Uhm, I've done lots of research. Only thing i'm waiting to see is, any facts or evidence in your defenses. Everything you said, where are their sources? And don't be stupid and tell me that you can back it up, if you can then do it, no one is stopping you, unless you can't? I've said in posts b4 asking where are your sources, you still haven't any. So I have to assume you can't.

There are all my sources... yeah, almost all of them are from one website, but it's a good one. And stop saying i don't read your posts, I read everything that needs to be read. But, you on the other hand, need to read my sources b4 making any claims about them being false, there are lots of hard facts there, so i suggest you read them.

Edit: here's more links.

The one below this sentence relates to the video footage of bush in the class, and of the guy who tells him something to his right ear as bush was reading with the class.

You are right, Osama is a good man, and we should not do everything possible to rid the world of him. we should do everything possible to expose the lies of the Bush administration, even if it means laatching onto lies ourselves.

In fact we should join the terrorists to destory Bush and make sure that he leaves power so we may weild our swords agaisnt the tyrant that is a free America!

DOWN WITH THE INFIDEL!

This conspiracy theory is the dumbest thing I have read in a long time. The site posted on the first page is written by someone who only takes the heat into account. Fire did not "melt" the steel. Fire could weaken the steel. The main structure of the WTC towers was the outer wall, not the inner core. With major sections of the walls missing on the affected floors, the stress on the BOLTS used to support the floors (yes bolts not welds) was enough to crack them because they were poorly insulated and weakened by the heat. The floor then collapses onto the one below. The strength of each floor may have been very good, but we aren't just talking about weight. In physics, collisions show the moment of two object involving mass and velocity. The striking force of the floors above is not just the weight. The floors just below the impact may not have been as seriously weakened, but fuel does seep down and they would've been weakened enought to be destroyed in the impact of the upper floors. The effect just gets stronger as it continues. As for the large dust cloud; the trade centers floors were open and did not contain many concrete walls, only drywall seperation. Drywall easily creates more dust than anything I know of. Combined with the large amount of ash and the heat and pressure induced explosion of the conrete, the dust is easily posible without the use of explosives.

On the theory of government planned destruction. It makes no sense to destroy your own country to create a war, when we can just go in and do it whenever George W wants. Judging by his vocabulary and generally oblivious appearance, I find it hard to believe he has the intelligence and reason to commit to such a plan on a massive level. The complications involved and the stupidity of thinking someone would destroy part of the Pentagon, center of the armed forces, in order to start war ( using the pentagon as a center of operation) is utter ludicrousy

On the Isreal/Palestine problem. Is there really any reason for people to be fighting over such as small piece of land other than "ancestral claim" (which I find is more like religious zealotry). There are better things to worry about in life. Get political leaders that can make decisions instead of fundamentalists that only believe in divine will.

The UN should make the area surrounding Jerusalem into a free region, controlled by nobody. And about the agreements after WW1/2 creating the modern middle eastern map. This should've been left up to the people of the area to decide. Mistakes were made in the dividing lines that will bring bad consequences for decades to follow. Mixing different people together that never wanted to live together does not bode well for success. The map needs to be redone, but sadly I feel it may never happen unless there is another world war (as long as it doesn't kill everyone, which I don't think it would)

So here's to a ****ty future for the time being. Maybe we'll get it right next time

remember: kill terrorism, not ethnic groups. no racial/religious group is responsible, only extremists

How is it dumb? In what way is it dumb? There is evidence, pictures, videos, quoted lies told by united states president. What is there to hide if the President or anybody of the government didn't do it? There is a clear sign that there is a cover up.

Why doesn't it make sense to destroy your own country to create a war? Plus Bush is a dumbass, nothing he does makes sense. Can you not comprehend such a sceniorio cuz you believe that our country is better than this? And please, I really want you to find facts to falsify the claims, cuz I wish to not believe such a scenario can be true as well. After you find facts, please present it and share with us.

Don't forget the torture or humiliation of the prisoners. Remember when the war just had started, remember how america pointed fingers at terrorists or arabs, and said "oh look, they've broken the geneva convention laws". But then we do the same to them, but even worst? All they did was show their faces on tv and made them tell their names and information, but guess what... weren't we doing the same thing at the same time, but we did it with more arabs and more prisoners. It was only after we pointed the fingers to taddle on them that the american soldiers started to put bags over the heads of the prisoners, and try to make it look like " oh yeah, they're doing the wrong thing, we're doing the right thing, looky we have baggies over their heads now.

All that have responded only came in defense of what they believe with stuff like, oh it's not possible, oh it's not reasonable, oh we're better than that, oh this is just stupid, oh that guy is just stupid, but you know what? WHERE ARE YOUR SOURCES, FACTS, AND EVIDENCE TO BACKUP YOUR CLAIMS. No one here has presented any sources to their claims except for me, I wonder why... I have sources to my claims, why don't you? Even tho it's mostly from the same website. So, if you really did read the web links, you'll notice that the website also contain sources to their information. So don't say the website has no credablity if you haven't even read anything on the site.

