How To Use Usb Grabber

Man is God ? Comments from the audience. Iphone

there I leave the question as I finish writing the post. I could not stand the urge to do it after seeing the faces of those attending a talk I gave on Saturday.


seems that I will not write anything more here. Instead I leave you with some of the shares during
the conference that attracted my attention:
  • "It's not that Web 2.0 is the manifestation of mankind's desire to end the monopoly of information?"
  • "I worry that Wikipedia's write from everyone, after all, who ensures that the story is an invention that we all had to accept? "
  • " My daughters can communicate better on Facebook than in person "
  • " The possibility to be someone else online, is arranged back to basics, knowing yourself! "
  • "Second Life is nothing new, role-playing games have existed for a long time."
  • "To me this is just a game, nothing so serious as to be someone else online, is just entering play and ya "
  • " not this a new form of discrimination? This discussion is only valid for the minority of the population in the world with Internet access "
  • " Queeeee we are not playing anything (I know I will and they also)

Really Swollen Cuticle

or how to Be inconsequential for U $ 0.99

After Apple’s today announcement of one Billion apps downloaded from iTunes store, I`m surprised by the top 40.

There is only one business related app in the top 40 (free and paid), remote for KeyNote. Most of them are games and other hard to qualify apps. The range goes from the disgusting ones as iFart (sorry, this is the real name) to the absolutely useless as Zippo (Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the iPhone is pretending to be a Zippo).

What is really an iPhone? I argued that it was more a toy than a business tool, but knowing what people is buying, I think it is satisfying the need the be unsubstantial and/or inconsequential

To support my point here are two useless apps. The full list could be endless.











1.- The enigmaClock : It uses a complicated algorithm to prevent you to know the time. I don’t know what to say. Somebody pays to have this!!












2.- Hold On: This one is to track how long you can keep a finger on a static position on the touchscreen. Is really usefull when you are doing NOTHING. What do you think about this review?
