The FBI is looking into social networks in an attempt to gather information and form a profile on citizens of America and foreign countries. Apparently they are looking into the feasibility and cost of an app that would automatically scrape information from a number of different social networks so that they can identify potential threats and developing situations. We here at your Maynard Nissan Dealer think that this might have implications for privacy and free speech. [click to continue…]

What words come to mind when you think of Starbucks? Classy, upscale maybe even a little expensive? I bet you never would have thought alcohol. Yes, Starbucks will be selling alcoholic beverages in some stores located in Atlanta and Southern California by the end of the year. We here at your local Clinton Nissan dealer, think that this is a clever idea but may veer people away from the classic and chic cafe. [click to continue…]

Are you a daily user of Facebook? Do you text during work more than twice a day? In the United Kingdom, studies say 33% of employees use social networks while working. Work related or not, both uses of communicating either through a cell phone or computer may damage your position on the job. Here at your local Framingham Nissan dealer, we think that if your business does not require you to text or use Facebook, you may not want to use it if you think it’s going to risk losing your job.

Yesterday massively popular file hosting site MegaUpload was siezed and shut down by the United States Department of Justice. MegaUpload was hosted primarily in Virginia and they leased more than 1000 servers with around 25 petabytes (or 25 thousand terabytes) worth of storage. The indictments stem from a blatant disregard of copyright law and willfully breaking those laws as a business plan. The DoJ looks to seize about $175 million in cash and a whole lot of property from the high ranking execs of the company. We here at your Southboro Nissan Dealer came across some photos of the CEO’s mansion and his cars being seized. [click to continue…]

The New England International Auto Show turned out to be a wonderful experience. Almost every brand of car was there, looking fabulous, clean and extra polished. When you first enter the room, you notice the crisp lighting reflecting off the vehicles. It was hard to choose which direction to go in first, but sooner than later, we took out the cameras and immediately started taking pictures. Here at your local Boston Nissan dealer, we think that everyone should go to this event to witness the beauty of such unique and different types of cars. [click to continue…]

Today is a great day for the internet, after months of debate and lots of mostly useless talking, action has finally been taken. You may find that many of the web sites you frequently visit look different today, and they may be unavailable all together. This is due to an internet wide protest, against prospective online piracy legislation, involving some of the largest most powerful websites out there, including Wikipedia, Google, WordPress, and many others. We here at your Sudbury Nissan Dealer are glad that action is finally being taken to increase awareness about these proposed laws and hopefully get them revised or even thrown out all together.

Terrible news struck a few days ago when a cruise ship tipped on its side off the coast of Italy. Passengers described it as chaos and having no sense of direction or what proper steps to take in the emergency. The captain was steering too close to shore, possibly due to a few too many drinks before boarding, as the ship capsized. Here at your local Sudbury Nissan dealer, we think that this isn’t a promising look for future cruise lines. [click to continue…]

The Patriots played their first playoff game this weekend against the Denver Broncos at Gillette Stadium. If you have any knowledge of how things work in the NFL these days you shouldn’t have been surprised by the outcome. What was somewhat surprising was the level of dominance the Pats showed in their 45-10 pounding of the Broncos. We here at your Hudson Nissan Dealer had no voices after cheering the Pats on, on Saturday. [click to continue…]
