There’s got to be a catch

Check this out.

It’s a damn smart move and every other kid on the block is smacking their foreheads with the palms of their hands because they didn’t think of it first.

I say line all of them up for a stooge slap. There should be one mobile network and it should be accessible through any device capable of accessing for communication purposes. It would be the best thing since sliced - HEY, WAIT A MINUTE!

IT WOULD BE LIKE THE INTERNET! HOLY SHIT!

You’ve probably heard of it. It’s a place where you can go and shop, read books, chat with people, get your news, research for a paper. It’s been rather successful since they started putting pictures on it.

I know I’m being rather ornery about it, but the mobile industry needs to step into 2007.

When are we going to learn?

I don’t feel to comfortable supporting this guy.

Mr. Musharraf reminds of me of this guy.

Well, if you read all of the last link, you know how it will end.

You’d be paranoid too if everyone was out to get you

There’s some pretty harsh rhetoric in this one.

Meddling in Russia’s business, huh? We’ve only been doing it since the 1930’s, silly. I thought you would know, Mr. Putin. I thought you were a former KGB member. I will say he is consolidating his power and has created the nationalist fervor necessary to do so in the wake of good economic ties after Russia had been through such bad ones. Carpe diem, folks. Mr. Putin has seized his opportunity and will soon begin consolidating his power.

Remember,  Hitler was elected, too.

You’re doing it wrong

Oh no…not again.

This is not the way to protest, people. I know that the employment situation is France is bleak and that the Native French population has grown to dislike immigrants, but vandalism, rioting, and arson, no matter how enjoyable to do the three may be, are just not the way to draw attention to a problem that can peacefully be resolved.

As you can tell in the last story, courtesy of The Gaurdian, France looks down on the margins of society, except that margin is closet to one-third of the entire population of the country. Sounds a bit like the good ol’ U.S. of A., where our margin comes in at 25%, only from a much larger population, but let’s not make this about us. Nope, I think I will make it about us.

The situation in France should be studied very closely, because IT COULD HAPPEN IN THE UNITED STATES. I hate to tell you, folks, but we have got to start assimilating the immigrant population, just like like we did over one hundred years ago. It sucks, I know, but we better start making nice, because it is what this country was founded on. I think the word I’m looking for here is freedom; freedom from whatever they left in their country and live a better life here, with more opportunities to live a prosperous life, and a better environment to raise children in.

Don’t get me wrong , though. No one should get a free handout. You adapt to OUR society. There are no concessions or exceptions, because America already has enough rules and regulations. Just obey the law, pay your taxes, and mow your lawn. A lot of other immigrants from countries across the globe have done it before, so you can, too.

We have our own agenda…sorry

What a surprise.

You know China is not going to say anything because it would be the proverbial “pot calling the kettle black.” China also doesn’t want anymore scrutiny on their human rights issues than they already have. It’s just a shame they’re the only country with enough clout inside of Burma that could force any kind of change in the situation. Why would the other members of ASEAN care, anyway. The people suffering under oppression in Burma aren’t voters in their countries. I forgot, you can’t vote in the other ASEAN member countries, either. The U.N. knows not to try an bother anymore. The military junta in Burma kicked all the U.N. representatives in the country out and China is going to veto any proposed resolution that even hints at any type of possible measures to persuade the junta to change. The U.N. is a joke and people around the world are suffering because of it.

It’s shameful.

Here’s a good question

Here’s a nice little take on the gaming console situation.

I seriously doubt that the unavailability of a Wii will substantially boost the overall sales of a PS3 like another purchase price cut would. I still think comparing the Wii to any other gaming console is like comparing apples to oranges. Nintendo created a niche in the console market, making a more physically interactive video game experience. Past Nintendo products like the Power Pad, Zapper, and Super Scope was just foreshadowing. As advanced as console games have become, the best the other manufacturers could do was allow communication via a headset, a vibrating controller, a miniature plastic simulated guitar with buttons on it, and a pad to play a dancing game on. I feel compelled to go by Dance, Dance Revolution right now. *shaking head right to left*

So when does anything get done in France?

The transportation strike enters day seven.

You only have to work thirty hours a week in the first place, Pierre. In fact, you can live comfortably off government assistance in that country if you don’t work at all.

Get over it.

Make yourself seen

You’ve probably heard about this guy.

He even gives me the creeps. All of his four wives died under odd circumstances, but it took the fourth disappearance to raise any suspicions. He’s a cop, to top it all off.

Golly gee, I wonder why he was able to avoid any real scrutiny up to this point.

I find it a little odd that his wives are so much younger than he is, and they all spoke to friends and relatives about “fearing for their lives,” in more or less words, just before the are found dead.

Move along, nothing to see here.

Here’s the latest in stem cell research.

Hopefully this will be a step towards making everyone happy so we can get on with curing diseases.

Here’s what Wired had to say about it.

I didn’t see this one coming

I’m being sarcastic, of course.

Something tells me Google is really going to shake up the mobile communications market within the next five years. They’ll be snatching up one of the smaller wireless carriers soon. My money’s on T-mobile.

Only time will tell…
