- Taobao is some sort of marketplace like eBay or Amazon I guess. It's Chinese. So is WeChat which is some sort of Chinese Facebook Messenger/Facebook thing.
- I hate how the word bimonthly can either mean twice a month or every two months in the English language.
- tbh means "to be honest"
- Visual J++ is Microsoft's version of Java which no longer exists and Delphi is some offshoot of Pascal.
- www stands for World Wide Web
- .epub is an e-book file format.
- MFC (Microsoft Foundation Class Library) is a C++ library for desktop apps.
- INETA is the International .NET Association. (i.e. just another .NET User Group)
- MoviePass, bundled with iHeartRadio which allows one to listen to some radio stations online, has a price tag that has fallen under $37 per month. Go get it while it's cheap. If you see four movies in the next three months you are in the black.
- 123movies.com is another movie piracy site. Some of the kids I work with who use this stuff are telling me that the playback from these movie piracy sites has gotten choked down really slow. Is it a DDoS attack from Hollywood or just what happens when you don't have Net Neutrality?
- Solidity is another programming language and I think there is some Ethereum stuff that uses it though I don't really know what I'm talking about.
- Those maps on your iPhone haven't been Google Maps in a long time. The iPhone maps are now Apple Maps. You may independently download a Google Maps app for the iPhone from the App Store.
- Apple Lisa was an old desktop computer.
- Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel) came up with the term Nerd as best as I can tell. It's a goofy being in one of his books.
- Internet Explorer for Mac ...it was a thing for a little while.
- Wire JS is a JavaScript IoC (Inversion of Control) container. I kinda thought HorseJS was something for that too, but the more I look at it the less it makes sense.
