2009 Nov.16-17: BING -Google's New Competitor:
Tired of Google? Try Bing -it's Microsoft's new search engine and alternative to Google. Fully released in early June of 2009(a Gemini search engine) it's still in it's infancy and currently accounts for only about 10 percent of the search engine market, rivaling Yahoo. I've only just discovered it after doing a search for Google's new and overly simplistic browser which later fades back to normal(which I find annoying), and have only tried some of Bing's unique features -such as the picture and video searches(which I find new and refreshing). Also, my queries in general turn up more direct results and give me the option to expand on them. As I learn more about Bing, I'll expand on this article as well, so check out this new search engine(bing.com) while it's still fresh and relatively uncorrupted.

2009 Nov.10-11: Microsoft at a Crossroads:
If you're like the majority of home computer owners who are still using Windows XP service pack 2, and you want to upgrade, you must be wondering where to go to next? Window's Vista was a flop and now comes Windows 7 which was released on July 22 of 2009. Any better? While it's a little too soon to really tell early reports indicate it is definitely better than its predecessor. Most XP users will likely skip troubled Vista altogether and go right to Windows 7. Others will try a completely new operating system like Apple's Mac or Linux. Macs and Linux are more limited in terms of software, but are better in terms of graphics, multimedia, or system stability. Microsoft's Windows, on the other hand, which dominates some 90% of the market, is more flexible, but suffers from consistent virus or malware vulnerability. This is because computer security is big business and Microsoft accomodates this. Personally, I've gone through one too many system crashes based on this security compromise. If Microsoft and Windows plans to stay on top of the game it must seriously address and work out this issue, otherwise there will soon be mass migrations to other operating systems

2009 Nov.4: Bananas for Breakfast:
In late 2008 a new diet craze designed to lose weight swept Japan by storm. It was triggered by pharmacists Hitoshi Watanabe and wife Sumiko who released the information on various media networks and publications in November of that year. The diet was extremely simple yet effective: eat only some bananas for breakfast along with some lukewarm water and then eat regular for lunch and dinner. Also reduce sugar and dairy intake and don't eat anything after 8PM. Sumiko designed the diet for her husband Hitoshi who was overweight and lost 27 pounds on the diet. Before you know it, bananas went flying off the supermarket shelves ands a new craze was born. The diet seems to work and is still going strong, and besides being healthy it's very easy and quick to prepare so that you're off to work in no time. The funny thing is that I was on this diet myself before I even heard about it. Four medium-sized bananas in the morning seems to do it for me.

2009 Nov.1-3: The Swine Flu Scare:
Many have asked me what I think of the recent swine flu vaccination program. Long time readers know perfectly well what my position is -I am totally against any and all vaccinations. They compromise your immune system and can even be fatal. The idea of injecting foreign poisons into your body in order to kick up your immune system is both foolish and dangerous. It doesn' always work -especially if your immune system is already weak or compromised. Giving this flu vaccine to young chilren or pregnant women is abominable and unforgivable.
The current swine flu vaccination program is a repeat of the 1976 fiasco which was poorly organized and left many people dead or damaged. Science and government have failed us and continue to do so. For normal and healthy people H1N1 is a relatively mild and harmless virus. The flu shot itself, however, is much more virulent and dangerous and is the real crippler. The H1N1 vaccination campaign is nothing short of a scam and the people behind it stand to make bilions in profit. Perhaps the real purpose of most vaccines is for scientific testing and use in biological warfare and/or as a means of population reduction.
When will people learn that the best prevention for any disease is a clean and healthy environment, a natural diet, and an ethical lifestyle. Your body's natural immune system is your best and only real defense against any kind of disease -so keep it healthy.

2009 Nov.1: Saturn Moves Into Libra
On Oct 30th at 1:09 PM EST big old Saturn left earthy Virgo and moved into airy Libra. Saturn's been testing all of the Earth signs for over the past two years, especially solar Virgo's. Some have come out better for it while others have suffered the consequences of their own folly. With Saturn there are no short cuts -you get what you deserve. Saturn in Virgo has also made us more aware of diet and health issues and the importance of a clean, orderly, and healthy environment. More people are better educated now on what it takes to stay healthy and productive.
The great Teacher and Disciplinarian is now focused on the Air signs, especially Libra. Saturn is said to be exalted in Libra meaning it is an especially strong or favorable position there. True ior not, Saturn here will put its heavy hand on the way we relate to one another and social issues in general. It will separate the wheat from the chaff so that any weak or negative relationships or partnerships will fall apart or be discarded, whether it's friendship, marriage, business, or other. The courts and justice systems will also be more vigilant. Our senses of beauty, harmony, and balance will also become more refined or discriminating -so keep everything nice looking!
