Comment Hand Held Devices may go (Score 1) 350

How many units of Call of Duty: Black Ops sold at $60 a pop? Anyway I think games on mobile devices and phones will spell the death for hand held game devices like nintendo and psp. What was that episode of star trek next generation where everyone on the ship was addicted to a game except Wesley? Thats what games like angry birds reminds me of. But really why are the games on phones and mobile devices so popular? Because people are stupid enough to believe the techno hype surrounding these gadgets, brainwashed into thinking they NEED them, and at the end of the day dont do much with them and justify their impulse purchase by playing a mind numbing game. Can we have Wesley come and save us all? Or at least explain to me why I spent $40 on this funky ipad cover with magnets?

Comment Voluntary enslavement by technology (Score 1) 792

I wouldnt beat up Stallman too much. This dialog although seemingly paranoid is a point of view that must be raised and kept active if personal freedom is important. Someday we will be all required to have a mobile device and a facebook page. I always envisioned bar code tattoos on the neck but a mobile device is much better cause of the games. Fighting for our freedom and rights is not a periodic battle but one that has to be fought at all times. Devices and technology that make it easier to track, control, and enslave people should be avoided and be exposed for what they really are... UNNECESSARY.

Rant... If you participate in social networking sites and the worst time vampire twitter, you waive your rights to any privacy! This article or claim is ridiculous. You dont want people to know a particular aspect of your life, then why are you posting it on a website? Nobody cares what you're doing. Posting your activities or life online is a poor way of alleviating the feelings of anomie. Real social interaction, real social networking is the only way to do that.

And I am sure someone will mention the point of disinformation relating to this. Employers beware. I could make myself look really good online when in fact it may be all bullcrap.

Comment Lets end the Fedora stigma (Score 1) 242

Sorry Fedora is a solid distro and can be used for anything. I am tired of the continuation of some old worn out perception that its a bad unstable distro only for testing et al. That is the wrong message to send to new linux users. Whats important is youre using UNIX and not that other OS. If you prefer a particular linux distro over another thats great, even if it is Un00btu :)
