If we tell you to Buzz …

… you will Buzz!

I don’t understand the US

It seems to be a great country, a nice society, but sometimes it gets too nutty and idiotic. I don’t think a person who has more than 1 billion dollars in the bank, makes any sacrifice by doing what this idiot did. And while I’m at it, golf is not a sport.

Please stop …

… using ‘gate’ for every crisis, problem, scandal. ‘Throttlegate‘ for the Toyota recall? Really, are you sure? Sometimes I wish that the Watergate hotel was called Watercrap or something similar. But that’s only a wish.

Google Wave and Buzz

is a bust. So much hype, for nothing, useless piece of software (or website). Then came Buzz and the amount of crap increase ten-fold. And then the privacy problems came, something they apologized for, but will forget next time they release some new forever-beta product. Sometimes, I wish I was able to remove Google from my life, but then what I would use: Bing, Hotmail?

Palin

Sarah Palin is the closest you can get to a populist Latin American president, such as Lula, the Kirchners, Chavez, etc. If you live in US, raise your hands to heaven and thank whoever that you don’t live in Latin American. You can get the taste.

It’s really strange or why the iPad?

It’s really strange to read so many negative stories about the iPad, why it will fail, why it sucks, etc, etc. So many bytes wasted (including these here) to cover something that nobody used yet, no one has ever seen, nor was actually released. So many bytes wasted on stories about something that, if you don’t like and think Apple and Steve Jobs are trying to control their users/customers, you have full control of: like it, buy it, don’t, don’t buy it.

So many stories about how closed source computer, software is being forced upon fearful customers. While we worry about that, in the US, companies, corporations are now persons.

iPad is excellent!!!

Just sayin’. With all the negative reviews, ponderations, blog posts, newspaper reports, I just wanted to give so kudos to Steve and the Apple family. Is it the best product ever? No. Is it the next coming of Jesus Christ? No. So what is it? It’s just another product, and you, only you (maybe with your wife/husband/partner/household) will decide if it fits your budget, if it is useful for you and if you actually need to buy it. Apart from that, rants are always good for the people that writes them (I know it firsthand).

The icing on the cake is when I overheard two homeless guys discussing if you could multitask on an iPad. When they discovered you couldn’t, they decided not to buy it. Last time I saw them they were in the public library computers.

Never understood

I never understood why people with good functioning limbs (all four of them) press the button that automatically opens doors in public buildings. I guess they are the ones that have a disabled parking permit and drive a pickup truck.

Brazilian president is receiving a prize for global leadership in Davos. If you are not Brazilian, leave a comment if you know what his/her name is. Don’t google it or check Wikipedia.
