I agree with Apple and here is the scoop:

“iPhones 'disabled' if Apple detects third-party repairs “ Shared from the AP 

The latest software update for iPhone 6 handsets is allegedly rendering the devices useless if it detects repairs not carried out by Apple.

The problem is known as "error 53" and has appeared in Apple products before.

The Guardian reports that users' phones were disabled after the Touch ID home button was repaired by a non-Apple engineer.

The issue appears to arise once devices have been updated to the latest operating system, iOS 9.

In its report, the Guardian cites the experiences of a freelance photographer, Antonio Olmos, who says the problem occurred on his phone after he upgraded its software.

"When Olmos, who says he has spent thousands of pounds on Apple products over the years, took it to an Apple store in London, staff told him there was nothing they could do, and that his phone was now junk," the paper notes.

Photos 'irretrievable'

Many iPhone 6 customers have been discussing error 53 online.

At Apple's discussion forums, one user named wallihall wrote: "With this update I'm unable to use the phone, and still have to pay for the phone itself.

"I did get the front screen replaced, and I understand that it's now considered "tampered with", but at least let me use my iPhone on the old IOS system... I can't retrieve old photos or important documents I once had."

Apple told the paper that iPhone software checks whether any repairs were authorized by Apple.

A spokeswoman said: "When an iPhone is serviced by an unauthorised repair provider, faulty screens or other invalid components that affect the touch ID sensor could cause the check to fail if the pairing cannot be validated.

"With a subsequent update or restore, additional security checks result in an 'error 53' being displayed."

The Domain Name Service (DNS)

The hierarchical distributed naming system for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network is known as Domain Name Service, or commonly known as DNS. 

DNS associates various information with domain names assigned to each of the participating entities. Most prominently, it translates more readily memorized domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of locating and identifying computer services and devices with the underlying network protocols. 

DNS provides a worldwide, distributed directory services,Domain Name System is an essential component of the functionality of the Internet.

For more information on DNS and other facts on “The Internet”, or anything else you could possibly think of you want to learn what it is, check out Wikipedia!

Here is a list of Domain Name Service DNS Record Types & description for each, Enjoy!

A (Host) records: A records (also known as host records or address records) point a domain name or subdomain to an IP address. For example, if you want your domain "domainnamegoeshere.com" to point to your home computer (whose IP address is, for example, 172.0.0.1), the A record would list "domainnamegoeshere.com", or "@" as the host and "172.0.0.1" as the "Points To" IP address. Entering "@" for the host name is the same as entering your domain name, minus the "www". Entering "www" for the host name is the same as entering your domain name, including the "www".To create a wildcard A record, enter an asterisk ("*") for the host name. The wildcard makes the server respond with the IP address specified instead of an error, if the subdomain queried does not exist within your zone file.

CNAME records CNAME records (also known as alias records) point a subdomain to an existing A (host) record so that the domain points to the appropriate IP address.Entering "@" for the host name is the same as entering your domain name, including the "www".The Points To Host Name should be defined as your domain name (i.e., "www.domainnamegoeshere.com") or "@" (Entering "@" will automatically insert your domain name as the host name for the CNAME Record). The Alias field should be the subdomain of your top-level domain the CNAME record points to your domain.For example: If you want the CNAME record to point "www" within your domain to "www.domainnamegoeshere," you should enter "www" in the Alias field and "www.domainnamegoeshere.com" in the Points To field. If you want the CNAME record to point "email" within your domain to "email.domainnamegoeshere," enter "email" as the Alias and "email.domainnamegoeshere.com" as the Points To Host Name.

MX records MX records are for routing email that is addressed to a particular domain name. Like a CNAME record, an MX record points one domain name or subdomain to another domain name or subdomain for which an A record exists.Entering "@" for the host name is the same as entering your domain name, minus the "www." Entering "www" for the host name is the same as entering your domain name, including the "www".

TXT records TXT records hold descriptive text, either general information about a domain name (contact names, numbers, and addresses) or protocol-specific information for protocols such as SPF. Note: Using TXT records for SPF information is being replaced by the SPF record, itself.

