When Things Go Too Far!

I have just read a blog posting at zdnet.com about Muslims being offended by Apple 5th Ave store, due to it resembling the Ka'ba in Mecca. I do not ascribe to any religion for many reasons, that does not mean I hate people who believe in a religion, I just do not ascribe to worship of a higher being. Now I do believe that there is something greater than us. So this post is not intended to offend anyone.


I feel this is going a little too far. For some people this is the Holy Grail of stores, the Mecca of Apple Stores. People in general use these religious symbols or places to convey the feeling they have for this place. I would also bet that the designer did not think "I am going to rip off the Ka'ba so I can offend Muslims". There are many structures that are square in design. Why be offended about something that most people would not know resembles the Ka'ba.


The basis of this is that people need to stop being so sensitive. I believe that everyone can live together, just a little bit of understanding and loss of the belief that "I am right" would go along way.

UPDATE!!


Maybe I was wrong to react. I maybe I was too sensitive. Have a look at this blog post.

Slide Share

This looks like a great online app to share presentation. This would work well for trainers.

Apple iPhone

I was looking through Digg.com under the Apple section. And found this great post. I think the iPhone is so close to its unveiling. It would be amazing. Accept I am becoming more and more annoyed with phones that do 101 things. If they where compatible then it would be great.

Now that the iPhone is so close, I think that it will work seemlessly with my brand spanking new Macbook Pro 17". An all-in-one device would be gret as long as it worked and was not the size of a breeze block.

I hope this will happen soon, due to the fact that my contract will finish soon.

I really hate penalties, they are the worst thing for football. It is not a representation of the hard work of the game.

And the big question:

Was it really a red card?

Apple Discount Announce Winners

I found this website on digg.com about Apple Discount announcing their contest winners. All of the ideas that are illustrated by the winners are fantastic. I think that these are the best, but check it out.

Nike+iPod (Nano)





This looks to be the most amazing combination that I have seen in a long time. Ok maybe the Mac move to Intel was good but this is amazing. I love it because I love sport and studied Sport Science at University. What an amazing way to use your iPod!!!!




It has a wireless module on the bottom of the iPod Nano that reads the info from the sensor in the shoe. You can then sync your information with iTunes and NikePlus and get analysis of your workout. Go to http://www.apple.com/ipod/nike/ or http://www.nikeplus.com/ for more information.

I was absolutely horrified when I read this article from 'The Consumerist' website:

One detail that we missed in the on-going Bausch & Lomb eye fungus scandal is that the Health Ministry of Singapore had reported several cases of a corneal fungus since November 2004. Commonality between sufferers? Bausch & Lomb’s ReNu with MoistureLoc Multi-Purpose Solution for contact lenses.

Still, because the ReNu formula wasn’t currently causing American customers to go blind, Bausch & Lomb decided to just ignore the problem. Which, as we all know, has led to 109 people almost going blind as their eyes are replaced with a socket full of itchy, flesh-eating fungus.

What was Bausch & Lomb’s justification for ruining the lives of people who put their trust in them? According to B&L, they didn’t feel they needed to initiate an American recall because the Singapore solution was made in a different plant

God, we hope these scumbags get taken for billions in the upcoming class-action lawsuit.

New Japanese Red Maple Bonsai

Well for Bank Holiday Monday we bought a new bonsai. It completely dwarfs my original birthday bonsai, by a good 8 inches. The Maple is called 'Chokkan Dai', Chokkan means formal, straight trunk, and Dai means over 24 inches tall.

Bonsai

I have finally got a Bonsai tree. I have looked at Bonai's for a long time now and finally I have received one for my birthday.

It is a lovely 12 years old Chinese Elm. It has two trunks with a rock in between them. From what I have read it is a Moyogi Dai. Moyogi means 'informal, upright, trunk changing direction' and Dai means my tree is 24 - 40'' from base to apex.

As soon as I have pictures that will do my Bonsai justice, I will upload it ASAP.

Apples new products. Are they really worth it?