Yeah, it's possible that the planes were the ones that made the buildings fall, but take note, the first building that fell down, was the least damaged one, with less fire. Most of the fuel of the plane spewed out of the corner of the building where it had hit. Oh the fuel could've leaked down to other floors, but fuel does evaporate, and it does burn easily and fast, and since there was a crash, don't you think a lot of the fuel was sprayed in every direction making it so that it's not in one puddle where it could leak. I play with fire a lot, and i've noticed that if fuel is spread out or sprayed, it burns and evaporates quicker, and if it's in a puddle or something then it will burn slower.

Cmon already, someone backup their claims with some sources. My mind is open, but it seems to me the rest isn't true for most of you in this thread. I'm ready to falsify my own claims, but i have nothing to do that with. So please, give me your sources.

http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/card_bush.html

Oh wow, SO MANY SOURCES. You do realize that with all of those links, you have THREE seperate sources, THREE. Three Web sites you think are telling you the "truth" about what happened. Are you frickin' kidding me? That's like a US citizen telling someone they get all of their news from "The Daily Show with John Stewart", which is satire (using real news). If you can't tell from that, what I'm saying is that your sources are a joke. NO ONE has confirmed anything from these sources except people that are obviously not qualified to do so. If this "conspiracy" were true, don't you think that maybe the ahhh... TERRORISTS would be saying this? Don't you think Osama and his gang would be sending out tapes to Muslim news organizations stating that the were somehow involved with Bush? If any of this was true, they wouldn't need him anymore. They want to throw the US into catastrophy and panic and kill all of the infidels, obviously this would be a good way to do it. But guess what, that hasn't happen, and it never will, because it is not true, period.

The reason the people arguing against you aren't citing any sources is because it would be IMPOSSIBLE to cite all of our sources. It's pointless. You know what our sources are: try every news organization and every government entity on earth. They ALL comply that it was a terrorist attack and that our own government had nothing to do with it. Some weirdo Web site, or a couple, can say whatever the hell they want, but the fact is that they are wrong. Good God, do you believe everything you see on the Internet? Obviously not, because you don't seem to believe 99.99999% of all of the facts and opinions of all of the other news organizations in the entire world (which you silly "whatreallyhappened.com" site is NOT a part of. Aparently you only believe what you think ties in with your twisted beliefs. I'm not saying you are twisted or that all of your beliefs are twisted. Look, I'm not saying you are a bad person for what you think of this, all I am saying is that you are wrong. The reason I can say you are wrong is because, in reality, all of the facts point straight to the fact that this was a terrorist attack planned by Al Qeda and involved ONLY THEM, no one else (including the fact there is no evidence to support the early claims that Saddam may have been involved). If you can give us on, just ONE legitamate source, and not some stupid Web site that obviously has their own agenda, that would be GREAT, otherwise, come back down to Earth.

"Neither had the impacts significantly weakened the structural integrity of the buildings. Even under normal circumstances these flexible buildings swayed so much in high winds that seasickness was a noticeable problem among workers on upper floors. Even on floors near the impact sites, many had felt only a mild shudder as the aircraft struck. "

-From one of those wack-job websites

I can't stand people that think everything is a conspiracy, simply for the sake of thinking that.

The whole seasickness bit, is a bold-faced LIE. The designers of the WTC specifically set up free eye-testing centers, which were actually movement simulators, in order to gauge people's true reactions to wind-swaying. They put these simulators under some pretty extreme simulations, with 100 MPH winds, and people didn't even notice it. You're telling me that seasickness was a regular occurence, when extreme tests yielded no complaints, BULLSH*T.

I'm not even going to address the false boiling point of jet fuel given at these sites. (It's actually 275 C). With such blatant falacies like these, why is this even an issue?

Muslim-Terrorist-Apologists, stop this sh*t already. We all know who did it, and no nitpicking is going to avoid the fact that you beloved "Religion of Peace" bretheren murdered 2000 Americans on that day.

Allen, From Brooklyn, NY. Watched the towers fall that day.

Hey, dumbass, the site also has IT'S SOURCES, so my SOURCES has IT'S SOURCES, i suggest you get perscription glasses and take a harder look.

And you are dumb to think that the media controls the media, well you're wrong, cuz the goverment or people like the fbi or cia controls it. If there is anything incriminating against the government, they will try to surpress it cuz they don't want the people to know and do something about it. And it will get supressed cuz they have the power, and the force to do so. All the history that we learn, it's just all about how great america is, but all the bad things are left out, like how america lost a war to canada.

