You would be absoulutely dumbfounded if you knew how many times sharks swim right next you while you are in the water.

You're ruining the ocean for me.

The "Breakfast of Champions"

Hey! We want to help you waste time on a Friday by checking out our weekly feature the Friday Fun Blog!

Each week, we compile our favorite links from around the web to help you pass the time. This week, we have a teeth-chattering puppy, a machine that makes breakfast for you, and a guy getting shot at while playing Pokemon Go.

Check it out here and let us know about other links you've come across while surfing this week!

We just published a blog this morning on RAID arrays, fault tolerance, etc. For someone that isn't well versed in the data storage aspect, I thought it was a nice little insight into how it works.

@SamieWalters is devastated. She's been gently caressing her BB all day.

Each Friday, Colocation America want to help you pass some time at work before the weekend, so the staff tries its best to talk about subjects it doesn't know about--we call it "CLA Reviews".

This week, we talk about our favorite periods throughout history, so join as us three less-than-qualified nerds talk about history despite living in WAY LESS than 1% of it.

Check it out here and let us know what your favorite time period is!

Such a very different Microsoft. Hopefully they don't start pushing bad code.... even since Lenovo went bad I've hated the first through that pops into my mind, because I've been proven right so often now.

The beauty of open source is protection against that.

Open source makes the world go 'round. I'm all for MS joining and boo on them for not doing it sooner.

I would always hope that someone isn't naive enough to think that a major financial institution with their contact info on hand would reach out to them through LinkedIn.

Buuuuuut, I've been wrong before.

Nah... Why would they do that, when they could impersonate a family friend and try to tell me that I won 150k from a non-existent government agency.

Congratulations!

@scottalanmiller @thwr I love tacos, but only for two days at a time.

I have a Samsung Ultra that's pretty decent, but it's a few years old and I'm constantly in fear it will explode on me at any minute.

This is awesome.

The reality is I'll use it for two weeks before realizing learning a new language is tough.

Definitely making this.

Ok, who broke it? Someone fess up NOW.

Ohhhhh! Someone call the burn ward!!

Not because Android just got roasted, but because another Samsung Note just blew up and a guy is literally on fire.

Verizon refuses to participate because some Note 7 users don't have another phone to switch to.

Meh, most of us Android users are capable of learning new languages without the preschool talking head teletubby nonsense. But if I were like 5 or something, I'd be all over this....

Speak for yourself. The talking head teletubby makes learning fun!

Maybe if I ate some mushrooms this would work....

"I CAN TASTE THE LANGUAGES"

@scottalanmiller A hit and run.

Yep, that's the app. I think you can change the settings in General > Storage & iCloud Usage > iCloud Manage Storage > [Choose Device] > Show All Apps and switch it on/off from there.
