Do you trash stuff without checking?

An Australian man while moving out trash had threw out his wife's jwellery and gold bars. Those stuff are put in trash looking bags to foil any thieves if any. Why didn't the wife put those treasures in a bank? According to report the man tried to ask if it is possible to dig through the trash piles to locate them but it is not possible. I guess there will still be people not comfortable with their valuables inside the bank. Then again, why didn't the man inspect their bags before dumping them?

Do you believe when you are down on luck?

Ever felt you are down on luck? Sometimes it is felt like you are feeling negative and can't seem to think straight. I could even felt distracted easily. I came down on a escalator and almost step onto another escalator that goes back up. I even did not ask for the change when I went to buy drink. So do anyone feel this way before? There is currently no crisis in my life so I am fine.

Apple still got Steve Job for now.

Steve Job stepped down as CEO and appointed Tim Cook as his successor. Unlike Microsoft, Steve Job is still within Apple, as chairman which is also an employee. He will still be valuable for his years of experience and will be available for any consultations when needed. Even if Steve resigns, Apple will always be linked to him just as Microsoft to Bill Gates. With Jobs still in the company, products from Apple should still have the same waves as those past products under Jobs. Unlike Microsoft, when Bill Gates left the company, consumers have issues with their new OS, as well other products. Hopefully, Tim Cook could do a job well done, if not as good as Jobs.

Would a new multiverse be better instead of reboot?

If Marvel have the Ultimate universe, why can't DC get one similar? DC is well known for creating multiverses, so to have another is just "nothing". Is it because it is nothing which is why they are doing the major rebooting, recreating, restarting with a different path. There are fans on both sides, those who welcome it and those who objects it. Perhaps they want to start a new but to do it on established icons like Batman and Superman is just playing with double edged sword. Changing Superman's costume just seems to be part of something that fans object. The younger Superman will wear t-shirt and jeans. The older Superman will have armored like clothing. The red underpants is gone too. He is the only guy that could wear the red underpants outside that seems so right. I could forget about the wedding between Clark and Lois. Perhaps, if sales doesn't work, they will establish these reworks as a separate universe. But for now, certain titles seems to be meant to be a collector's item, that is only for the 1st issue. Let's see if DC's gamble will reap any profits.

Discovery of life on Mar?

New discovery on Mars now suggest that there was life on Mars. It also claim that early Mars does not have oxygen. If such theory is being accepted, it would mean that oxygen and water will not be the only life giving materials. While nothing can be proven yet, there will always be possibilities that alien life forms can lives on places where dangerous gases that will kill Earth life will instead be the needed element for the alien life forms. That would also be possible that even the different temperatures would not affect life formation. If life can form over anywhere, then scientist will have to find what is the element of the universe that create life, regardless of how different the conditions maybe. To discover that, it may not be possible in this lifetime, or even the next few lifetime.

Space travel will need miracles.

Men have always been looking into the skies. While NASA had grounded the shuttles forever and left the fates of going into orbit to untested companies, funds been cut from the government for political reasons, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is now trying to get some people to start planing for space travel to the nearest star. For current technologies, it is impossible, even to reach the next nearest planet, or even the moon. The last time someone went to the moon they are unable to stay long unless they have improved equipments for long stay. Imagine cycling from the borders of Canada to the border of Mexico, that would take months. Including the rider would have to take breaks and rest. Current spaceships all kind of using rocket boosters. It takes fuels and before halfway to it's destination it would need refuel. Also the crew will need to survive the conditions in long term space flight. Space travel will need miracles.

SETI continues to find aliens

Politics and science should not mix. All these topics should not even be mixing with other topics such as music and entertainment and sports. Somehow there will always be some politicians doing it, mixing them. The latest is the budget cut from research project SETI. SETI is the project for searching for alien life in the sky. Some people just think that they are not important enough. The US should look back at how did they ended up this way. The simple answer is that they over spent. Over spending on wars at other people's countries. They may be then, the richest country but to dump their money into war, plus the economy broke down during 2009 just shove them into their current status. Spend only if you have the amount. That is simple logic. Right now, donors who believes in the continuing search for aliens stepped in. Hopefully it will bear some fruits. A sign to show that something is out there and people can throw out the area 51 stories. The real story will be coming from the sky instead.

Pasting protectors need skills

Had purchased a new ipad2 from Supura. It came with a free screen protector. Just wonder how do people do the screen pasting on their own? Ever tried to paste but you see all the bubbles underneath? Every time you tried to remove the bubbles, more will appear. So how did those people who does screen pasting at the shop did it? I saw them just aim correct on the screen and release the protector on the screen and it lay down nicely. Guess even a simple pasting requires skills and practice. I will have to take mine to one of them for re-pasting....

National Day just doesn't seems memorable nowadays

National Day is over. I did not watch it as usual. It seems to have evolved to some kind of hippiness that I just can't accept it. Maybe I am stuck in the old days. But one thing for sure, how many National Days gota memorable song? Remember the 90s where those catchy songs still last? Now they have to get a local international singer, to sing it. People remembers because the radio mentions and plays it. Else who remembers? Even the national anthenm being altered, in term of the musical portion. I like the original, where from being a child I sang to it. The change just makes it hard for me to accept. Perhaps people will need the change to reflect the country growing. To me, somethings just need to be left alone. They should go back to composing those classic type of National Day songs instead making it pop song where no ones remembers or knows how to sing.

MTV was already dead years ago

Read about how yesterday was MTV's 30th birthday. On the music blog from Yahoo, it mentioned that MTV did not have any celebration on their website. User's comments were mostly about MTV not being what MTV used to be anymore. I would quite agree with them. MTV in the early days plays music videos. Regardless of any kind of music, if there is a video they plays it. Perhaps in today, no much people watch music videos on TV. Everyone goes to youtube. Then from the business perspective, MTV changed from playing music videos to the shows of today. The death of MTV already occurred years ago. I don't watch music videos of today since I don't even enjoy the music of today. I may have stuck at yesteryear's music but then again, those videos are also cooler.
