The themes tonight, everybody’s favourite... Facebook and Microsoft!

First up, I bet there are two things that people of this Earth gravely desire: more Cup Noodles and a Dislike button for Facebook.

Especially Hello Kitty cup noodles!

Come on, don’t deny it. I know that you’ve been guilty of at least once posting:” Dammit, I DISLIKE this post”, or something of that variety on your friend’s Facebook walls. Good news I have for you people! Enterprising con-men have come up with a solution for your DISLIKE button dilemma. Side-effects of their solution would however include stuff such as stealing your personal information, running up your mobile phone bill (sans your permission naturally), oh, and the lack of actually installing a DISLIKE button to your Facebook. (Disclaimer: Not all Facebook applications that promises DISLIKE buttons are by con-men. Use at your own discretion)

Or you could opt for these easy, quick-drying stamps instead!

How do you spot the DISLIKE-button-scam-in-the-making?  Easy! Firstly, scammers would use attractive content or “exclusive” content in order to persuade Facebookers (yes, I just made that term up) to allow the scam-app permission to Facebooker’s personal data. After that, the scam-app would be presented with a seemingly harmless, innocent survey to fill out with very much real-looking questions: “What do you like for breakfast?”, “What do you do for fun?”, “What’s your WoW username and password?”, which upon completion, the Facebooker would be presented with a option to enter their mobile phone number with promises of gifts. Then, BAM! That’s US$5 a month for the scam-app.

BAM will come take 'em monies from you, maybe

Oh wait, that’s not it. The scam-app would hijack the Facebook account and post a status update with a message such as: “I just got the DISLIKE button, so I can now dislike all your dumb post lol rofl zomg wow diaf cmi – okay, I maybe went overboard with the acronyms. This is to convince your friends and enemies that you have installed a perfectly legitimate necessity of life and thus, make them follow suit, eventually unknowingly funding activities of terrorism and child-slavery.

Or something as kick-ass as this

So, here another warning for Facebookers to be more careful with applications. Or you can instead opt to stop using Facebook.

Riiiiight.

Remember a long time ago when you could fly many varieties of aircraft and dart through the clouds and chase your dreams across the sky?

In perhaps something less humiliating than this

Microsoft has recently mentioned that the now-deceased Microsoft Flight Simulator will make a return in the form of a new title: Microsoft Flight. However, the game is still in Alpha stage and would take a while before we’ll see it on shelves. Few details about the game are being offered by Microsoft, but they promise realism, accuracy and fidelity to flying enthusiasts – or to those who failed flying school. Here’s a quick trivia: the last Microsoft Flight Simulator was released back in 2006, back when people still used Friendster *shudder*.

Miss the age where your empires could march across the plains and mercilessly crush other empires in your ruthless quest for democratic victory? Looking at the current trend where everything is going online (even Farming in a Village) – Microsoft intends to bring back the good old Area of Effect – I mean, Age of Empires. Online. Microsoft is tempting AoE players with promises of a leveling system, and also the tantalizing aspect of co-operative multiplayer quests. Imagine defending against Kerringan at Char with a friend. Okay. Fine, that might not be AoE but you get the idea.

Something like that, except they're online at the same time. Go figure

Well, that is it for tonight’s show. Ladies and Gentlemen, remember to key in your votes! Back to you, Tifa.
