erdogan, turkey, egypt, fear and how to spot a 21st century despot?

I noticed some hebrew publications featured a story re turkey pm, erdogan, and his remark that turkey has some evidence that points towards israeli engineered coup in egypt. WOW! As the link to what erdogan allegedly said points out, the evidence is a jew. An intellectual jew. That person, the-intellectual-jew TIJ, was heared saying that […]

beyond google and evil?

Sometime is the 90’s microsoft seemed to be pissing – or taking the piss – on users, developers, laws, etc. by monopolising internet explorer via means like: disabling other browsers, not letting other browsers be “main” one, etc.. With that kind of background, the young googlers came up with a promise they had to break. […]

memories and excitement marks?

I think it is hard to argue that people, as individuals and societies, kind of fancy being remembered. In fact, I could also argue that every bit, if asked, would have an element that fancies being recalled. Every leaf that falls in autumn, fancies being a memory within the wind – because it is within […]

usaliberia?

Had a quick check of this documentary about the, err, ability of these guys to present stuff, this time Liberia, in a sensationalsied manner. Liberia, was formed by a sort of reversed coloniaisation by freed african linkable slaves. (..with a help from others who might have had a different view of colonianisation..) The documentary had […]

rhythms of hegel acceleratism?

Zizek writes that Hegel seemed to have wittingly noted: secrets of the Egyptians are secrets for the Egyptians themselves. Zizek writes about this from the view of big-otherness, which is an interesting composition, I think. However, it occurred to me that in fact the Hegelian idea lacks the same elements acceleration solutions do: they miss […]

connection exchange with smart phones/devices

Have noticed recently that devices like http://getpebble.com/ get more wide spread, or more main-streamly manufactured. Apple will have one, Samsung will as well, and that’s fairly main stream.. People think of these devices as watches. In fact, I think they are referred to as “smart watches”. However, I think, for me, the interesting bit is […]

monetary truth and the power of numerical lies?

Seems like the so called state of israel (otherwise known as Frankelinstine) has a problem, people just do not understand the jewish bit of events version. Hence, the state has an “explanation” unit (used to be ministry) known as “hasbara” – hebrew for explanation. However, the propagandas, errr, explanation efforts might come from people who […]

egypt and the beginning of our democratic endings?

The coup against the tyrannical/power-hungry/naive – take your pick – rule of un-elected + elected majority of religious heads in egypt has turned into a full blown bloodbath. The army shoots demonstrators, blames demonstrators, and casts fog as to what on earth is going on, and how come over 500 people get in the way […]

beyond queuing binaries?

At the supermarket queue someone behind me got pushed. She said: AAARRGGHHH! I don’t like it – why people are SO Rude??!! Then a bit of a vitriol came. I said that indeed in these kind of events, it is hard to find the right thing to say.. Then it occured that she lets people […]

a dark and darker response to #stackoverflow?

For people who get censored by #stackoverflow – http://arty.li/ZNQ – seemingly a propriety which could possibly lead to a #market?

religions against democracy religiously?

Based on http://arty.li/ZNf it seems yesterday was Tisha Be’av, a date jews believe to contain the getting rid of both their temples 600+ years apart. lol??!! Based on my door mat spam, this is the month of ramadan when muslims are bound to fast and believe it to be the month when the Quran was […]

hell made of pizzas?

Crowdwize site reddit users decided(??), to send pizzas for a child in a hospital. Nice? Now.. Where is the app that tells you how many pizzas are kind of enough? Is this the flipbit of emergent stuff? How do you get the signal its time to move on and emerge in some other way? ie […]

instagram shop declarations

According to http://kottke.org/13/07/kuwaits-booming-instagram-economy – kuwaits slap images on instagram that declare stuff for sale and seemingly, it works. As Fatima Al Qadiri observes in this interview, all people need to do is declare that they are selling. I find it interesting that, perhaps unintendedly, the declarative business practice is talked on a power-based imagry site […]

the gadgets or life? the living death of gadgets?

Free choice is a strange proposition: You can have App, And, Agg, or Azl gadget – which will you fancy choosing? The choice elements contain only positives, and neglect to suggest, not even in a wide-brash sort of way, that you can have None. This deletion from the choice sequence has a link to the […]

google and power abuse for cynical view of human laziness

People, like any organic and perhaps even non-organic network-switch-modes (NSM??), seek the optimum laziest way to be. You’d rather type YA than YACY, for the search engine webaddress to come up. Hence the heads in google and other profiteering organisations, figured hey, we can own one word and people’s minds at the same time. Why […]
