			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I may be the last to see this, a war, underground and undeclared, but a war. The opponents are a bit undefined but there is a clear and escalating combat in the world. I&#8217;m not talking about Terrorists, <em>(although the establishment who is under assault may declare their attackers as such)</em>  I  am talking about the the established order, The Multi-Nationals, the Big Press, Governments, Military establishments, Religious organizations. The big anonymous bodies that have been abusing their positions to detriment everyone else. </p>
<p>On the opposing side, are all the little people, groups and oppressed, or the perceived oppressed. Your fellow &#8216;pissed off&#8217; worker setting next to you, who will explode in a fountain of Whistle blowing. A venting of frustration that will result in the next big internet explosion.  </p>
<p>The <a href="http://wikileaks.org/">WikiLeaks</a> is merely the first oozing pustule on the face of the corporeal <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporation"> Corporations</a> of the world. The World of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog">Blogging </a> has for many years undermined the world press both broadcast and print to the point that now the majority of the population now refer to the Internet for real news rather than the handful of corporation owned &#8216;News&#8217; services. </p>
<p>Control has now slipped out of the hands of those who for years have managed the information flow. Evidence of this &#8216;management&#8217; appears almost daily in the presentations of ignorance passed off as &#8216;News&#8217;. And where <a href="http://warmsouthernbreeze.wordpress.com/2010/08/26/httpwww-opensecrets-orgnews201008news-corps-million-dollar-donation-html/">&#8216;Fair and Balanced&#8217;</a> openly bribe governments to maintain control, religious organizations openly attempt to promote such myths as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creationism">Creationism</a> at the scientific Truth.</p>
<p>The tide has turned, and the <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=failing+newspapers">failing newspapers</a> are only the start.  Watch for more WikiLeaks and Whistle Blower sites springing up, more <a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20100806/04331910526.shtml">Lawsuits</a> more <a href="http://blogs.computerworld.com/16803/wikileaks_julian_assange_not_a_rapist_cia_smears?af"> Smear campaigns</a> as the giant attempts to swat the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whistleblower">Whistleblowers</a> who are biting it to death. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been having discussions  all over the net about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartphone">smartphones</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feature_phone">feature phones</a> and the vast marketplace for non smartphones in the third world. A market that Nokia is big in, but is not well supported with things like facebook, Twitter and other social networking communications features, due, in part to the lack of more robust networks in those areas. Even during a discussion at yesterdays <a href="http://corkopencoffee.org/">Cork Open Coffee</a> the subject of community services came up and I was reminded of a New Beta from Nokia called <strong>Nokia Listings</strong> (  <a href="http://news.softpedia.com/news/Nokia-Listings-Optimized-for-Series-40-Phones-151063.shtml"> here, </a><a href="http://www.intomobile.com/2010/08/14/nokia-listings-is-made-to-connect-buyers-and-sellers-in-emerging-markets/"> here, </a><a href="http://betalabs.nokia.com/blog/2010/08/05/introducing-nokia-listings-beta-%E2%80%93-connecting-buyers-and-sellers-in-emerging-markets"> here. </a> and <a href="http://blog.ovi.com/2010/08/10/a-mobile-marketplace-introducing-nokia-listings/"> here </a>) which is intended to support communications, operating within a weak infrastructure, in a social networking type of framework. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not being one to believe in wild conspiracy theories,  (<em>Ok, so I read them sometimes</em>)  here is one that almost makes sense (almost).  </p>
<blockquote><p>
The BP Oil spill was sabotage by U.S. Oil companies trying to eliminate BP from bidding on U.S. offshore Oil drilling contracts!
</p></blockquote>
<p>and the less believable part..</p>
<blockquote><p>
The sabotage was performed on the oil rig through Microsoft Windows software that was used to control the valves. The cyber-attack on the rig was executed from onshore.
</p></blockquote>
<p>UPDATE:  Maybe not so strange <a href="http://twitter.com/JoeGarde"> @JoeGarde</a> just sent me these links <strong> I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll remember this at the time  <a href="http://bit.ly/9BDCze">http://bit.ly/9BDCze</a> there&#8217;s also discussion about NSA and Win 7 <a href="http://bit.ly/bfFmEE">http://bit.ly/bfFmEE</a></strong></p>
<p>UPDATE 2: This is getting bad <a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/07/31/hacking_human_gullibility/">Social-engineering contest reveals secret BP info</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday I just got a trackback from a new article  on  <a href="http://www.businessbuzzhq.com/">Business News, Advices, Quotes</a> And  quite a handful of link through&#8217;s from there also. The funny part, call it amazing, they were linking to blog post I wrote 18 Months ago. Hardly a current, breaking news item, but the article seem to be quite active considering the link through&#8217;s and the minor nature, in context, with what the article was on about.  </p>
<p>The internet really doesn&#8217;t forget. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>All the bad news,<br />
<a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/07/22/nokia_q2_2010_earnings/">Nokia smartphones dumb down profits</a><br />
<a href="http://nokiaexperts.com/nokia-releases-q2-2010-results-profits-market-share-flat/?utm_source=feedburner&#038;utm_medium=feed&#038;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+nokiaexperts+%28Nokia+Experts%29">Nokia releases Q2 2010 results; profits down, market share flat</a><br />
<a href="http://www.allaboutmeego.com/news/item/11852_Nokia_Q2_2010_results-profits_.php">Nokia Q2 2010 results &#8211; profits down but smartphone sales up</a> </p>
<p>So lets do a  <strong>reality check</strong> on the facts;  Nokia profits are Down 40%, but are still making a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profit_%28economics%29">Profit</a>.  Which means they are in the <i>green</i> economically, and are making a Profit of €221M Euros (285M$). But 40% less than last quarter, meaning that they are only making 60% of the profit they made last quarter, during the <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/this-is-the-worst-recession-for-over-100-years-1605367.html">worst recession in over 100 years</a> <strong>And everyone is complaining?  </strong></p>
<p>The only thing this tells me, is that a manufacture like <a href="http://www.apple.com/">Apple</a> who makes more profit on their iPhone 4, is ripping off their customers by charging a premium price for a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartphone">Smartphone</a> and <a href="http://www.nokia.com/">Nokia</a> does not!</p>
<h3>Reality Check cashed, Ka-ching, change your <a href="http://www.allwords.com/word-misperception.html">misperception</a>!</h3>

