After all Microsoft is still a global enterprise, despite a huge disaster of Windows Vista.  Hmmm.  The United States is still a world leader despite the huge disaster of the Iraqi war.  That is only the beginning of the similarities. This country has had its share of poor leadership and buggy software as it glides through a stormy economy and a changing world.  If you look at popularity in the world market, both Microsoft and the United States have been declining in popularity.  Now that the president-elect is making the world take a new look at the USA, is Bill Gates trying to do the same for his founding company?

Bill Gates will never be the president of the United States, but he might hold a political position in the government.  This new face of Mr. Gates will help Microsoft, since he will always be the mascot of his founding company. While he helps the world through his foundation, people will respect that and not mind a blue screen or loosing all there documents to a new virus.  The cost of the software will increase and corporations and individuals will purchase the overpriced bugy software knowing that they are helping humanity.

However, few of us will hold tightly to our Unix based computers systems as we watch the average consumer file for bankruptcy. They will wonder why it costs over $400 to fix there system at Best Buy and other retailers but will be quickly reminded that there continue support of the Microsoft empire has allowed the Gates Foundation to help the world and make Bill Gates a political adviser.

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.

Next time your Internet Service Provider (ISP) stops by to fix your computer connection be very careful what you say to him.  Apparently a new policy from ISP’s is: if we can’t fix the problem we will have you arrested.  A Nova Scotian playwright was arrested for threatening an ISP Technician, telling him that she would keep him hostage until her Internet was up and working.  If the technician felt like a hostage then aren’t we hostages to the Internet Service Provider?  When we are cut off from the Internet that is the equivalent of being placed in a cold white cell and feed bread and water.  Now this story is from our wacky northern friends,  referred by some as Maple Lovers or for the rest of the world just Canadians. But I’m sure the Internet Service Provider’s will love to use this Police State policy to arrest anyone who complains about there Service. Next time your talking to the Customer Care Representative over your Cable, Internet or Phone issues just remember to be nice because if they don’t like your attitude they can send you to Jail!
