I would not have trusted technology this much

Maybe if I was a pilot and have known the about the sophistication, consistency and reliability of the systems available.



I am still disappointed with today's PCs in terms of their reliabiltity and dependability. The PC I am writing this blog from has a fresh install of XP SP2 and fully patched. Still IE7 crashed on me couple of times today :-(

Why I think Lauren Turner should have been fired?

First off she wrote a post critisizing the sicko movie by Micheal Moore (which by the way is a must see). She used the corporate blog to write her personal opinion despite the obvious conflict of interest. She then did a follow up blog to do damage control. I still think her response is not genuine but instead standard corporate speak. What up with her usage of "some readers"? The whole blogsphere was disappointed and some furious about the blog post and she claims that only some misread here quote?

"...Not so good is that some readers thought the opinion I expressed about the movie Sicko was actually Google's opinion. It's easy to understand why it might have seemed that way, because after all, this is a corporate blog. So that was my mistake -- I understand why it caused some confusion."

It is despicable for her to even claim that advertising is a democratic medium and so was o.k for the Healthcare industry to put ads for the search keywords. BULLSHIT. In fact it is dictatorship and one sided since there aren't many people/non-profits who can afford to compete with the Healthcare industry. The whole primise of the blog was about how the industry can buy ads and use Google's dominance to suppress dissent with the current healthcare system.

I still think she should be fired...

I too was succumbed to the lust...

I am talking about the iPhone before you jump to any conclusions. I was sitting in my home office on Thursday night and started thinking about whether I should go on Friday and get an iPhone for my wife as a Gift. I went into AT&T's website and read/researched about the phone/plans etc and end up deciding not to buy one. Reasons are quite simple. Though I am on the market for a SmartPhone, the price of the phone and the Plan is simply outrageous. My common sense won me over my lust finally. If I buy one, I would wait for a price drop or the second generation.
