5bn Yahoo deal' - BBC News

In 2008 #Microsoft offered $44bn for #Yahoo. #Verizon #Communications bought it for $5bn but Yahoo's stake #Alibaba is not included.
