CNBC is a joke, evil one

Point of view for stock market by CNBC was ridiculous for some years now, there is nothing new there. Few days before Bear and Sterns felt totally they were promising fake securities over the company. Now everybody knows it was the beginning of the end of area for traditional western life.

I was reminded today by Jon Stewart how responsible and accurate they actually are.



Jon actually forgot one thing, how evil they are. Do you remember last year who was the major media for streaming summer games in Beijing? It was CNBC! And they got us really nasty.

Do you know what is silverlight? I just wonder how much Microsoft actually paid for "research" of such good marketing quote. It's just another Microsoft vendor lock-in, screw market, slave customers and sink competition (Adobe? Linux? everybody else?). Did I mention that it runs on many operating systems? Three already! in Windows XP is featured by free download,in Windows Vista it's probably included by default, I don't know it for sure, I never used that crap. Third one is the new let's make more revenue since everybody just hates Vista and we spend so much money on advertising and research and development also fancy called R&D. So catchy.

Guess what?
Summer games were streamed via silverlight! Oh man, that's a good one,
for morons the silverlight link was just at the top of cnbc.com for easy spotting, anyway if you clicked on the video the plugin just POPed-UP. Gosh! So easy.

Wait a minute, it doesn't really work. Obviously my problem is this crappy cheap alternative that nobody really use.

It's Linux.

So Jon, there is always more to it :)
Love your show!

Microsoft brainwash of Slovak Government

I'm trying to get my mind off work stuff, sometimes it does work out. I thought city as wild as Las Vegas make me forget, obviously enemy never sleeps.

Microsoft is doing a PR closed event about their Interoperability in Slovakia. Guess who is invited? Government representatives, probably some news papers people for cheap PR and brainwash. What is on their agenda?

Redmond beast Wilfried Groomen, responsible for global policy brainwash of governments, and some other nasty interoperability experts from Redmond and Europe. What they will be explaining to our government? Of course, how they cooperate with all the vendors on the market and how they drive interoperability with Linux. Microsoft driven Initiative for document interoperability. Microsoft and Novell cooperation in China. Alliance of interoperability founded by Microsoft and having "vendors" which turns out to be Microsoft Gold Partners (doesn't seem familiar? ISO? National standards committes stuffed with Microsoft puppets to pass propietary "open standard" OpenXML?).
Release of 44 thousand pages of "Interoperability" which most of the case was under
the rulling of EU competition rules and in the end it turned out to be technical specification of products which Microsoft did many years ago.

Are they thinking we are really so stupid?
No we aren't, but the irresponsible government and their stupidity will
just nod theirs heads off to get great deals from Microsoft which at the end turns out to be more expensive than buying the same software via regular IT company which just resells software and can make better deals for government than Microsoft itself.
