There's been loads of hyperbole in the news announcing the measurement of gravity waves.

Here's the science. BTW they are very, very, very small.

Been a while since we've had anything to post in here so nice to be able to post something goo.

This is pretty darn cool:

Till yesterday, I had an odd thing on my Win 8.1 netbook. Every time I used it on the internet, I got a vocal message saying that my computer has a virus and I must call a telephone number to solve that problem. And sometimes a blue screen!

No positive result with Avast. Then I tried Malwarebytes Anti-Malware. It found a lot of malwares on my PC and now, the problem is over. Only a small and short popup when a "virus" appears. Thank you MBAM!

I'm slowly learning Windows 10 with my new little desktop. And I've discovered some "anomalies".

FIRST STRANGE THING: THE BACKGROUND.

Yesterday I changed the background (not a personal photo but one of the default backgrounds of Win 10).

When I turned on my small laptop/tablet in my bed (under Win 8.1, the PC, not the bed), some hours later, surprise, wow, oops, WTF: the background was changed!
The same background I'd installed on my desktop!

No problem, I like that image but I don't understand. Perhaps (sure, no doubt) Windows is smarter than I am...

Intel will be releasing a 10 core CPU this year, based on the Broadwell architecture but the chip will fully support the X99 chip-set motherboards.

Yes it's probably going to be way out of most people price range but it's nice to keep up-to-date with what's going on.

I finally found the software to install a webcam which has been laying around a few years. I installed the software and it put in updates that took an hour to download and install. It has additional software for facial recognition which I installed after playing with the webcam awhile. Anyways the facial software wanted a password I don't have and would not proceed to the next step. I believe what has happened is the facial
software will not let me in the win 8.1 setup with user name Carl_2 , I can not get to the user name Carl which is what I'd been using. So I have a different desktop and most of the program shortcuts are gone.
Maybe if I use control panel and remove the facial software.
