10 Illegal Things You Do On The Internet

Social media has spread its roots deeply into the lives of people of all age groups. There’s hardly anything that you cannot do with the help of the network. The internet has eased our lives to a never thought extent which is why it is so extensively the basis of so many activities today. Right from saving yourselves from standing in a queue for booking tickets to interacting with the ones sitting at the other face of this earth, everything can be done just at the count of a few clicks.

1. Recording Skype Conversations.

We do happen to record the Skype conversations for various utilities, for the sake of memories or entertainment by sharing in some cases. Do you know that recording any part of the conversation without prior information to the second person is highly objectionable and wrong? 

2. Blocking advertisements.

Well, everyone runs short on time these days and who wants to be kept waiting by advertisements while browsing? So, we all end up using blocking tools or skipping those ads which seem annoying and hurdles in smooth surfing. By bypassing them you tend to try to view the content without paying the fare for it which actually has nothing to do with your real pocket. While the company pays a huge amount to get their ads displayed on the most famous website pages, you just hit ‘SKIP’ and move ahead to the free stuff without being aware that you just did an illegal act by blocking something that popped up at the push of a pretty huge amount of money.

3. Being an active user of ebay without declaring the income.

If you get your earnings through a real job, you are supposed to pay a part of your income to the government as Income Tax. Although this is quite a common fact to be known by all of us, many of those who run eBay stores do not think that they have a real job and hence never consider paying tax for their income through it. Selling on or two items is an ignorable case but if you do selling or reselling on a regular basis, you are liable to pay the income tax, failing at which you may find the IRS banging on your door, like it's, you know, their job.

4. Sharing subscription passwords.

If you think that by subscribing for one account and sharing the password you could smartly gain multiple access to HBO Go, Netflix and alike, you are wrong my friend. Sharing the passwords could bring the sirens of police vans at your doorstep and in no time you could be repenting your act of smartness.

5. Under age Facebook accounts.

Who cares enough to click at the ‘terms and conditions’ link while signing up on Facebook? Hardly anyone does and it is a result of this that cases of under aged account holders come up. Officially, Facebook does not permit anyone who is below 13 years of age to sign up on Facebook or operate it. But kids tend to enter a false date of birth to get through the signing up procedure which is actually illegal and punishable.

6. Faking the IP Address

Though protecting or masking the IP address is not prohibited and there is no law against it, but changing or falsely entering the same could make you pay a huge amount of penalty or land you in jail.

Top 10 addictive video games of the 90's

Mario

Mario has been the most popular game on consoles from the early 90's. Missions for saving the princess made it grow successfully big and many sequels were introduced year after year.

Road Rash

We won't ever forget this game, the bad ass bikers, speeding bikes, beating the opponents to win the race and then getting busted.

Mortal Kombat

It was a game based on the famous movie Mortal Kombat. It gained a lot of popularity due to the features and the choice of characters.

Dave

This game released back in 1998, with a simple plot of collecting gold cups without getting burnt or caught by the spitting dragons.

Doom

Doom was an interesting game that vented out all the aggression. The concept of this game was to locate the exit room that leaded to the next area by surviving all hazards on the way.

Adventure island

It was somewhat like Mario. With the mission of saving a princess it was a fun game with an adorable animation.

Contra

Contra was one of the popular games played by the boys. It was a legendary game with a plan of saving the earth from the Red Falcon terrorist group.

 Duck Hunt

Shooting the birds and then acting like real hunters was a trend in 90's. Hunting those flying ducks was so much fun back then. The only annoying part was the dog who mocked if we couldn't shoot any of those ducks.

Aladdin

This game became popular soon after its release and sold out over 10 million copies. It surely was an interesting game which did not belong to the Nintendo era.

Midtown Madness

It was the most played PC racing game of the 90's. The only fun part of the game was to drive rash, bump into the other cars and kill the pedestrians. Well, that's what most players did.

A drone that can fly FOREVER!

This week the US Patent and Trademark Office approved an application from Boeing for an autonomous drone that can be recharged without landing.
Today the amount of time a drone can spend in the air is limited by the amount of fuel or electricity the unmanned aircraft can carry.
But those limitations could soon be a thing of the past.
According to the patent, the system involves battery-powered dirigibles or drones that can deploy a retractable tether. The tether will be able to connect to a power source as the craft hovers. When fully charged, the drone will automatically fly off to complete its programmed task while another drone will fly in and take its place at the charging point.

Depending on the specific application of the drone, the tether can be connected to a variety of sources including land- and ocean-based power supplies. The tether can even be connected to moving vehicles, allowing the drone to charge while flying.The patent — filed in March 2013 and approved this week — is a reasonable concept for an efficient and effective way to manage and charge a fleet of drones. Because the drones can fly indefinitely without landing, the system forgos the need for landing and storage space. Of course, the drones would probably have to periodically land for maintenance.
Thus far, the proposed system exists on the drawing board. There's no word whether Boeing plans to actually build these drones.

