Have a look at one of the wierdest sales pitches<\/a> I’ve ever encountered. Stephen Hawking’s comment on the back hole theory<\/a> don’t sound so foreign now does it?<\/p>\n Will people actually wear this crap<\/a>?<\/p>\n Total geekdom aside, how do I expect my XDAII<\/a> to fit in there?<\/p>\n Apple users can now use normal USB webcams<\/a> for their iCHAT conferencing… which was previously reserved for the sexy, but expensive<\/strong> iSIGHT<\/a>s.<\/p>\n I wonder if Apple would jump right on the asses of the creators and start bitching – like what they’re doing with RealNetworks’ Harmony.<\/p>\n It never ceases to amaze me; how electronic data can be used to compromise system security. Talk about finding ways<\/em> to make internet life miserable.<\/p>\n The famous high-quality, low filesize PNG<\/a> image format seems to suffer the same fate<\/a>.<\/p>\n This long, but well thought article<\/a> talks about how increased income in fact,<\/em> makes people happier – it’s just a matter of perspective. I suggest anyone with the time and patience to read it. It’s very solid stuff.<\/p>\n My personal take on the matter is that if a person still isn’t happy after aquiring loads of money, isn’t really because money can’t buy him\/her happiness… but either because of two reasons:<\/p>\n 1) Insatiability.\n2) They don’t know what they want.<\/p>\n Even if the first is human nature, that<\/em> can still<\/strong> be remedied if we have an idea of what we want at any particular time. If you know what you want at a given time (no matter how temporary it is), and if you have the capital to acquire such, you’d have to be an idiot (or mentally ill) to not<\/em> be happier than before.<\/p>\n Having said that… who still says money can’t buy happiness? \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n I remember watching Fraggle Rock as a child! Now it’s back on DVD!<\/a><\/p>\n Remember that post<\/a> I had about my opinion on the Apple-Real controversy? Seems like someone in the news industry shared the same sentiments<\/a><\/p>\n A follow up post\/article<\/a> pointed out the danger of having an “authoritative” opinion about the matter, as cNET news is considered a professional news source.<\/p>\n The mentioned reply I believe was a fair assessment. The opinions of the editor of the article in question<\/a> were indeed sound, but posting in such context (a professional news source) may have been inappropriate.<\/p>\n I’ve already mentioned that it’s not advisable to buy RAM anytime soon.<\/p>\n You should keep your eyes peeled however for a possible drop in graphics card prices. It’s sad that nVidia has declining profits<\/a>. But the good news for us end users is that if prices do<\/em> drop, I guess nVidia will be first to take the plunge. Since the current nVidia flagship seems to beat its ATI counterpart, doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know what this spells.<\/p>\n An interesting read<\/a> about how the US is conducting a study on compensation schemes with startups. The funny thing is no matter how “low” the US salaries go, they’ll still be better off than us poor 3rd world countries – where sometimes, salaries can’t even compensate for basic stuff like transportation!<\/strong> Now isn’t that so sad – going to work so you can be in DEBT?<\/p>\n
