Acidic Security

Google has announced its timeline for closing its social network Google+, and the process is starting very soon. For example, if (for some reason) you were thinking of signing up to experience the ailing social network before it's gone for good, you'll have to do it before February 4, when Google will remove the ability to create new profiles, pages, communities and events.  The Google+ comment feature will disappear from Blogger on February 4, and Google+ comments on all sites will begin vanishing into the ether on April 2. Google+ sign-in buttons will also vanish from sites over the coming weeks (being replaced by regular Google login buttons in some cases).  You can download your own Google+ data using  Google Takeout , which lets you grab your personal information from all of Google's sites and services. If you're a community owner or moderator, you'll also be able to grab the author, body text and photos for every community post from early March. On Ap

If you are using a free VPN,THEN YOU ARE NOT SAFE The reason is simple – many of them simply sell your data to 3rd party advertisers. And this defeats the whole purpose of having a VPN in the first place. But there’s more: 1.

I think to many who know Rwanda and the magnitude of the daily influx of rwandese in uganda,and the openness of the ugandan boarders plus the freedom of travelling and working Rwandese get here in uganda, then the answer is NO.Yesterday evening i listened to news over RBA,of a one Cyemayire Emmanuel who was allegedly deported by CMI operatives and how he compelled Fellow rwandese never to rush back to uganda again,citing that its very dangerous for rwndese to work in uganda now.I woke up in the morning to go and check at the bus terminals to real see if the number of rwandese entering buses or disembarking was reduced!! It is shocking that even today the number of rwandese who board buses to kampala,mbarara,toro,bunyoro...is ever increasing.The leaders in rwanda have bittery been saying and compelling rwandese not to rush to Uganda but its impossible. Many rwandese especially in districts that neighbouring uganda even sneak into uganda without proper documentation.For example in kisor

He has frustrated the government to the extent that one day,a one by the name of shaka robert was arrested and jailed in anticipation that he was thetrue identity behind the Facebook's TOM voltaire okwalinga(TVO).there has been lotsa speculation about who this TVO may be or how he gets information. Many people refered to TVO as: Charles Rwomushana:i think that, this man can never be TVO. Tamale Mirundi:The fearless motor mouthed journalism legend can never be TVO.what i like about tamale is straightforwardness and the hatred he has for the mafias in government and with this hatred for them,they would work had to unearth him so that museveni goes against him.i think he also canot afford to hide for al
