Isn't modern technology WONDERFUL ?
« on: May 09, 2015, 12:49:16 PM »
Feeling a bit bored before going shopping this morning, scrolled through the news and found this little gem -

' Kardashians can be blocked from your life '  ( WHOPPEE !  :clap :clap :clap )

Sometimes an invention comes along that has life-changing capabilities.

Edison created the lightbulb, Steve Jobs launched the iPod and now James Shamsi has created the KardBlock.

The KardBlock is an internet tool that will block all Kardashian news and content from your internet feed.
“If there’s anything on your newsfeed, the website you’re on, whatever... we simply make it disappear .
“You won’t ever know the stories about the Kardashians are there, because you won’t ever see them,” the KardBlock website promises.

On the website, the creator James Shamsi speaks for a lot of people in the world when he says, “We’re tired of logging on to any site and seeing stories of the Kardashian family overshadow REAL news.”

The KardBlock tool is a version of AdBlock, which blocks ads on YouTube, Facebook and all ads by default, and has been downloaded over 200 million times.
EVEN BETTER NEWS TO COME SOON --->  “We are also working on customization to block content related to Justin Bieber,” Shamsi writes.  :hatwave :like

The website is kardblock.com. All it requires is your email address and then that’s when the magic happens.

NOW - all I have to do is have my Kaspersky Total Security check their website for anything nasty - then there's no more of that whole bl**dy annoying family ! :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup   

Wonder if this lovely website can give us something to block out the worst bunch of pin-heads we have to put up with every day. ( Oz politicians  :cuss )

DISCLAIMER - AT THIS POINT IN TIME, I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING MORE THAN THE INFORMATION ON THE NEWS SITE - IT'S UP TO EVERYONE TO DECIDE FOR THEMSELVES IF IT'S SAFE TO USE OR NOT.
