Why "Pebble Of Many", I see the world as millions of pebbles, where each of us have different shapes, feel different to the touch, and yet we are similar in many ways. We all reshape as time passes, and we create this beautiful mosaic on earth of moving pebbles. Together we form a structure that not only is beautiful, but its beauty changes daily - and here is the story of how one pebble of many plays role.
Why wait and see if we can do then, what we know we can do now: a beautiful and remarkable set of stories about people into their 80's, and also about the simple economics of becoming dare devils at a late age... but why wait and see then what we know we can do now?
Unemployment raising: it just seems that everywhere you look the outlook of the economy is not getting better, despite all the positive talks of the economists - the so called "experts". The irony sits here - Asia, who were on the bottom of the economies are now among the few places where the job market keeps increasing, but unlike them, when their economies were not desirable and they could seek for new opportunities in foreigner countries (learning English was not too hard), for us to leave our countries and head to Asia seems to be a bit of a challenge: cultural shock, language barrier (did you take hindu or chinese when you went to school?), and career opportunities.
Making calls overseas using your mobile phone: if you happen to be travelling and you have a mobile phone, or in Apple's case, you happen to have either an iPhone or an iTouch (the latter not being a phone). You can save yourself a bundle of money on carriers charges, as well as phone card charges - just using your wi-fi you can make calls to anyone having Skype or Fring installed on their computers or handhelds - I could go on, but it is very well explained in this article.
Battle of ebook readers starts now: as I have read sometime ago in the NY Times, the ebook reader war has just started - it is interesting to see how each bookstore brand is hiring, manufacturing, and selling their own ebook reader version - well, that just makes it tougher for us, the consumer, to make a choice, does it? Personally I find that the iPhone/iTouch does an excellent job with iPhone Kindle or/and iPhone Stanza applications - both are great to read ebooks (Stanza has been recently purchased by Amazon and they have really great features). If you don't need another bulky device in your purse or pocket - and you want to have 1000s of books with you at all times, and you don't mind reading them on a smaller screen - then opt for the iTouch/iPhone, which ever suits you best. Happy readings.
Watching Mobile TV on your iPhone and anywhere: after the analog signals were removed from the market, we no longer could watch TV from anywhere until... this year - so it seems that we are going to retransmit digitally the signal (for free?) and we need to purchase receivers to be able to use them - you can even watch on the iPhone - so TV is not dead yet (remember that song - Video killed the radio star - seems that video is here to stay for now...)
Swine flu vaccination for all: this I don't know what to think about - shouldn't we not stay in the clear? If swine flu is as lethal as they claim, are we not prompting the virus to spring a new mutation that will be immune and vaccine resistant? If we are all vaccinated, doesn't that mean that a new strain will pop up sooner than desired?
