“Different methods of communication and of identifying users on communication networks will become irrelevant. I use many different methods of electronic communication, including a home phone, a mobile phone, e-mail, instant messaging, video conferencing, online forums and social networking sites and so on. Why should I have to distinguish between these forms of communication and they way they identify their users – why should I have to have an e-mail address, several phone numbers, several usernames of different services – why can users not just have a single user name or number which can be used to reach them however you like? Why should I have to use multiple devices such as a home phone, a cell phone, a computer and a laptop to communicate – why not have one device that can utilise all methods of communication but that comes in many different shapes and sizes – something desk-sized like a computer, something portable and then something pocket-sized. We need to take the focus out of the “how” and turn it more to the “who” and “what” of communications.”

I don't want to spend $75 on an iPod dock out there... and I only need USB connectivity to sync and charge. So who cares about spending money on a dock, when you only need cardboard?
Materials:
- Cardboard from a cardboard box
- Some tape
- Your iPod dock connector adapter (usually supplied with many iPods out there)
- Your iPod USB 30-pin dock connector
I'm not for aesthetics - only for practicability, not that beautiful Apple products should come with good looking accessories.

I have been watching this a few times as so much of it makes scene. I like how he displays a learning system, that with time/more samples it get better. I found this inspiring in regards to some concepts I have been learning, regarding the design of expert systems for (tag cloud)/categorisation development of forums.
Read MoreThere are subtle changes around the world all the time, some of them more obvious than others,
As many suspect, some know and some redicule,
These changes are effected by the annoymous controllers of the world, the ones who cause wars for financial gain, those who control the world economies, those who ensure the greater populace is kept in the dark from knowing the real story, and keep us from interacting with our friendly Aliens from neighbouring systems.
Some say they are really members of the ruling lizard Army,
others swear its the illuminati, perhaps its the government, or those with the black helicopters and red sports shoes.
I cannot say for sure who these anonymous fellows are, but I do know one thing for sure. they are at it again.
this time with the humble Match. the unobtrusive supplier of fire, lighter of ciggarettes, cigars, candles and incense sticks,
How many Matches in a standard box of Beehive "Safety Matches"???
I bet many of you will state "50" and in the better, more positive days of old, when the future was bright and mankind controlled its future you would have been correct.
I your intrepid investigator, went deep in the depths of the conspiracy, risked life and limb and discovered an earth-shattering revelation, something that could rock your perception of reality to the core.
be prepared for this. it is a shocking, terrible revelation.
THERE. IS. NOW. ONLY. FORTY FIVE matches in a box of "behive safety matches"
Surely this is the beginning of the end, the controllers, those secretive evil overloads are plotting to de-evolve the human race,
sure you say, it could be a cost cutting measure, who really uses all 50 matches in a box of matches, BUT NO!
At the same time this sinister ploy was rolled out, the cost for a humble box of matches rose by 10 cents!
Again! I hear you say, surely this could be coincidental, the cost of everything is rising due to the cost of fuel for transportation, and this surely will effect matches too.
WRONG AGAIN!!! Pull the wool away from your eyes! that is exactly the sort of thinking they want! they want you to believe it is a result of a highly complicated series of economical factors locally and abroad causing the costs of manufacturing to increase.
AHA! I hear a few of you say, you think you are smarter than that, you think that you have seen through this, you think,
This is a straightforward capitalist move, in which they are covering increased costs while increasing margins by dropping the number of items per unit by 10% meaning they can produce 11 units for at a cost only slightly higher (the cost of the extra box) than the cost they previously had for 10 units.
Ah my poor, naive populace, oh how I envy your blissfull sleep wrapped in your dillusioned reality.
This is only the start of the plan, these "Men X" have a sinister plan to de-evolve the human race into cavemen level humanoids.
You see. we have grown too much. we have too much of the Internet, at first they thought "Aha this internet. it is the new Television, in which we can place many time-taking activities, more intellectual soylent green, we can use this to gradually increase the depth of the reality disfunction"
-But Alas for them and fortunately for us! we have moved past.
whilst many get trapped, and sucked into the mass mind control vortices that have been created, projects with codenames so terrible I cannot mention, but which were re-branded into friendly sounding names until you realise the ominous portents of what these names portray.
these mass mind control vortices such as "MY SPACE" a secret covert program derived from
Mind Yoke, Situation Programming And Control, and another similar covert black op "FACE BOOK" a name that fills me with such ominous dread I dare not delve far for fear of causing horrors such as were envisioned by HP Lovecraft, but let it be said it was a covert operation linked to Fully Assimilated Control Environments..
But these vortices were still not enough. they had to push further least we discover the truth.
and that is where the diabolic plan to de-evolve the human race has sprung.
it starts of small. they reduce the number of matches in a box by 5 and increase the cost by 10c.
that looks innocent enough on the purpose, but if you look further you are getting 10% less, for 20% more cost,
That is only the beginning. soon they will perform this step again, and gradually spread it out to other devices in which to make fire, gradually decreasing the resources and increasing the cost for us to create fire to such an extent that we no longer have the facility for fire,
One may point out that "what about friction - rubbing two sticks together" - this is one of the reasons their plan is soo diabolically cunning.
