So I have been with Straight Talk for 1 year and my very first experience with them wasn't all that great because they must up the porting process of my phone number from Verizon. I was using the Unlocked version of a Moto G 2nd gen and really wanted to have unlimited everything and Straight Talk offered that. I wanted to be able to call my Girlfriend (now wife) who was living 1,300 miles away from me and not have to worry about minutes and text all my friends whenever I wanted. Straight Talk service from the suburban North Illinois was pretty great for being a AT&T subsidiary but the lack of mobile hotspot was pretty saddening for me but I took that most decent prepaid cell services just didn't offer that type of luxury. I started using Wal-Mart Family Mobile about a month ago and one huge thing I see that improved was the coverage support I haven't ran into a dead zone yet....and I live near VA Beach now the support for Mobile hotspot is great even after you passed your high speed data cap you can still use mobile hotspot which is just great too!
Coverage: Straight wins for HSPA+ Family Mobile wins for 4G LTE
Features: definitely goes to family mobile with the addition of mobile hotspot and data saver which helps compress data it just does way better for a lot less money.
Call quality: Straight Talk got really bad if you were on the phone passed 2 hours and would make this weird high pitched sound. Family Mobile doesn't seem to have that issue.
Data Speeds: Straight Talk is faster in most cases when it comes to data on HSPA+ Family Mobile is Decent however in most cases they score the same.

Facebook and . . . *cough* messenger
It's been a couple of years since Facebook started forcing people to install their version of a kik "competitor". And people hated it. . . I mean just Google " how to msg on fb without messenger" and most of the comments are livid. But I must ask "why does Facebook do that?" Simple: because they can.

USB-C "One port to the rule them all" or not???
Alright so anyone who saw the Apple Spring Forward Event you saw the USB-C port.
Now to me optimistic this is great I mean One port for power, projector and display out along with a 10Gbps data transfer speed :D this sounds like a great idea!
The bad news is one port for everything :/ which means USB Hubs which means be careful not to overwhelm that one port i don't see this working out for professionals and hardcore VFX people just yet but lets keep looking on the bright-side and for the computer manufacturers please DO NOT leave us with one port! have at least two and one USB 3.0 :D

WHY ITUNES AND GOOGLE PLAY MOVIES NEED TO GO DRM-FREE
If you've ever bought a movie off the internet with services such as iTunes or Google play the one big draw back is you can only play it on certain devices and at $15-20 for a HD movie thats really steep versus buying a dvd or blu-ray and ripping them.
Now the reason they have DRM is so they can stop piracy but heres the issue,why should the pirates get better quality than people who actually put money into the movie and i think what needs to happen is that the movie studios need to stop worrying about whether it will get pirated"because it will"be make buying the movies worth it. Like giving it to people drm-free so they can burn it on a dvd or blu ray if they want too or put it on their computer and or cross platform device i think it will greatly curve piracy if you make it better for the consumer especially with cloud storage for the movies so they can re download if needed. let me know what you guys think of the blog Thanks for reading :D and sharing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpChtgNXOPw&list=UU1bbyGPzxr2ynqon2Xtnm8w

- digital rights management
- Media companies use digital rights management (DRM) to curtail piracy and protect revenues, but it may infringe on your rights in the process.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEGABITS AND MEGABYTES XD
So when you buy an internet package they advertise something around 15mbps first thing you'll probably ask is how fast can I download a 100 megabyte file we basically you take
15 megabits (mbps) a second and divide it by 8 that's how many megabytes a second you'll get 1.875 megabytes a seconds so lets round that up to 2 megabytes a second which translates into about 50 seconds to download your 100mb file on a 15mbps internet connection.
Hope I cleared the air on this issue!
