30 Years of Apple Products.
0 Comments Published by ThinkaGeek on Thursday, March 30, 2006 at Thursday, March 30, 2006.In a garage in Los Altos, California, in 1976, two young college dropouts and some friends assembled and soldered 500 motherboards by hand to be sold by a local hobbyist electronics shop. Thirty years later, Steve Jobs' and Steve Wozniak's Apple Computer has produced hundreds of computer models, and introduced to the world a string of groundbreaking products, from the first PDA to the iPod. This monster gallery of Apple's computers features most of the major products from the last three decades, and is adapted from the vast library at Apple-History.com. The most notable exception is the Performa line, which were often less-expensive, re-branded siblings of other machines .

Over 300,000 baby seals will be clubbed or shot to death mercilessly during Canada's seal hunt this year; many will be skinned alive.
0 Comments Published by ThinkaGeek on Monday, March 27, 2006 at Monday, March 27, 2006.Canadian government officials insist that the seal hunt is a vital part of Canada's economy, yet in reality, the hunt accounts for less than one percent of Newfoundland’s GDP and an average of just $1,000 per sealer per year. Significant amounts of money are actually spent by Canada's government to promote the hunt and to develop new markets for seal products abroad.
When Danny Williams, Premier of Labrador and Newfoundland, was asked about the seal hunt during a recent episode of "Larry King Live" on CNN, he chose to make false statements about the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), claiming to speak on behalf of Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
WHAT HE SAID: "IFAW representatives, veterinarians and other experts have said the seal hunt is humane." FACT: There isn’t a single reputable "expert" or "veterinary group" that has observed the seal hunt and called it humane.
WHAT HE SAID: "Veterinarians hired by the World Wildlife Fund said the seal hunt is conducted in a humane way." FACT: The report produced by these same veterinarians puts forward no fewer than eleven recommendations to make the seal hunt humane.
The public deserves a commitment to honesty and respect for the real facts about how baby seals are being killed during this hunt. Join IFAW and activists from around the world in urging Canada’s Prime Minister to tell the truth about what’s happening on the ice.

Post Blue Lyrics

It’s in the water baby, it’s in the pills that bring you down
It’s in the water baby, it’s in your bag of golden brown
It’s in the water baby, it’s in your frequency
It’s in the water baby, it’s between you and me
It’s in the water baby, it’s in the pills that pick you up
It’s in the water baby, it’s in the special way we fuck
It’s in the water baby, it’s in your family tree
It’s in the water baby, it’s between you and me
Bite the hand that feeds
Tap the vein that bleeds
Down on my bended knees
I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you
It’s in the water baby, it’s in the pills that bring you down

It’s in the water baby, it’s between you and me
Bite the hand that feeds
Tap the vein that bleeds
Down on my bended knees
I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you

I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you

Brokeback Mountain And Athens voice :)

I was laughing today all the way to work when i read this post on Athens voice . Iam in love with Myrto :) sorry its in greek version and the whole article you will be able to check it here :
Γεια σου Mυρτώ! Έχει τύχει ποτέ να διαβάσεις βιβλίο ή να δεις ταινία και να νιώσεις ότι περιγράφει τη ζωή σου;! Mου συνέβη πρόσφατα με το Brokeback mountain... Πρώτα διάβασα το βιβλίο κι έπαθα σοκ, διότι είναι ό,τι ζω τα τελευταία χρόνια με τρομερές ομοιότητες! Mετά ήρθε η ταινία κι έπεσε σαν μετεωρίτης στη «βολεμένη» ζωή που ζω με το φίλο μου. Kρυμμένη κατά καιρούς πίσω από ετεροφυλόφιλες σχέσεις, ενώ κάνουμε σαν τρελοί να βρούμε μισή μέρα, τώρα πια ώρα, με τόσες υποχρεώσεις που έχουμε, για τους δυο μας! Tις πρώτες μέρες μετά την ταινία έκλαιγα πολύ. Tώρα όσο περνά ο καιρός συνέρχομαι και σκέφτομαι. Σκέφτομαι πόσο και τι μπορώ ν' αλλάξω, διότι δεν θέλω μια μέρα να βρεθώ να κοιτάζω μια κρεμάστρα με 2 πουκάμισα και να χτυπώ το κεφάλι μου γι' αυτά που θα μπορούσα να 'χα ζήσει αλλιώς. Tελικά όντως όσα δεν φέρνει ο χρόνος, τα φέρνει η στιγμή (ή 2 ώρες σε κιν/κή αίθουσα)!
Pε τι πάθαμε μ' αυτή τη σκατοταινία! Mου φαίνεται πως το Σ/K θα βγω με τις φίλες μου εξόρμηση στα σινεμά κραδαίνοντας πανό διαμαρτυρίας, όπως έκαναν τότε οι θεούσοι με τον «Tελευταίο Πειρασμό».
Y.Γ.1 Eυτυχώς που αυτό τον καιρό μερικοί στρέιτ πήζουν στη δουλειά και δεν παίρνουν χαμπάρι το μακελειό.
Y.Γ.2 Kαλά να πάθει που το Crash του άρπαξε τα βραβεία μέσα απ' τα χέρια. Xο χο.
A real Satellite ....

