Ladies and Gentlemen, for this edition of Syprux’s Taco News, I am going to teach you all how to make lots and lots of money. I’m talking about the-swimming-pool-filled-with-money level of money!

Firstly, take a blockbuster movie, preferably a movie that a billion people have already seen a billion times. Then, re-release it in cinemas with the tagline: “Now with previously unseen footage”. With that, the billions who have watched the movie, will pay billions to re-watch the same movie and wouldn’t even be able to tell if you have actually put “previously unseen footage” in. You’d be rich in no time!

News? Oh yes. Now to the news.

Taco Wars: The Return of The Taco

We all know that modern day civilized humans are highly afraid of the sun, and outdoor air will probably kill us. As such, Gmail – or Google Mail- is benevolent enough to provide us a new feature, which enables us to make phone calls from our Gmail account... which unfortunately, does not come with a catchy, gimmicky name. It’s merely an additional new feature with your Gmail.  And for those who actually dig acronyms, this Gmail-Phone-Thinggy runs on VoIP – no VoIP does not stand for Very Opinionated Idiotic Person

Now this feature is rather interesting to have, plus it is like an extension to Google’s very own Google Voice service. (For the uninitiated, Google Voice is a telecommunications service by Google, where you get a phone number from Google... pretty much similar to how a regular phone works.) So now instead of going: “ Hmmm, I think I better email for a pizza since I’m hungry”, you can now use Gmail to place a phone to the pizza place to order one instead! Or better yet, use your smartphone to log onto Gmail to make a call.

Or even better!

This service is not all bad really. Google promises that you would be able to call any phone from Gmail. Yes, indeed some of you will point out that it is redundant with the invention of the mobile phone. However, let’s say you’re at a place with bad phone reception. You can still depend on Gmail to make that call about getting the guild together for raid night, since it uses VoIP instead of relying on landlines. Plus, Google promises rather competitive rates for international calls. Have an overseas girlfriend/boyfriend/affair? This service would save you billions in phone bills.

Biiiillions!!

You know what? After reading the above details... I can’t help but feel that this all sounds rather familiar...

Rise and shine people! I have more good news for you Facebook users!

It has been reported recently that a new form of spam is making its ways round Facebook. Previously, you get infected “Like” buttons, fake wall posts... and now, face spammers trying to mind-control you! This works through the Facebook chat feature, where your friend would send you a message such as: “LOLz I Iz SaW YeW @ dA PahtEE! “ (nobody said spammers could spell), followed by a link. Those gullible enough to click on the link would have the same message+link sent to all THEIR friends, so on and so forth. Mind control. Messages range from promises of free mobile devices, free ringtones, free countries and free planets to entice users into clicking on them.

All yours by just clicking the link!

Now, it is rather easy to identify these spam messages. The users whose accounts are infected will immediately go offline after sending the spam, so that is a telling sign: Much like how my dead grandpa is constantly asking me to buy more milk. Be warned! Once infected, your account will pretty much unleash a torrent of irritance. Imagine trying to chat while every 5 minutes a random friend advertises something in your face... with bad spelling.

FACEBOOK USERS, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Back to you, Terra.
