Facebook and time saving ...

So, there is the controversy with the facebook license and privacy model. Facebook changing their privacy setting, sharing things they said and agreed to be private... That kind of sucks...
But the most good thing about dropping from facebook is the time you save, and the increase in productivity you get .

Facebook is like a little candy, you like it, it seems sweet and let you get a stream of information from the people you car, in the mean time, it triggers adult attention disorder on who ever get to it, it interrupt your thinking with emails, pop up and few other addictive gadgets.

The 60's generation went to the moon, are we going to be the generation of instant consumption, and no big human kind step ... We seem toward this.

Only the computer science industry is pushing hard for innovation, the medical industry seem like a snail compare to it, the space industry is going nowhere...

We need to change the lobbying system, it is design to maximize profite, it is not design to help human kind step forward.

Home renovation ...

So, I am in vacation, slaving myself to renovate my house ... Tomorrow, I am going to remove a non barring wall. I did replace all the windows in the house, to the code ... Few thousand dollars well invested ...
I am adding 2 velux with home automation, those can open controlled by the air conditioning, to flush the hot air from the top of the room, by convection , this is expected to save 20% on the heat pump load ... Long term investment is awesome on those babies!

More update tomorrow!

Intel best skill

I have been working for intel for more than 13 years, and one of the remarkable skill of this company is to be able to learn from it's mistake, and get out of those situation as a formidable competitor ... Remember the Pentium 4 time frame, while the world was thinking intel was in trouble, it was designing a formidable processor: Conroe and Merom!

Now, if you think that lrb was a waste, think again ... Gfx is now understood!

Tick tock ... Tick tock ... Tick rocks!

Stay tuned

At the car wash

Got to meet Lino, the happy owner of a Ferrari 430. Nice man, hope to keep un touch!

Drag Race: 2012 Lexus LFA vs 2010 Nissan GT-R

The LFA only can win something that is not legal on the road :)

the 0-60 is still won by the GTR ... the LFA is an amazing piece of tech ... too bad they did not add 4 wheels drive ... I love the of the LFA, I got to say, it sounds almost like a F1 ...

Bugatti Veyron vs Nissan GT-R R35

This is the best proof that the Bugatti Veyron (France) is fastest than the Franco-Nippon Nissan GTR ...

16 cylinders with 4 turbos does it right ... too bad I can t afford this.

Left face book

I think Facebook policies are not acceptable and they try very hard to hold back your information