<p><a href="http://communities-dominate.blogs.com/brands/2010/07/obituary-for-opk-wall-street-is-a-cruel-mistress-nokia-searching-for-ceo.html"><br />
<blockquote>
&#8230;But somehow with Apple, the facts no longer matter. The iPhone was the ultimate best phone ever &#8211; according to Steve Jobs &#8211; and because Steve Jobs says so, that started to become the storyline. The truth didn&#8217;t matter&#8230;
</p></blockquote>
<p></a><br />
<a href="http://www.branedy.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Phones_qt.jpg"><center>Mobile Phones Shipped last quarter</center><img src="http://www.branedy.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Phones_qt.jpg" alt="" title="Phones_qt" width="330" height="282" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1839" /></a><br />
<a href="http://communities-dominate.blogs.com/brands/2010/07/obituary-for-opk-wall-street-is-a-cruel-mistress-nokia-searching-for-ceo.html"><br />
<blockquote>
&#8230;Because Apple was in the game, now anything Steve Jobs said was the word from god. And no matter how severely deficient the first iPhone models were, because they were Apple phones, that meant they were the world&#8217;s &#8216;leading&#8217; phones. And if you didn&#8217;t match the current iPhone model with a potential &#8216;iPhone killer&#8217; &#8211; then you were obsolete. &#8230;
</p></blockquote>

<p><a href="http://communities-dominate.blogs.com/brands/2010/07/obituary-for-opk-wall-street-is-a-cruel-mistress-nokia-searching-for-ceo.html"><br />
<blockquote>
Consider how unfair this issue is. Apple has today 2% of total phone market share. Nokia has 34%. Apple has 14% market share in smartphones &#8211; and has lost market share now for 3 straight quarters. Nokia has 41% market share in smartphones and has been growing market share in the same period. Of Apple&#8217;s flagship phone the iPhone 4 &#8211; with its 5 major improvements now in 2010 &#8211; Nokia has had 4 of those in its phones long before 2007. Why is Apple given any credit as the &#8216;leader&#8217; and Nokia accused as &#8216;having lost the lead&#8217;?

<p>I&#8217;m very, very afraid for the intelligence of the U.S. population.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This video at the BBC U.S. Site that claims <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/world_news_america/8829335.stm">Technology &#8216;rewires&#8217; our brains</a> Is yet another <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoscience">Pseudoscience</a> attempt to baffle with Bullshit, the viewer. It comes off all Super Tech and is really no better than claiming that &#8220;Technology destroys our Brains&#8221;. Just more <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_journalism">Yellow journalism</a>. The disappointing thing is, that it&#8217;s coming from the <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/">BBC</a>. This is for the U.S. (read American) audience, so I suppose it has to be <a href="http://www.thefreedictionary.com/dumbed">Dumbed</a> down to that level of that group.     </p>
<p>But it is a sorry thing to watch happen.     </p>
