jj3 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Share Posted January 31, 2015 Broadband speeds around the world, in one map Internet access is a lot faster in some places than others. Reddit user DMan9797 made this map showing broadband speeds around the world as of 2014: The data comes from Speedtest.net, a website that lets users test their own internet connections. It indicates that the fastest internet in the world is in Hong Kong, with an average of almost 80 million bits per second (Mbps). Other high-speed countries include Japan, South Korea, Sweden, Romania, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. The United States clocks in at number 30, with average speeds of 24 Mbps. It's important to note that these figures are based on a self-selected sample: users visiting theSpeedtest.net website to test their own broadband speeds. It seems likely that users with fast connections would be most likely to try it. So these data likely overstate average broadband speeds somewhat — other measures, for example, peg the average US broadband speed at more like 12 Mbps than 24. Still, the map gives a pretty good sense of which countries enjoy fast internet access (mostly in Northern Europe and parts of Eastern Asia) and which ones are relegated to the slow lane (much of the developing world). >> http://www.vox.com/2015/1/31/7952321/world-broadband-speed-map Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jj3 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Customer Service of the Day: Time Warner Cable Changes Woman’s Name to C-Word News Customer Service of the Day: Time Warner Cable Changes Woman’s Name to C-Word Customer Service of the Day: Time Warner Cable Changes Woman’s Name to C-Word February 20, 2015News, WTF 022015twcbill This is seriously starting to get old. A woman in Orange County, California is the latest victim of an offensive name-changing incident by a customer service rep at a cable company. Esperanza Martinez was using a live chat feature online to work out an issue with her cable box, and she ended up getting a letter back in the mail. But instead of “Esperanza,” it was addressed to “Cunt Martinez.” “I was not upset even when they could not resolve my issue and had to send a technician out,” she wrote in an email to Ars Technica. “I have no idea why a TWC employee would do this and risk losing their job. It shows what type of companies TWC and Comcast are by the people they hire to represent them.” After numerous phone calls, she eventually got an apology and was offered one free year of cable and Internet service. “We are truly sorry for the disgraceful treatment of Ms. Martinez and have reached out to her to apologize directly,” a TWC rep said. “Our investigation showed that this was done by an employee at a third-party vendor. We have terminated our agreement with this vendor and are changing our processes to prevent this from happening again.” In the last few months we have seen a number of incidents like this with Comcast. A man in Washington’s name was changed from Ricardo to “Asshole,” a woman named Julia was called a “Whore,” and Mary in Chicago was called a “Super Bitch.” Customer service at its finest. It’s like these companies are just begging for us to all cut the cord. Via @THEDAILYWHAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
17 Moments of Spring Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Martin Pistorius was a happy, healthy boy – until at the age of 12 a mystery illness left him in a virtual coma. Doctors never found the cause of his condition – even his mother gave up hope.Yet in 1992, when Martin was 16, a miracle happened: he started to regain consciousness. But he was still trapped in his broken body, unable to communicate.Slowly, however, he regained some control of his head and arms, and began to use a computer to write messages and operate a synthetic voice. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2010610/The-Ghost-Boy-The-uplifting-story-Martin-Pistorius-survived-mystery-paralysis-love.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jj3 Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 Where to watch Friday's (03.20.15) solar eclipse A total solar eclipse will take place tomorrow as the Moon moves between the Sun and the Earth. Although only a small part of the world will experience the full eclipse — known as a totality — residents of Europe and even North Africa and Asia can enjoy a partial eclipse in the morning. Astronomers say the eclipse is set to be particularly striking, as the Moon is currently at the point of its elliptical orbit closest to the Earth — a configuration technically known as the perigee-syzygy of the Earth-Moon-Sun system but more memorably dubbed the "supermoon." LONDONERS CAN SEE THE ECLIPSE FROM 9.30AM Budding astronomers from outside of the affected areas can still watch the eclipse though. The entire event will be broadcast online via the Slooh Community Observatory, with the webcast kicking off at 04.30 am ET. Only residents of the Faroe Islands — a tiny, self-governing country off the northern coast of the UK — will experience an 100 percent occlusion of the Sun. People in the north of Scotland and Norway will have the next best experience (around a 90 to 95 percent occlusion), while for UK residents, the height of the eclipse will be a roughly 85 percent occlusion at 09.30am GMT. The best time to see the eclipse in Paris and Berlin will be around 10.30am local time. As ever with eclipses, people should not look directly at the Sun at the risk of permanent eye damage. Regular sunglasses aren't enough protection either, and the best method to watch the eclipse safely is to make a basic pinhole projector or use wear eclipse glasses. Experts have said that anyone attempting to take an eclipse selfie should be especially careful. The UK's College of Optometrist warns that even a brief glance over someone's shoulder at the Sun could lead to burns at the back of the eye.
