Tech Rant

I like Apple inc. because they make computers, which are easy to use. In addition, I find their computers to be very stable. They do not give me a headache like windows PC’s which crash all the time and cause me frustration. I can now actually do work on my computer than spend most of my time fixing my computer. Apple builds their machines with Rolls Royce quality, whereas other PC manufacturers build their computers with Kia quality. Apple computers are like hot chicks that are submissive and do not give me any attitude, PC’s are like average chicks that are bitchy and give me nightmares. I can go on and on about how I like apple computers over pc’s. The comparison will never end. I do not have to keep restarting my computer every time I install a program. I do not have to keep downloading virus update packages. I do not have to keep cleaning up my temporary files or defragging my computers, my computer takes care of it.

I think I appreciate apple computers more since I came from the PC world. I have seen the bad and ugly side. Now using Macs is like driving a Lexus or Mercedes after driving a pinto for many years. Once you go Mac, you never go back. If God wanted to use a computer he would chose a Mac any day. I wish apple made everything. I hope they make toothbrushes, combs, microwaves, refrigerators, everything that I use. I think the world will be happier and better place if apple took over all manufacturing. There would be fewer machines breaking down, everyone will actually be using their appliances rather than fixing them and everything would be so easy to use, there would be no need for complicated manuals explaining stuff.

Apple should make all hardware and Google should make software. Actually, Apple should make hardware and software, and Google should mainly make software. If Google made software for car dashboards, I can do a Google search right from the steering while waiting at the traffic light. Those will be the days. I can just imagine Google and Apple working together to make the world a better place.

Healthy Spaghetti

I was so hungry today when I left my training class. I was sitting in that class trying not to sleep. I kept dinking hot decaf coffee in the hopes that it would keep me awake. Finally, the class was over and I ran up to my cubicle took a quick nap and then heated my food. I had healthy brown whole grain spaghetti for lunch. The spaghetti as I mentioned is brown since it is made of whole grains. It definitely looks healthy. In addition, when I eat it I feel full from all the fiber and protein in it. I heated up the spaghetti along with the red lamb curry that my mom made. I also heated a potato and beans curry to have some vegetables in my meal.

I heated my food. The spaghetti was steaming, asking for the red steamy hot lamb curry to be poured on it. That is what I did. The spaghetti started soaking up all the curry like sponge. I mixed the spaghetti and lamb pieces around, and then took a bite of this well mixed food. It tasted good and healthy. I love this fusion dish, mixing Indian curry with Italian spaghetti. I get the best of both worlds. I did this so that I can avoid eating rice and eat healthier spaghetti instead. I finally figured how to minimize my rice consumption with this spaghetti substitute; I hope I do not get tired of it too quickly. Then I added the potato and beans to get my vegetable in, the combination seemed to work fine. The potatoes blended well with the lamb curry flavor. As I relished my healthy meal, I thought the only thing missing to add to the experience was a coke. I could imagine the sweet taste of carbonated coke in mouth as I had my meal. However, I decided to save the coke for later and have it while writing my blog. I like to treat myself to sweet treats while completing tasks.

After eating my lamb spaghetti, I ate pineapple that my mom packed. The fruit helps offset the curry flavor and gives me a fresher fruit breath. I generally like to finish my meals with a sweet and fruit is a great choice, since I feel it acts like a breath freshener to a certain extent.

Technology Rant – Why?Why?

I like technology. Why? I think it has done so much for the human race. Why? It has equipped us with tools to cure so many diseases and bring innovative products to your lives. It has personally given me so many toys to play with. Products like the Iphone and Mac have made me always look forward to something. Every time apple releases a new product, I am so happy, I like to see the new features of their computers and how easy they now make my task of using a computer.

I am so glad I switched to Macs. Doing things on a Mac is so enjoyable to me. Unlike a PC, which is frustrating to use most of the time. Ideally a computer should be a device that you use to obtain or manipulate information in the least amount of time. But with windows pc’s I have to spend half the time maintaining my computer. Macs are computers designed by Apple. They fit my criteria of being devices that are easy and fun to use.

I would consider personal computers as one of the coolest inventions in the last thirty years. A computer is basically a device that has some storage, a brain, an input device and an output device. This is what the modern computer is when broken down to the core categories. It may look simple but computers can help us tackle the most complex tasks.

