Want the best? Here I am!

, , , ...

I want the best, to be and to do. But usually my best is related com computer. There's no scape in my life, i better with a computer.
Sometimes even cellphone seems complicated, that maybe because of their crazy OS organization, no mouse and small screen. I've heard googles OS is really nice.

Now about privacy. No ip retention !
Ok, why would you need to record every user ip ? For nothing!
IP is like your ID card, when you enter a store to LOOK (not shop) some products, you don't need to show your ID.
When you enter some Club (night club, disco club whatever), you by most SHOW your ID to prove you're not under age, and thats ok! Thats the law. But no one record your id.
So why sites should?
When you go on a public health clinic, and get some free condoms (YES, in some countries we have !) no one record your ID.
When you enter a BUS/Subway, no one record your ID. When you buy newspaper with few coins, no one records your ID!
Then again why servers should?
The internet it self is free. When simple sites and hosts record ip, it makes possible to lawyers abuse and even censorship (as some fellow we know in Latin America...).
Many will say "if you have nothing to hide, why worry?"
Well, maybe in the future, i'll need to hide my thoughts, maybe some one don't agree with my ideas...

And last, but NOT THE MAIN REASON, file sharing. If one uploads copyrighted content, and has hes/her ip loggeg, thats danger!
Ok, so upload copyrighted material without authorization is illegal.
And you'll say "oh the company/creator will be loosing money it could gain on selling"
But we got to face, does the company make it EASIER to customer to access their product?
At least the company sell that product in that customer country???????
Does it sell online or real shop?
If its only online, does the website display IN THE CUSTOMER LANGUAGE?
And more, is the price worth? Or abusive? (like ms windows)

Because if one company doesn't sell their product on my country stores, do not have online-shop website on my language, what does exactly make them think i'll buy (and how) that product?
If they are not interested in selling here, or they think my country isn't a worth marketing, that maybe chine is better. Well, i guess they can't complain about crackz and keygen, pirated and warez version on their product running on my pc!
This is competition, they can't expect someone to just not use the product. "Ok, we don't sell on your country, but you can't use it either" WTF?
I'm not saying i'm for pirate products, but companies should have a closer view of other markets.
It's so easy to say "if you want the product go to the site and buy" What if the site is in some language you don't understand a word? They just lost you as a costumer...
Maybe for some people this doesn't make sense, because they might have all products in the world on their stores, and 99% of sites in english...
But we must think on the rest of the world.
