Un review unic


This is my second review on off-grid living with the Palm Pre. My first review was written 3 days after I received the Pre on rollout day June 6th. As of Saturday the 20th I have now had the Palm Pre for 2 weeks. As I said in my first review, I am nowhere near the typical Pre user. My needs are unique and therefore my smartphone has to be unique as well. I live on a completely off-grid 40 acre ranch in Central Texas. We raise Pure Longhorn cattle, a milking Holstein, sheep, rabbits, chickens, and yellow blackmouth curr dogs. We are not anti-technology, but we examine every technology very closely to see if it will actually benefit our simple lifestyle. We live our lives very deliberately, and we know that most supposed "time-saving" technologies have actually created a society of slaves to the machines, and we seriously examine whether a device or technology is actually offering us any benefits or if it just becomes another toy to be serviced by its human slaves.


Omul traieste in the middle of nowhere, creste vaci si nu are aproape nici un fel de tehnologie

Moartea calculatoarelor desktop

Desktop PCs have been in decline for a decade, and countless people have said their piece about it. But new evidence suggests the desktop tower's death spiral is underway—and we're not too broken up about it.
People aren't buying computers.

Except that's not quite what's happening. In the same period, laptop shipments—already higher than desktop shipments on the whole—grew 10% over last year. Desktops were entirely to blame, dropping by an astounding 23%. That's not decline—it's free fall.



Cam adevarat. Puterea laptopurilor, capabilitatea de a il inchide si sa ai toata munca cu tine si posibilitatea de a il extinde acasa cu un monitor suplimentar+tastatura+mouse+backup network storage face desktopul sa fie doar o varianta mai ieftina si cu inconveniente de utilizare.

'real limited' by mischer'traxler is about limited editions that reflect limitations in
reality: untouched nature, maintained traditions, old craftsmanship, languages and dialects.

in the first executed 'real limited'-project endangered species are translated into limited
editions of products. each single product, or element of a product represents one individual
being in nature. so far mischer'traxler have created a limited fungi shelf for droog design
and moths lamp based on this concept.

Cathedral Plaza continua datorita coruptiei


Lucrarile de constructie la Cathedral Plaza vor continua, dupa ce Curtea de Apel Ploiesti a admis recursurile declarate de primarul sectorului 1 Bucuresti si firma Millenium Building Development împotriva sentintei Tribunalului Dâmbovita de anulare a autorizatiei de constructie. "Printr-o decizie irevocabila, Curtea de Apel Ploiesti a admis recursurile, a modificat sentinta si a respins si capatul de cerere privitor la anularea autorizatiei", au declarat surse oficiale.


What the fuck? Curtea de apel Ploiesti? Chiar asa nesimtit li se permite sa calce in picioare orice lege?

Reamintesc ca fusese declarata nula autorizatia de constructie si chiar se obtinuse demolarea imobilului. Milenium Grup a contestat decizia si ca sa intoarca decizia despre o zona din Bucuresti au mers evident la Ploiesti... probabil era mai ieftin.
Milenium Grup sunt cei care au construit si cladirea de la Armeneasca aproape daramand biserica Armeneasca in timpul constructiei.