And yah, osama could do all those things, but maybe osama still works for our government. You know bush has good ties to osamas family. If you don't know that, then you're a dumbass. So if osama works for the government still, then maybe he's just out on the loose just as an excuse, a fake target, just to make a reason for american people to hate the middle eastern country. Didn't you hear all the reports about how bin laden has been spoted, and they could capture him but they won't for some reason? Maybe they donm't want to. Maybe that's part of the plan, who knows, until it's too late.

Hey, at least i'm looking for the truth. Yes i have my doubts, but the facts that i get the pictures i see, the videos i see, they make me think otherwise. Stop making excuses to why you can't prove me wrong, if i'm wrong, there is definately something out there that can prove me wrong, but you guys can't seem to find it, cuz maybe it's true, maybe i'm right. And you think i believe everything i see on the internet, well you're wrong. Hey i know a lot of the things are not true on the internet, but check this out, you believe everything the government tells you? well obviously, are you too dumb to realize that the government has a reputation for lying and covering things up?

I don't believe in just one scenario, i believe in alot of scenarios that could've happened, even what was told on tv, but i'm not sticking to only one story, cuz the one told on tv is bull****. It's obvious there is a coverup, but you closed minded people are too dumb to notice, and believe anything they see. well i gtg, can't finish. tired. of dumbasses. peace out.

I wasn't attacking you. Sorry if you felt that way. I am aiming it at your opinion.

Your view, IMHO, is dead wrong. Your above post, IMO, is dead wrong.

That is my opinion.

Don't take it personally. There is no need for vulgarity. It just goes...well...forget it...

That guy is stupid, his main argument is that steel doesnt melt,

Guy's a moron, site's stupid bs

You are a moron. :rolleyes:

He said the temperature at which Steel melted. And concluded that the jet fuel could not possibly have burned that hot. Then discussed how the building fell into itself damaging nothing around it (staying within its footprint). I don't know what to think about it as I have only Grade 12 physics but it is a really interesting read.

Jeeze how can you have something go so far over your head is beyond me.

The government has plenty of control over media networks. It's so obvious if you look at the news (mainly CNN) and are not American. When i went to Florida (March 2004) (from Ontario) I couldnt believe how ridicules the news was. CNN was showing nothing but Terror this teroor that. Islam attacks this, Muslim extremest, etc etc. I was like 'Where the news THis is BS'.

I wasn't attacking you. Sorry if you felt that way. I am aiming it at your opinion.

Your view, IMHO, is dead wrong. Your above post, IMO, is dead wrong.

That is my opinion.

Don't take it personally. There is no need for vulgarity. It just goes...well...forget it...

Then prove me wrong, i want to get proved wrong. I'll admit that i'm wrong if someone proves me wrong, but no one has. Like i said b4, all the people who don't agree with me, just say, oh that's stupid, oh that's not sensable, oh, he's just a kid, lets call him names, oh but like the news didn't show this stuff so it couldn't be true, oh well shutup and prove me wrong already.

How the World Trade Center collapsed.

http://science.howstuffworks.com/wtc7.htm

I am going to have to agree with some of the other people here, thinking that the government was in charge of all this is just pure crazy.

That page is filled with half truths and broken logic.

First, half that page is about how the temperature wasn't hot enough to melt steel. It doesn't have to melt to weaken, it is common knowledge that heat decreases the strength of steel, but incase you dont believe me. http://www.piping-toolbox.com/40_346.html

Whether the fuel burned gradually at a temperature below the boiling point of jet fuel (360 C), or burned rapidly above the boiling point of jet fuel, in neither case would an office building full of spilled jet fuel sustain a fire at 815 degrees C (1500 F) long enough to melt 200,000 tons of steel.
Wow that is some broken logic. The fire had to melt all the steel in the building for it to collapse??? that is news to me.

And as others have mentioned, it doesn't even talk about the damage caused by the impact of the planes. A 395,000 pound object going 470 miles per hours and then exploding on impact is going to cause a lot of damage.

He also goes on rambling about things that don't really have an impact on anything. Like the concrete

"My experience with concrete has shown that it will crumble under stress, but rarely does it just give up the ghost and turn to powder."  "I am told by a friend that a man named Dr. Robert Schuller was on television telling about his trip to the ruins.  He announced in the interview that there was not a single block of concrete in that rubble.  From the original 425,000 cubic yards of concrete that went into the building, all was dust.  How did that happen?"

Oh so I should be persuaded by his experiences with concrete? Yeah I used concrete to hold a mailbox in place once, am I experienced? No concrete in the ruins huh. I get it now!!!! The government secretly removed all the concrete from the building and replaced it with fake concrete to make the building collapse with a big cloud of dust. Of course it is so simple!!!

He also never says what would have made it collapse if it wasn't the impact and fire. Do you know why? because nothing else would make sense.

Finally! I didn't really feel like wasting my time researching the exact topics brought up in this, I didn't feel I needed to. But it's good that someone did, because this post alone pretty much debunks everything that has been presented as "evidence" pointing to any kind of conspiracy... at least in relation to the buildings not being able to collapse only from the plane impacts/explosions/feul leakage.

