The niubility of President Obama sometimes is ungelivable. 你懂的。

The fears over nuclear wipe-out of the human kind are scarcely the elephant in the room.

The U.S. military and intelligence units have been scrambling across the world, including Iran, North Korea, Iraq, and Afghanistan. They must be quite jaded.

As RIM continues notching up a larger market share,

the prospect of it reaches lower. Its inertia will not prolong. It is really badly in need of raising its game vis-a-vis Google and Apple.

I for one don't like very much the fact that the U.S. society condones extreme competition at workplaces.

On a related note, google "逃离北上广" (a new phenomenon in China) if you like.

The works by the marketing and PR arms of Google Inc. are so understatedly elegant and enrapturing.

One of my friends once said I am a Google fan.

In order to compete in and contribute to this globalized world in this era which is post the democratization of computing, English fluency is no longer sufficient,

and a measure of real proficiency in informational apparatus (a.k.a. IT, if you will) is mandatory too, for average Joes and Janes.

The rapid advances or changes of the society can feel nipping sometimes.

That is a piteous conundrum that most of us are put in, I am afraid, my friend.

So far, the lyrics of The Shins are the hardest ones for me to understand, in the pop music of the English world.

But, man, they're such an excellent band. And the music and lyrics created and performed by them are really substantially poetic.

In some of her music videos, the apparitional Lady Gaga seems to be difficult to appreciate.

It has gradually been revealed that being with myself brings more than being myself does.

It appears that Western Europeans tend to be clad in more tasteful apparel than that is seen on Canadian streets.

To give and take is an art.

Vial (Part 3)

At the beginning he had not gotten the funds
Although he was a premier intellectual in his field
He had the officials' numbers to dial
To circumvent the paperwork pile

European university students have been notching up violent massive protests one after another, such as in U.K. and France.

The tax dollars redistribution measures over distinct societal welfare streams seem to be in need of a serious overhaul, both in the U.S. and the Old World.

The apparition of the conflicts between the North and South Korea must be immensely unsettling in the geopolitical and geo-military landscape of the Yellow Sea.

Extended periods of real peace are hard to come by.

The Shins, is in fact a must-know band in the American Indie Pop scene. Apparently, the band was sheerly bootstrapping on a low budget while making the above music videos. Nonetheless, I really get a kick out of the song. So here I turn it in, hand it in, and kick it in to you. Listen on (albeit the lyrics are a bit clunky).

Many of Google's products are really very subtly penetrating.

The U.S. may have well hit an impasse on its trek of economic recovery, because of the entrenched interests of some politicians and wealthy people and the likes, it seems.
