The problem with Flash

12 November 2011

It’s not the CPU consumption. Not even close. It’s the faulty product. By the time you have red  these 20 words, a new Flash exploit has been found. And this is a fact. I don’t care about my phone battery, i care about occupying 100% of my processor after i have closed the tab on […]

Not jumping at the money

31 October 2011

One friend slipped on the stairs and hit her head. We got her to the hospital and, rather and wait at the state hospital, someone made a call and got her a private doctor to see her. The call was made to a person I have adviced one time on some internet moves and, rather […]

very little original content…

29 January 2011

A quote from a discussion about the new Google search changes, from a guy who operates an aggregator: There is very little "truly original" content out there, virtually every single blog rehashes the content of others. Is Techmeme of no value? Is Digg of no value? Is Topix of no value? Also, we do actually […]

Did Microsoft made Google great?

25 July 2010

In the begining there was Internet Explorer. The fact that all spyware was directed to it made Firefox gain 10-20% marketshare. Inserting the search box on the top right of the browser made Google the king of search.

Why isn’t Microsoft jumpin’ in Adobe’s support?

30 April 2010

It’s murder what Steve Jobs is doing to flash. The problem, after Jobs’ hypocrisy and such is that he is right. Flash sucks a lot. That is why Microsoft, who holds about 95% of the computer market today isn’t saying anything. Because they know, too, that flash sucks for PCs even more than it sucks […]

20 December 2009

I don’t know about you, but i get longer and longer emails. People just love to fucking write and write and write. No sense about my time at all. I am writing a long email, look at me! I am using a lot of fucking words just to express a simple thing. I developed a […]

What are you reading about Romanian internet?

17 November 2009

When you disrupt dishonest businesses, you expect to read a lot of dirt about yourself. That includes that your traffic is not what you say it is, that you blackmail people, that you lie for a living. I am used to this, because i hear it every day, from different people. Bogdan Gavrila is such […]

Save journalism!

12 April 2009

This is a popular topic these days. Everybody seems to have an idea about it, except the newspaper managers. One I hear on a daily basis is “newspapers need to reinvent themselves”. No, they do not. They need to look at what they are not doing anymore, but used to do 2-3-5 years ago. Reporting. […]

little hill cabin

7 April 2009

Yesterday, while I was driving from Cluj to Debrecen, I spotted a little cabin, somehow resembling the one in the picture on the right, in a little hill village. Some windows, a little lawn, a big orchard in the back of the house. There was a banner on the cabin, saying “for rent/for sale”. I […]