Look, if duhk and the others trying to defend their stance on this can't be at least somewhat convinced they are probably dead wrong with this evidence (among any other evidence they could easily find, since it is so abundant compaired to the "conspiracy theory" evidence), then they never will be, no matter how exhaustive the proof against their beliefs on this are. Not only is the evidence on the howstuffworks.com page more accurate and more trustworthy, there is more RELEVANT information there than all of the links provided by duhk combined, and that is just one example of the PROOF that the rest of us have been talking about. You could probably find hundres of such articles all with different or related sources saying the same thing (since I have seen similar stories on TV and in newspapers and magazines).

Now, what we would like to see is someone to come along with some credible sources that could possibly refute the facts and claims in just the howstuffworks.com article alone, and not just from some site that has non-experts (with no past history of any kind of legitimate or accurate article to mention) write COMMENTARIES on world matters by picking and choosing quotes and figures out of context, such as whatreallyhappened.com.

[edit] I would also like to add that if you do happen to read the entire article at howstuffworks.com, you'll notice they give quite a few links to other related articles/sources. [/edit]

Well, i'll read that later, i'm tired from jogging yesterday.

But anyways, Clide. You brought more evidence that says the so called inferno's including the impact of the crash didn't make the building fall. You pointed out that all the concrete was turned to dust, if you have any logic of yourself or any common sense, you would think, hey an "EXPLOSION" is what made the concrete turn to dust. Yeah, it's impossible for government people to come in and remove all the concrete, but an EXPLOSION, is possible to have turned all the concrete into dust.

Oh yah, and since we're talking about the dust, that makes me even think more, where did all the dust come from? Do you remember the videos of the HUGE dust clouds that swept through the streets of new york, yeah well if you guys have any logic, you would think hey, that was too much dust, that can't come from a building that collapsed under it's wieght with the help of a small fire and a plan crash. How does a building collapse create so much dust? Unless something exploded inside of it to turn all the stuff in the building into dust.

Anyways, can someone find me a video of a building getting destroyed by a wrecking ball, to see if i'm correct.

And just shutup already crimsonblur, you're just another old drunk who knows nothing and believes anything you read or see in the news. Just remember, the government has the power and the force to change anything in the news if they see fit. You should look up on the incidences where news channels did stories relating to government stuff, and then it was posted on their webpage, but for some reason, it just disappears.

If there were enough explosives planted in the building to turn all the concrete in the building to dust (assuming a collapsing building doesn't turn concrete to dust, which I haven't seen any evidence to prove that) Then don't you think that people in the building would have noticed explosive control wires/fuses running around the building? Or perhaps see someone planting them? They would have to plant them in nearly every concrete pillar on every floor. Or that the fire spredding throughout the building would detonate the explosives prematurely? Or perhaps you are referring to one large explosion? Well frankly an explosion large enough to do that would blow out the windows of all the buildings for a couple miles. As well as making a massive fireball and send parts of the building flying in all directions.

I personnally do not have much experience with concrete, but the forces involved in a collapsing building of that magnitude are tremendous. And I don't doubt for a second that they would be able to turn concrete to dust. Please point me to information that proves otherwise (not one of your conspiracy sites, they don't prove it) or why you have significant experience with the structural properties of concrete.

I also question how two of the largest buildings in the world managed to fall down on itself, especially when the North Tower supposedly was weakened on one corner, not all (like the South Tower which received a direct impact)

Its like many engineers have repeatedly said after the event "it looked more like a controlled demolition"

And just shutup already crimsonblur, you're just another old drunk who knows nothing and believes anything you read or see in the news. Just remember, the government has the power and the force to change anything in the news if they see fit. You should look up on the incidences where news channels did stories relating to government stuff, and then it was posted on their webpage, but for some reason, it just disappears.

Another old drunk? Not only is that a completely out of line statement, you are also wrong. I am neither old NOR a drunk. I am 22 years old, and I very rarely drink. Actually, the last time I did drink I think I was posting my first post on this topic, and that was the first time I had touched alcohol in over a month.

I will NOT shut up just because you disagree with me, just like I wouldn't expect YOU to shut up just because I disagree with you on this topic. To say so is basically admitting to someone you cannot refute their arguement. You don't TELL the person to shut up, you MAKE them shut up by providing irrefutable evidence to back up your claims so they have nothing more to say. Either that, or the arguement becomes a standstill because neither side can EVER agree. Look, I would not be replying to you telling you I think you are wrong if you could put ANY credible evidence in my or anyone else's face regarding this issue, but all you have done is given us a bunch of links from some whaco Web site.

