AN EYE OPENER !! TIME YOUR MOST PRECIOUS RESOURCE!

When the angel of death came to Joe Smith, to accompany him to his real home, Joe dismissively responded "I am not ready to die as I have so much left to do.

 Do you mind coming back later?"

The Angel replied, sorry your time is up and we must leave now.

Joe enquired, "don't you know who I am? I am Joe Smith, one of the richest men in the world.

The Angel nodded "I know all about you as I do everyone else; now hurry along, Let's go."

Joe pleaded; "if I were to give you 10% of my fortune, which is over a billion dollars, will you turn a blind eye and return a year later?"

The Angel shook his head and replied, "you don't seem to understand Joe. It is time to go"

For the next few moments, Joe tried his best to negotiate with the angel giving away more of his fortune for lesser time. He finally succumbed and offered

"if I were to give you all my fortune, which is 10 billion dollars, will you give me 5 minutes so that I can call my wife and children and tell them that I love them?

I have never told them this and it is very important to me that they know how I feel about them. I also need to seek forgiveness from

2 people that I have hurt the most. All I ask is 5 minutes!"

The Angel paused and looked at Joe curiously and asked, "how long did it take you to make your 10 billion dollars?"

Joe replied, "30 years my friend – it took me a whole 30 years – it's a great deal in exchange for 5 minutes, take it – you will never have to work another day in your life. "

The Angel shook his head and said "I really do not understand you human beings! If you are willing to give up 30 years of your lives' work for 5 minutes, then

why did you not make the most of every minute while you had it? How did you value your time? Where were your priorities? Why did you not say or do the things

 that really mattered?"

The lights went off a second later, Joe was gone. His 10 billion dollars could not buy him the time to do what really mattered.

Google Authenticator, a formidable layer of protection to your account.

​Google Authenticator is a free security app that can protect your accounts against password theft. It's easy to set up and can be used in a process called two-factor authentication (2FA) offered on popular social media services like Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.  The app ( iOS / Android ) generates a random code used to verify your identity when you're logging into various services. The code can technically be sent to your phone via text message every time— but the Google Authenticator app provides an extra level of security.  SMS-based 2FA has a  known security flaw , and any devoted hacker can attempt to  socially engineer  an attack against your phone company. The Google Authenticator app eliminates the possibility of an SMS-based attack  using algorithms  to generate the codes on your phone. Here's how to set it up: 1. Download Google Authenticator from either the Apple App Store or the Android Google Play store. It's free. 2. Nex...

Floyd Mayweather Baby Mama Sues for $20 Mil ... He's a Despicable Liar

Floyd Mayweather could lose tens of millions of dollars from his big payday if his baby mama gets her way ... because she's just filed a lawsuit claiming he ruined her with lies to save his own ass. Josie Harris, who has 3 kids with Floyd, claims he lied through his teeth in an interview with Katie Couric just 2 weeks before the big fight ... when he claimed Josie was in a drug-fueled rage and he had to "restrain" her during their infamous 2010 domestic violence incident. Point of fact ... Floyd was convicted of domestic violence and spent two months in jail. Josie recounts her terror in the lawsuit, explaining how she and Floyd had broken up ... but he flew into a jealous rage that night, broke into her home and viciously attacked her while she was sleeping on her couch ... and her kids saw part of the beating. Harris says she is now labeled a drug addict thanks to Mayweather's lies -- and was embarrassed and humiliated on a global scale.   Her lawyer, Dan Friedl...

Google, harder to search for results from other countries

For a long time, there was an easy way to conduct a Google search in a country other than the one you’re in. If you wanted to get results specific to Japan, for instance, you would visit www.google.co.jp; to get Australian results you would visit www.google.com.au — but this trick no longer works. Google has announced that it will now always serve up results that are relevant to the country that you’re in, regardless of the country code top level domain names (ccTLD) you use. The reason given is a little bizarre. The search giant says that the change has been introduced because of the way people are using the search engine these days. It says: “around one in five searches on Google is related to location, so providing locally relevant search results is an essential part of serving you the most accurate information.” The argument seems counterintuitive, however. Anyone who has changed the ccTLD has done so consciously, and for a reason — for Google to override this decision is strange...
