Microsoft announced the new Xbox console as Xbox One.  I think Xbox One will definitely be a worthy adversary to PS4.  Now, after seeing some details of Xbox One, I can’t wait to see what PS4 will bring to the game.  Xbox One and Ps4 will definitely give more life to the console market.  How come?  What people forget is that consoles, although have became the computers, are not providing the experience that the computers are providing.  How come?  Consoles are cheaper than most computers, and they are there to provide a complete experience; unique experience that comes in a single package.  Computers can do the same, but computers are more expensive.  Computers give more freedom to users when it comes down to choose what sort experience the users want to have, but it does require the users to think for themselves.  For an example, users can use computers for entertainment and work, or they can combine all experiences into one, but these customization of experiences require users to make choices and sometimes build the machines themselves.  Console on the other hand is uniquely made to provide a unique experience.  This is why I think people will go on to show support for consoles even though the line between consoles and computers is getting more blur each day.  Anyhow, check out the Xbox One in details by watching the playlist of the Xbox One videos right after the break.  Enjoy!!!

Speechless

Posted by on in Anything Goes

This poem depicts the feeling that I had when I got to read the grueling content therein of “THAILAND: Muslims in the South are slaughtering Buddhists in order to ethnically cleanse the area (WARNING: Graphic Images)” blog post.  I condemn (although I’m a nobody) all violences!!!  I don’t see how any violence would solve anything, because violences in general only breeds more violences.  Of course, the argument goes that if one side would do enough terrors, more so than the other side, then the other side will give up in terror.  I doubt that will be the case if the other side doesn’t have a choice in defending themselves.  Plus, violence such as killing is so uncivilized, and here I thought we humans are better than this.  Aren’t we nowadays have easier access to education than centuries ago?  Aren’t we humans know what peace mean?  If peace mean peace, why on earth peace has to let violence leads the way?  Sure, you can say violence first, peace after, but I refute such a thought.  To me, violence first means hatred can be spread farther…  there is no guaranty that violence first can solve anything.  Nonetheless, if all sides use peace first, only peace can derive from peace.  It is almost, if not 100%, a guaranty that peace will always derive from peace.  I think killing is the worst of the worst that there is for being human.  Killing will never be justified for anything.  If a God wants someone to kill another human being, he/she doesn’t deserve to be my God!  Period!!!  Us humans face tough life from the day we born, certainly we don’t really need violence to be the additional bit to the tough life equation.  Survival of day to day life is already so tough, because not everyone is lucky to be born into a wealthy family or meeting the best opportunity in life.  Most likely, many people will be sweating their ass off just to make ends meet.  The unfortunates might have to face terminal diseases.  Yet here we have senseless killing in the name of God.  It’s just plain wrong!  Isn’t a spiritual belief supposed to be peaceful?  I think I should rephrase that!  Aren’t all spiritual beliefs supposed to be peaceful?  Anyhow, if you like, please enjoy the poem right after the break!

  • Rumor had it,
  • or the truth had it,
  • whatever had it.
  • Nonetheless, I had read it.
  • Got disgusted!
  • I cringed at it!
  • Feeling ill just to picture it!
  • Got disgusted!
  • I cringed at it!
  • Such sadistic!
  • Got disgusted!
  • Idiotic!
  • Only animals would do it!
  • Got disgusted!
  • Speechless!!!
  • Not a single word can define it.
  • Sadistic!
  • Animalistic!
  • And yet I just know about it.
  • Shaking my fist at this animalistic shit!
  • Idiots!
  • Got disgusted!
  • Only animals would do it.
  • I got mad as hell at this animalistic shit!
  • Nonetheless, one thinks of it,
  • what goes around comes around, isn’t it?

China To Build Straddling Buses? Freeing Up Traffic And Providing Self-Efficient Green Energy Public Transportation System?

China is trying to work on the straddling bus concept.  If my knowledge isn’t too little and too old about this concept, then I’m not wrong about that China is still working on this concept and has yet to actually go ahead and make this concept a reality.  Nonetheless, the video which I will link/embed at the end of this blog post sounds as if China will eventually have straddling bus system in place in the next few years if not less time than that.  Personally, I want to see China successfully transforms this straddling bus concept into a reality.  If straddling buses work miracle in China, the rest of the world will follow suit to have build a better traffic system.  It definitely will improve traffic condition for everyone in the world.

What is straddling bus concept?  Well, if you watch the video that I’m going to link/embed at the end of this blog post, it explains way better than I will ever be able to at the moment.  I’m still not knowing enough about straddling bus concept really.  Nonetheless, it seems that the straddling bus concept might use some sort of green self-charged energy system which will produce zero greenhouse gas effect, consequently it will be a very energy efficient public transportation system for humans.  While behaving as a public transportation for humans, straddling bus concept provides zero obstacle to the normal traffic since straddling bus doesn’t have to be the object which blocks the normal traffic; straddling bus will just move/glide over the normal traffic.

