The MB in the OWS

Though I despise Wall St greed mongers there is at least one element of the Occupy W S groups that’s even more offensive–the Muslim Brotherhood. Here.

The Chinese side of Apple Computer

“… funny thing about the current state of [the] … globalized network of supply chains in which we find ourselves–many of the stories that germinate in Cupertino/Silicon Valley usually find their denouement in Shenzhen [because of extremely cheap labor].” Here. Question. What will happen to product-development/designer corporations when there is no more cheap labor? Well, on one hand it won’t matter where products are assembled; on the second hand, only a selected few super filthy rich members of the Plutocracy will be able to afford them; on the third hand, actual assembly oriented production of such limited quantities will only last a few weeks; on the fourth hand, it will eventually become a losing proposition to make them; on the fifth hand, technical design will become nothing more than flower arrangement theory in community colleges.

Aside from a few Islamic states, what’s the most frightening place in the world?

Yeah, I’m afraid it’s the Grand Banana Republic, or at least it’s getting there. Here.

The Syrian/German boy who made good

fullmetalcynic — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 14:07:30 +0000

I know one thing, without Steve Jobs the tech world will be far less interesting, and to think that with all the CEOs in the country–the world–this one had to be the one to kick the dust before his time. Other than Jobs think how many corp heads there are and how many would be missed if they suddenly kicked. I can’t think of one. While Jobs’ death brought grief and an outpouring of condolences (especially in Asia) imagine how nonplussed you’d be if you heard instead that some Big Banker or Exxon top exec or even some other tech giant (with the possible exception of Gates) expired from an illness. You probably wouldn’t bother to even finish the first line of the obit. It’s going to be difficult opening the next edition of MacWorld. I may try to shake the doldrums by giving up my old reliable 5th gen iPod and getting a Touch. Maybe now I’ll even get an iPhone.

Rihanna bares breast in nature: but good news, blindness in the innocent was averted

fullmetalcynic — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 15:32:24 +0000

Lo and behold, almighty ones, Rihanna goes topless on farmer’s field while shooting video and causes rift in the fabric of existence. The stilted old farmer then came upon the scene of corruption on his land and disrupted filming and ordered the sexy singer off in the name of God. Nudity of course cannot be tolerated; it can cause blindness in innocent beholders (though God was merciful in this case; there were no incidents of reported blindness or sudden outbreaks of severe acne). Staring at bare breasts can also, so it is said, cause auto-ejaculation in crazy old cogs who have never experienced the fleshier aspects of the natural world (except maybe for a cow’s milky udder), or at least can’t remember. Here.

“They’re picking off people they can arrest for any little thing.” Here and Here.

Note: don’t let the NYPD’s antiaircraft missiles scare you in the above article; they’re meant for bringing down planes, not individual protesters (there, now don’t you feel more secure?).

Quoting the X-Files: The truth is out there..

“The sudden disappearance of the home’s Saudi residents before September 11 prompted calls to authorities, who found links to those who orchestrated the horrific attacks of that morning…” Here. Someday (say in the year 2277), someone scouring the depths of the Grand Banana Republic’s and the Saudi’s secret vaults, will uncover the real truth behind 9/11. Be patient until then.
