It's-a Getting Hot in Here! Tech Giants Beef Up Security Amidst Protests - Mama Mia!

Microsoft Build ing Up Walls! Wahoo!

It's a me Mario reporting live from the Mushroom Kingdom... I mean the tech world! Seems like things are getting a little... how you say... spicy! At Microsoft's big Build conference someone shouted 'No Azure for apartheid!' during a speech. Poor Jay Parikh he probably wished he had a Super Star to become invincible eh? And Satya Nadella? Well let's just say his keynote got a 'Womp!' when an employee yelled about Microsoft uh 'helping' things that aren't very mushroom like. These employees were fired later; as they always say it is better to be kind than right!

Google's Got Guards Galore! Wa ha ha!

Meanwhile down in California at Google I/O it sounded like Fort Knox! Black clad security guards were checking bags like they were hunting for Bowser's secret weapon! Lipstick and lady products?! Even over the counter pain meds?! Mamma Mia that’s stricter than Princess Peach guarding her cake! Makes me wonder if they thought someone was going to throw a Goomba at Sundar Pichai.

Tension in the Air: More Than Just Goombas! Yahoo!

Everyone is feeling a little how do you say…anxious! It all started last year and the world has become more divided; especially with the advancements in AI! Now the technology companies are taking sides by selling to military and governments. Things are as crazy as trying to drive a kart on Rainbow Road blindfolded!

Security is Serious Business: No Time for 1 Ups!

Richard Dossett from American Global Security says they've seen a big jump in security requests lately. Tech companies are working more with governments and people aren't happy. They don't want extra hassle! No one does especially when I’m trying to rescue a princess!

Code of Silence? More Like a 'Shh!' From a Shy Guy!

Microsoft is trying to control the chatter too. Employees are saying emails with words like uh 'Gaza' or 'genocide' weren't getting through. A Microsoft representative stated they were trying to reduce emails to those that have not opted in. Is it me or does that sound like something Bowser would do to keep secrets from me? Meanwhile Google had protesters outside chanting 'Don't Be Evil.' Sounds like a Koopa Troopa giving advice!

Undercover Plumbers... I Mean Guards! Let's a Go!

Kenneth Bombace CEO of Global Threat Solutions says tech companies are hiring undercover guards! They're hiding in the crowd looking for... trouble makers! At Build the undercover security guards were telling the real security guards about suspicious looking individuals. I bet they blend in as well as I do when I'm disguised as Mr. Video Game! And Pichai from Google? His security costs went up 22%! It is all one big crazy game of Super Mario Brothers here!
