Google is Ten today.  That’s right he’s smarter then a 5th grader too.  Ten years ago Larry Page and Sergey Brin founded Google Inc. (September 7th, 1998 for those who can’t count backwards!)   Over the years google has brought us many online toys like – Gmail, Google Docs, Google Earth, Okurt and Picasa to name only a few.  However many may have forgeten that the baby-curse word started out as search engine from Stanford University.  More of the boring info is at Wikipedia (google on wikipedia!). But if want to see what they looked like when first launched here’s a peek from the wayback machine: Google 1998.

All over CNN today is Obama’s campaign saying that McCain has voted with Bush 90% of the time.  What they leave out is from the same data Obama voted for bush 40% of the time.  On top of that he has voted for Democrat party vote 100% of the time, while McCain in the past had crossed party lines and has voted on Democrat party issues as well.  It seems that Obama is taking numbers that don’t mean anything since Republicans seem to vote on Republican policies while Democrats vote on Democrat Policies. If you look at who has crossed the party lines more then that is McCain.   What really gets me is that CNN, which I’ve always read, seems to be supporting Obama 100%; Even to the extreme of having an article about Obama’s view on McCain that sports a pro Obama Advertisement. The article in question is titled “McCain is just part of Washington crowd, Democrats say” and spots an advertisement from Obama’s supporters on the page. (The screenshot of the site is posted above.)  I haven’t seen one McCain advertisement over the entire site and to me this is a sure sign that the Obama campaign is buying its news material.

What is wrong with that?  Here I write things about what is Technically Foreign, those little things that don’t make sense for the majority but for a few it might be perfectly sane. What doesn’t make sense to me is why is the Obama campaign keep on repeating McCain’s voting record and not explaining how Obama is going to be able to do what he says while he voted 100% of the time with his Democrat party?  In all politics are messy and numbers and percents never add up.  Why can’t both sides drop the blaming game and explain to us why they will be the leader that we need during these hard times.

Here is the transcript of the speech.

As the Van Halen song says.. “Big Bad Billy is Sweet William now!” Most Internet and monkey wrenched technically non-foreign people have heard that this is the last day on the job for Bill Gates.  Yeah you know him as the richest man in the world, the super-man of Microsoft, the geek-with-the-mostest or just the founder of Microsoft.  In tribute to the last day there are three questions that I will never get to ask Billy, three questions that have been ripping me apart for the past 25 years (Yes I’ve been following the guy since i was 6!).

Question 1:  Why do you still wear those dorky glasses when you can obviously aford laser surgery? (Who do you think you are, Clark Kent?)

Question 2: Do you really use Windows Vista? (yeah we know secretly your still playing World of Warcraft on Windows XP.)

Question 3: Why don’t you make a game show to give your money away?  (‘Who wants Bill Gates Money?’ might not crash as quick as Vista!)

So good-bye Bill Gates and hello Microsoft 2.0, a day without Bill, a day many of us thought would never happened.  We will miss you even though we barely saw you, heard from you or even wonder what you really were doing behind that large oak door in your office. Oh and I wonder if Steve Jobs is having a party today too!
