Apple Haters already called WWDC 2010 Keynote “a boring non-event” an hour before it even started.

Surprise, surprise!

Apple Haters Worldwide have already called the WWDC 2010 Keynote as “a boring non-event” an hour before it even started. Based on a telepathically stollen notes from Paul “Microsoft Defender” Thurrott, the only good thing about the Keynote was the announcement of inclusion of Bing into Apple’s closed ecosystem. Thurrott still insists that Microsoft Windows 7 Mobile Phone 7 number Seven already crushed the iPhone. “You still can’t get Microsoft Office and Silverlight and Zune and Steve Ballmer’s hair on the iPhone” says Thurrott. He even added that iPhone OS 4 is an evolutionary upgrade from iPhone OS 3; unlike Microsoft’s Seven Windows 7 Phone Seven Series Seven Ultra The Seventh.

Rob Enderle of The Enderle Me-Myself-and-I group is busy writing his fifth column of the day berating the upcoming WWDC 2010 Keynote. Enderle compares Apple with The Legionaire of Doomsday; similar to Legion of Doom™ but not as trademarked. Enderle believes that WWDC 2010 Keynote is a front for Apple to open a portal to free Ktulu.

Some Android hardcore fan proclaimed that the watever next iPhone be called is lame. That’s because the iPhone 4gettable doesn’t have 10-inch touchscreen and access to free market. The Android hardcore fan points out that no one can get a dedicated porn apps on the iPhone. “What’s the point having something you can touch with porn in it?”

Meanwhile, Jason Chen is sitting at home reading WWDC 2010 Keynote live coverage on other sites. Jason said: “I disassembled the next iPhone prototype, who wants to touch me?”
Eric Cartman calls Jason Chen “lame.”

There a re a lot more rants against Apple and WWDC 2010, unfortunately our telepath is taking a mandatory union break.

The last time I checked, Karate is a Japanese Martial Art and Jackie Chan is not.

I first saw the billboard for The Karate Kid movie while I was driving on the freeway, then I saw the trailer. I have heard that Jackie Chan was going to be the master and some kid with last name Smith was going to be the Karate Kid. Here’s what’s wrong with this movie: why?

Have Hollywood lost their minds?

Part of Hollywood have lost their minds long ago, with all the unnecessary remakes and total lack of original ideas. There were three Karate Kid movies in the 80’s and one in the 90’s. Now Hollywood think that we all need another Karate Kid. Unfortunately they got it all wrong already. “Karate Kid” in China? I thought that Karate is a Japanese martial art. Not only that Hollywood is lacking originality, but they also lacking the ability to write decent scripts.

Apparently all Asians are the same. Maybe Hollywood should make a movie where all the Asian character played by non-Asians. Wait a minute, M. Night Shyamalan is already doing it.

Will Smith probably is going after me for bashing this movie.

What’s next? A remake of American Pie that takes place in Canada?

Anything Sorta Goes: GizmodoGate, Microsoft vs. Android, and South Park!

It has been a busy week and I somehow forgot to write anything for this site. As a matter of fact, everyone are busy with their day job, personal life, etc. I told myself that I should be the first to break the streak this time.

Anyway, huge story from last week, even though I don’t really want to talk about it. The GizmodoGate! The San Mateo DA issued a search warrant to seize evidence in the “lost” Apple 4th Generation iPhone Prototype. Jason Chen, Gizmodo and Gawker Media are yelling “FOUL!” and trying to hide behind the Journalist shield law. The evidence in a way is pretty damnig. Jason Chen is smart enough to have video of himself with the iPhone, which turned out to be considered a stolen item. In addition to that, Gizmodo admits that they paid some money for the iPhone from the person who “found” it. Jason Chen also smart enough to take the iPhone apart and document it; you can find the videos easily, Google is your best friend. Jason Chen has now hired a defense lawyer. The EFF for sure scrutinizing the conduct of the San Mateo and the Rapid Enforcement Allied Computer Team (REACT). EFF is great but sometimes they could go overboard. Personally I do not like Gizmodo for all the attention-grabbing stunts they have done in the past, and most likely in the future. Anyone remembers 2008 CES?

This one is a shocker and predictable. Microsoft is asserting the rights to collect royalty payment over Android Operating System. HTC has agreed to pay Microsoft for using Android Operating System. Where are the torches and pitchforks? The last time I saw them marching to Cupertino after Apple sued HTC for Patent Infringement. Where is the rage Mr. Laporte?

Now, let’s get on to the finale of this post. South Park, Censorships, and Muhammad. For those who care already know what happened to South Park. April 14th, 2010 South Park celebrated its 2ooth episode with an episode aptly titled “200.” The episode drew somehow offended some Muslims and a group based in New York posted a warning against South Park creators.

RANT ALERT!
Seriously? You’re based in New York and you’re enjoying the Freedom Of Speech to threaten others for their Freedom Of Speech. Why don’t you move to a cave somewhere in the Middle East and then you can complain about other’s Freedom Of Speech. Wait, it’s still ironic. The Qur’an has never specifically or explicitly forbidden images of Muhammad. Now you’re threatening other human being over it?
/END OF THIS RANT

April 21st, 2010 Comedy Central aired “201” with tons of extra audio bleeps. Sure they bleeped out profanities. Comedy Central also bleeped out any utterance of “Muhammad” from the episode. Even further, Comdey Central bleeped out the closing speech that didn’t even mention anything about Muhammad. According to South Park Studios, Comedy Central does not approve the airing or streaming of Episode “201” in its original form. The episode was subsequently pulled off the air and has not been approved for sale on places such as iTunes Store and Amazon Video On Demands. In addition to that Comedy Central also pulled Episode “200” off the rebroadcast and the online stores.

Thousands of complaints from readers of this blog were sent to Comedy Central. Who’s to blame? Comedy Central is acting to protect their employees while subsequently caving in to terrorist’s demand.

ANOTHER RANT ALERT!
I for one values the First Amendment to The United States Constitution:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Comedy Central is acting within their rights to censor South Park. Matt Stone and Trey Parker have the right to express their opinion through their creation that is South Park. The fans have the right to complain to Comedy Central.

I am so appaled by the action of the party responsible for the death threats against Matt Stone and Trey Parker. Are there any Muslims out there who agree that the death threats is against everything what being human is all about? I do not want to be associated with anyone who supports violent against the South Park Creators. This is not the 13th century. For the Muslims who still thinks the custom of one region of the world from hundreds of years ago is the way the world should be, please leave us be.