I love my computer. When I need some information, I turn it on, type what I am looking for and hit search and bam I am connected to an abundance of information that fulfills every quest for knowledge my brain desires. Ok, then say I am bored; I just go download a game, and then play the game. Downloading would be the process of getting content from a remote location to my computer. If I want to watch a video, I download that. I find computers to be the most versatile machines ever. They satisfy almost every need for information, media or entertainment that I have. If I was given 150,000$ a year job and kick ass computer with a fast Internet connection, I would be ready to live in Alaska for a year.

Technology Rant-Why?

I find Apple to be one of the coolest companies around other than Google. Why? The products they make are spectacular and so easy to use. Anyone without a computer background can pick and use a Mac and learn things so quickly. Why? Ease of use makes one want to use a product. If a product is too difficult to use, people will be shunned away. I think apple would not be what it is today without Steve Jobs. Why? Steve Jobs is like a celebrity in the computer world. He would be the Brad Pitt or Collin Ferrell of the tech industry. This man has revolutionized the way people obtain, interact and use media – music, videos etc. Why? The introduction of the iPod was something so revolutionary. Everyone on the planet wanted to get one of these. His role in the development of these products helped engineers and designers push themselves to the limit. Why? That is what Steve does, he pushes people to bring out the excellence in them. Again he awed the world with the introduction of the Iphone. Why? This little gadget is all over the news, and all the over the place. It may not be the perfect gadget but it is far superior to most of the competition. It makes using a phone device for information so easy. People can now pull up maps, directions, and enjoy music, videos, all on a device that conveniently fits into ones pocket. I find this just amazing. Why? Because it has even made me cut down on the number of devices I need to carry. I don’t need to carry a separate mp3 player, a separate notebook, a separate gps, nope. Just one little device. I find this so convenient.

When Steve Jobs released the Iphone in January of 2007, I watched the release of this device with great excitement. Why? Watching him deliver the presentation as I worked in a crappy help desk job at school made me look forward to getting a real job and buying an Iphone someday. I was so happy. I was thinking of all the creative ways I could use this phone. The news of phone immediately sent Blackberry and Palm stocks down. I was amazed by the powerful effect the news of this phone had on other company stocks. I wish I had the money then to buy some apple stock, I would definitely be a richer man today.
Steve said in his presentation that he waited three years to release this device. The secrecy with which apple deals with its products are just mind blowing.s No one could predict when the company was going to exactly release their products. I find it fascinating that there are entire websites dedicated to tracking apple’s next product release. These sites jump on any trade secrets and rumors they find on apple. I find this similar to paparazzi following celebrities.

Now thinking of it Steve Jobs would be more like rock star in the technology industry. I love technology and to see a tech company and tech CEO receive so much fanfare perhaps more than a movie star makes me happy.

Technology Rant

I find Apple to be one of the coolest companies around other than Google. The only thing I don’t like with both these companies is their promotion of gay marriage. Other than I am cool with these two outstanding companies. Talking about apple, I think apple would not be what it is today without a great man called Steve Jobs. I find this dude just amazing. I find him inspiring and intriguing. I wonder how he induces his desire for excellence in his company and its product line. I so wish I could meet him in person someday. Or at least stand within hundred feet from him and observe him. If I can talk to him I would like tell him some of my ideas. He might laugh at them but I would tell him anyway. But if he puts me down too much, I might start my one line of pc’s and make them pretty but cheaper than apple.

Or I will go join dell and revamp their product line. I used to have all these beautiful ideas for making better notebooks, which never saw the light of day. The only notebooks I found to have most of the features that I was looking for were made by apple.
Thinking about this gave me another idea. If I got a chance to be a notebook designer on one of the pc companies, I would work with the team to cram in all the features one could think of, including copying some of apple’s work and make the laptop thin and light, load google chrome os on it and sell it at a price lower than apple. I mean if you really think about it, Apple is just getting components from Intel, Nvidia and other companies and packing them into a really neat notebook and adding fine nuances such as a multi-touch track pad. I need to copy all their ideas, and improve on them. For example instead of making the notebook from aluminum I would make the laptop from carbon fiber. Making the laptop a lot lighter but strong. I would also incorporate a better keyboard from IBM, which will give a better feel while typing. In addition I will add finger print biometrics, faster solid state drives and other features lacking in Apple’s current lineup but do it in a minimalistic fashion pioneered by Apple. One would not even notice the finger print reader; it would just be an area on the notebook where you can slide your finger. Or better yet I will integrate it into the gigantic track pad. Fuck, I will even build a micro projector into the notebooks just to fuck with apple and make my notebook lineup outshine apple’s lineup.

