I’ve succumbed and bought the latest gadget. As it stands, I really can’t understand what everyone’s complaints about its shortcomings are. My expectations are no more than this, a large form factor iPod, making it easier to see, easier to use, and more convenient overall. It currently meets my needs and expectations, keepings the news available so that I can read it offline. The big test will be when I finally get an appropriate case to carry it and use it out in the big world. The flash problem does not bother me much…yet. This ist a case of only time will tell. Perhaps Apple will address this with with an update or the market will migrate to new technology which will function with Apple’s IOSx. I’ll keep updating as I test and try. Right now my favorite game is Bombardier, a space based missile attack game where you adjust velocity and angle of attack to account for gravity wells produced by planetary bodies and try to destroy the enemy base.

Cheers…

I’ve upgraded to WordPress 3.0. The update was simple and straight-forward. Please let me know if anyone spots any issues or problems.

This is an interesting little article asking why Obama isn’t more lively in reactions to the environmental atrocities being committed in the gulf. Just follow the link.

One rebuttal I have as to why the president is taking a more measured response is that, if you are trying to make the person who did wrong fix their problems, you need to work from the standpoint of negotiation not persecution. If that party feels that you are punishing as they are working, they can choose not to do the work since, from their standpoint, they’ll get punished either way. I’d argue that he’s trying to set up a partnership to fix the problem and AFTERWARDS will attend to why it happened and will work towards addressing the wrongs after the issue has been fixed, particularly something of this sensitivity and magnitude.

Probably more comments on this later.
