A $200 Gaming PC -- Really?

Can you enjoy a $200 gaming PC? Check out the video below:

While the title of the video calls the build a Google Chrome gaming PC, it's a bit of a misnomer. The intent of the video is to show a very (very) basic build that will allow you to play most of your favorite games albeit with low settings. According to the video's creator Youtuber ShutterVolt Tech "I only mean to say Google Chrome because this is a very basic PC, it's not great by any means, but it is a $200 gaming pc build nonetheless." I would like to mention that he also forgot to mention that the $200 price tag only points to the hardware portion and not the cost of the operating system. So if a person doesn't have Windows they'll need to purchase it which will change the overall cost of the system build. A way around that is to use a free operating system like Ubuntu but that is a tale for another time. Would you be interested in a PC build like this?

Kudos Protonmail: Secure Email For All!

The once invite-only email service from ProtonMail is now available to everyone. What exactly does that mean? Simply put, "you get secure email!" (in Oprah Winfrey's voice). It basically means that you can send and receive email without being snooped on by the government. They won't be able to intercept your emails and see those messages so critical to national security like what's for dinner tonight? can you pick up the kids from soccer practice? Or the dare I say -- that meatloaf was great last night.

End of Yahoo Screen May Mean The End Of Yahoo

Yahoo the once mighty titan of the internet little by little seems to be fading away into obscurity despite attempts by leadership to turn things around. A recent move that may have signaled the beginning of the end for the struggling company was the recent killing off of the Yahoo Screen service, the company's on demand streaming service where shows like Community and Open Space (which was quite entertaining) could be viewed. The service was packed with other shows, TV clips and original content like Chow Ciao a cooking show hosted by Fabio Viviani. Needless to say the Screen service had a lot of potential.

Lack of attracting advertisers for its shows and lack of viewership were cited as major reasons for pulling the proverbial plug on the service. The lack of viewership may have been attributed to entering into the streaming video arena late, seeing how Yahoo Screen was launched in 2013 making it the baby of the bunch in regards to other streaming services such as Youtube (2005), Hulu (2007), Crackle (2007) and Amazon Video (2006).

Considering the success of the other online streaming companies it should have been obvious to the big wigs over at Yahoo that online streaming is the wave of the future that they desperately needed to ride even if the wave seemed to take them under, it was temporary at best. Building a solid foundation in the streaming arena could have definitely been the company's saving grace, but by giving up what may have been its best opportunity to stay in the game, I doubt the company will be able to bounce back.
