Is technology really making our lives easier? I though so but Barclays Bank proved me wrong.

Cybersquating mistake or curiosity

And guess what, Microsoft has dropped DAV support for your email, now the offer POP3, which is a step backwards, at least they should have build IMAP support!!!!

But I guess is what they call innovation, like Zune, like Windows, like... well... everything.

Let's see...

...something is clearly wrong here and i wonder where my son will study.

Seems fair to say I am making a joke but feel happy about it, seems a decent use of resources not to use them.

A PR stunt? considering this I am skeptical

And of course I must ask, would someone bothered with climate and energy plan a data center on the sea? the answer is no.

And what about this huge trend on calling anyone engineer? sorry my friends but there are very few engineering tittles that really deserve it... which takes me to a bigger realization on the world we live in which education is watered down, titles becomes useless given the skills of the graduates and the worst of all, having to be politically correct.

I keep going back to my background as software developer and I can't but see all the faults on the design of solutions like this morning on the underground where all the screens were blue (Windows) and no train information was available, clearly a problem of Q&A but hey, we live in a world of rapid prototyping rather than software engineering don't we?

It will be expensive in the long run, that is for sure.

Seems to me all the effort we put in our website, setting up Google Analytics and the lot... well... is just amazing yet nobody comes to visit us but then again, it is normal in this ocean of website isn´t it?

Good luck to all of you who understand me.

If there is something at stake in this world of internet is our privacy, which seems 99% of the population has not understood yet but hey... we will have to learn the hard way.