The fact that you have to resort to petty name-calling and [virtual] yelling throughout this "conversation" makes it obvious that you are at the very least immature. I could say what else it implies, but I'm not here to attack you personally, though you seem to be just fine attacking people personally and calling people stupid because they don't agree with you and don't believe a word that you type. The closest I WILL come to a personal attack is by telling you a little something I have learned over the years witnessing court cases (my father is a former attourney and now a judge) and just simply living life. People that resort to name-calling, yelling and unrelated references in a dispute of any kind are any combination of the following three things: 1) lying 2) incopetent 3) bias. In more simeple words (which you may require), in a debate such as this, these three things would be translated as so: 1) wrong (and maybe also lying) 2) no clue what they are talking about 3) have a pre-determined conclusion regardless of any and all evidence presented to them.

Now, all of that being said, I will concede that this issue will never be resolved in a forum on Neowin, no matter how much evidence either side has against the other. That much is obvious. I really wasn't going to say anything more, but I really had to make some kind of response after you called me "just another old drunk who knows nothing and believes anything you read or see in the news". That statement is not only false, it is offensive to me personally. And if you were any kind of intelligent, decent person, you would aplologize to me immediately after reading this post. After making statements like that, which you have repeatedly done throughout this topic in regards to a number of individuals, any credibility you may have had or obtained is completely thrown out the window. Good day. ;)

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • ExplorerPatcher 26100.8457.70.3 by Razvan Serea ExplorerPatcher is a versatile and free tool that allows you to tweak and enhance the Windows Explorer. It comes with a range of useful features, including the ability to add new context menu items, change file name colors, and enable hidden features. Feature summary Choose between Windows 11 or Windows 10 taskbar (with labels support, small icons and lots of customization). Disable Windows 11 context menu and command bar in File Explorer and more. Open Start to All apps by default, choose number of frequent apps to show, display on active monitor and more. Choose between the Windows 11, Windows 10 and Windows NT Alt-Tab window switcher with customization. Lots of quality of life improvements for the shell, like: Skin tray menus to match Windows style, make them behave like flyouts and center them relative to the icon. Choose action when left and/or right clicking the network icon. Revert to the Windows 7 search box in File Explorer, or disable Windows Search altogether. Disable immersive menus and use mitigations that help you run the real classic theme without glitches. Discover the program's full range of features by reading this wiki article. ExplorerPatcher 26100.8457.70.3 changelog: Tested on OS builds 22621.4317, 22631.7079, 26100.6899, 26100.8037, 26200.8246, 26200.8457, 26300.8493, and 28000.2113. TIP: Windows Defender no longer flags ExplorerPatcher. It is no longer needed to configure Defender exclusions. Enjoy! Important Update for Windows Insider Users If you're running Windows 11 Beta build 26220.8474 or Experimental build 26300.8493, updating ExplorerPatcher is highly recommended. Microsoft has removed parts of the old Windows 10 Start menu from these builds, which caused ExplorerPatcher's Windows 10-style taskbar and Start menu to crash. This update fixes those issues and ensures Explorer starts correctly after future Windows updates. Because the required components are no longer included in Windows, the Windows 10 Start menu option has been disabled on these builds and future builds that lack the necessary files. A temporary workaround is to replace StartTileData.dll with a version from build 26xxx.8457, but this solution may stop working in future releases. The good news: development on the Windows 10 Start menu isn't over yet. More updates are planned. Highlights Fixed crashes affecting the Windows 10 battery flyout on Windows builds 25951 and newer. As part of that fix, network flyout buttons now behave like they did before Windows 11 version 24H2. Changes to the Primary taskbar location on screen setting now apply instantly without requiring a restart. ExplorerPatcher no longer modifies Windows 11 taskbar auto-hide settings when Explorer starts. The Open Start in All apps by default option is now hidden when the new Windows 11 Start menu is enabled. Fixed Windows 10 Start menu crashes on very early Windows 11 builds (21996–22000.51). Fixed a crash in Registry Editor when switching to thumbnail view during registry import/export operations. Improved compatibility with recent Windows builds, especially ARM64 and upcoming 26H1 releases. Improved overall ARM64 performance. Added Greek language translations. Thanks to @KonVetsos! ep_taskbar Improvements ep_taskbar now supports all 43 Windows 11 display languages. Fixed several issues in the system tray and other taskbar components. For mod developers: DLL naming has been simplified and made easier to understand. For mod developers: internal TrayUI changes provide better stability across Windows builds that use different taskbar implementations. Windows 10 Start Menu Improvements To help preserve compatibility, ExplorerPatcher now includes a newly recreated version of the tile layout engine that Microsoft removed in build 26xxx.8474. Current limitations: Tiles may occasionally overlap when pinned in certain ways. Restarting StartMenuExperienceHost.exe or Explorer usually corrects the layout. Further improvements are planned. Additional Fixes Added a blacklist that prevents ExplorerPatcher's shell extension from loading inside specific applications where it may cause problems. Updated Windows 10 Start menu animation support for newer ARM64 Insider builds. Fixed a rare taskbar initialization deadlock that could occur during startup. Start10 Updates Addressed a new compatibility issue caused by Microsoft's ongoing removal of tablet mode code in Windows 11 25H2 Experimental builds. Pinned tiles are no longer reset after repeated crashes. Various wording and interface text improvements throughout the application. Translation and UI Several interface strings have been cleaned up and clarified. Thanks to @sefinek for wording improvements. Please consult the README for more details.

