Not much happening out there lately. Seems lots of things in the computing world on are in standby mode waiting on Win10.
Latest Software
VMware Player got a bugfix update to v7.1.2.
Passmark Performance Test has been updated to V8.0 (Build 1049) with bugfixes too.
New TV Show
I watched the premier of Mr. Robot via ondemand.
I liked it and have added it to the DVR schedule. Premiers on TV Wednesday, June 24.
You can watch it online now. They state it will only be available until June 25th which I find odd.
In MR. ROBOT, Elliot, a cyber-security engineer by day and vigilante hacker by night, is recruited by a mysterious underground group to destroy the firm he’s paid to protect. Elliot must decide how far he’ll go to expose the forces he believes are running (and ruining) the world.
