Jennifer Aniston doused in oil for 'The Morning Show' season 4
BlueLightning said:Not sure this was a good idea. If that is REALLY used motor oil, those who change oil are supposed to use protective gloves, due to break-down chemicals that may be carcinogenic. Hollywood does use fake blood and other materials, so maybe this was not REAL used motor oil. Maybe it was black liquid ink? Crude oil, before refining, also contains carcinogens, like benzene.

Global chaos erupts as Windows security update goes bad
Pema said:So, what else is new? Or News? MS DOS, MS Windows, always the achilles heel of the tech world. But because Mr Gates forced the both down pc makers throats then it spread like a virus. For those who don't recall, you could build a PC, no quality control there. Get a motherboard, a breadbox, slap a display on top call it Joe's PC and you are in business. But, and this is the big but, hardware alone is no good without the software. So Mr Gates tells the pc makers, ok, folks you want to put MS DOS on there, fine there is a licensing fee per PC. And that trend continued with Windows.
Apple was different the hardware and software came bundled together so they worked seamlessly.
There was one time in Apple's history where they almost became extinct and that when Mr Pepsi Cola - some idiot that Steve Jobs hired from the soft drink company to manage the company - licensed the Apple OS and a builder in Texas I believe put together the hardware and then slapped on the Apple OS. That relationship lasted as long as a one-night stand.
Long story short, Mr Pepsi Cola forced Steve Jobs out, Jobs created Next on top of Unix. Apple floundered, MS tipped $150 million into Apple, Steve came back resurrected the company on top of the Unix Shell with the Mac interface. And from the Bondi Blue Mac and the iPod and as they say the rest is history. Apple is, IMO, due to become a $5 Trillion company.
Microsoft's O/S was some rubbish that Ms Gates purloined from a guy in Seattle. It has always been sheit. Full of security holes, bugs you name it. MS ought to have dumped the whole kit and caboodle, and become what they have proven to be good at, Cloud. My Nutella's specialty. Except good old Windows has opened up a breach into the cloud and scuttled the works.
I am no big fan of Android but it is heads and shoulders above Windows.
Perhaps MS needs to team up with Google and license Android to run their PCs and Azure to manage the Cloud.
Otherwise there will be days like these.
Huh?!
