1st August

1st August, its Swiss National holiday. Lots of speeches and parades and eating cheese and sausages. What more could you ask for? Fireworks and bonfires gallore. Of course this is usual, but in Geneva there's the added attraction of a lots of tourists from near and far. Some are friendly and some you wish downright that they go back to where ever they came from. Some genevans even wonder what all these events are all about. Are they for glocals or are they for people who are here for just one or two weeks. And if so, why do the locals have to foot the bill? Any thoughts

Twitter for good or bad

After the lack of transparence and violence in Iran, I was informed of Michael Jackson' death via a chirping sound on my twitter iphone application. What's next for twitter? I know that CNN is trying to capture this type of phenomenon with their IDESK and IREPORT where people send in instant news and some CNN editors add the commentary in accordance to what is believed to be the popular ethos. HOw about those two art students who won a Paris Match contest by faking a bogus photo report on the difficult life and housing crisis for french university student. They had their friends pose as students in difficulty, begging and working several jobs to be able to share a flat, buy food and go to university. They used all the headline grabbing terms to describe the situation. Just goes to show that what you see is not what is real? makes you think about how many reports from the so called establishement have been so embelished to meet their financial needs rather than to tell the story as it really is?

Mac Itablet as how one could wish it to be

http://ow.ly/eahX Another wish list that someone in Sweden built with a hack and a touch screen. Have a look at the video.

CNN vs Social networking tools

CNN has Facebook and Tweeter and real journalists but every now and then something goes wrong to the point that Bruce Scoble of Scobleizer tweeted about this failure in Iran. SO is this the beginning of the end for broadcast journalists? Is it the beginning of a new role for the millions with other means of communications to step up and be heard. Many and including myself have and continue to criticise Democratic State for their arrogant treatment of developing countries. However we continue to support the efforts of those whose voices are hardly ever heard of given our attention. Any thoughts?

Twitter

Anyone who is anyone is sure to be twittering these days.

Yes I too have twittered to people I don't even know much less care about.

The thing is, you start to crave attention once you receive that very 1st reply from someone out there. It starts to seep into your mind that this thing could have some value. So does twitter add something that we've been missing all these years?

WWDC so disappointing

So I was watching Cali Lewis on Ustream broadcasting on the Apple WWDC09. Happy to learn about the new software and the new OS and lots of new stuff. I was even happy to learn about the new Iphone3GS. All is great you might think, hey not REALLY- Why???

How about it looks like the old 3G
How about 3GS better than 3G
How about base price of 3GS is lower than 3G.
I guess Apple know how to milk that cow till its dry. What a rip off if Apple doesn't offer some kind of deal to loyal customers.
Is this going to happen. NO. Is Apple in for the money? YES.. So I'll wait and see.
