TV Pirates Beware!
If you’re a pirate you’re about to get caught! ISP’s in Britain including Virgin Media, TalkTalk, Sky and BT are going to be sending letters to the homes of people who pirate things like Tv Shows.
Letters are expected to be posted this week, starting 17th Jan.
Torrent users are expected to be targeted first rather than people who use streaming video services.
All the letter entails is where to get content legally, its part of the Government’s “Get it Right Campaign” and the letter starts off with “Get it Right from a Genuine Site” they got in touch with Metro:
‘Get it Right is a government-backed campaign acting for copyright owners who think their content’s been shared without their permission.
‘It looks like someone has been using your broadband to share copyrighted material (that means things like music, films, sport or books).
‘And as your broadband provider, we have to let you know when this happens.’
However what isn’t known is what happens if people ignore these letters!
What do you think will happen?

GIANT ROBOTS PARTROL NORTH KOREA!
South Korean robotics firm Hankook Mirae Technology have created a really cool manned giant robot called Method-2! Weighing in at 1.5 tons the machine has drawn comparisons with the Amplified Mobility Platform suit in blockbuster Avatar and is built to work in extreme hazardous areas where humans cannot go or construction sites and even military purposes.
It stands at 13 Feet tall and took only 12months to get to where it is today and if rumours are to believed is acting as a warning to North Korea and Kim Jong-Un – potentially appearing at the North/South Korean border.
However as cool as this looks and sounds the robot is very young in development and can only take very small steps due to it having balance and power problems.
Hanbook plan to have the final version of Method-2 ready for potential buyers by the end of 2017 and is expected to sell for around £6.8 million.

Meet up in Spain!
Two friends went to Spain to catch up as it was cheaper to meet up in the UK!
University friends Lucy Walker and Zara Quil had planned to meet up in Birmingham but they decided to go to Spain after finding out that a return ticket would cost £105!
Lucy discovered that it was cheaper to go to Malaga from Newcastle, priced at £20 return with Ryanair than it was to go to Birmingham.
Baring in mind that Newcastle and Birmingham are only 200miles away and the UK and Malaga are 1,500miles apart, that is pretty crazy!
Zara paid £55.59 to go from Birmingham to Malaga using Vueling a Spaninsh budget airline. They then paid a tennar for the night to sleep in a hostel.
They met up on January 7th and stayed for three nights at the hostel.

Nintendo Charge grip gets pricey!
The guys recently chatted about the Nintendo Switch and as they said it is a little pricey, the console doesn’t even have a game with it.
Now every Nintendo Switch comes with a Joy-Con Grip accesory that holds the two Joy-Con controllers so it forms a controller similar to a regular game pad……….but it won’t charge them. To charge them whilst you’re playing you got to pay for a much pricier accessory called the Joy Con Charging Grip which costs $29.99!
They look different but also the same the only difference is that the switch box on the non charging one is opaque with a matte gray finish while the charging version is gray but translucent.
You don’t need the charging grip to keep the controllers powered, they will charge whilst connected to the Switch unit – there just doesn’t seem to be an option on the Joy Con controllers to plug them directly into a USB power outlet – which is annoying at best.
The Joy Con controllers have a non-removable 525 mAh battery that will last for approximately 20 hours & whether the pads are in a Charging Grip or connected to a Switch, to fully charge them from completely flat to full it will take three hours!
