Error 53 has the best and worst intentions
We live in a snooping world. It seem like everybody, from random teenagers in their parents’ basements to government agencies to corporations to the creep who crushed on you in high school, wants to get information about us.

The Internet obliges, to judge by the massive quantity of ads I see routinely that tell me how to get more information about my neighbors and friends, not to mention the daily report..>> view originalWhat Should We Expect From Destiny's Spring PvE Update?

They hope that by turning mobile phones into vast data collec..>> view originalGoogle Is Finally Killing Picasa
It hasn’t made sense for Google to continue to invest in two separate photo storage and sharing applications, as it has been doing with the newer Google Photos and the dated software Picasa. And now the company is finally going to do something about that: Google announced this morning that it will no longer support the Picasa desktop application as of March 16, 2016.
