Lots of things has happened this month and though it just happened, it feels already faded.
The health reform, technically, it’s the health insurance reform has finally passed both house and has been signed into law by president Obama. Finally, there’s a non-private competitor in this industry and hopefully there will be some change as how these companies operates in the future. The whole thing won’t start to change people’s life until 2014, that is if we can get pass 2012. Just kidding, the earth might get messed up even more, but there’s no end to this planet yet. Relax, and if it happens, it’ll be a quick one, so why worry.
Google pulled out of mainland China and started to redirect their google.cn to google.com.hk. Personally, I don’t think it’s a wise decision because it’ll be harder for them to go back into China. I know that the Chinese laws is contradicting google’s business model which is give information access to everybody but less information is served by google’s decision. Regarding freedom of speech and human right issues, they are just there for the ride. If the business wasn’t hurting in this case, google probably won’t give a shit about it. And please don’t give me the don’t be evil argument, evil is a variable, it depends on how it is defined. If google is truly wanting to do the right thing, they’d stayed in, endure, and do damage from the inside. Tipping toe around the rules and regulations and play it smart. Now? Not only it is hard for them to go back, they are losing the raising mobile web browsing market as well because everybody knows the Chinese government owned telecommunication companies will replace google search engine with something else, doesn’t matter if it is baidu, or bing, or anything else. It’s one piece of pie that google will be missing consider just last year, more people are using mobile devices to surf the internet than traditional devices like desktop or laptop. Oh well, it’s their company.
Apple is readying it’s next big thing – The iPad. Blah, frak it and frak Apple. I hope it fail but probably not going to happen. So fanboys, enjoy your overpriced toy.
I’ve been watching Life on discovery channel. Like Planet Earth, this is yet another great installment. Earth is so beautiful and we should protect and preserve it so that our future generation can see what we see now. It amazes me that the food chain is so closely tight together that if one part is missing, it’ll ripple effect the rest of the biological system and just yesterday, I read that coral reef is disappearing and a lot of the bottom food chain life are depending on it. I am optimistic that even if coral reef is completely disappeared, life will find it’s way to become flourish again, but before that happens, there will be fury from the nature.
Finally, I can’t wait until this week ends because Clash of the Titan is coming out. It looks amazing and definitely a opener worthy movie.
