The Microsoft Hidden Easter Egg!

Happy 8 Bit Day from Microsoft, One of the ways the company is celebrating is by letting you find the Hidden Egg! I remember playing with my son Ricardo on old 8 Bit Games and he always knew the Codes to find the Easter Eggs and yes, The Cheats!! Here ya go –

Go to Microsoft.com and click in the Search Bar in the Top Left, Once There, press the up arrow key then up arrow again, down arrow, down arrow, left arrow, right arrow, left arrow, right arrow, and finally enter the B and the A and hit return.

Watch for the 8-Bit T-rex at the Bottom of the Screen,  then three coins which can be dragged to a slot that will appear saying insert coins (How many of these did we spend in Arcades)

It will provide you some links to games! Now, you can also visit our Main Page at http://www.techtalkradio.com – Click on the Listen Live graphic, then select Menu, you will see a Joystick there where you can play some cool games as well!

Happy 8-Bit Day!

Andy

(i)Phones and security…

During our September 12 show, Justin mentioned an incident when an iPhone was hacked by a guy…I think this may be what he was referring to:

“Watch John McAfee hack a Fox News host’s phone live on air”

Relating to the issue of iPhone security, from an article in the New York Times:

…the Justice Department is engaged in a court dispute with another tech company, Microsoft…the company refused to comply…because the emails were stored on servers in Dublin.

…two types of encoding…end-to-end encryption, which Apple uses in its iMessage system and FaceTime, the video conversation system…

With Apple, the encryption and decryption is done by the phones at either end of the conversation; Apple does not keep copies of the message unless one of the users loads it into iCloud, where it is not encrypted…

The second type of encoding involves sophisticated encryption software on Apple and Android phones, which makes it all but impossible for anyone except the user of the phone to open stored content — pictures, contacts, saved text messages and more — without an access code…
