My Bologna has a first name, It’s O-S-C-A-R. My bologna has a second name, It’s M-A-Y-E-R. Oh, and now my bologna has a cool new jetpack too. Summer is hot dog season, and Oscar Meyer is going all out this year, introducing a jetpack to its fleet of Wienermobiles and other Weiner inspired vehicles. In other words, Oscar Meyer is basically the Bruce Wayne of hot dogs. I’m pretty sure they have a wiener cave where they park these wieners. Wow, that didn’t come out right at all. But I bet they do.
The flying wiener pack is called the “Super Hotdogger” and this is the unfortunate way that it was worded in the press release that I was sent is as follows: “a futuristic, jet pack-powered member of the WienerFleet.” A jet-powered member may not be the best way to word your weiner-related news. But Super Hotdogger is a great name for the flying, wiener-wielding hero.
They plan to use this Wienermobile jet pack to help get hot dogs in every hand this summer. Now this is a superhero that I can appreciate. That utility belt? It does nothing but keep his pants up and hold as many hot dogs as it can. So get your fill of wieners this summer… from a jet-powered spaceman!

That’s the tragedy that befell the generic-named Scrolls collectible card game that ultimately shut down in 2016. But out from its ashes rises Scrolls, now called Caller’s Bane, but Mojang, now owned by Microsoft, won’t … Continue reading

Facebook’s Groups feature can be used for all sorts of things, such as for friends to share updates with each other, hobby groups, local communities, and so on. However could there be a need for premium Groups that share exclusive content for a price? That’s what Facebook seems to think so.
So much so that the company has announced the launch of paid subscription groups. According to Facebook, “We hear from group admins that they’re looking for ways to help them earn money to deepen engagement with their members and continue to support their communities. Many admins do this today by creating an additional subscribers-only group that sits alongside their existing group, and rely on additional tools to track and collect payments.”
However as it stands the paid subscriptions are only in the testing phase at the moment. This means that not all group admins can start to charge group members. According to Facebook, this testing is done to gain an understanding of how group members feel about the idea of paid group subscriptions. This means that there is a chance that this feature could eventually be cancelled or modified based on feedback.
In any case what do you guys think of the feature? Are paid Facebook Groups something you might be interested in?

Recently you might have heard the news that Chinese company ZTE has drawn the ire of the US government to the point where ZTE was close to being shut down, although thankfully the company managed to work out a deal. However it seems that ZTE is not the only Chinese company that the US government has set their sights on.
In a report from Reuters, it appears that Huawei could be next. Some lawmakers have asked Google to consider their relationship with Huawei, which they claim to be a “security threat”. In a letter sent to Google’s CEO, Republican Senators Tom Cotton and Marco Rubio, Republican Representatives Michael Conaway and Liz Cheney, and Democratic Representative Dutch Ruppersberger expressed their “disappointment” with the company.
“While we regret that Google did not want to continue a long and fruitful tradition of collaboration between the military and technology companies, we are even more disappointed that Google apparently is more willing to support the Chinese Communist Party than the U.S. military.” This follows reports that Google has reportedly decided not to renew its contract with the military following outcry that the company’s AI technology would be used in drones.
That being said, this isn’t the first time that Huawei has been targeted by US lawmakers. Previously the company had planned to make a big push in the US by officially launching their phones with local carriers, but those plans have since been derailed.
