Mr. Fixitt's Ramblings

Orale que chido! Esta tecnologia es buena para darle un vistazo a un lugar antes de ir y gastar nuestra preciosa gasolina (Los precios ahorita están bien locos)…. pero que mala onda. Con esta tecnología se hace más y más fácil de remplazar el factor humano con la tecnología. A lo mejor parezca un poco cínico, pero donde esta llegando este mundo?  Ya ni siquiera nos detenemos para tener una buena charla con la señorita de recepción. Nuestra vida depende demasiado en nuestros celulares, computadoras y varias otras formas de tecnología.  Para afirmar, no estoy diciendo que la tecnología es mala. Lo único que tenemos que recordar es que de ves en cuando  poner nuestros dispositivos tecnológicos en nuestros bolsillos y saludarnos unos a otros. Si soy un poco antiguon pero así me gustan las cosas.

Sorry to all my English Speakers.. just click the link or if you want to hear my rant use a translator.. hehe

A great tool for getting back into shape or to help set new fitness goals.

Checkout my activity. I need to get back into shape. Haha!

As I stated previously, the age of technology is upon us. Be on the lookout for those autonomous Google cars on the streets.  I am not saying that this technology is bad. It would probably relieve traffic and certain accidents. However, who do we blame when something goes wrong? As we have seen in the past, technology backfires a majority of the time.

I respect this man, not for his stand on gay marriage, but for his unwavering stand. As Romney stated, ”I have the same view on marriage that I had when I was governor. I believe marriage is a relationship between a man and a woman.”

It is time that we stand up for what we believe in. Controversy will be sure to follow. However, that should not impede our freedom of expression.

We pride ourselves in being the land of freedom, yet when we find someone with a different idea we shoot them down. Many of those attacked waiver in their belief systems and sell themselves out.  However, Romney has not.   For this I truly respect him. 

The need for human interaction is steadily decreasing.  Watch out humans, you will no longer be needed.

I have nothing more to say, except that, I support this move that Microsoft is making.

Google c’mon you’re already invading our privacy enough…. at least leave our unencrypted WiFI connections alone. Oh wait, who on earth has an unencrypted WIFI signal nowadays. If you do, encrypt it (put a password on it). -.-  

Fight for your privacy!!! 

For many years Apple has prided itself with the statement that it was not vulnerable to threats such as viruses, trojans, or malware. Many Apple advocates attempted to convert PC users to Apple with the statement “PCs get tons of viruses, but if you switch to Apple you will NEVER, EVER get a virus, trojan, etc.” Today, most consumers know this as a fallacy. Many consumer’s faith in Apple’s ‘inpenetrable’ security walls has waivered. 

The truth is that no computer is exempt from vulnerabilities. The thing that matters is how a company chooses to respond to those vulnerabilites.  Microsoft, though it has many vulnerabilite, sends security patches promptly to secure their users’ computers. However, Apple though it was aware of the Java vulnerability since Februrary, decided to release a security update 49 days afterwards.  That my friends seems a bit irresponsible.  Perhaps Apple will learn from Microsoft’s innitiative to respond to security vulnerability promptly. One can only hope….

Though a bit of an investment at $100-$200, this charger will simplify the process of charging phones in a speedy manner. The rechargable battery is claimed to cost $5. We’ll just have to wait until it comes out to see if this product reaches consumers’ expectations.

A jury has found that Google infringed Oracle’s Java copyrights in Android but could not decide unanimously if the the infringement was protected by “fair use.”