    • Here's how to grab your share of Apple's $4 billion lawsuit payout (if you qualify) by David Uzondu Image via DepositPhotos.com A UK tribunal has approved a collective legal action letting a $4 billion (£3 billion) claim against Apple proceed to trial after consumer rights group Which? formally accused the company of violating competition laws. The tribunal recently set a full trial date for October 2028. Which? filed the lawsuit way back in November 2024, accusing Apple of trapping users in iCloud by restricting rivals from fully accessing iOS. Apple gives users only 5GB of free space, and once that limit vanishes, the system drives upgrades by repeatedly nudging users through notifications. The group claims Apple overcharged millions who bought plans ranging from 99p a month for 50GB to £54.99 a month for 12TB. If Which? wins the now-greenlit lawsuit, the court will force Apple to pay out damages to roughly 40 million UK consumers, with each person receiving around £77 for the pricing abuse. Apple has already put out a statement telling Reuters that the allegations are completely false and that consumers do have choices. "We work hard to make iCloud a great experience, but no customer is required to use it, and customers in the UK have plenty of alternatives to choose from," it told the outlet. The good thing is that if Which? wins, claiming your share requires almost no effort due to the automatic structure of the litigation. You are eligible if you used Apple's iCloud services between November 8, 2018, and June 8, 2026, and paid for upgraded storage during that time. The tribunal automatically enrolls everyone living in the UK on June 8, 2026. The system operates on an "opt-out" basis, meaning you do not have to register right now, and you will just verify your details to collect your cash. However, if you want to leave the claim, you must notify Which? by October 8, 2026. But if you lived outside the UK on June 8, 2026, you must manually register on the official Which? website before October 8, 2026, to opt into the action. If you ignore this deadline, you will lose your chance to grab a share of the settlement. On a related note, Google recently had to resolve a massive data privacy fight by agreeing to a payout of over $170 million to Android users. In that lawsuit, plaintiffs argued that Google programmed the Android system to transmit user data without permission, wasting cellular data. To settle, Google agreed to pay a $135 million nationwide settlement alongside an extra $35 million in California. Eligible Android users must submit online claims to secure their cash, with the final approval hearing literally taking place today (June 23, 2026).
    • Microsoft outs Windows 11 KB5095093 with long list of new features by Sayan Sen Microsoft today has released its newest preview update (C-release) for the month of June 2026 under KB5095093, builds 26200.8737 (for Windows 11 25H2) and 26100.8737 (on Windows 11 24H2). The update brings new features across various elements of the OS including the Windows update, the Recovery, Widgets, File Explorer, and more. The full changelog is given below: First up we have the features rolling out gradually: [Point-in-time restore for Windows] New! This flexible recovery feature helps you quickly roll back your PC, including apps, settings, and personal files, to a recent automatic restore point. It helps reduce downtime and simplifies troubleshooting when issues occur. To learn more, see Point-in-time restore for Windows. [Windows Update] New! A calendar experience in Windows Update Settings (Settings > Windows Update) lets you pause updates by choosing an end date, for up to 35 days. You can extend the pause by selecting a different end date and re‑pause updates as needed. For more information, see Pause updates in Windows. [Widgets] New! A quieter, more focused Widgets experience helps reduce interruptions and improves default settings and notification controls: Reduce distractions: Widgets no longer open on hover. Notifications and taskbar badges are minimized by default. Simpler: Open to the Widgets dashboard by default on first use. Customize: Configure Widgets how you want by selecting Settings in the navigation bar, then changing any of the default settings. Stay informed: Dashboard icons show the number of alerts, and badges clear automatically when you leave a dashboard. Adjusted defaults: Some default settings are preserved based on usage, while others adjust to reduce interruptions. Performance improvements: This update provides improved reliability, responsiveness, and visual quality across the Widget experience. [Accessibility] New! This update makes your screen easier to see and customizes your zoom experience: Screen tint: Apply a full-screen color overlay to help reduce eye strain and improve readability. Choose from preset tint options, adjust the intensity, or turn it on automatically. Find this feature in Settings > Accessibility. Magnifier: Enter a zoom percentage directly and change it in increments in the Magnifier window for more precise, flexible control. Magnifier settings menu: You can now also modify zoom increments directly from the magnifier bar instead of navigating to Windows Settings each time. [File Explorer] New! When you hover over a file in File Explorer Home, commands such as Open file location and Ask Copilot appear as quick actions. This experience is now supported for work and school accounts (Entra ID).1 Improves the speed and performance of File Explorer launch.2 Fixes an issue where the OneDrive shortcut in File Explorer stops working when File Explorer is run with administrative mode. The address bar now supports paths containing double backslashes and quotation marks (for example, C:\\Users\\user or "C:\Users\user"), improving compatibility with a wider range of inputs. The address bar suggestion dropdown is more reliable and now consistently closes after an item is selected. This update addresses an issue on File Explorer Home where OneDrive files could