Great demonstration of support

Rogel @ September 30, 2007 # No Comment Yet

This was an beautiful demonstration of support.
Few days ago Ron Paul’s campaign launched a last minute effort to boost their third quarter by additional $500,000. The message, requesting the grassroots support in the fundraising effort, was published on the campaign blog and through the supporters mailing list, but not through any main stream media advertisement. […]

Crowded

The news about Newt Gingrich’s probable joining to the GOP Primaries is very good news.
It isn’t because Gingrich is the most Libertarian candidate, Ron Paul is. But when the dust will settle it is better to have Gingrich as a viable option to Thompson, Giuliani or McCain. Gingrich is one of the more colorful candidates […]

One person one vote, not quite

I’m finding my self speechless pretty rarely, but watching this video is one of them.

I am very suspicious about government in general and this kind of reports doesn’t calm my suspicions down…

Still here

Rogel @ September 25, 2007 # No Comment Yet

The last few days were pretty hectic, and it is going to be somewhat crazier in the days to come. An important project, with crazy deadline, requires most of my attention for the next few days. Not surprisingly, more than I’m missing updating this blog I’m missing reading others. The reading backlog is simply unbelievable…

 And, […]

Social applications that works

In the last post I rant about the epidemic flood of social networks, and the lack of added value they providing. But I need to correct a wrong impression I might created. I do think that their is a vast use to social parameters in the Internet, most […]

Why is everybody so enthusiastic?

Rogel @ September 20, 2007 # 3 Comments

I really don’t get it. I’m probably already way to old but I simply don’t understand the excitement about online social networks. I was tempted few years ago and opened an account in LinkedIn, and since than my only activity is to approve occasional contact. All my contacts are people I knew before, and my relationships with them […]

From here and from there - 4

Rogel @ September 19, 2007 # No Comment Yet

Admitting that an idea you strongly believed, and advocated for, turned to be a colossal mistake is one of the most difficult things. It is not easier when you are one of the expert in your field. It is somewhat painful to read Fuad Ajami’s column about Iraq, and the war he so strongly advocated for. His writing […]

Only one, shaky, business model?

The New York Times decided to open its content to non-paying readers. The reason behind the decision was simple, the NY Times calculated that they can earn more money from selling add for higher traffic than from subscriptions and advertisement for less readers. While I’m sure that the NY Times calculations were thorough I’m a little bit […]

Cautious optimism

Rogel @ September 18, 2007 # No Comment Yet

Finally it seems that Ron Paul’s numbers are getting out of the margin of error. Although he isn’t, yet, in a position to win the nomination he seems to position himself above most of the second tier candidates (if we still considering Romney as first tier, which is doubtful). It is yet to early to speculate what the numbers […]

Which protection is better?

Rogel @ September 18, 2007 # No Comment Yet

The EU decision, to fine Microsoft and to uphold the commissioner’s decision to remove free additional applications from Windows distributions, has nothing to do with consumers interests. The commissioner and the appeal court fighting a battle, on a war that was over awhile ago and not because of government regulations. The reality is that Microsoft hegemony is weakening […]
