Meltdown

Meltdown

It’s quite interesting that a significant report has emerged about the vulnerabilities in ARM-based and Intel CPUs, whatever that might mean. It’s being described as Meltdown and Spectre and it always worry me slightly when we identify these issues with names that will freak most of us out.

By the way nobody expected that this would ever happen to Apple, so now everyone’s wondering why they overpaid for Apple, because vulnerabilities aren’t supposed to happen on Apple devices correct, that’s why we pay over the odds for there devices!

And of course at the time of writing, there’s a major storm hitting the east coast of the USA being described as a ‘Bomb Cyclone’ and it looks nasty alright, even Florida has had snow for the first time in 3 decades.

Therefore meltdown is definitely appropriately named to coincide with the snowstorm and the inevitable meltdown that will ensue.

Plus meltdown is a term often used when people lose their mental rational minds and freak out, lose their temper or indeed have a major event occur in their lives that cause some major stress episode.

Well in the case of Donald Trump, who features in all the news headlines yet again on a daily basis is having such a meltdown because of a forthcoming book (released on Friday January 5th, 2017) by Michael Wolff, author of ‘Fire and Fury’, inside the Trump Whitehouse. He’s even tried to stop the publication of this book. Well you know what they say ‘there’s no smoke without fire’ and this president has created some fires that’s for sure.
