A virtual private server (VPS), also called a virtual dedicated server (VDS), is a virtual server that appears to the user as a dedicated server but is actually installed on a computer serving multiple Web sites. A single computer can have several VPSs, each one with its own operating system (OS) that runs the hosting software for a particular user.

The hosting software for each VPS can include a Web server program, a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) program, a mail server program and specialized applications for activities such as e-commerce and blogging.

The VPS alternative is often chosen by small businesses that need a customized Web site but cannot afford a dedicated server. Another useful aspect of VPS technology is the ability of a single subscriber to maintain multiple virtual servers. For example a Web site owner might use one server for the production-level Web site and the other for a "dummy site" that can be used to test planned updates, modifications or new programs.

" Android " is one of the most open, versatile, and customizable mobile operating systems out there. You may think you don't need to root your phone, but you'd be surprised at how much more you can accomplish with a little work. Here's the reason :

1. Truly own your devices  

In the end, all of this boils down to one thing: you own your device, and you should be able to do with it as you please. Certain manufacturers and carriers try to keep that from happening, but with root access, you truly own your device and open yourself up to all the possibilities other parties try to block. Sure, there's some risk involved, and we don't usually recommend rooting other people's phones, but in the end, you can't put a price on true openness and control.

2. Flash a Custom ROM

Okay, so you probably already know about this one—but it's one of the best benefits of rooting. A custom ROM is basically a custom version of Android, and it truly changes how you use your phone. Some merely bring a stock version of Android to non-stock phones, or later versions of Android to phones that don't have it yet. Some add a few handy features, some add lots of really unique features, and some change your operating system from head to toe. No matter what phone you have—even if it's a Nexus—we highly recommend checking out the custom ROMs out there. You won't be disappointed. Note: As some of you have noted, you don't actually need root access to flash a custom ROM—though you will need to unlock your bootloader (a process that sometimes comes bundled with root access).

3. Flash a Custom Kernal

Some of Android's most under-the-hood tweaks require a custom kernel, which you can only flash with a rooted device. The kernel is responsible for helping your apps communicate with the hardware of your phone, which means a custom kernel can give you better performance, battery life, and even extra features like Wi-Fi tethering (on unsupported phones), faster battery charging, and lots more. You can flash kernels manually or simplify the process with something like Kernel Manager.

4. Boost Your Phone's Speed and Battery Life

You can do a lot of things to speed up your phone and boost its battery life without rooting, but with root—as always—you have even more power. For example, with an app like SetCPU you can overclock your phone for better performance, or underclock it for better battery life. You can also use an app like Greenify to automatically hibernate apps you aren't using—perfect for those apps that always want to run in the background when you're not looking.

5. Unlock Hidden Features and Install "Incompatible" Apps

Sometimes, even Android isn't open enough to give you some of the features you want. Either an app is blocked by carriers, hacks into Android's system files, or otherwise isn't available. Luckily, rooting can help with that: you can install carrier-blocked apps, get features from the latest version of Android, make incompatible apps compatible, power up your hardware, get features like Beats Audio from other phones, or emulate exclusive features like those on the Moto X. Whatever you want, rooting gives you the power to do a lot more.

Slender is the OTHER most popular game in existence... right now. Or at least it's popular in the sense that people make videos of them screaming into a camera while getting "scared" by the game (I will talk more on that later). In this game you collect eight pages, the more pages you collect, the higher of a chance you have getting caught by Slenderman. This is supposed to be a very scary game, apparently.

But it's actually a very boring game you see. There is a noticeable lack of immersion, something that I believe sells a scary game. Finding pages is a very boring thing to do, as you walk at the speed of molasses. If you don't find the pages fast enough (such as not finding a page within ten minutes), Slenderman will get you anyway. It's a long tedious process of map memory and cat & mouse. It's not fun. I wont spoil the end to the game, but it really makes you feel like you've wasted your time.

I do not see the scare factor in this game. Sure, there's a childish slam down on the piano whenever you turn too quickly and Slenderman is behind you, but that's just a jump scare, it isn't really scary, nor is it tense. It's a dull flashlight simulator. I can't even call it a "walking through the woods simulator" because the woods are kind of interesting and things actually happen sometimes. If you want the full walking through the woods experience, get Miasmata, it's actually kind of tense and scary in a way.

In the graphics department, Slender is a pretty good looking game. Despite a good 90% of the game taking place in the dark, the very few times you see colours and geometrical shapes, it is quite wonderful. This however, is because the Unity engine is actually a pretty good-looking engine and not really because of the game designer.

Also, I know I mentioned this but, this game is darker than Doom 3, but luckily, like Doom 3, you have a nice flashlight. The flashlight can be turned on or off, which surprisingly, not a lot of people understand. The flashlight batteries can also run out if you are too slow at collecting pages and because your character is a cunt, they don't bother bringing any sort of back-up batteries. As I've said above, it is the perfect flashlight simulator for all you flashlight enthusiasts.

There is no real plot to this game, as far as I can tell. You're in the woods looking for a bunch of pages randomly scattered about. Why are you in the woods? Why are you looking for pages? Who posted that pages? Basically it is a bunch of questions that do not get solved within the game. I'm guessing the creator went with the "just make up your own story" approach, but that's really fucking lazy. I probably shouldn't expect much from a free game, but come the fuck on, at least put something on your website, a small little idea of why.

In the end, I highly disliked Slender: The Eight Pages. It wasn't scary, nor was it interesting. Now these people, these people who make videos of them getting scared at this game, I'm willing to bet that 80% of them are hamming it up simply for the camera. HOWEVER, there is a percentage who are genuinely scared of Slenderman. They are scared of when he's going to pop up and they're afraid of this game. It's pathetic in a way, as it's not scary, there's no tension, there's nothing to this game, it's just bad. It's a bad game that isn't fun and that's about it. Goodnight, folks.

I was hoping this movie about " Steve Jobs " would illuminate the dark side of genius–and it does. We not only meet the eccentric entrepreneur obsessed with supplying us all with personal computers, but the other side of Steve Jobs: impossible, difficult, self centered to the point of isolation. This is a man able to bring misfits and rebels around him, often leading them to greatness. Ashton Kutcher was far better than I thought possible as Jobs.


The film tells the specific story of Apple, Steve’s rise and fall, and rise again–boardroom politics. Nothing about his illness, spirituality–maybe that will be another film. Wozniak is beautifully played by Josh Gad. This is our neighborhood, and many people are invested in this story. See this movie, it is worth it!
