The Long Awaited Return / Rant On iPad 2 Release

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted on here but with the new gig, I have been extremely busy as on late. So an almost 6 month absence, but I’m over it! Onwards to the newest rant of mine!

Apple has just released the iPad 2 as of March 11, 2011. As with any other damned Apple release, the Apple faithful were standing out in ridiculous lines just to get their hands on Apple’s next offering. Apple stores, Best Buys, Verzion Wireless locations and other locales had lines that made on lookers, such as myself, wondering why people do this. Especially with Apple products! The original iPad came out less than a year ago and Apple has already shipped out a newer model. Apple doesn’t care if the device was one month old, they know that the Apple faithful will drop money on anything that Steve Jobs shows off.

Things like this make me wonder how the Apple faithful have any kind of money whatsoever!

That’s my two cents

Planned Down!

Been a couple of day since last post. This post is just a placeholder until about 10/25/10. Been packing items up to move to new place,plus I fly out to Boston for 2 months for business!

As the Governator would say, "I'll be back!"

IP4 Is Almost Done For

Article Link

It seems that the standard 4 octet of IP addresses (ie 192.168.1.1) is coming to an end. Soon, the new technology will be coming with IP6 addresses, which while have a larger range that can be addressed will cause a bigger headache.

Why the headache you ask? The headache will lie with big businesses that have to translate the IP6 addresses to work with IP4 and vice versa.

So while the IP4 addresses are almost gone, the age of IP6 is dawning upon us and it isn't going to be an easy transition!

Software Patents Are Ridiculous

After reading this article, I finally believe that the whole Software Patent system is the most absurd thing known to mankind.

Seriously, companies are being sued because of rollover ads?!? That is just mind boggling. Sure rollover ads are extremely annoying but it does grab the user's attention when the stumble upon the content. For a company to have a 'patent' for something so basic to write in HTML code is beyond me.

This is just proof that the software patent system is one of the most broken systems in the world. This ranks right up there with the RIAA charging $750 per 'stolen' song. Until the governments realize that this system needs to be removed, lawyers will be raking in cash and people who try to invent something new will be sued off the planet because it has been supposedly patented even though it has never been developed or used ever!

Apple Attempts To Fight Sexting

It seems that Apple now has the right to create a text messaging service that can monitor what a person is typing. This is honestly down right crazy. Early this week, Apple submitted an trademark application for "There's an app for that".

If this doesn't make Apple a huge troll I don't know what does!

Windows 7 Phone

I'm going to keep this short and simple:
Do you honestly think that Windows Phone 7 will survive again Android, Blackberry, and even Apple?

If it is like WinMo6, then no.

Your thoughts?
