What I'm Doing With My Life.....

Just like the  Loch Ness Monster , you may have heard the rumors about Google Drive. It turns out, one of the two actually does exist. Today, we’re introducing Google Drive—a place where you can create, share, collaborate, and keep all of your stuff. Whether you’re working with a friend on a joint research project, planning a wedding with your fiancé or tracking a budget with roommates, you can do it in Drive. You can upload and access all of your files, including videos, photos, Google Docs, PDFs and beyond. With Google Drive, you can: Create and collaborate.  Google Docs is built right into Google Drive, so you can work with others in real time on documents, spreadsheets and presentations. Once you choose to share content with others, you can add and reply to comments on  anything  (PDF, image, video file, etc.) and receive notifications when other people comment on shared items. Store everything safely and access it anywhere (especially while on the go)...

The emirates have an average speed of 26.7 seconds, with Saudi Arabia offering a mere 21.2 seconds, making the two Gulf nations the world’s ninth and 10th slowest, and barely comparing to the next slowest, Thailand with 17.4 seconds. Google measured web page load speeds on desktop computers and mobile devices in 50 countries with the fastest internet connections, according to a Bloomberg report. At the other end of the scale, South Korea has stormed in with an impressive 4.8 seconds, making it the world’s fastest for mobile speed. Denmark came in a close second boasting 5.2 seconds and Hong Kong 5.9 seconds, according to the Bloomberg report which cited Google's study. O...

Remember the poor  Ferrari  Enzo  supercar abandoned in Dubai  last August? Well, it’s still sitting in the same police impound lot we last saw it in, but it may have a bright future ahead. The Enzo, along with several other exotics, is to be auctioned off in what the Daily Mail, via Jalopnik, claims is the most expensive police sale in history. The person who abandoned the car is believed to be a British citizen who leased the  Ferrari  and then fled Dubai 20 months ago when they couldn’t afford the repayments and traffic fines. It’s not uncommon to face jail time in Dubai for outstanding debts so we tend to see some financed vehicles abandoned, either at airport car parks or even the owner’s former place of residence. However, it’s extremely rare--and sad--to see something like a Ferrari Enzo left abandoned. Other cars seized by authorizes in Dubai and set to be auctioned include some that were stolen and others that were abando...

   According to science: We are bad at making decisions. Our decisions are based on oversimplification, laziness and prejudice. And that's assuming that we haven't already been hijacked by our surroundings or led astray by our subconscious! Featuring exclusive footage of experiments that show how our choices can be confounded by temperature, warped by post-rationalisation and even manipulated by the future, Horizon presents a guide to better decision making, and introduces you to Mathematician Garth Sundem, who is convinced that conclusions can best be reached using simple maths and a pencil!

I know a lot of people have asked for this third an final instalment on how to use Group Policy to manage home page settings and so I have finally been able to find some time to finish this series of posts. Just to recap in  Part 1  I showed you how to configure home page setting using the administrative templates native policy and in  Part 2  I showed you how to do this using Group Policy Preferences. In this post I will show you how to configured Internet Explorer home page settings using the Internet Explore Maintenance (IEM) group policy setting option. The IEM policy setting has been in Group Policy since the very beginning and is now a depracated setting as you can tell by the now various other methods of configuration home pages as outlined in Part 1 and Part 2. So if you are configuring this as a new setting definitely look at using the native Administrative Template or Group Policy Preferences first. However the one advantage of using IEM is “Pre...
