My Statement

"Let me emphatically say that I am not anti-Facebook (Fleecebook), anti-smart phone, anti-Microsoft, anti-Apple, anti-Google or anti-Internet. I do believe, though, that the consumer is being ripped off of his privacy, identity and purchase history. We are being herded into a Facebook corner where what we "Like" and where we go physically and on the net will be scrutinized and sold numerous times to actually corrode and erode our culture while tempting us only with convenience, high tech and flashing video screens. The unsuspecting consumers need to be aware..." - Gary Lapman

Halloween Warning!

More on the dying of the Microsoft brand:  Now Microsoft thinks that their future is in the clouds(Windows Azure).  This is a short-sited paradigm shift that forged what IBM is today.  They have lost innovation and are becoming a me-too.  They still make money, but the company and brand is not what it was.  The personal computer almost killed IBM.  I think that the transitional paradigms of today will do the same (if it already hasn't) to Microsoft.

Well, the Vette went back on sale today.  Having previously dealt with at least one rude jerk and an error-prone tech-weenie; I wonder what is in store next.