Now I love Apple, I love my iPod and I also love music, however, is there any real point in the new iPod Hi-Fi? You can dock it to charge it and play music. As far as I can ascertain, you can't control the iPod like front row and you can't do any AV out. You would probably be better off getting the AV connection kit from Apple or the Griffin Tune center. Now I understand that saying that is good if you have a video iPod. But my partner has a mini and she uses the dock that sits on our TV. All we would really need to do is invest into a home theatre sound system for our TV and for Apple to update the iPod software for better control using the remote. So, do you really need the iPod Hi-Fi or just invest in some small portable speakers for the kitchen etc?

So I am not a big fan of the iPod Hi-Fi, but this little puppy is amazing. Trash the DVD player and replace with this. Not only does it have the intel core duo/solo, it connects to your TV, streams shared music and is beautiful. Genius, pure genius.

You are evil, but you haven't yet mastered the dark side. Fear not though - you are on your way to world domination.

How Evil Are You?

This would be the best product to date. Hope the battery is the same as the 5G or better. Also the screen scratching issue needs to be resolved before the consumer will be willing to buy. Still an amazing product.

"What is your Greatest Fear?"

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us; it is everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from out fear, our presences automatically liberates others.

- Marrianne Williamson

South Park Fun


I have had so much fun on this site Create A Character. Me as a convict great fun.

Automator

If you are a Mac geek like me then this will probably be old news to you. But I have now had the honor of using Automator and found some great workflows to use with Xkeys. The first is ejecting your iPod without having to be in iTunes or see your desktop.

I opened Automater and created a workflow by using Eject iPod and saved it as an application to my apps folder. Once I had downloaded Xkeys and installed it I assigned the F8 key to the application. So now I just press F8 at anytime and my iPod ejects. I did the same for 'Update iPod' and assigned it to F7. Accept this time it has to be the FN + F7 due to the function already assigned to the key.

It has just made my life easier, this is awesome.

Trip to Canada

I have now had the pleasure of visiting Toronto, Canada. Well to be more precises Georgetown, Ontario. I am actually a citizen of Canada, but this is the first time in the country. Brilliant.

What an amazing place. At the moment it is completely covered in snow, but it does not feel cold. I know you are thinking I am crazy when the temperature is -4 C. It isn't so cutting, it feels dry rather than damp like the UK in winter.

I have the pleasure of staying with Warren Evans. He has the most gorgeous house. It has 3 stories and a basement. The basement itself is the size of my houses ground floor. I will try and post some images but I forgot my bloody cable to transfer the pics, so will have to pick up a media card reader. IDIOT.

Please go and check out Warrens Website(He is a futurist and service excellence guru).

Also have a look at Susan Luke's website.

I am so happy and excited at the moment as I am going to florida on Tuesday. I can't wait I have never been to the U.S before. We have three weeks over there. We are going to see Mickey and his friends at Disney. Going to Busch Gardens, Seaworld & Universal. It is going to be so much fun, plus my partner is celebrating her 33rd birthday two days after we arrive. Her present is to go and see the Cirque du Soleil (La Nouba show at Disney). It is absolutely amazing to watch these people doing such outstanding gymnasts and co-ordinated dancing etc. Mind blowing!!!

Hope you enjoy my Mac homepage. I will make sure to publish any more URL's if I add some more photos.

I have found two great websites. Just have a look, absolutely brilliant.

The Time Movie
The Survivor Movie

I was listening to my podcasts the other day. In fact I was reviewing the 'Inside Mac Radio' podcasts. As I was going through the podcasts I found one very interesting thing called Konfabulator. If you know anything about Macs new OS (Tiger) then you may have heard about the dashboard. The dashboard untilises widgets, if you want to know more visit dashboard to see exactly how it works. Now if you are using a Windows based machine you could be very fustrated to know that these cool widgets are only used on Mac WRONG!!! Yahoo has bought the original software that ran widgets from a small american company called Konfabulator. Now if you go to Konfabulator now you can download the software to run the widgets for FREE. It works with Mac AND Windows based machines. Also for the mac users you do not need to be running Tiger (very obvious, due to the fact you would not need this software if you are running tiger). So go ahead and have a look, it is great. I have it on my work PC and my Mac laptop.