Apple is reportedly making a smaller version of the iPhone 7 called the 'iPhone 7c'

For the first time ever, Apple released two new iPhones in different sizes last year when it launched the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Now another report from Asia is claiming that Apple will bring back the smaller-size option with its next iPhone release.

Display manufacturer AU Optronics has reportedly locked in a deal with Apple to produce 4-inch screens for an upcoming iPhone, Chinese publication Economic Daily News reports.

This follows a report from Taiwanese industry publication Digitimes in March that indicated Apple is working on three new iPhones to be released later this year: the iPhone 6s, the iPhone 6s Plus, and the iPhone 6c.

There's some debate as to what Apple will call its next iPhone(s). We won't know for sure until Apple officially announces it, but many speculate it will be called the iPhone 6s or iPhone 7. Economic Daily News refers to the standard-sized phone as the iPhone 7 and the smaller version as the iPhone 7c.

What's strange about the Economic Daily News' report, however, is that it says the new 4-inch iPhone is expected to ship in the first quarter of next year — not later this year in September when Apple usually unveils its new iPhones.

If Apple does release another 4-inch iPhone called the iPhone 7c or iPhone 6c, it will probably be a successor to the iPhone 5c — a cheaper version of the iPhone 5s that came with a colorful plastic body instead of brushed aluminum. 

It's important to note that both Digitimes and the Economic Daily News have shaky track records in terms of accuracy. Their information likely comes directly from Apple's supply chain, and sometimes the components Apple's manufacturers test don't make it into the final products. Economic Daily News has made some crazy predictions about the iPhone in the past, too. Last November, it reported that Apple was working on a 3-D screen for its smartphones. 

Regardless, the reports from Economic Daily News and Digitimes suggest that Apple could be at least thinking about releasing another 4-inch iPhone.

Less-Lethal Self-Defense Options

The term “everyday carry” takes on different meanings to different people. While daily carry in some states can include a handgun, an extra magazine and an auto-opening knife and flashlight, other states seem to restrict you to a piece of string and chapstick. The biggest hurdle in some states is a prohibition against carrying a firearm. With state laws varying greatly in their restrictions, it is important to know what some other less-lethal options may be. Given the chance that a handgun may be out of the picture, there are other options you can make part of your everyday carry (EDC) self-defense arsenal. - 

 Stealth Defense

One item that is benign and overlooked is a pen. When made of the right material and in the correct design, a pen can be a very effective self-defense tool. The design of the pen must be around its use as both a functional writing tool and a potential stabbing weapon. The average ballpoint pen simply is not up to the task. The material the pen is constructed of is equally as important. It must be hard enough to be used in a fight yet light enough to carry effortlessly. This is where the use of titanium is useful. Titanium is a solid choice because while it is 45-percent lighter than steel and only a little heavier than aluminum it is functionally stronger, more corrosion resistant and more resilient than either steel or aluminum. It is the perfect material for your serious everyday carry pen. 

Pepper Power

Years ago, one of the first chemical defense sprays was trademarked as “Chemical Mace”, The word “Mace” is still a trademarked word today and is owned by Mace Security International, a company that manufactures many types of defense sprays. Defense sprays are formulated from many types of agents ranging from chemical tear gases to naturally occurring substances such as oleoresin capsicum (“OC”). OC is the most common agent in use today and is the oily resin derived from chili peppers. Its common name, “pepper spray,” comes from its origins, and upon contact will make the eyes slam shut and cause inflammation of the respiratory tract, resulting in coughing, gagging, production of excess mucous and extreme burning pain around the eyes, mouth and nose.
There is no shortage of pepper spray manufacturers. The Kimber PepperBlaster II is a unique twist on this reliable tool. Built to function similar to a pistol with a trigger and sights, it provides a very comfortable and effective launching platform. Another advantage with the PepperBlaster II is that it delivers its punch at a high velocity, hitting 112 mph at 13 feet. The unit is a gel, not a traditional aerosol, which gives it a four-year shelf life and makes it essentially leak-proof. Small, lightweight and effective, the PepperBlaster II is capable of delivering two separate blasts should the need arise during an attack.

Taser Takedowns

Like chemical sprays, Taser weapons have been around for years. These devices are designed to deliver an electrical shock that interferes with voluntary control of muscles and ultimately leads to incapacitation. Generic stun guns require that you actually jam the top of the stun gun into the assailant and then press the button. While painful, a better method has been developed. Taser International is the innovator of a remote stun gun that fires two individual probes that stick to the assailant. The weapon then delivers an electrical charge and causes the subject to collapse with lack of muscular control. Taser has also developed a civilian model for use as a self-defense tool, the Taser C2. The C2 allows you to stun an attacker as far as 15 feet away thus giving you time and room to escape. The C2 should be at the top of any EDC list.
