The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round - it has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a very long time and they begin to question; is this real or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered and they come back to us saying "Hey don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride."

And we... kill those people.

"We have a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up. Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account and my family. This just has to be real."

Just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter because it's just a ride and we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice right now between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one.

Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defences each year and instead spend it on feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space together, both inner and outer, forever in peace.

Baby Glutton

Friday, 4. December 2009, 12:43:17

Meet Bebe Gloton, the new must have child's baby doll in Spain. Now, I've always thought the idea of children having dolls of babies was creepy (it gives them a romanticised version of raising a child which can push girls towards motherhood far earlier than they're ready for it) but this doll takes it to another level. The translation of the name means Baby Glutton in English and it's a pretty good name. Baby Designed By A Paedophile would be a better one. We've all seen dolls that can cry, and wet themselves as well as the more recent dolls that fill their nappies. Well the designer of Baby Glutton has taken it one step further by making a doll designed to breastfed. Yeah, that's the exact same face I pulled when I first heard about it. I'll get back to this post when you're a little less disgusted.

How old would you say that child on the box is? Six, maybe seven years old? However old she is the designers of this toy believe it's about time she started breastfeeding her baby. They've come up with a bra-like item of clothing that she can wear that has two plastic, flower-shaped pieces on it around the nipple area. When the baby is pressed against those "nipples" it reacts by making suckling sounds for a while. Then it cries until it is burped. That's right folks, someone who works in a toy company and has access to groups of children for testing new toy ideas has come up with an item of clothing for young girls under ten years old that simulates the primary function of breasts. Why? Because "You shouldn't have to wait until you have breasts before you start breastfeeding your baby." according to the box. Really? I always thought that was kind of the point.

Now, maybe I'm over-reacting here. Obviously I'm not a girl and have never played with dolls, so maybe I'm just not getting it. To me this seems really bad, yet another unrealistic push towards early teen pregnancy and another way for sick people to sexualise our children. Am I wrong? What do the girls out there who've played with dolls think about this? Would you have played with it as a child?

Rumours Of Symbian's Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated

Wednesday, 2. December 2009, 17:09:58

,

A week or so ago I had a comment here about Symbian phones and how Nokia was killing off Symbian. I'd heard the story before but hadn't written it up myself. The reason is that the story is bullshit. A single Nokia employee mentioned the N-series of phones would be dominated by Maemo handsets soon. The idea behind that is to rebrand the N-series while keeping Symbian powered handsets in other series. Of course, there's no real headline there, so the big news sites twisted those words (that have yet to be verified by Nokia themselves) into a story about Nokia killing off Symbian entirely.

I don't blame my commenter for believing it. After all, you expect the news you read to be true. As you can see at this link I explained this to my commenter and laughed at the news sites spreading these kinds of things just for dramatic headlines and advertising space. How embarrassed would I have been if Nokia were to release a statement that they were killing off Symbian after all? The following is from today's press release from Nokia.

Today, at its annual Capital Markets Day event, Nokia set key targets and forecasts for the company and its industry for 2010. Senior company executives outlined how Nokia's focus on execution combined with its core competitive advantages, position the company to achieve and sustain broad-based success in the mobile devices market. At the event, Nokia also demonstrated significant improvements to its forthcoming version of the Symbian user interface.

Nokia CEO, Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, highlighted Nokia's focus on user experience, stating: "In 2010, we will drive user experience improvements, and the progress we make will take the Symbian user interface to a new level. As an operating system, Symbian has reach and flexibility like no other platform, and we have measures in place to push smartphones down to new price points globally, while growing margins. I see great opportunity for Nokia to capture new growth in our industry, by creating what we expect to be the world's biggest platform for services on the mobile."

Nokia CFO, Timo Ihamuotila, described Nokia's view of the industry and competitive environment: "Going into 2010, the overall mobile devices market is stabilizing and it is growing more in the areas where Nokia has competitive advantages. We believe that by executing on the operational priorities we have set, Nokia will be competitive in both mobile phones and smartphones and will improve its value share."

Nokia also outlined key Devices & Services operational priorities for 2010. These are:

  • Improve our user experience;
  • Re-engineer our Symbian user interface; deliver a major product milestone before mid-year 2010, and another major product milestone before the end of 2010;
  • Deliver our first Maemo 6-powered mobile computer, with an iconic user experience, in the second half of 2010;
  • Significantly increase the proportion of touch and/or QWERTY devices in our smartphone portfolio;
  • Scale up our Services business by expanding geographically and in partnership with more operators;
  • Provide third party developers with better tools to create applications and content for our Ovi ecosystem;
  • Further optimize the industry's lowest cost end-to-end business model in Mobile Phones; and
  • Continue to build on our affordable and localized services offerings for emerging market consumers.
In case you missed all that, here's a quick summary. Nokia will be releasing a new build of Maemo on a device next year and will be concentrating on building on it's Symbian operating system, with a view to improving the user interface. So yeah, basically what I've been saying for a while now. You see, the difference between the big news sites and me is that I can wait and report the well researched truth while they have to scrabble around blindly playing guessing games in order to get the story out first. The other difference? If I had jumped on the bandwagon and gotten it wrong like so many others, I'd actually admit it while the news sites just pretend they never reported it at all.

