Not really a blog

Just read this on the irc channel #netbsd on freenode. Found it funny :)

In a perfect world… spammers would get caught, go to jail, and share a cell with many men who have enlarged their penisses, taken Viagra and are looking for a new relationship.

Wouldn’t it be nice? Yessss

So, Google is preparing another web application for all of us to enjoy. A web calendar to keep track of all the things you could put on your calendar, like iCal or simmilar. It looks like it’s going to be possible to sync them from your favourite calendar desktop application.

There are some good screenshots of this Google Calendar here. The cuestion is, if google is owning your email, being the internet search master, and deploying a bunch of other interesting services (Google Talk and Google maps among others)… Isn’t having all this information about you too much? I mean, someday we might end up eating some google snack which would put some RFID or GPS controlled chip inside our body and then, gradually, all of us would be under google control ;-) …

Sounds scary, but I am looking forward to testing this new application, hehehe

The other day I came to this nice ad. On how to get protection ;)
Quite funny, actually

Seen here. They even point you to another protection ad. Some people might consider this to be hard spam.

Don’t you think?
