I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Actually I figured out it was just Waze trying to reauthorize itself. Which is weird because Waze is owned by Google and should already have my password!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

What does this mean when I am trying to get to a website:

Http/1.1 Service Unavailable

I have been sent links to many wigs I need to buy at www.thewigcompany.com, and I cannot get there!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

It's an error on their website. Check back later and see if it's back up.

Thanks! I thought so, but I was also panicking since I really have to order these!

I'm trying to install adblocker software on my home computer running Win 7 with IE 11. I've tried Ad-Aware and a couple of others, and they're not showing up in IE. Is there a better adblocker plug-in I can try?

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Honestly, I'd move to another browser and then install an adblocker. IE is notorious for not playing well with that kind of stuff.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

An interesting note. Not sure if it's a fluke, accident, or what. But it seems when listening to Pandora on my FireTV, there are no commercials. I've been listening all day, and not a one. If I stream from the website on a computer, or from the iPad app, a fair amount of commercials. But none from the FireTV. Anyone else notice this? Not complaining. Just thought I'd share.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Adobe’s Digital Editions e-book and PDF reader is spying on you.

Adobe is gathering data on the ebooks that have been opened, which pages were read, and in what order. All of this data, including the title, publisher, and other metadata for the book is being sent to Adobe’s server in clear text.

Adobe isn’t just tracking what users are doing in DE4; this app was also scanning my computer, gathering the metadata from all of the ebooks sitting on my hard disk, and uploading that data to Adobe’s servers.

I'm not surprised they're tracking what pages get read/how fast etc, but scanning te other books on y computer? What??