0 Comments Published by ThinkaGeek on at Thursday, March 16, 2006.Εύκολα αντιλαµβάνεται κάποιος ότι ή κατάσταση είναι πολύ πιο σύνθετη από το δίληµµα «ελευθερία του λόγου ή σεβασµός στις διαφορετικές πεποιθήσεις». Στη φιλελεύθερη κοινωνία τα δικαιώµατα και οι υποχρεώσεις βρίσκονται πάντα σε ένταση και πρέπει να διατηρούνται σε κάποια ισορροπία: για παράδειγµα µεταξύ δύο γειτόνων πρέπει να υπάρχει µια συναίνεση που να κατοχυρώνει και το δικαίωµα να κάνεις πάρτι και την υποχρέωση να σέβεσαι την κοινή ησυχία. Όταν όµως ο ένας έχει καταλάβει την αποθήκη του άλλου, σχετικές συζητήσεις περί δικαιωµάτων και υποχρεώσεων είναι προφάσεις για να διατηρείται η ένταση.
Το να προσπαθείς λοιπόν να επιλύσεις σύνθετες καταστάσεις µε απλά διλήµµατα είναι ο καλύτερος τρόπος να χαθεί η κριτική σκέψη από την κουβέντα: ο καθένας καταλήγει να τοποθετείται ανάλογα µε το τι απεχθάνεται ή φοβάται περισσότερο, τις θρησκευτικές προκαταλήψεις, το διαφωτισµό, την τροµοκρατία, το δυτικό ιµπεριαλισµό, τους µετανάστες, την ξενοφοβία και πάει λέγοντας.

Well i could not resist to publish the lyrics of one of my favourite tracks ever .And we are talking of course Depeche mode's Photographic. My beloved Blog friend Sadie with her beatiful blog made me put the cd once again in my LG.
Photographic
A white house, a white room
The program of today
Light`s on, switch on
Your eyes are far away
The map represents you
And the tape is your voice
Follow all along you
Till yourecognize the choice
I take pictures, photographic pictures
Bright light, dark room
I said I`d write a letter
But I never got the time
And I`m looking to the day
I mesmerize at night
The years I spent just thinking
Of a moment we both knew
A second past like in empty room
It seems it can`t be true
Bright light, dark room
How to kill a fly without a flyswatter

I have seen all my friends down there . Say hello to all ppl down there (STk,Zoi,Kostis,Rinio,Kiriakos and etc). Heraklio is not the best place to live but walking with Kostis is always positive. we have labelled the city as the paradise of mainstream lovers. I think the favourite colour of those guys down there; is pink . Well its not the best eye view to have pink everywhere even on lights over the towers of the city .
Actually I have not laugh so much the last few months. We have been drinking , eating all day and night. I have been to several places and of course to my favourite spot Saint Titos Square. I have pictures from the city of Heraklio, which I will try to publish soon. Stay tuned.
Ps the picture is one of my favourites .... from Acropolis :)
