Sigh. RIM may have very well missed another opportunity to save itself. It was a huge mistake. The company's end will present itself anon.

Here goes an essay over egalitarianism which is difficult to read for my completely untrained eyes.

See EQUALITY -- WHAT IT IS, by Prof. Ted Honderich who had worked at and had been educated at UCL. The essay tries to explain the core of the ideology of the Left, I suppose. The drift must be he's with the Left, I guess?

The HTML5 localStorage and sessionStorage thing is interesting.

Many Chinese immigrants in Canada are hindered, by their inadequate or outright limited English, when they face career choices. That's a moment of truth.

They lack the required cultural capital and it's likely no one had told them that before they boarded on an airplane and flew out of the Chinese border. The thing is, not only they lack it, but also they don't have time or aren't willing to remedy it.

It's said that in Canada, many people in traditional service trades have questionable honesty. For instances, car mechanics, building repair people, and financial advisers (read, financial salesmen).

And we often hear journalists cry out "buyers beware".

But, it still may be the case that the numbers of good people in those trades far exceed that of their corrupt peers.

Any biz deal is an exchange of biz values and economic values. You've got to accept it, warts and all.

It seems that there are all kinds of rodeos taking place in this world.

We have the traditional rodeos, we have the motorcycle rodeos, we have the auto ones, and now we have the browsing rodeo. Yes, browsing is becoming a rodeo, you know, riding a wildly capable browser till you're dizzy. See Chrome Multitask Mode.

I think it's not my cup of tea, well, yet?

Are we gonna see Oracle's crumbling down the road?

New technologies which can make themselves popular are always the hit squad of their older counterparts.

And welcome to the lifelong learning software industry.

You've got to enjoy life, warts and all.

For every entrepreneur at the beginning, it's natural for him to be doubtful.

But after having chased and researched about the market and potential customers, it's then natural for him to be more confident and productive.

The spinach I used to eat in China is quite different than the one I see in local commonplace grocery stores in Montreal such as IGA.

To cook the spinach available over here, frying with oil doesn't do well. Instead, sautéing the spinach with butter produces a smoothly delicious green veggie dish.

Seriously, I do think that French sounds prettier and more elegant than English does.

For instance, the English word "pate" sounds O.K., but, the French word "paté" appears more pleasant in ear, and, the French term "paté de foie gras" is most pleasing and stimulates rich imagination in one's mind for the gourmet little thing!

In an open society like Canada, it's impossible to entirely bar the flow and residence of foreign spies through and in its territories. But I guess that CSIS wants to monitor and control those particular flow and residence.

One's got to singe his own ignorant imagination and pipe dreams by constant reality checks.

Just now I pried a fact out of the long history of computing. Apple had been developing and selling the Newton PDA by its 1998 end, which people say is the very first handheld PDA.

See http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/PDA.

I wonder how much of that legacy has been used to prop up their roll-out of iPhone.

Perhaps I prate about English too much.

I'm not sure what the future holds for the Calgary Stampede.

It's improbable that unions are able to outface the employers. Time has changed.

IMO, Java will be largely out of mode.