SPF records Sender Policy Framework (SPF) is an industry standard record used to prevent domain spoofing and spam by verifying the source for e-mail messages.To create a new SPF record, select one of the mail provider descriptions to the left and complete the information below.

SRV records SRV records (also known as service records) are responsible for localizing specific domain-related services such as FTP, HTTP, and SIP. For example, a client issues a request for the SRV record to find the host name that provides the service for a specific domain. The service may be used on that domain or may be called from a different domain.

AAAA IPv6 records AAAA records store a 128-bit Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) address which does not fit the standard A record format. For example, 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:6a2e:0371:7234 is a valid 128-bit/IPv6 address. It maps the host name to an address associated with a domain name and specifies that AAAA records must be processed.

NS records NS records specify the authoritative nameservers (both primary and secondary) for the given domain. The authoritative nameservers are identified by name, not IP address. For this reason, an A record must exist for the specified nameservers. Without it, connecting to the servers might be impossible. In every DNS zone, there must be at least two NS records.

The trillion dollar medical industry is not about to give way to more humane healthcare treatments yet. A number of holistic doctors, one of whom was doing extensive research about the root causes of autism, were found murdered in Florida and other states.

The Medical Industry is guilty of Mass Manslaughter for Profit

Ask yourself “Who is protecting them?”

Here’s the timeline:

1) June 19th, 2015 – Dr Bradstreet, formerly of Florida and now practicing in Georgia, was found with a gunshot wound to his chest in a river. The small town locals ruled the death almost immediately as a suicide, but many have their doubts. This same day in Mexico three doctors were traveling to the State Capital to deliver some papers and went missing (this is the only case outside of the US). Authorities said they found the bodies, but the families say those bodies look nothing like their family members and they are demanding more proof and more testing. A sad but riveting article was written about those details here.

2) June 21st, 2015 – Father’s Day: Two chiropractors, Dr. Holt and Dr. Hedendal (both reported to be fathers), both presumably healthy and described as fit, are found dead in Florida on the East Coast. We still have no cause of death listed in the articles we can find on either one. A few people have contacted me about Dr. Hedendal, 67, but admit that they were surprised by his death and still find it shocking. I’ve been given a few potential causes of death, but I remain uncertain; even the friends sharing with me weren’t totally confident their information was correct. Interestingly, Dr. Holt (33), lived in North Carolina which is the state where Dr. Bradstreet’s body (the first doctor to be found) was discovered two days prior. Dr. Holt was visiting Jacksonville, Florida, though, when he died there. Dr. Bradstreet (see story #1) was living in Georgia, at the time of his death and before that, he lived in the neighboring state of Florida.

3) June 29th, 2015 – The beloved holistic Theresa Sievers, MD was found murdered in her home.  Her co-worker says she was known as the “Mother Teresa of South Florida.” Her husband and children were in Connecticut at a family reunion. The authorities have been investigating for two weeks “around the clock,” and now say that she was targeted. Her murder was not random, nor was it a home invasion; when the facts come out, “…books and movies will be written about it.”, it’s that big of a story.  On the same day, Jeffrey Whiteside, MD, a pulmonologist went missing, vanishing when he simply “walked away”. Dr. Whiteside, known for his successful treatment of lung cancer, disappeared in Door County, Wisconsin, while vacationing with family. They say he was on foot and simply vanished without a trace; numerous reports call it “mysterious,”. They’ve been searching now for two weeks, and even colleagues have joined in (along with bloodhounds, drones search parties, and helicopters) but not one shred of evidence has surfaced in two weeks.

4) July 3rd, 2015 – Dr. Patrick Fitzpatrick, MD goes missing. He was traveling from North Dakota, to neighboring Montana and his truck and trailer were found on the side of the road. The search has expanded but authorities say it’s like he vanished without a trace. He’s 6′ tall, with a goatee and an Irish accent. Details can be found in the link.