appear duplicated in the Favorites section. This update includes several refinements to the Rename experience: Addresses an issue where text was repeatedly selected when renaming items in folder views. Addresses an issue where case-only name changes were not immediately reflected in folder views for items stored locally or in the cloud. [Bluetooth] This update improves reliability and performance when connecting to and using Bluetooth devices: New! Windows now keeps the microphone mute state in sync between the audio mixer and the Hands-Free Profile (HFP) for a more consistent experience with Bluetooth headphones with mute buttons or indicators. Accessory compatibility workarounds: Improves compatibility with specific Bluetooth audio devices, helping AirPods appear faster in pairing mode and improving microphone reliability on Beats Studio Pro headphones. Bluetooth audio stability: Improves overall Windows stability with certain PC manufacturer drivers (error code 0x9F). Improves Bluetooth reliability for voice calls when using Classic Audio devices with the Hands-Free Profile (HFP). Reduces time for LE Audio accessories to start playing audio while using the microphone. Device management: Windows will no longer show a “Remove failed” message when attempting to remove Bluetooth devices if the Bluetooth radio is unavailable or has changed since pairing. Settings experience: Improves stability when using the Bluetooth & devices settings page for a smoother, more consistent experience. Connection reliability and responsiveness: Reduces the time it takes for classic Bluetooth audio devices to reconnect after Windows resumes from hibernation. Improves reliability when LE Audio accessories disconnect, such as when another device (for example, a phone) connects. Improves reliability of LE Audio streaming after a connection is lost and restored. [Bluetooth and Phone Link] This update improves audio routing for calls made through a connected phone: When an outgoing call is dialed from a paired phone, audio remains on the phone while ringing and transfers to the PC only when the call is answered from the PC. When Do Not Disturb is enabled on Windows, incoming call audio from a paired phone no longer rings on the PC. [Voice access and voice typing] New! You can now use voice access and voice typing in French, German, and Spanish. As you speak, your PC improves your text in real time. It corrects grammar, punctuation, and recognition errors, and helps improve clarity—even in the presence of background noise. This makes dictation smoother and reduces the need for manual edits.3 [Audio] This update improves the reliability of the inbox HD Audio driver. [Taskbar] This update improves the reliability of opening the Start menu when selecting the left edge of the taskbar when the icons in the taskbar are left-aligned. [Networking] This update includes networking improvements for virtualized environments. Confidential Virtual Machines (CVMs) now use SR-IOV hardware acceleration by default for improved network throughput, and a configuration issue in nested Hyper-V virtualization network setup has been corrected to ensure reliable VM network provisioning. This update improves the reliability of the Windows networking stack. It reduces bug checks (blue screen errors) related to Wi-Fi power and improves cellular (WWAN) connectivity, including support for IPv6 VPNs. Compatibility with third-party VPN software and SR-IOV configurations on server hardware is also improved. Network adapter settings and bindings are now preserved across OS upgrades. [Printing] New! New printer installations use Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) by default when supported, simplifying setup and improving reliability. For details about third-party driver deprecation, see End of Servicing Plan for Third-Party Printer Drivers on Windows. To control this behavior, use the toggle in Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners > Default install printers using Windows Ready Print. For more information, see Introducing Windows Ready Print and modernized driver selection. For more information, see Introducing Windows Ready Print and Modernized Driver Selection. [Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)] The update improves usage of WSL in mirrored networking mode with VPNs. [Display and graphics] Improves the reliability of rendering content while scrolling for certain apps spanning across multiple monitors. Improves the reliability and persistence of applying color profiles. [Location services] This update changes how some location settings are displayed in Settings > Privacy & Security > Location to help with clarity. When location services are turned off, settings like Default location and Allow location override don't immediately apply, since location information is not given to apps or services. These settings will now be greyed out when location services are off to reduce confusion over when they take effect. [Search] This update improves the reliability of setting Search related group policies. [Input] New! You can now customize the size of the right-click zone in Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Touchpad. Choose from default, small, medium, or large to control how much of the bottom-right corner responds to a single-finger right-click. This setting is only available on touchpads with a pressable surface. If your device manufacturer provides customization through their own app, a Custom option will appear to reflect those settings. This update improves recognition of English characters when using Japanese handwriting. [General performance] Improves the time to shut down Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) when you turn off your PC. [General Reliability] ​​​​This update improves the reliability of explorer.exe. It addresses issues on the login and lock screens related to third-party credential providers, reduces the probability of taskbar icons appearing as blank gray placeholders, and improves navigation to Home in