I hate it when history books leave things unfinished

22 February 2015

I am reading “The Life of the Automobile”, because the last time I read something like that I was 16 and I feel I do not know enough about this topic. So I order the book and start reading. I read up to the point when Adolf Hitler orders Ferdinand Porsche to build the Beetle […]

Sony Vaio – feed them to the lions

6 February 2014

So Sony is selling its Vaio division to some investment fund, because it’s loosing so much money and Sony wants to cut costs. Vaio is a good line of laptops, too bad it is so bad. What I would do is instate a bonus system for people working at Vaio: if you come up with […]

Microsoft Windows in 2014

2 February 2014

Got really bored and decided to reinstall my Windows7 on my HP Probook notebook. Fairly an easy operation, half an hour to install Windows, half an hour to install all other software and tweak it the way I like it. And while doing it I realized Windows is a piece of crap OS. It really […]

DSLR camera market at a stop – and the tech sites….

4 November 2013

First, two quotes from an article by Kirk Tuck: The vast majority of buyers of all cameras, DSLR’s, mirror less, high end compacts, etc. were hobbyists  and amateur photographers who, after years of pursuing some sort of competence in the craft have come to the conclusion that the whole art genre of photography is somewhat […]

Dragos Roua is a digial nomad!

13 May 2013

Laughed so hard on his interview with a local newspaper’s site on how he was so smart on selling and needing new challenges and now he inspires other people. The truth: he sold his business because it was losing money and he was not capable to take it further than good domain names took it. […]

Every generation has something

7 April 2013

The 30s generation had the Great Depression. The 40s had the Second World War. The 50s had to rebuild. The 60s had Freedom and War. The 70s had Rock and Roll. The 80s had Disco and cocaine. The 90s and the 2000s had nothing. And grunge. We have smartphones.

CES lost his mojo

11 January 2013

I watch CES news like everybody else. Not so much to report, really. A lot of big tvs, a lot of stupid photo cameras, a lot of hd camcorders. Nikon D5100 is a good example of what the tech world has become by using a Toshiba sensor. Other camera manufacturers use Sony sensors. Even Apple […]

why are the people rebelling?

29 January 2011

For a few days now Egypt has had a revolution going. People took the street to protest against the government and the president, who has been in that chair since 1981. Basically, we have the beginning of a world hunger crisis. The people would be happy to have food and would not care if the […]

Dragoş Roua’s personal brand

6 December 2010

So, there is this Romanian guy, Dragos Roua, who talks a lot about success and entrepreneurship and leading a better life. You know the kind, he is not an expert in any field, but he is riding the “write bullshit about being better” blog train that gullible people read and find useful. Dragos Roua used […]

those young bloggers he was talking about…

30 December 2009

Bogdan Gavrila, well known stain on Romanian internet, had a problem a few months ago. While he was the dark force behind the World Blogging Forum, none of the respected bloggers from his native country gave him and WBF any love. Some of them questioned the line up, which was inexistent at the time of […]
