I hope this intrigued some people, because it didn’t do that for me. Interesting stories, but who cares about privacy on facebook? I mean seriously, does the author not understand the consequences of telling “REAL AGE” on facebook? -R Forbes | The Unintended Consequences of Well-Intentioned Privacy Regulation No matter how well-intentioned, regulation often has unintended consequences.

I truly don’t understand about emergency rooms in hospital, -though I somehow managed to stay there quite frequently- but I understand the point his making. iPad has been great deal in the market in 2 reasons: it’s not so expansive, and it is damn expansive. Contradictions? Not really. Apple is making off some moneys from this device, and yet all the hardwares and softwares are not really market leader. It had been a market leader for couples of months before Android rose from nowhere. But the reason why iPad is getting so much boast is, actually because the other devices…

Now AT&T and T-Mobile will be merged, will Verizon acquire Sprint? -R Reuters | UPDATE 2-Judge allows Sprint suit against AT&T/T-Mobile deal Sprint had also argued that the combination of AT&T and T-Mobile would hurt the market for backhaul services, links between the core network and more remote locations. Huvelle said that Sprint’s theory was not sufficiently supported.

Analysts are now predicting Siri will be 3rd Apple big-hits. iPhone and iPad kicked analysts’ a**, and some of them actually lost their job after publishing “end of Apple empire” 2 times. Now they are having some smart moves, saying “iPhone 4S may sucks, but Siri doesn’t.” Truly Siri is interesting service. Most of companies still owns customer service w/ machines, and they barely understand words. Many developers and manufacturers came up with voice recognition UI, but failed to impress buyers. Now Apple came up with one, saying “this works.” And analysts are saying, “good stuff.” Really? An idea that…

For years, actually for centuries, many conservaties, whom are known as old-timers, claimed new culture and technology is ruining the language. Not only language they claim, but also body and mind of one. Such as graphic novels, video games, even facebook and twitter -these two have been added to list recently-. Unfortunately, many studies have done suggesting those kind of new experiences rather enhance and nourish overall quality of experience, and furthermore education of one. And here goes 2nd shot: does Twitter ruin English? Turns out “NO”. -R Forbes | No, Twitter Isn’t Ruining the English Language The result? The mean…

Piltch’s first reaction to the technology was telling. “I’m sad to admit that Steve Jobs was right. Adobe’s offering seems like it’s too little, too late.” Read rest of the…

Now I’ll give you two option, before start yelling at me, “You arrogant son of b****”, first you can say something like what I presented as an example, or second you can keep reading and say, “I pitty you.” I am not usual offline buyer, which means, I always keep myself not to be at offline; price and taxes are just bloody in offline anyway. There could be a lot of argument against and for for the actual shopping, rather than just buy what you want in the online. Since online doesn’t provide full support-questions you want to ask, etc.-,…

Let me be me, sarcastic and cynical as possible as I can in my place. Now I feel so much pathetic about RapidWeaver and iPhone 3G. Sorry RealMacSoftware and Apple. But I am enough of this. Since 2009, I have been using RapidWeaver and iPhone 3G as my primary application and geek. I was already aware of danger of using RapidWeaver, since I could find a lot of, A LOT OF claims that RapidWeaver randomly generates and reproduces codes inside the article so that it makes the article to load very, VERY SLOWLY. Which it took me about half an hour…