5) July 1oth, 2015 – Lisa Riley, DO (Doctor of Osteopathic medicine) is found in her home with a gunshot wound to her head. Her husband called it in to 911, he has a prior record, and he was actually charged with attempted murder on his ex, Ms. King, before charges were eventually dropped. Evidence showed that there was gun residue found on Ms. King’s hand, and not Mr Riley’s. Riley’s story corroborated this, but King’s allegedly didn’t, and her story kept changing. At least that’s what the evidence showed at the time (click link in this paragraph for their story with details).

According to the mainstream media, Dr. Jeff Bradstreet was said to have been “peddling autism cure” and was under government investigation prior to his “suicide”.

“According to a federal government warrant, the offices of controversial autism doctor Jeff Bradstreet were the target in June of a search related to an experimental drug for autism. The compound, globulin component macrophage-activating factor, known as GcMAF, is one that Bradstreet reportedly used in “over 2000 children” with autism. Bradstreet, according to authorities in Rutherford County, NC, committed suicide there on June 19, after the search warrant was executed in late June.

According to the copy of the warrant provided to me by the United States Attorney’s Office of the Northern District of Georgia, the search warrant was executed at Bradstreet’s Buford, GA, ‘wellness center’ because authorities were seeking information related to “evidence of a crime and contraband, fruits of crime, or items illegally possessed” associated with violations of interstate commerce statutes covering food, drug, or other products that are “adulterated or misbranded” and with “frauds and swindles” by “wire, radio, or television.” Punishments for those convicted of these crimes can include fines and up to 20 years in prison.

The warrant specifically references GcMAF and any records related to sale, shipping, billing, and delivery of GcMAF. It also covers Bradstreet’s financial records and Internet activities.

GcMAF is thought in some circles to modulate the immune system in ways that make it a treatment for everything from autism (which some believe is immune related) to cancer. Bradstreet was the focus of GcMAF and autism in online communities, with discussions centered around “doing the GcMAF through Bradstreet” in online forums. One forum references a link to Bradstreet’s blog as having “several posts” related to GcMAF, but a search of the site in its current iteration turns up no GcMAF-related hits (ETA: Those posts apparently were deleted, but you can read some of at these links here, here, here,here, and here). At least some users who discussed doing GcMAF treatments through Bradstreet appear to have been US based and discussed traveling to his offices for the shots. The shots appear to have cost about $50 each.

Bradstreet’s name and GcMAF for autism are closely linked in online searches. He alsopublished a paper in a now-defunct journal on the subject, and a video of Bradstreet talking about using GcMAF for autism is available on YouTube. Three studies related to GcMAF as a treatment for everything from autism to cancer have been retracted in the last year, and the UK government issued a warning about the manufacture of GcMAF after discovering that one factory producing the protein was using plasma marked, “not to be administered to humans or used in any blood products,” according to the research publication watchdog site Retraction Watch.

Bradstreet’s death has led to a swirl of online speculation about a conspiracy to murder alternative medicine practitioners, fueled by reports of the murder of Florida doctorTeresa Sievers, who is described as being known for her work with transgender patients, and the death of another Florida doctor, Bruce Hedendal, 67, who was found dead in his car, reportedly of natural causes. Hedendal reportedly served a prison term in the early 2000s for tax evasion. Bradstreet also had Florida ties.”

Dr. Bradstreet went to Rocky Broad River just to shoot himself in the chest…Come on be serious.

CHIMNEY ROCK, NC (FOX Carolina) –  The Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office said they received a report about a body in the Rocky Broad River in Chimney Rock on June 19.

Deputies said the body was found by a fisherman. The body was removed from the river and was identified as James Jeffrey Bradstreet of Braselton, Georgia. Bradstreet had a gunshot wound to the chest, which appeared to be self inflicted, according to deputies.

Divers from the Henderson County Rescue Squad responded to the scene and recovered a handgun from the rivers, according to deputies.

Bradstreet’s body was sent to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center for an autopsy on Wednesday. The case remains under investigation.

