Kickstarter has been hacked!

Email I got from Kickstarter

"On Wednesday night, law enforcement officials contacted Kickstarter and alerted us that hackers had sought and gained unauthorized access to some of our customers' data. Upon learning this, we immediately closed the security breach and began strengthening security measures throughout the Kickstarter system.

No credit card data of any kind was accessed by hackers. There is no evidence of unauthorized activity of any kind on your account.

While no credit card data was accessed, some information about our customers was. Accessed information included usernames, email addresses, mailing addresses, phone numbers, and encrypted passwords. Actual passwords were not revealed, however it is possible for a malicious person with enough computing power to guess and crack an encrypted password, particularly a weak or obvious one.

As a precaution, we strongly recommend that you change the password of your Kickstarter account, and other accounts where you use this password.

To change your password, log in to your account atKickstarter.com and look for the banner at the top of the page to create a new, secure password. We recommend you do the same on other sites where you use this password. For additional help with password security, we recommend tools like 1Password and LastPass.

We’re incredibly sorry that this happened. We set a very high bar for how we serve our community, and this incident is frustrating and upsetting. We have since improved our security procedures and systems in numerous ways, and we will continue to do so in the weeks and months to come. We are working closely with law enforcement, and we are doing everything in our power to prevent this from happening again.

Kickstarter is a vibrant community like no other, and we can’t thank you enough for being a part of it. Please let us know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. You can reach us ataccountsecurity@kickstarter.com.

Thank you,

Yancey Strickler
Kickstarter CEO"

I'm not dead!!!

Hello reader! It has been quite a while since I've posted anything on this blog, but seeing as I got a Nexus 7 for Christmas, that is about to change. Nexus 7 review will be coming up within a week, and I will hopefully will be posting at least biweekly from then on. Isn't that exactly what you've been waiting for?
No?
Well f**k you...

Coming Soon: Windows Surface RT Review

I have come across a Windows Surface RT. I will write a review on it later.
And yes, I did need a whole post just to tell you this.

NOTE: As I was typing this (on the Surface btw) it froze. Good job Microsoft.

POST NOTE NOTE: There will be no review. I didn't have enough time with it.

POST POST NOTE NOTE: And now, 4 years later, I'm working on one. I bet the suspense is killing you...

LazyAppReview #1 - YouTube Capture

To watch the video, click here!
(It's also embedded below)

This is the first video in my probably-not-long-running "Lazy App Review" series. Today's app: YouTube Capture (made by Google). It's not bad, but I find it strange that there's not a way to add a description to your video, which I found out while I was trying to upload this. Ironically, this means I'm using the native iOS share option.


PROS: Great idea to share videos to all your social networks at once • Color Correction and Image Stabilization • Built in 'YouTube Soundtracks'

CONS: Crashed multiple times • Couldn't seem to connect to my G+ circles • Inability to add a description or tags or category to video

Overall: ★★★☆☆

Will He Blend? (A Rediculous Short Story)

   Imagine that the "Will It Blend?" guy has gone crazy. His videos are not as popular as they used to be and he is obsessed, looking for a way to make the best "Will It Blend?" video of all time. He decides to blend HIMSELF!!!
   However, he knows that voluntarily jumping into a giant blender and turning it on is something he probably won't willingly do, so he decides the only option he has is to clone himself, and put the clone in the blender.
   What he didn't think about was the clone having the same strength as himself, so he makes another clone to help him put the first clone into the giant blender. He didn't plan on the two clones deciding that HE should go into the blender. He manages to escape them and hide in a closet, but the clones are clever. The two original clones make even more clones so they can find the original guy faster. One of the clones' clones finds the original guy in the closet, but the original guy hits the clone with a mop, and manages to escape again.
   The clones' clone calls for help, and soon the original guy is being chased by the clones and the clones' clones. He runs out of the building, and into a nearby field. The group of clones chase behind the original guy. However, due to the equal strength and stamina of the original guy, the clones, and the clones' clones, this fearful chase is one that will go on until the end of time...
