iTunes = PC Devil

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

Yes, i said it! Plus, dont for one minute think i dont know what i am saying. I am a developer of 8+ years and i’ve been deeply involved with the IT Industry so dont think me for a fool. I really dont like Apple products. Ofcourse they have good designers, but functionality and co, they SUCK! I remember a while ago, i installed iTunes and it completely turned my computer upside down, rearrange my music folders and files, putting each file in its own separate folder!!! WTF? Anyways, i vouched after that incident never to run iTunes on any of my PC. Recently a friend gave me her iPod Shuffle to upload music on for her. I thought i could just do a copy and paste like most mp3 players and thats it. I didnt know i had to install iTunes for Shuffle to know that there’s music on its own hard drive?

Anyways, i held off for a while and at last i did it. I installed iTunes, first my computer was 5x slower, things started messing up, not working, and recently today i noticed the fact that my CD/HD DVD drive was not showing up in ‘My Computer’! I did a little research and found out that it can be caused by iTunes. Duh? I had to do some registry changes, delete somethings to fix it. This is after i already uninstalled iTunes.

Here i am also calling HP and them mur*suckers are telling me my warranty has expired and they cant offer me phone support. WTF? Are you serious? What is this damn world tuning into? I thought warranty was for them to fix the issue themselves, and not Customer/Technical Support? such a**holes. Here i am vouching for HP PCs and now this?

Anyways, got my HD DVD drive back to function and i learnt my leason, no more Apple *hit for me!

Mexico’s Rich Embedding GPS-Assisted RFID Tags Under Their Skin

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

In the case of kidnappings, Mexico pretty much has a big case of that. I even heard  that there where at least 7 kidnappings per day at one point in time in Mexico.

Watched that movie by Danziel? Man On Fire? Well, its kinda true. So now to fight against all the kidnappings going on, Rich people in Mexico are now inserting GPS-RFID’s under their skins.

RFID

Read more about the story at Gizmodo. In short, it cost about $4000 for the implant procedure and then a $2200 annual fee.

The bad thing about this though is that the GPS is seprate. Its a capsule that you will have to carry around with you at all times. Wow, like your kidnapper is going to let you hold that along the way. lol.
