Google’s dumbass copyright letters

So, in order for me to fill a DMCA complaint, i must send an actual letter to Google. Of course, 99% of the people do not do that. And Google bets on it.

So, blogger.com and youtube.com and picasa is filled with copyrighted material. And Google makes money on it.

Amazon pricing

Let’s take a Sony HDR TG3 camcorder. I’ve receive one from sony to play with for a couple of weeks. I really like it and i want to buy one.

A Canon 400D, my current camera:

Did i mention that the dollar is weaker that the euro? And the European Union has the same taxes for electronics in every country?

responsibility for our kids

I think the American higher education system is well-thought. With college taxes, i mean. You have two choices to achieve higher learning: either you are good and receive a scholarship, either your parents save some money. We are not equal. Some are born with chances, others have to fight for them. And, if your parents did not consider your future, well, you have to work hard. 

The Romanian system is wrong. Because every other dumass gets to go to college and he graduates and we have a construction engineer who doesn’t understand any measurements. Or a marketing gal who’s idea of a marketing pitch is a nice banner. And there are a lot of examples like that, of people who have a degree, but lack everything else. because they do not work hard, because it’s not necessary.

I know it’s harsh, but you don’t succeed being nice.
