Why do I not trust this? Why must I be so cynical?
Oh. Right. It’s Google. Well, at least we know they’ll never use this for evil. What would be the benefit of that?
Oh. Right. It’s Google. I’ve had to create a new blog category for them. See if you can guess which one it is …
Great. Yet another opportunity to lose my money.
Actually I’m thrilled. I’m always on the look out for ways to use my money without actually carrying cash. I’m getting pretty good at it already. In the past two months I’ve only used cash to pay my favorite windshield-washing homeless guy. I can’t wait for him to start accepting PayPal.
Finally, a chance to use more fingers than just the middle one while driving.
Now if you’ll put down your phone, your Big Mac, your mascara and/or your electric shaver, you’ll be able to concentrate on lane changes and turn signal use. No? Well, you can’t blame me for trying.
Did you get your Leopard today?
No? Me either. You know, I just don’t have the enthusiasm I used to get over a new OS release or upgrade. Wait. I was never enthusiastic. Unless you count how happy I was to have Windows 95 (which came out in ’98) replaced by Windows 98 (which came out 15 minutes later. Thank God.).
OK, Apple has been no where near as crappy as Windows with its OS software, but still the thrill is gone. I want a new computer company not a new operating system.
China is jumping on the wearable bandwagon by putting out some interesting new products. This field is sorely lagging. We need much more innovation – and practical innovation at that – to reach the potential that was visualized ages ago.
We’ve got the device size down really well, now it’s time to concentrate more energy on… well, energy. Compact power units are a necessity now.
Remember the days when you could tell the good guys from the bad?
I don’t know who to root for any more and I’m not sure there is anyone out there worth rooting for. I miss the good old days of information free for alls and “Do no evil.” Whose clutches do we avoid these days?
I’m tipping to entirely open source. Let companies and people earn their money the old fashioned way.
Now this is the enthusiasm for space that we need to rekindle the world over – beginning at home. I know, wars and all that, but hopefully the next administration will will be a lot more conducive to life in space and on Earth.
Rockets belong in space, not on city streets.
A new wave of moon watchers is being born in China as the country prepares for the launch of a lunar orbiter. I’m so jealous. I mean the International Space Station is an excellent thing, but giving up an the moon after expending so much money, time and human lives to get there was simply stupid.
We should already have a Golden Arches up there.
Hard to believe this is even an issue that needs to be raised. Teaching evolution has become revolutionary. Florida students are apparently getting the same education that fundamentalist third world countries offer their (male only please) students.
We might as well limit public education to reading of the bible and how to ask “Do you want fries with that?” in all the languages of the many countries that will soon be technologically and socially superior to us. Yes, that would include Arabic.
Paper or plastic? Kill a forest or an ocean?
Really, I’m having a hard time finding words for this. I know these weren’t random bags and crap that just decided to come together and form a new state. Somebody had to dump this stuff. Somebody big.
But it doesn’t take away responsibility we as trash-producing individuals have to face.
