Man Politely Robs Wash. Store

I really ‘like’ this video, but not in amusing way. From the description:

Authorities have made an arrest in a weekend convenience store robbery that a Seattle store owner found remarkable for the robber’s politeness. Officers quickly identified a suspect from tips received after this surveillance video “went viral”. (Feb. 7)

I don’t want to comment on that old robber. Many of us will have different point of views. Here is one interesting comment from a viewer:

yea and the federal government has robbed this man at gunpoint for tens of thousands thoughout his life .ss medicaid medicare fica unconstitutional income . tax. the state robs him to register his vehicle, state income tax property tax school tax gasoline tax, tax on taxes. the federal reserve devalues the dollar ruins the economy. goldman sacs and j p morgan steal bailout tax dollars to pay for their yachts. we gave 90 billion to mubarak in egypt. and u people call him a thief i dont think so..

In my mind, the shop owner is really a wise man, who understand the robber situation, even that robber did a bad thing, which will end up himself and his family in worse condition. Nobody knows, how it is feel like in that robber ‘shoes’.

This is an Internet – From Top Gear

Yeah. This is internet. Where people leaning forward, instead of backward. Maybe to reach the keyboard and to read something while watching the video. When you watching television, you just leaning back, doing nothing, changing channel, waiting for the commercial to finish and nothing else.

Meaningless Life in Foxconn

"I feel no sense of achievement and I’ve become a machine.”

“Life is meaningless,”. “Everyday, I repeat the same thing I did yesterday. We get yelled at all the time. It’s very tough around here.”

Conversation on the production line is forbidden, bathroom breaks are kept to 10 minutes every two hours and constant noise from the factory washes past his ear plugs, damaging his hearing, Ah Wei said. The company has rejected three requests for a transfer and his monthly salary of 900 yuan ($132) is too meager to send home to his family.

“It’s the prices,” said Gordon. “Their prices are lower for high-quality work.”

“The fundamental problem for Foxconn and other Chinese factories is that their business model relies on a low-cost workforce sourced from rural areas of China,” BussinesWeek

Stuxnet Attack on Iran Nuclear

The element written by the first group, which was activated after Stuxnet reached its target and is known as the “payload”, is very complex, well designed and effective, according to Mr Parker’s analysis. He believes this is evidence of the involvment of a major Western power or powers – potentially including Britain – because they have both the scarce cyber expertise, and access to the tightly-regulated nuclear equipment necessary to test the virus. Telegraph

Scott Borg of the United States Cyber-Consequences Unit suggested that Israel might prefer to mount a cyber-attack rather than a military strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities. According to Borg this kind of attack could involve disrupting sensitive equipment such as centrifuges using malware introduced via infected memory sticks: “Since the autumn of 2002, I have regularly predicted that this sort of cyber-attack tool would eventually be developed. Israel certainly has the ability to create Stuxnet and there is little downside to such an attack, because it would be virtually impossible to prove who did it. So a tool like Stuxnet is Israel’s obvious weapon of choice.” Wikipedia

Google – Don’t Be Evil

Just want to share. Different peoples may have different opinion about this. I agree with Jamie Court (third video below), that Google should give the users option whether want to be tracked or not. Or course we can delete the cookies or download TOr or anything else. But, google should also show their concern and care about peoples choice. Of course it is almost impossible for anybody to say that they didn’t need Google. Just show that they care about peoples.