Citys were created for just this purpose. to eradic the availability of "sticks" and make us wholly dependand on store bought combustion created materials.
Soon we will be stuck wilth very few sources for ignition, and fewer for burning and keeping those fires lit.
"Environmental Sustainability" = "systematically remove mans capacity to make and keep fire"
if we do not prepare ourselves. we will become what the goal of their master plan is, a sub-human race of cavemen like bipeds the perfect slaves t operate their intersteller fastfood chains and cleaning resteraunts whilst they put their hyper intelligent robots to valuable tasks such as enabling awkward teen overlords to score with the hot overlord teen chicks who know about cars, by changing into a car with a cool engine then becoming a futuristic robot that deathmatches other robots before amusing crowds with puns involving Ebay.
Read MoreSo you complain about Windows Vista but actually never used it? Maybe what you need is Microsoft Windows Mojave.
In summary, a set of people were asked what they think is bad on Windows Vista. Their answers were recorded. They were then shown "Microsoft Windows Mojave".
One of the subjects in the study even said "Wow", the word Microsoft used in the "The wow starts now" campaign for Windows Vista.
Microsoft then revealed "Windows Mojave" and "Windows Vista" are the same one.
I know a lot of Linux and Mac OS X users who bash Windows Vista without ever having touch a computer running the OS. How can they "know" so much? Or perhaps they don't.
Isn't this a big perception problem?
All the details here.
UPDATE: The Mojave Experiment results are coming on-line!
Read MoreWe all know the Vodafone iPhone is not SIM or network locked. You can purchase the handset outright, paying full price and just use it with a prepay SIM card or any other network's SIM card.
We also know that because of its current APN configuration it will only have voice and SMS on prepay. The current APN configured in the iPhone is not "visible" to prepay accounts.
But there's a very legal way around this. You can change the configuration on your iPhone by visiting UnlockIt - APN changer for iPhone.
The author LennonNZ has posted some UnlockIt statistics in our forums.
So many people benefited from it, and so little was paid back. I recommend you make a donation if you use the site to "unlock" your Vodafone iPhone.
Read MoreIs it a rose that opens in the morning light?
A new leaf upon each twig, that grew from humble beginnings?
The branch that broke will turn into the scar for life.The scar of emotion runs deep within us all, this injures everyone slowly but surely. Until the only way out of your own emotion turns to destruction. Destruction turns to chaos. Chaos turns to the way the world is operating at present with only a small amount of reason and intelligent thought.
Don’t believe everything that you see,
Because seeing isn’t believing,
Feeling is.
If I was to die today,
Would I be remembered tomorrow?
Would life go on without me?
Or does someone else’s existence end with mine?
If truth is letting people know the details of something real,
Does that mean reality is a truth only known to you?
Or is truth and reality far more complicated than that?
You could believe anything that someone tells you,
Or decide to think they are lying.
Either way your own decision is what you choose to believe.
Which in turn makes reality your own creation of thoughts comprised of facts given by not only yourself, but other people as well. How these facts are interpreted depends on the translator. You!
If something is too difficult, would you try your best to solve it, or simply give in and let someone else figure it out.
Thought, emotion, truth, justice, wisdom, creation, intellect, visualisation, hands on experience.
Does everything come down to what the individual is capable of, or rather what the individual is willing to accomplish.
You have to experience happiness to know sadness. You have to experience love to know hate. If there is one thing that lives alone in this world, without needing to relate to another. Show me this thing, for it will be a beautiful thing indeed.
To fly is to fall,
To swim is to run,
To walk is to crawl,
To speak is to be silent,
To create is to imitate,
To build is to destroy,
To make peace is to make war!
Everything exists for a reason, and there is always balance. When there is too much of one thing there has to be an equal amount of the other to compensate for the balance lost with the first.
Begin your day with birds in mind,
Never let the dawn show its face,
You will crawl upon any road given to you,
And you will find the path that suits you.
Am I going insane or is it just a figment of my imagination. If I was going insane, would I be trying to figure it out, or would I just ignore it and let things happen as they do. Because when thoughts take over my life, I feel responsible for all the thoughts that are approaching my life.
Never get too involved.
Never hold a grudge.
Never begin something if you do not intend to finish it.
Read MoreA lot of things are happening at Vodafone on this very special day:
- Prepay customers will start being charged a dollar per call to customer services when a Customer Service Representative is required
- Prepay customers will no longer be able to switch to the classic prepay plans
- ihug Limited will soon no longer exist and will completely be part of Vodafone New Zealand Limited.
It's not surprising that ihug will soon be completely part of Vodafone (rather than the current rebranding) as this fully makes their fixed line products to become part of Vodafone, and reduce confusion.
Things to note:
- Phone numbers won't change
Here are the numbers, just for reference:
Residential: 0800 438 448
Business: 0800 438 458
Red network: 0800 800 215 <- they finally release this!
- Billing is still separate, but pay Vodafone New Zealand Limited directly
Currently, we get a statement which needs to be paid to ihug Ltd, even though it's completely branded Vodafone
