I think it’s because Apple hasn’t made them yet. I read a very interesting article the other day about what paypal sees as the future of payment. A couple are walking down the street and see a animated movie poster. they touch the poster and a box comes up where they can order tickets. A man at a bar puts his drink down, the bar top shows a ring around his glass with a menu next to it to pay. Is this stuff to expensive? Why isn’t this stuff out there yet? or at least not in mass quantities.

I mentioned Apple before. Look what they did with the iPhone and iPod. They made a very expensive version but because they mass produced it they made enough money to keep going. They also made products so freaking cool they found people that would give their first born. now the iPhone is in it’s third generation and  you can get a 1st gen on the cheap. It’s like they say if you build it they will buy it. It’s more like if you make something people think they can’t live without they will find a way to get their hands on it. Maybe that only applies to Apple fanboys.

As much as I think Apple has gotten wrong with the iPhone (e.g. Exclusiveness to AT&T and the App Store approval process) at least they are still pushing the limits of what’s possible. Do other companies lack vision? take a look at Microsoft’s Vision. They are not blind. it looks even crazier then what paypal wants! For a long time I have had issues with Microsoft and I was all about Google and how cool all their products are. I see now what it means to be a fanboy. Now I see Google making mistakes or rather, things I don’t like. The user is always right. To which I would say, maybe I’m not the user they had in mind. Microsoft is coming back in a big way. I am learning now that no one company can do everything you love. You got to spread the love around.

I always though Microsoft used it’s power (read: Market Share) to force us to use the same crappy version of windows or other products like office and outlook (read: stupid damn ribbon, can’t find anything). Now I think Microsoft is still a kid but they are run by the corporations that buy their products. This is seen by the current IE6 issue. Microsoft wants it gone as much as the rest of us but they made promises to corporations saying they would support their products. The best part of Firefox is they can do what they want. Be careful because soon they could run into the same issues. Corporations who think it cost so much to upgrade. I thought everyone already knew it cost more not to upgrade. You are halting forward motion and I hate that. I want to live in the future.

24 hours from now is the future, lets act like it.

I am thinking of installing Linux on my laptop that I never use and get that version of Chrome.

Short and Sweet…

I recently watched a documentary by Ben Stein named “EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed”. It is very interesting to say the least. It is about Intelligent Design or ID. It starts out with Ben talking about how he has always had great respect for science and never realized there was such a big issue between religion and science. He soon finds out that the freedom of new ideas in science is being cutoff. He finds many people who have been fired for just mentioning ID. He also spends a lot of time on Darwinism and Evolution. The best part is when one guy suggests that the first cell grew “on the backs of crystals.” I think everyone should take a look so I won’t give anymore away but it really is moving.

I have been having a hard time lately with life. It seems so hopeless. The world is going down hill fast and it seems I am to small to stop this avalanche of moral decline. I go to work and people just don’t care. How do you get motivated when everyone around you isn’t? What can you feed off of?

Ben Stein really challeges everyone to stand up and be heard. Can he really do it all? Can I make a difference? I think the real answer is we all need to let God do what he does best through us, the impossible. This movie has revived a fighting Spirit in me and I hope I can snap out of this acoma I am in and follow this old path I once knew so well.

I will work on better explaining why movies are good to me but right now stop reading this blog and go see this movie…

…your still here? Good because that was a joke. Ok, now I am done.

NOTE: if your just seeing a white background on the whole screen(and no gray) then your monitors contracts might be a bit high.

We are born. We live. We die.

I know, it’s sad when we die. But as a great man once said, “death is but the next great adventure to the well ordered mind” but lets get back to the point.
