This blog is partly devoted to the sharing of my learning of the English language (my well mastered mother tongue is Chinese and I am not an English teacher) and its *cultures*, partly to the current significant trends in Canada and in the world, and partly to my own random thoughts and little life. I am not religious, but I am somewhat interested in Christianity and Buddhism, among other personal interests. Welcome. And, have a good day.

A quote
"He whom the flame of jealousy encompasseth, turneth at last, like the scorpion, the poisoned sting against himself."

Remarkably, NASA's Mars exploration has been 50 years in the making.
The Curiosity land rover looks fantastic in action.

There are certainly some grim aspects of life.
Then everyone must learn by himself how to place his conscience in the face of those grim aspects.

Some people speculate that the reputedly rock-solid real-time QNX OS which RIM bought up several years ago will facilitate RIM's possible encore.
I don't agree with it. RIM not only has a huge product problem, it but also has a HUGE marketing problem, because it's been forced to be enveloped in the consumer market, which is very different than the enterprise market it'd been used to, by the market shifts, especially the nascent but widely adopted BYOD policies implemented in many companies.

Some blobs in human brains must have very similar mechanisms of emotions.
For instances, most individuals can appreciate the ever popular song "Hotel California" by The Eagles with its fantastic music, and most individuals can be somewhat moved by a military funeral.

Microsoft has revamped its OS offerings and adapted to the mobile world.
Windows 8 probably will not be able to sustain the company's dominance in the IT industry, but it probably will be a really fantastic product for consumers nevertheless.

Life puts almost every friendship to small or big tests, sooner or later.
Then the rhythm and the fate of the friendship is determined.
The United States disrupt all sorts of industry value chains with its customary innovation.
What Apple and Google's Android have done in the mobile sphere is just another example of that.
By contrast, the sad case of RIM's free fall stings many Canadians and makes them ask again if Canadian companies can compete in the technology sector.
"California, here we come".
