So OK, today I was working on improving my “white hat” SEO skills, and I ran across something in all my searches, and all my thousands of hours online I had never seen before. (It happens :-b) It’s called “Google Guide” and it has all kinds of amazing tools for using Google to search. I was always aware that there were special operators you could use to write more complicated searches, but I never really bothered to learn them…but I had no idea there were actually algorithm keywords and syntax’s to do very sophisticated searches, and that all I had to do was bookmark it to become an immediate “search genius!” …So that’s what I did. Here are some of the interesting things you can find on Google Guide:

Trump just signed a new law that repeals the old one that was supposed to put privacy restrictions on your data, and can now collect ALL your browsing history, and sell it to the highest bidder. This is a terrible move on Trump’s part. Looks like he may not be a politician, but he is still in the pockets of big business. Read the whole article here on Techrepublic’s site: https://www.techrepublic.com/article/the-real-reason-behind-the-new-law-for-isps-and-what-it-means-for-internet-users/?ftag=TRE684d531&bhid=21935322407075098143808078291188

If you experience heartache over the Windows 10 upgrade, it may be the time to push the issue. There is now a class action lawsuit against the software giant over unwanted consequences from the unwanted upgrade, and people are winning. Read about THIS class action lawsuit which has a good chance of succeeding, as a precedence has already been set by this small claims lawsuit that awarded this travel agent $10,000.00 . Were you severely inconvenience also, and did you have to put out to get your computer fixed? Then what are you waiting for? Go get in on the action…they really have it coming to them, in my opinion, for putting out a Windows Update of a complete operating system upgrade that people had absolutely no knowledge of…yes, I am now a Windows 10 user, only by necessity because the rest of the known digital almost all have it, and I need to be knowledgeable to stay in business, but that doesn’t mean I approve about how they went about, or even like it really. Luckily, I blocked, and waited, and so I had no issues, but I know how many did…I got the calls. Wow. And I feel for you guys. It was difficult to charge people, because well, I have a heart, and I hated that they did that to the public…so if you can get something back, I want you do know about it.

Well, my last client motivated me. I have this new build that I want to dual-boot (actually I want to quad boot it) anyways, but since he got me started playing with Virtualbox, I decided to build a Mac Virtual Machine. Here’s a picture of it running…(click Read More button at bottom left) …you can run it full screen, but I wanted you to see that Mac & Windows are running at the same time, so I made the window smaller for purpose of the post.
It’s kind of cool this way, because you can share files and access programs in both operating systems (if you have enough processing power and memory) …if you dual/triple/quad boot, you can only run one operating system at a time. This way you have shared folders…

So today, got to troubleshoot something different. Usually it’s either a Windows machine, or a Macintosh (OSX) or a smaller Mac (iOS) , or an Android. But rarely do I get to work on a Win-Mac. So today, a guy calls wanting to get his USB to work on His Windows install, inside of Virtualbox, inside of his Macbook. If you don’t know, Virtualbox is a Java program that lets you run any operating system inside of a virtual machine, inside of any other operating system. So today’s, his was Windows inside of OSX (Macintosh) …so it was quite fun. I love a challenge.
My next task is to run Mac (OSX) on a Windows machine. (also referred to as a ‘hackintosh’) …which is a slightly more difficult task. 🙂
Give me a call with your challenging task that’s giving you a headache, …and I’ll make it work for you!
