Windows advertising uninteresting products pop up when we open a new website, small video windows appear in the corners of the screen, wide tabs with ads take place on top and bottom of screen where the text should be… it is all so irritating that it is difficult to not agree with South Park’s sentiments on the matter. Good uncle Google saw our troubles and said ”let there be clarity” and gave us AdBlock, which takes care of much of this trash. Unfortunately, AdBlock is not perfect, and we are still ...

And once again I am glad that I barely use Facebook anymore. As announced by BBC, Facebook has been hacked, with cyber-thieves taking the data of 81 thousand accounts’ private messages. The hackers themselves, naturally hiding behind the mask of anonymity, have announced that they really stole the data of 120 million FB accounts, but this reveleation has been so far unconfirmed and is believed to be untrue.

New may not be the completely right term for the game, though, as it will be a prequel – its story will tell us what happened (meaning, all the thousands of daemons slain and loot gained) between Diablo II and ...

Upon clicking that icon the reader will be presented with information about the source of the news – description, origin and date of the source’s creation, places where the news has been shared the most etc. This feature will, at least until some hacker/s decide to mess with it, help us recognize the value of the news by evaluating its source.Good going, FB. Keep it ...