The video after the break explains that straddling bus doesn’t even have to need its own parking space since it can just park anywhere without really disturbing the normal traffic.  Basically, straddling bus can just stop at mid-traffic and yet won’t cause a traffic jam at all.  Of course, if there is another straddling bus that is behind the first one, then the first straddling bus which parked at mid-traffic will be an obstacle for the second one.  Nonetheless, I wonder will straddling bus be able to just switch lane?  At the moment, I don’t think straddling bus can do such a thing unless I’m totally wrong.  Anyhow, I think straddling bus concept is very interesting, and it might be very cool for us to ride on.  Check out the video right after the break to see what the fuss is about a straddling bus concept.

Too Late Is Too Late

Fixing up an old poetry I wrote in 2010.  I thought it was poorly written, therefore I kept it out of public for a long time.  Now I read it again, and wow it does sound not too bad.  Anyhow, I don’t want to keep this poetry in private anymore, and here it is.  Hopefully, I had fixed it enough that it is no longer that bad.  Nonetheless, whether it’s poorly written or not, please enjoy it!!!

  • Why do humans love cruelties so much?
  • So much, very much so
  • that one can always call upon
  • the ghosts of the pasts
  • and ask
  • about the terrible things
  • they once had witnessed
  • in times
  • about the terrible things
  • they once partook
  • in times
  • about the terrible things
  • they rather whispered
  • in times
  • about the terrible things
  • they thought God wept
  • in times
  • about the terrible things
  • one rather bit own tongue
  • in times
  • about the terrible things
  • one dug a hole to hide one’s head
  • in times
  • about the terrible things
  • evil ruled the world
  • in times
  • about the terrible things
  • angels rather wept
  • in times
  • about the terrible things
  • wrong seemed right
  • in times
  • about the terrible things
  • no soul knew good deeds
  • in times
  • about the terrible things
  • simplest matters seemed impossible
  • in times.
  • Yes, yet a nose from he
  • or she or me
  • had ever yet to grow
  • longer than a usual nose
  • unlike he who called himself
  • I am Pinocchio
  • who was a creation of pine
  • who wanted to be a real boy.
  • Yes, although a man over there
  • looked like a golden bar
  • and a woman over here
  • looked like a yummy chocolate
  • and a child over there
  • resembled red soil
  • and a senile over here
  • had been as white as snow
  • but everyone of them
  • had bled with red water
  • that polluted the stream
  • of past histories.
  • One could pour a bucket
  • full of ink over this
  • in black or red or whatever
  • words could form as if magic
  • needed nobody to form them
  • by the will of God’s words
  • had formed themselves.
  • Wasn’t that one agreed
  • of the first word’s origin
  • how it came about
  • and how it lingered
  • in the air or
  • in the tongue
  • of a first word bender
  • which told the tale
  • of the first humans
  • if not one but two
  • had come together
  • as one to form
  • a flock of what is now
  • in billions
  • and yet the flock
  • seems to lose sight
  • of what weighs more
  • than gold
  • to let cruelties
  • rule the world,
  • the world of the flock
  • the flock of the world
  • shall meet the end
  • if not careful
  • and be constructive
  • as destructive force
  • the flock has came to love
  • runs amok among the flock,
  • then the flock is no more
  • no longer shall or but
  • and is only that the flock
  • is no longer in existence
  • and shall too
  • all cruelties of the world
  • obliterating into nothingness.
  • It is too late as now
  • for the flock to turn
  • the tide of time
  • to change what cruelties
  • into love once bounded the flock
  • in the very beginning
  • when word first spoke
  • on a first father
  • and a first mother
  • true parents of all humankind.
  • Too late is too late.

Breaking Away Into Nothingness

Posted by on in Anything Goes

A poem of which I had written in 2010.  I thought it was so bad that I abstained from having another look at it.  Now when I read it, somehow it does sound rather dazzling.  Want to read it?  Have a go and enjoy!!!

  • Once fluttered within the wind
  • The breeze cooled its skin
  • Sending out its scent
  • Sprinkling a lovely smell
  • Over the open landscape
  • Death chill had ascended
  • Fluttering within memory
  • Where was the scent?
  • Breaking away into nothingness
  • Flowing down the stream
  • Forbidden hopes mattered most
  • Even forbidden hopes
  • Fluttering within the wind
  • Fluttering within the memory
  • Was this truly this?
