GPhone and iPhone: Openness Vs. Sleekness

Well years ago many complained that the Mac was closed and the PC open. This openess lead to viruses, spyware, root kits and no end of malware. In the end of the day if it is a phone it has to make an answer calls. Apple is right in not letting anything run in the background, in that way they can insure the phone works OK.

Marc Andreessen on Financial Crises, No IPOs, and Obama

There is nothing in his record that show Obama is a centrist. The only thing that i am sure Obama stands for is becoming president.

While it is very popular to bash Bush he did prevent more terrorism on our soil. He definitely spent too much money and made one huge strategic error in the Iraq war. That error was in disbanding the Iraqi military. All he needed to do was to double their pay and they would have gladly fought for the US and their own country. Would have saved 5 years of anguish. Bribery gets you everywhere, apparently.
