  • WWE: Clash of Champions Predictions [UPDATED]

    Hi everyone.

    It’s that time of the month again (Yeah, sorry that I forgot about Backlash…) where we predict the results of matches being held on WWE RAW’s PPV, Clash of Champions which is on this Sunday night at 1am on WWE Network and from https://taima.tv/r/sc

    Bold = Winner
    (c) = Champion

    Kick-off Show

    Alicia Fox vs Nia Jax = PREDICTION: Nia Jax. Alicia may be 10 years with the company but that doesn’t mean that she finally gets a push. A dominating show from Nia Jax would see her victorious over Alicia.

    Main Card

    Non-Title Matches

    Cesaro vs Sheamus in the final of the Best of 7 contest – PREDICTION: Cesaro. Well, who was surprised that this was going to happen. Cesaro needs the win over Sheamus and we need to get Cesaro in the title picture! No contest

    Sami Zayn vs Chris Jericho in a "I’m a better friend of Kevin Owens" match – PREDICTION: Sami Zayn. Ok, I made up the match name because that is essentially what it is. If this is really a under-rated match, then it should be on the Pre-Show…but alas, it is on the main card.

    Title matches

    The New Day (c) vs Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson for the WWE RAW Tag Team Championship – PREDICTION: The New Day. New Day should be able to break the records for holding the title belts for the longest time. Hopefully they can keep it until WM 33.

    Rusev (w/Lana) (c) vs Roman Reigns for the WWE United States Championship – PREDICTION: Roman Reigns. Roman needs a belt in some shape so he can look strong. It will give Rusev a break so he can go on a proper honeymoon with Lana!

    Charlotte (w/ Dana Brooke) (c) vs Sasha Banks vs Bayley for the WWE RAW Women’s Championship – PREDICTION: Bayley. Everyone wants Sasha to get the belt off Charlotte but I feel that there will be an upset victory for the Women’s Division.

    TJ Perkins (c) vs Brian Kendrick for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship – PREDICTION: TJ Perkins. They wouldn’t have TJP have the belt for a couple of days just to lose it at the first PPV….while I can see a fued between the two, I can’t see the belt changing hands quite yet…Maybe at the Royal Rumble it will change.

    Kevin Owens (c) vs Seth Rollings for the WWE Universal Championship – PREDICTION: Kevin Owens. KO is a new belt and again, he is keeping it warm for Finn Balor who will get it back whenever he returns from injury. Now, will the title have many changes between now and then? Probably not, so they will keep it on him for now. But Seth could pull an upset victory….unless there is interference from someone (probably Triple H)

    And that is my predictions, what do you think? Let me know in the comments below.

  • [YCFRO] Apple

    Yesterday, Apple announced the new iPhone 7 and 7+ which now does not include a 3.5mm headphone jack.

    Instead, they are bundling a lightning connector version of the same product and if you REALLY want to use a 3.5mm headphone connector, you can use the included adaptor.

    What in the actual hell are you thinking Apple? How is removing a key feature of any device in the past 10 years ‘courageous’?

    What brain did you nuke before making a design decision like this? Why are you charging $150 for a pair of Bluetooth "AirPods"?

    Just…WHY?!

    There was nothing wrong the the 3.5mm headphone jack. I use it every day to go to and from work, at lunch, when I’m travelling and now I have to carry extra battery packs because my iPhone battery and the battery in the "AirPods" are going to die in less than 12 hours of use.

    Why remove the headphone jack to include another camera?

    As I joked on Twitter:

    iPhone 8: Removed cellular, wi-fi and speakers!

    It shall be known as the Apple Camera.

  • Quick Tip: Vodafone Internet Leasing every 24 hours!

    I got back from England last week and I didn’t get in the door until about 10:40pm. When I walked in, I turned all the lights and switches on for all different things, including my Internet.

    It wasn’t until the next night that my Internet had went down for 3 minutes while playing a game (Which lead to me getting kicked and losing connection to TeamSpeak etc etc) – I thought nothing of it at the time.

    It wasn’t until later into this week that I realised that the time that you switch on the router is the most important time!

    Vodafone has some weird setting (Not sure if on the network level or on their Router level), but the Internet will only stay up for 24 hours before leasing it. Leasing should be getting you a new IP address, NOT bringing the whole connection!

    So what is the solution?

    The solution would be (That I have found) is to switch off the router at the wall (the plug) either before you get home from work, or during the night when you are normally sleeping. I got off work early yesterday, so I switched the router off at 5:20pm and switched it back on at 5:23pm.

    With that logic, my Internet should go down at approx. 5:23pm today (Saturday) and I should notice it. But that would mean that when I am about to finish up work at 5:30pm, the router will have already rebooted and ready to use that night!

    Oh Vodafone, you and your quirks!
