Time for a kill

The world is topsy-turvey these days and it often feels that our lives are out of our control governed by unknown forces beyond our reach. A "Joseph K" feeling if you will. Then you hear of the latest hullabaloo over bonus payments from A.I.G. to the very group within the company that basically destroyed it and cost shareholders about $200 billion. At times like this I really miss some feral, third-world justice. People in the streets, being violant, being human, angry and expressing it. They say it is illegal to NOT give them the bonuses now because it was in the contract. Oh, the stifling respect for law and even more so to order. We don't need no order. We have too much of it. We need good, old  street-style beatings to discourage the execs from claiming bonuses. The answer to 'your money or your life' is such a welcome certainty in these times.

Oh well, we will all just watch The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and feel superior and move on with our stolid, inert lives.

Only 2 apps can run simultaneously

Windows 7 started edition will allow only two apps to be running on your machine simultaneously. Wow! Microsoft as finally reached a level of insanity that was hitherto reserved for...well, Microsoft!

Yes, the worlds leading favorite company has done it again. While the rest of the world is moving toward running many apps -- maybe in the 10s at times -- Microsoft Windows 7 started edition will allow only 2 apps to be running simultaneously. I cannot even believe this that is why I guess I got to write it twice. Where are we headed? Hopefully to a world without Microsoft.