If I want to kill myself, I’ll do it from where I am standing right now and certainly not in the chest. That’s for the other person to target.

Better still, I’ll use my remaining time fighting against this imposed corrosive system. That’s a far better, certainly more productive suicide.

Otherwise, they will be able to continue the slaughter:

“… apparently the holistic doctors who were all being killed in FL had found out via their research that the nagalase enzyme protein is INTENTIONALLY being added to the population via immunizations. Nagalase STOPS vitamin D from binding to the Gc protein. This completely strips a human being’s body of it’s natural ability to kill cancer cells.

Nagalase is a protein that’s also created by all cancer cells. This protein is also found in very high concentrations in autistic children. And they’re PUTTING it in our vaccines!! This prevents the body from utilizing the Vitamin D necessary to fight cancer and prevent autism. Nagalese disables the immune system. It’s also known to cause Type 2 Diabetes. So basically…they weren’t killing these doctors because they had found the cure to cancer or were successfully treating autism… they’re killing them because these Dr’s had been researching and had the evidence that the vaccines they’re injecting our precious children with are CAUSING our current cancer and autism crisis!! And that it’s obviously being done knowingly and on purpose! The Dr’s they killed in FL had been collaborating and were getting ready to go public with the information.

… Dr Ted Broer broke it on The Hagmann & Hagmann Report and it took them a whole hour just to get him on air b/c their 3 hour show was brought down and every line they tried to use kept disconnecting…and then their servers were brought down. … a full hour into the show they were finally back on the air and connected to Dr Broer and the first thing he said was “I am in no way suicidal.”

We have reached a point where governments are rendered obsolete by prevailing technologies and are in fact actively hindering their full utilization.

The government now exclusively serves the interest of the corporations and has effectively become the enemy of the people it has sworn to serve and protect.

Listen Up YOU READING This:  

The CDC and FDA have already officially admitted that there are vaccines they found that contained mercury, aluminum, viruses and other carcinogens, and that these drugs were recalled only after huge money were made and countless deaths were counted.

As for Nagelese and other things that are causing cancer, ITS IN THE VACCINE you just took your children to get, That is, by the way, MANDATORY if you want any help / assistance or a Free Education for your kids from the US GOVERNMENT...other problems... other issues....

.... DOES IT MAKE ANY SENSE YET?

Whether you are a location independent entrepreneur, work at an office, or otherwise, you are probably spending somewhere in the range of eight hours a day at work. Perhaps when you add commuting, that goes up to 10.

Say you need to sleep eight hours a night (you really should be). That means out of your available time, you’re spending about 63% of it at work, for a large chunk of your life.

If you’re going to spend that much time on something, you better make sure you’re enjoying what you’re doing. You only have one shot at life.

How can you tell? Here are some key signs that you enjoy your work:

1. Time flies by and you lose yourself. You enter a flow state.

Flow is a nearly transcendental state where time ceases to matter–what is in front of you is all there is, and worries and other tasks slip away. It happens when you do something that is really enjoyable (like playing a musical instrumental you love) or being with someone you really care about.

It’s the same thing when you are doing work you really love. Time slips away and you look at the window swearing that the sun just came up when you see it’s dark outside.

And the best thing about the flow state–it feels good.

2. You feel like you are doing something of value. You feel fulfilled.

Humans feel happy when they are connected to others, but also when they give or create something of value. It doesn’t have to be curing cancer (of course that would be amazing!); it could be more simple like being a carpenter and building things that people want or need. Whatever the job, you feel a deep sense of gratitude for being able to help and serve people. You feel like you are giving back and giving people your unique ideas, abilities, and talents.

It’s another thing that defines how a happy person lives their life, and how you too can stay happy daily.

3. You are excited to wake up in the morning.

If you aren’t ready and raring to get up in the morning, something might be amiss. Of course, everyone has off days. But if you continuously dread going to work to a serious amount, it might be time to change.

Whatever you do should get you excited to get up and hit the ground running full speed. It might involve you focusing on something about your job that you didn’t see before, but it should get you up and excited.

