New rulesEarlier this week Omniscient announced that all new groups that aren't entirely paid off will be required to make all group entrance fees directly paid to his newly created LR account. This could be a problem for some members that do not regularly use Liberty Reserve however some members do offer currency exchange services just for this reason. In addition to that Omniscient has announced that anyone posting "Any thanks appreciated" will be repfucked for asking for reputation.

Search function fixed
For unknown reasons some members were experiencing problems with the search function. After searching for a specific thread or post it would take a significant amount of time searching then display that no results were found. Thankfully Omniscient was able to track down and fix the problem in a short amount of time.

Strong Quakes Alarm IranEarthquakes are not out of the norm by any means, especially in Iran. But in the small city of Tehran, Iran, a 6.4 magnitude earthquake (the first one) hit at 4:53 p.m. Just 11 minutes after the horrific quake, another one hit just 30 miles northeast, this time with a magnitude of 6.3. So far authorities predicted there to be a total of 17 aftershocks. It has also been stated that at least 250 people were killed and nearly 2,000 others injured. Many people are suffering from lack of food and water from these disastrous quakes. Authorities have also sent out rescue teams in the area.
Olympics
The Olympics is quite an outstanding view of our worlds goals and accomplishments. It is currently Day 15 for our fellow Olympians and it's a bit hard not to notice the USA. Micheal Phelps has literally set an overall Olympic record for receiving the most gold medals. EIGHTEEN! USA is currently in first, followed by China, and right behind China is Russia. We'll see how it plays out! Day 16, here we come!
Gay Chick-Fil-A?
Chick-Fil-A is a well known food chain that is notorious for its chicken sandwiches. Well, recently they have been a main supporter of the whole "Anti-Gay" movement. Last Wednesday they held an event known as, "Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day." The is pretty much an event that hates on gays. In fact, a gay 24 year-old that has been working at the North Carolina Chick-Fil-A for years now calls it, "Hater appreciation day." Kind of makes sense....

GoogleOn the Google's blog, Google has outlined a new antipiracy scheme that would penalize the sites which contains more copyright flags. Google said that these sites will be lowered in search rankings. With this scheme invented, Copyright owners have flagged more than 4.3 million sites in just 30 days. "We will begin taking into account a new signal in our rankings: the number of valid copyright removal notices we receive for any given site," Google's blog.
Apple
Recently, iDevice users have been facing problems with logging onto their Gmail. Users have been receiving an error message "mail service imap.gmail.com is not responding" when trying to login. Fortunately, Google has been made aware of this issue and is working to fix it. Meanwhile, iPhone 5's battery photo got leaked and it has been said that it'll have a capacity of 1440 mAh, which is higher than the iPhone 4S' and iPhone 4's battery.
Microsoft
Microsoft has decided to switch to the name from "Windows 8" to "Metro," with it's European partner. So this is how it'll go, "Windows 8 app" to "Metro app", "Windows 8 design" to "Metro Design" and so on. Microsoft said that "Metro is our design language. We call it Metro becase it's modern and clean. It's fast and in motion. It's about content and typography. And it's entirely authentic.
Battle.net
Blizzard Entertainment's (Company behind World Of Warcraft and Diablo) internal security was compromised last week and the hackers have taken non-china battle.net's players' emails. However, the company said that their cryptography method is very tough and unique so that the hackers can't crack them so easily. They urged the other users to change their passwords immediately. In addition, the company has also added a security question, mobile checking, and also dial-in authentication to tighten the security.

Nicki Minaj's Free NYC Show Set For Aug. 14Nicki Minaj is doing something for her fans by performing a free show. She is doing this because she did not perform at the Hot 97 Summer Jam in June. The free concert will be at the Roseland Ballroom on Aug. 14th and will be sponsored by Pepsi. This is the same day that Nicki Minah will be on the Today Show. The first 1,500 fans to line up outside the venue after 12:00 p.m. will be granted free admission to the show. Pepsi is also going to provide a live online stream of Nicki Minaj's show.

This is basically my own little corner to type up my thoughts and some standpoints on different topics.There's something really interesting about how the United States of America and China view the Olympics. With these two, anything below a gold medal is a loss. While other countries, are ecstatic to place at all, and support their athletes no matter what. We've (USA) come to expect the best from our athletes, and don't accept anything less. We really should be glad that the best the world has to offer, are all together in one place. They are better than almost anyone judging them, yet they judge them with a grain of salt. Ridiculous, in my opinion.

"What do you think of the two new groups?"
"The two new groups really show how HF is expanding and becoming more profitable.
The two new groups will provide new opportunities for people, alongside a more structured
system that Omni has worked tirelessly at. The new groups also provide us with an idea of
what the community is becoming - stronger! "
-McDork
"Honestly, I see them crumbling down. It may sound arrogant, but when you
think about it, they're all copying off of another group. The Creed at the moment has no
public reason behind it besides the fact that they are a "brotherhood that stays behind for
everyone!" Yet that doesn't make any sense as to why it is an official group? They claim to
be an original group that will help other members, but the last I heard that was already done
by a handful of other groups. The Empire on the other hand, is an all-around group. It's getting
too general and is really making a fool out of itself. To no offense out of the both groups, but
they seem like they are blindly walking through a forest; no cause or idea."

"Both of the two new groups, despite looking good, don't really seem to have much purpose.
I feel like the owners of each of the groups bought them simply so they could say they had a group."
-Brock Obama
"I think two new groups at once is a big thing for HF and will open up opportunities
for people who don't have the skills needed for current groups, like Graphics Masters or Reviewers.
Seeing as the leaders of the groups are trusted members around HF, it looks to be both exciting
and a refreshing change to the usual mundane mood in some subforums."