File Explorer during OneDrive sync. It also improves explorer.exe reliability when switching between desktops, enhances app launch with shell extensions, and using acrylic blur effects in the Start menu, Settings, and the lock screen. [Apps] Resolves an issue where some installers and applications could show unexpected elevation (UAC) prompts after installing KB5089549. [Remote Desktop] This update refreshes the dialog design when you enable Remote Desktop in Settings > System > Remote Desktop. [Graphics Kernel] Improves memory-management policy that allows PCs with more than 32GB of installed memory to run larger local AI models. Up next we have the features under normal rollout: [Secure Boot] With this update, Windows quality updates include additional high confidence device targeting data, increasing coverage of devices eligible to automatically receive new Secure Boot certificates. Devices receive the new certificates only after demonstrating sufficient successful update signals, maintaining a controlled and phased rollout. [Authentication] This update improves Netlogon secure channel connections between domain controllers, enabling successful connections from member servers to domain controllers set up before 2025. [Emoji Panel Update] The emoji panel (Windows key + period (.)) now uses GIPHY for GIF content following the deprecation of Google’s Tenor API. Starting June 30, 2026, install the latest Windows update to continue using GIFs in the Emoji panel. If you don’t update, you will see a "GIF service is not available" error in the panel. Installing the latest Windows update will restore access to GIFs. [Networking] This update improves how your device connects to shared network resources. Connections used by apps and system features, such as the NetUseAdd function, now work more reliably, including unauthenticated (null session) connections. [Recycle Bin (known issue)] Fixed: This update addresses an issue where the confirmation dialog might display an internal Recycle Bin file name instead of the original file name when permanently deleting a file. This issue might occur after installing the June 2026 security update (KB5094126). [Taskbar] This update improves notification badge display across your apps. Notification counts and badge visuals now update correctly, helping you stay up to date with new activity. You can choose to manually download the update from Microsoft's update catalog website at this link.
    • Hands-on with BOOX Tappy: cute little reading accessory by Taras Buria Page turners are quite popular accessories for e-readers, as they enable a hands-free reading experience, which is particularly useful with large readers featuring 10-inch or larger displays. The BOOX Tappy is a new accessory that was introduced earlier this year, and we took this cute-looking thingy for a spin. The Tappy comes in a small box, with two additional buttons and a user manual. The device is made of glossy green plastic and resembles old appliances from the nuclear age. Material quality is great, and each part feels quite premium. Plastic is high-quality, the switch is nice to flick, and the buttons are not rattly. At the bottom, four rubberized feet prevent slipping when used on a desk. Unfortunately, there are no color options, and the Tappy is only available in green. It looks good, but I wish there were other options as well. There are two removable buttons, an on/off switch, and an LED indicator that displays connection mode, charging status, and more. The buttons resemble those of an old typewriter, with quite a long travel distance and a pleasant clack. In the box, you have four buttons with different icons: heart, coffee, O, and X. You can easily swap buttons by simply pulling them upwards. Tip: buttons come with plastic covers, but they are quite tricky to remove. It is hard to call the Tappy the most ergonomic remote control, but after fiddling with it for a few hours, I managed to find a comfortable hand position. Attaching a lanyard to it can make it more comfortable in use without the fear of dropping it, but unfortunately, the Tappy does not come with one. The Tappy connects via Bluetooth 5.2, and it works in three modes, which you can toggle by pressing and holding both buttons for about five seconds: Reading Mode Multimedia Mode Browsing Mode Next / Previous page Next / Previous Track Up / Down scroll If you pair the Tappy with a BOOX device (I tested it with the BOOX Go 10.5 Gen 2 Lumi), you will get small pop-ups indicating the current mode. Plus, you can customize what each button does when pressed one time, two times, or held for a few seconds. The list of available actions and features you can use is massive, and I like that BOOX lets you map stuff like brightness adjustment, app launching, screenshot-taking, screen rotating, navigation, and more. Note, however, that while you can use the Tappy with other readers, its customization is only available on BOOX devices running firmware version 4.2 and newer. I could not connect the Tappy to my computer (Windows 11 claims a driver error when I try), but it worked with the DuRoBo Krono that I recently reviewed. My Kindle Paperwhite refused to work with the Tappy, though, just like my iPhone. The Tappy uses a non-removable Li-Ion battery, which can be recharged with a Type-C cable. BOOX rates the remote for "weeks of use," and I can say that it indeed has very good battery life. While there are no battery indicators on the remote, you can see the current level in the status bar or in Input settings in the BOOX firmware. After a few days of active use, mine still shows about 95%. Overall, the Tappy left a nice impression. It is well-made, and the integration with BOOX devices is great. I also like that BOOX decided to have some fun with its design and swappable buttons. I cannot say I am a fan of its odd shape, though. Still, I managed to find a way to use it comfortably. And when not in use, it just looks neat sitting on the table doing nothing or serving you as a small clacky fidget.
