According to Amazon.com, Steve Ballmer isnt a real human.

Obama to bail out mother nature.

I like google glass, but I dont like the camera. same with I like Chromecast but I dont like that I cant use just anything with it. I like Chrome, its pretty fast and nice but I hate that it may or may not be keeping tabs on what I do or where I go (allegedly). if I could take out the camera and modify it to give me other information from the phone or whatever, that would be swell.

"Who knows, we might even one day have 100Gbps wireless links to our ISP." And be throttled to less than dial-up like every wireless isp out there. Mine sure does.

Speed means jack squat if you are being throttled. My ISP is the fastest of my area. But they don't tell you about their Accepted Use Policy or whatever they call it now. Regardless if you are a 'heavy user' or not.

Every time I hear about this jet it's never good. Biased or not. I think it was only made for just squeezing taxpayer money so Lockheed(?) Could get revenue. like other military contractors.

For limiting my choices on (good or bad) products. I could rant endlessly about this but I'd be preaching to the choir. But wow, I don't like Apple at all now because of this.

"Linux Is 'a Work of Art.' But It's No Windows" The way people are talking about Windows 8 lately, there might be more interest in Linux.

I use linux on my laptop, And I have to use it where it gets pretty hot in the summer. I've tried many enviroments and I stick with the one that runs my laptop the coolest on idle. KDE is like Gnome 3, they run my laptop pretty hot. MATE (Gnome 2) and XFCE were the least demanding out of the more functional enviroments. I'm glad someone kept Gnome 2 alive with MATE and I'll keep using it since I used it the most these past 6-8 years. (using mint right now) KDE has been pretty nice when I had it on my desktop. 3.x ran pretty good on a really crappy AMD K6-II laptop and I I'd never get any work done playing with the sheer amount of customization you can do on the fly. 4.0 is pretty, but its not feaseable at least on this laptop.

One thing good about working in the government is that for anything you want to do, you dont have to foot the bill.

Ubuntu doesnt force you to use Unity, though people seem to think they do. On my laptop Mint runs hotter for whatever reason. Ubuntu with unity runs cooler but I got tired of it. As soon as I re-installed Ubuntu and updated I added the repo to MATE and been using that instead.

Ultor Corporation. or maybe UAC.