Building a pretty notebook, without annoying Intel inside or Vista stickers and loading a free os like google chrome and undercutting Apple higher prices, I see a market waiting to explode. The prices of the laptops will be higher than all the crappy windows pc’s out there but will still be lower than apple’s notebooks. Also I won’t charge super high prices for ram and additional upgrades hence still enabling hobbyists to configure their computers, as they like. Yes, these laptops will be google os based and will kick all the other computers' asses with their speed, beauty and function.

Salsa Dancing

I went to this free salsa dance practice at my work during lunch. It consists of some older women who want to salsa dance. I decided to check it out since I have non-existence dancing skills. I went there with a coworker of mine, since I was too shy to go by myself. He dropped me off there and then left, like a parent dropping a kid off at a playschool! It was refreshing to see a couple of younger girls. I knew they were not going to come back. Anyway, the instructor went over some basics, which I had tough time with due to my inability to synchronize by body. After a little while, I was slowly getting a hang of the basic steps.

After sometime, the woman teaching us told all the men to stand in the middle and the women to surround us. It was a unique experience, since there were lot more women then men. I liked being one of the guys in the middle who had to dance with the different women, since it was so rare. The teacher then told the guys to dance with each women for a couple of songs till all the women got a chance to dance with the guys.

This was when things got interesting. I started dancing with a semi-hot chick. It was a nice experience since I probably have never danced holding a chick so close. Moving and leading her was an exciting experience. In addition, I got to my practice my dance steps. The great thing about it was they were learning too so I did not have to feel too self-conscious about my dancing.

After I finished dancing with the semi-hot chick, I moved over to the hot chick, she was a cute Persian girl. Her subtle smile was mesmerizing. Ah, and when I held her soft slender body it just felt so perfect. It made me realize that chicks in shape are so worth the effort over just getting slightly chubby chick and just bearing it.

Now the bad part, after dancing with hot I wanted to go the other direction, but a fat lady was like no come over here! Oh man I had to dance with her, ugh, she was looking at me while I was dancing and smiling, she totally messed up my experience that I had with the hot chick. It was a transfer from the hottie to the fatty.

After the class, one of the instructors spent some extra time teaching me one on one. It was very pleasing to get free salsa lessons.

After this, I went a couple more times but the hot chicks were not around. I might go again on Thursday so I that I can pick up salsa and dance with women outside, if I ever have an opportunity to.

I like ice cream..

I like chocolate ice cream with nuts in them. The chocolaty taste is blissful when combined with the flavor that the nuts release. I feel the need for a crunchy flavor along with the ice cream. Just eating ice cream does not cut it, chewing on the nuts makes the ice cream eating experience more enjoyable and satisfying. In addition, the nuts provide the necessary proteins, fibers and healthy fats that the body needs. To make it healthier one could substitute rocky road frozen yogurt in place of ice cream but one will have to sacrifice the creamy texture of ice cream in order to eat a healthier desert. Now one could also eat a low sugar version of the frozen yogurt but this curtails in taking some chemicals along with the sweet. However, if not eating too many calories but still enjoying a desert is the main goal, this would definitely get the job done.

Ideally, I prefer my ice cream in a big special cone, like the ones you see in cold stone’s. In addition, I like the big cones with a coating of chocolate since this adds to the flavor once you are done eating the main part of the ice cream and then take a bite into the chocolate cone along with the ice cream. The combination of the chocolate-coated cone along with the rocky road chocolate ice cream and the almonds just create the right mix of flavor and texture that sends the taste buds in chocolate heaven.

I also like bananas with my ice cream. Adding bananas to ice cream just elevates the flavor of the ice cream. It is like a catalyst that creates a much stronger taste reaction. I like chewing on the yummy bananas and then ice cream fills in the vacuum in your mouth creating a very powerful taste. Eating just a little bit makes you want to wharf down the whole bowl rapidly. Therefore, it is a good idea to talk to someone while eating this ice cream to avoid eating too quickly. Bananas and ice cream should always be enjoyed in others company to get a longer taste session.