4. Your co-workers and superiors are seen as partners to give and produce something.

When you see the people you work with not just as other bodies in the office or guys who give you TPS reports to fill out, you are in the right place. You should see them as helpers with whom you can create something big. Maybe you aren’t the big boss deciding what that is, but you believe in what you’re doing, and you love that you get to work and struggle along with these people to make it a reality.

5. You do not complain.

Many people complain about their jobs:

“It’s too early.”

“It’s too far.”

“I don’t like the people I work with.”

“I hate what I do.”

If you’re constantly complaining, you either need a mindset change (start appreciating what you have, compared to say, being unemployed and struggling to pay any bill) or it’s your internal guide showing you that you need to find a different job you would enjoy more.

Whatever the case, in work you enjoy there may be times you complain about work load or an annoying task. But overall you know these are small potatoes compared to the happiness that comes from doing what you love.

6. You don’t mind the struggle.

Work can be a struggle. Writers spend hours editing and must work daily. Artists may do entire portraits and then throw them out. Engineers come up with designs that are faulty and have to go back to the drawing board of equations and figures.

But when you enjoy your work, you don’t care. You love the struggle. You love coming back, refining, and the process of progression to get what you want. The end goal of producing something amazing is worth it.

7. You get energized when you talk about what you do.

When people ask, “What do you do?”, you get revved up. You can’t shut up about it. That is a sign that you love what you do and you want everyone else to know.

8. You feel like your work is an extension of who you are; it is a part of your personality.

Work ceases to become work when it’s not just a means to an end. The perfect work is something that deeply resonates with something inside of you, and makes you able to output amazing quality and hours upon hours of production. You are expressing yourself and feel amazing and congruent with it.

9. You find yourself interested in extra items not assigned to you.

When you really enjoy your work, you’ll want to learn about your company or things that you might not be directly responsible for, but deal with the work in general. Even if you don’t have to do certain things, you want to learn more.

10. You feel tired at the end of the day, but in a satisfied way.

There’s a difference between feeling tired because you accomplished a lot, versus being tired because you had to drag yourself kicking and screaming through the day using lots of your willpower. If you feel accomplished, satisfied, happy, and like you produced something of value when you work and that makes you tired, you’re doing it right.

Always remember:

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.

AVG CloudCare Antivirus and Security Software

At around 8 am EST on the morning of January 26, 2004, a computer worm, later to be named "MyDoom," began spreading rapidly on the Internet. Within a few hours, average web page load times had gone down 50 percent, overall Internet performance was down 10 percent, and roughly 10 percent of all e-mails sent that day originated from the malicious code. Google, Altavista, Lycos, and several other major websites and services were hit hard by the MyDoom worm, which, before it was contained, had cost an estimated USD 38 billion in lost productivity and commerce. This largest malware attack of the last decade serves as an illustrative example of the importance of keeping one’s computer safe from hackers, viruses, trojan horses, worms, and other malware. Aside from the costs associated with malware attacks on a grand scale, there are several other reasons for protecting one’s computer. This guide lists 6 reasons why you should invest in AVG CloudCare antivirus and security software.

Reason 1: There Is No Such Thing As Free Protection

Though the Internet is abundant with antivirus and security software available as free downloads, it is generally worth investing in the full-featured software package from AVG CloudCare. The reason for this is that although free alternatives certainly do protect computers from malicious software, they are generally stripped down in terms of functionality. The average computer user is typically not very experienced with what goes on "behind the scenes" of their computer, and may be unaware of the many ways a computer can be infected. Many commercial antivirus programs offer enhanced protection, such as running potentially infected software in a "sandbox" (or virtual environment) protecting the computer from spam, detecting phishing attempts, and blocking potentially malicious websites. Free antivirus and security software usually only serve as demos of the full-featured versions.

