Do you realize what “1 laptop per child” means ?

admin — Fri, 16 May 2008 05:42:01 +0000

In our days there is a trend .
All big companies try to make cheap laptops for children. Only there is one issue , children do not buy the laptops , they do not reach the kids . They reach all the tech freaks that are hungry for the latest gadgets

Anyway , back to our story .
Think of this , the 1 Laptop Per Child project somehow having success , and all our kids being able to buy cheap laptops so they can learn
Imagine those 2-3 billion laptops that in 3-4 years will get thrown away . Where do 2-3 billion laptops go ?
The Laptop Per Child project was created by the devil to speed up the destruction of Earth . (just kidding)

I am ok with this project, everyone should have the chance to learn , everyone should have an equal chance in life , but we need to think of ways to recycle these laptops . Millions of EeePC laptops and HP-Mini laptops , where do they all go ?

I will think of that later , after i will buy my own EeePC 900 . The recycling can wait

No really , we need to think of our future , we need to find ways to recycle all this tech stuff , so we can keep buying the gadgets we all love

Hippies smashing an IPhone – makes them cool

In this clip we see a bunch of Hippies smashing something that looks like an IPhone , also an IPod . It is good to see something like this , i would like to see these kind of actions every day . Now what does it mean ? is it the same old Fight the Power ?
I am surprised that someone actually tossed an IPod on the scene so it can be smashed. If i would want to smash my IPod , at least let me smash it man ! I paid a big ass price to Apple for this overpriced mp3 player , and if i am temporarily insane and want to throw my money out the window , I want to do it .
Not some glorified hammer man with a huge hammer
One thing must be noted though , these devices are really hard to smash as you can see , and no real pieces come out of them . We have to admit they are built to last

Overall i like the ideea , i would have loved to be there and see these overpriced pieces of turd being smashed to pieces. Also in the future i would like to see more stuff being smashed , like microwave ovens or high priced car audio systems .
Untill next time , go go go on the Apple bashing Iphone smashing fest !

Why spend 800 $ on a laptop when you can spend 2000$ ?

Why would anyone spend more money on a gadget / work device (whatever you call your internet porn watching machine) than they normally would ?

Because we are stupid , we let ourselves controlled by the media. For example If you hear enough people talking about sand and how great it tastes , you would buy sand !

Why would anyone stand on a 1.5 h line to buy a video game ? Because he heard from a friend or a friend’s friend who heard from TV that that game is the best shit on the market .

This is how we are controlled in buying the latest gadgetry crap on the market , and the king of bullshit is … .wait … .wait … YES – Apple

For years and years Apple has pushed overpriced software / hardware on the market and yes we all bought it . The worst part is that we where made to believe that we like it !

Come on , there is no actual reason for buying something that costs double/triple than any other device on the market (same specs)

Actually they do deserve the money they are getting , they should get the Nobel Prize for mass manipulation and overselling shit for decades
