Facebook’s Twitter and Instagram accounts hacked
People responsible for the hack are so-called white hat hackers from the OurMine group.

They have hacked a number of companies in the past, including HBO and BuzzFeed, always just to let them know that they ought to improve their e-security. Very nice of them, but i wish they would save this effort for ...

So far unrecognized error does not allow neither turning off nor restarting a computer.

Either Microsoft will give in and release a free ...

What ever will we do?To make things more funny, Anglin himself posted his thoughts on the matter online. He complains ...