Reason 2: Antivirus & Security Software Compatibility

Another reason for investing in quality antivirus and security software from AVG CloudCare is that it comes in a ready-to-go bundles, which cover all potential ways malicious code can enter a computer. To be fully protected, a computer should have both an antivirus program to detect worms and viruses, and a firewall to block out hacker attacks. The advantage of buying quality antivirus and security software protection from AVG CloudCare is that you get both of these types of protection in the package, eliminating any compatibility problems that may arise when using security software from different manufacturers on the same computer.

Reason 3: Viruses And Trojans Operate Undercover

People sometimes argue that they are able to avoid infections simply by employing common online sense, i.e. not opening spam e-mails, avoiding suspect websites, and never downloading suspect software. The problem with such arguments is that they tend to ignore one of the very traits of the computer virus; it operates undercover. Even people who are cautious online can have their computer infected unknowingly. Most websites you visit use Java applications in one form or the other, most people tend to receive e-mail attachments, and most people are, from time to time, unknowingly redirected to third party sites they have not had the chance to assess the credibility of. More importantly, all humans are susceptible to effective manipulation. Trojans can be impressively well crafted fakes, posing as legitimate programs, routine updates to Java or Flash Player and can trick even the most experienced user into clicking "Update" "Install" or "Open." Common sense goes a long way to protect against malicious code, but any computer running without quality antivirus and security software risks being infected. Even worse, if there is no security software installed, any potential infection can manipulate system files and in turn become "ONE" with files, or they might remain undetected until it is too late.

Reason 4: Personal Data Matters 

Your Computer is literally a Digital Copy of YOU ! Computers have become such a natural part of daily life that people sometimes forget the amount of crucial data they store on them. Family photos, bank account details, work related material, school papers, passwords, usernames, address books, calendars, music, movies, private documents, account information for banks and credit/debit cards, social securtiy numbers , addresses, dates of birth etcetera. All of it could be destroyed irreparably by a potent enough virus, or, perhaps worse, could come into the possession of a capable hacker. One kind of virus is called a KEYLOGGER literally creates a LOG File of every key stroke made on your system, and can give a hacker all your information faster than you can say DANG. Particularly as people become more mobile, with USB storage devices and file sharing technologies developing at a fast rate as well as the increase in electronic mail communication (e-mail), the number of ways of coming into contact with infected files keeps increasing. For a virus to spread, it may take nothing more than for a trusted friend to pop her USB stick into a peer’s computer and open a movie file. AVG CloudCare not only protects computers from the attacks themselves, but also offers CloudBackUp to back up important data, should the hard drive fails or the computer becomes infected or attacked.

Reason 5: Protecting Others

Another reason for investing in AVG CloudCare antivirus and security software is for moral reasons. People who choose not to install real antivirus and security software put potentially millions of other computer users at risk. Viruses operate by spreading from one computer to the next, and each unprotected computer potentially facilitates the spread of malicious code by serving as a weak link. If not to protect oneself, therefore, one should invest in AVG CloudCare antivirus and security software for the general protection of others. The fewer unprotected computers there are, the more difficult it is for computer viruses to spread rapidly across the web. Having antivirus and security software installed is similar to accepting a shot of vaccine  to prevent it from spreading via unprotected agents.

Reason 6: Avoiding Future Repair Costs

Buying a new computer can be an expensive investment. AVG CloudCare Antivirus and security software is available at relatively affordable prices. Investing in high-quality antivirus and security software is like buying an insurance, in that it may prevent the need for future computer repairs, which can become almost as expensive as buying a new PC. Most viruses target only the computer’s operating system and, if worse comes to worst, can be removed by wiping out the entire hard-drive and reinstalling the operating system. However, there are malicious codes out there that target the computer’s hardware. One type of code that can pierce so deeply into the computer system that it may be necessary to replace the hardware is what is known as a BIOS virus. Detecting and cleaning out a BIOS virus can become such a challenge that even a physical replacement of the BIOS chip may be necessary. In the face of such threats, though they are much rarer than operating system infections, investing in AVG CloudCare antivirus and security software seems like a reasonable preventive measure.
