15 great apps for Android Wear

Comment: There are some really smart looking wear for your smartphone ================================================================================================= By JR Raphael , Computerworld, August 01, 2014 Expand your Android Wear horizonsGoogle's Android Wear platform is pretty powerful out of the box -- but with the right set of apps, it can be made even more useful. Any Android app can actually interact with a Wear watch via its regular notifications. Certain apps, however, take things a step further with advanced features and special interfaces. Of course, just because an app works on a watch doesn't mean it's worth using. Wear apps shouldn't merely be watered-down versions of what we have on our phones; they should provide meaningful value specific to the smartwatch form -- in a way that actually makes sense for a wrist-based device. These 15 apps accomplish that, and they're well worth giving a whirl. ComputerWorld/ Full Article Here/ http://www.computerworld.com/slidesh

Bank of America illegally copied $300M in software, alleges Tibco lawsuit

By Chris Kanaracus July 15, 2014 05:08 PM E IDG News Service - Bank of America illegally copied $300 million worth of Tibco's enterprise software for use in a massive IT project at its Merrill Lynch subsidiary, Tibco alleges in a lawsuit. The bank stockpiled large quantities of Tibco software while it was still within the terms of a license agreement that expired in February 2013, then used the software for the project when it was out of license, according to the suit. As of Tuesday, Bank of America hadn't filed a response to Tibco's suit, which was filed last month in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. But a spokesman said the bank had done nothing wrong.

Worst Joke Thread

Hello everyone! The game is simple, find a joke that's worse than the one before it. The most cringe-worthy, groan-inducing ones you can find! I'll start it off. What did the mountain climber name his son? Cliff 😃

:DIf you've ever worked for a boss who reacts before getting the facts and thinking things through, you will love this! Arcelor-Mittal Steel, feeling it was time for a shakeup, hired a new CEO. The new boss was determined to rid the company of all slackers. On a tour of the facilities, the CEO noticed a guy leaning against a wall. The room was full of workers and he wanted to let them know that he meant business He asked the guy, "How much money do you make a week?" A little surprised, the young man looked at him and said, "I make $400 a week. Why?" The CEO said, "Wait right here." He walked back to his office, came back in two minutes, and handed the guy $1,600 in cash and said, "Here's four weeks' pay. Now GET OUT and don't come back." Feeling pretty good about himself the CEO looked around the room and asked, "Does anyone want to tell me what that goof-ball did here?" From across the room a voice said, "Pizza delivery guy from Domino's.":D

New From Me!

News From MDofDarkheart Hey everyone, I have some news to share with you all. My family is in the middle of packing our stuff to move to a new place. Which means that I am going to have a new house soon. Saddly this also means that I will be..... MIA from the intrenet sites that I usually am one like Twitter, Facebook, photobucket, and Youtube as well as in checking this site for awhile. Yes, I check this site even if I don't always reply to the threads. I tend to not like being the center of all the time. I'd rather help others with their issues if I can than cause more issues for not knowing something when someone else might know the real answer. Anyway, I just wanted to update you all on my current status in the offline world. I love you all my Webroot Peeps! Peace! -MDofDarkheart

joke of the day "Cost of Services"

A married couple is travelling by car to visit family. After almost eleven hours on the road, they were too tired to continue and decided to take a room. But, they only planned to sleep for four hours and then get back on the road. When they checked out four hours later, the desk clerk handed them a bill for $350.00. The man explodes and demands to know why the charge is so high. He told the clerk although it’s a nice hotel but the rooms certainly aren’t worth $350.00 for four hours. Then the clerk tells him that $350.00 is the ‘standard rate’. He insisted on speaking to the Manager. The Manager appears, listens to him, and then explains that the hotel has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference center that were available for us to use. “But we didn’t use them,” the husband said. “Well, they are here, and you could have,” explained the Manager. The Manager went on to explain that the couple could also have enjoyed one of the shows for which the hotel is famous. “We have the best en

Joke of the Week!!

A child asked his father, "How were people born?" So his father said, "Adam and Eve made babies, then their babies became adults and made babies, and so on." The child then went to his mother, asked her the same question and she told him, "We were monkeys then we evolved to become like we are now." The child ran back to his father and said, "You lied to me!" His father replied, "No, your mom was talking about her side of the family."

Roku lists the the top 10 patriotic movies for 4th of July -- do you agree?

By Brian Fagioli Posted on July 3 2014 Regardless of your political affiliation, financial status, or religion, if you are an American citizen, the 4th of July is a day to be celebrated. Hot dogs, hamburgers and fireworks are great equalizers, bringing people together. It is meant to remember our gaining of independence from the treacherous (at the time) British government. However, it is so much more -- it should be a day to reflect on our blessings and freedoms that were earned by our forefathers. While no one should need motivation to be patriotic, a great film that conjures pride in the USA is never a bad thing.Today, Roku announces its picks for the top 10 patriotic films of all time. Do you think the company got it right? Roku lists the following movies and descriptions betanews/ Full Read Here/ http://betanews.com/2014/07/03/roku-lists-the-the-top-10-patriotic-movies-for-4th-of-july-do-you-agree/