The Decent Thing

Saturday, 28. November 2009, 10:20:01

Marek Szymanski is a 30 year old man who was sentenced to three years imprisonment for a rape he committed in Wroclaw, Poland. His attack on 53 year old Zdislowa Morzycka was so savage that she was left partially paralysed and in a wheelchair. In my opinion, three years is a ridiculously short sentence for any rape, never mind one so vicious that it leaves the victim in such a condition. Unfortunately the first set of judges didn't agree with me.

Yeah, that's right, I said the first set of judges. There were two sets you see. Unfortunately the second set believed that the first set were too harsh in their sentencing. These judges released this horrific sexual predator after only ten months in prison, because he'd done "the decent thing" by pleading guilty and calling an ambulance for his victim after he'd raped her and left her stuck in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. The judges said that Szymanski had acted with "great kindness" towards his victim after the rape, a sentiment that the victim obviously doesn't share. "What sort of justice is this? I will have to live with this until I die." Morzycka said when she heard the news.

So there you go guys. It's okay to rape a woman after beating her into submission so badly that she's paralysed, as long as you call an ambulance afterwards. Obviously you wouldn't do it beforehand because they might arrive before you've finished. What the mother-fuck is going on in the world that this counts as justice? Combined with the horrific things going on in Uganda recently it seems to me that humanity has reversed the meaning of justice. Fucking disgusting!

Anti Human Rights Bill

Friday, 27. November 2009, 13:07:42

Two young guys walk down the street, hand in hand. They sit on a bench in the shade by the river, gazing into each other's eyes. In this chaotic world these two people have found love, and that love is going to cost them their lives.

Under this bill, while homosexual sex between consenting adults isn't mentioned, anyone committing a repeat offence is eligible for the death sentence. As Uganda has already criminalised gay and lesbian sex, as well as blocked any homosexual marriage, that means repeat offenders also counts those who have consensual sex.

Interestingly, the bill also says that anyone who promotes gay and lesbian rights is committing an offence, making this post illegal in their country and punishable by seven years in prison. By putting up such stringent measures they hope to stop anyone speaking out against their insanity.

Under a new law proposed in Uganda, anyone caught having homosexual sex can be arrested and faces a death sentence. Other clauses in the law state that anyone caught even touching another person of the same sex with the intention of having homosexual sex faces life imprisonment. Furthermore, anyone witnessing one of these offences (in other words, everyone who saw the two guys holding hands) and doesn't report it to the authorities within twenty-four hours faces up to three years in jail as well as a fine. David Bahati, the MP who introduced the bill, said "Homosexuality is not a right. It is a foreign behaviour imported and promoted by people using the poverty of our country to expound bad behaviour." Obviously this sick bastard counts murdering people simply for falling in love as good behaviour, which makes me wonder what he's still doing on the street instead of facing life imprisonment himself.

The bill has been universally reviled around the world by all sane people, with only a few fundamentalist Christians (a couple of American groups of these insane horses actually helped to author the bill) and other ignorant bigots offering support. The Coalition on Human Rights and Constitutional Law expressed it's outright disgust at the bill, saying "This is an attempt by those in government to whip up sentiments of fear and hatred by lumping together predatory acts that violate the rights of vulnerable sections of our society with sexual acts between consenting adults." That's right folks, David "I Like To Kill People Because It's Fun" Bahati introduced this bill saying it will help fight the spread of HIV (because an entire 14 percent of HIV in the country is spread by homosexuals, and they imagine the rest falls out of the sky) and stop child molesters (because obviously they're the same thing if you're a tiny minded politician who gets hard at the thought of slaughtering people). A spokesman for the CHRCL expressed it best by saying "A better title for this bill would be the anti-human rights bill."

So, how does the Ugandan government see the uproar caused by the introduction of this bill? They're delighted. They believe that it's a sign that they're not only offering strong leadership on issues that the world is afraid to deal with, but that the world will learn from them. James Nsaba Buturo, the ethics and integrity minister for Uganda, said "It is with joy that we see that everyone is interested in what Uganda is doing, and it is an opportunity for Uganda to provide leadership where it matters most." James, if you really care about leadership you will kill all the supporters of this bill and then kill yourself, you sick bigoted son of a whore!

Ugly

Thursday, 26. November 2009, 13:24:58

If you've been following this page for a while you'll know I'm a fan of mobile technology and you may be wondering why I haven't posted anything about phones for a little while. Well, the fact is we're in the year of ugly phones. Yes yes, I know I always preach functionality over looks, but there's a limit. The images that follow are all phones about to be released, and they're not for the faint of heart.

You were warned.
