Mobile Shell 2.0

The wonderful minds over at SPB Software House put out a press release earlier this month saying that Mobile Shell 2.0 is coming out at the end of this month.

I'm really looking forward to this...

They had better hurry if they are going to meet their deadline. Only two days left...

Divisive Topics - Abortion and Gun Control

Can someone explain to me how some people can think that Abortion is a Constitutionally protected right, and that your right to own a gun clearly isn't?

Adobe and Apple

Why is it neccesary for software updates (Quicktime and Adobe Reader) to put shortcuts on your desktop and quick launch bars? When I installed the programs originally, I had to clean up after them, and every time they get updated I have to do the same.

While I'm at it, Adobe Reader is the biggest piece of bloat floating around in cyberspace. Why, when Microsoft Word 2007 opens about 25MB, does Adobe Reader take 54MB? It's not even a word processor, it's just a stupid reader. A bloated one at that.

I don't use Photoshop, but I hear that has become overly bloated, as well.

Adobe, what happened to you?

Politics

The only thing bad about politics is that politicians are involved.

Hillary is telling us that she wants to implement government health care. Have you seen government housing? Show me one thing the government is doing a good job on right now as a reference that we should trust them with our health care. Is it going to be like public education, where you can't pick your school unless you move? Is it going to be like public housing where it will be taken advantage of until it is run down and undesirable?

Obama is running ads in Texas telling me he wants to give me a $1000 tax break and simultaneously close the "corporate tax loopholes." Great, so he wants to buy my vote and tax my employer so they can pass the cost on to the consumer and/or cut positions to make up for the lost revenue. Maybe all the jobs will just go to non-socialist countries where the government won't saddle them with increasing taxes.

John McCain is openly anti-Constitution (See McCain-Feingold act).

Huckabee is anti-family (see his voting record on Education. He doesn't want you to be able to home school.)

I wish I could afford my own private island. Is Cuba for sale?
