Not really a fan of politics but I am astonished by the number of former front runners and hopefuls that have dropped out after only a handful of primaries. So will it be Clinton vs. John McCain? It surely seems like it today.

Imagine you are having a great day. You have gotten your life back together. You have straightened out your financial situation, and bam it happens. A wrecked satellite hits your house or your car. That could certainly happen according to NASA. A disabled satellite is approaching earth now, and it can hit anywhere at this point. So if you are an insurance company, you can maybe start a satellite protection insurance program. Of course, if you are a consumer, you can just hope and pray that the thing doesn’t hit your property. I am sure the threat is not huge, but still it’s fun to work the possibilities.

If you haven’t heard of Amazon Kindle, it’s the hottest gadget out there, and it is one gadget that tries to make you smarter rather than lending you a hand like a GPS would do. Kindle is the ultimate e-book reader, and with its wireless connection, you always have access to books and wikipedia at all times. It’s a great innovative gadget, and many have called it a huge step forward for the eBook industry.

The Kindle using electronic paper display that makes it easy on the eye. Besides, you can change font size and resolution (which unfortunately can’t be done with a simple physical book). Best of all, you don’t really need a computer or syncing nor you need to have any kind of cable or anything of that sort. You can buy books online from Amazon’s wireless book store, and they will be available in less than one minute! You can get magazine subscriptions and even blogs on this device, which makes it absolutely a necessity for avid book/magazine readers. There are just so many good things about this device and you can find out more about it at Amazon.

Now the bad part: a lot of people wanted to get this device, and it turned out Amazon did not have enough for everyone. As such many, including yours truly, had to wait a while to get their hands on Kindle. But the good news is that the lead time is now getting closer to 30 days whereas a couple weeks back, it was 45 days. This means that Amazon will be producing Kindle and have it in your hands sooner than later. But if you really want to get this thing, don’t wait! That’s what I did, and as a result had to wait quite a while to get my Kindle!

P.S. feel free to share your Amazon Kindle story if you have ordererd it and have not received it yet.

Too young to die by today’s standards, Robert James Fischer has passed away in Iceland after failing to checkmate his kidney issues. Bobby Fischer “the enigma” became the world champion in 1972 and perhaps was the biggest inspiration the modern era’s chess generation. He was actively pursued by the U.S. government for defying its orders against playing in Yugoslavia. My personal take is that no one deserves to die like Bobby, irrespective of what he has said. He was harmless and became homeless once U.S. started pursuing him around the world. It is to my amazement that murderers such as Bin Laden get to live their lives whereas harmless former world chess champion are isolated in Iceland to die alone, away from their friends and country. Shame!

This is the question many have asked about the Clintons after they claimed that Dr. King needed a president to move the African American movement forward. But Bill Clinton was often regarded as the first “Black” president of the U.S. So why is it that now Clinton’s are in hot waters with the African American community? It’s simple. Politicians have no shame. None at all. If they have to sell their family members and relatives to find their way to the promise land (in Clinton’s case the White House), then they will do it. Clintons are not sexist or racist. Far from that. They are shameless!

You all have heard of sites such as FaceBook, MySpace, and Linkedin, and many of you probably are active on these sites. But what many people forget is that your employer can also go to these sites and you need to watch out what you say. Of course, someone as hot as myself may not really care what the employer thinks, but misunderstandings can lead to excruciating arguments with your boss. I personally posted a general question to one of these online websites and I got numerous answers that were quite disrespectful towards my employer. While the goal of my question was not that, only God knows what will happen in case someone from work reads that. When it comes to online media one can’t be too careful, so watch your back!

Clinton? Is that what the free-minded people of N.H think is right for this country? I am no Obama or Edwards fan, but by giving the majority vote to Clinton, N.H showed what is wrong with the politics in America. We vote because we feel for our gender. We vote because we feel loyal to a brand. We vote because we feel sorry for a crying woman, which while noble does not guarantee anything for the future of this nation. Clinton may win the nomination and become the first woman president, but she will definitely not be the most qualified person for the job. But I guess that would not be completely out of the blue in the country that your connections, your money, and your husband determine who you can be not your merits! N.H had the opportunity to say no to the old politics tonight, and instead the good people of N.H decided to brain freeze. I respect those voters who voted for Edwards, Obama, and others, but those who voted for Clinton should be ashamed of themselves as Clinton was the easy way out.

Warner Bros. studio has just announced that they are dumping HD-DVD format in favor of Blu-Ray giving Blu-Ray and Sony a huge lead over Toshiba’s High definition format. Both Blu-ray and HD-DVD offer 1080p and highly crisp pictures, but Blu-Ray has outsold HD-DVD in Europe and the U.S. Of course, HD-DVD is not done as companies such as Microsoft are still supporting it, but it would be a disaster for Microsoft if HD-DVD format is defeated by Sony’s Blu-Ray. I do however agree that deciding on one format will allow the movie industry to move forward and achieve bigger better things!

That’s the most absurd thing that I have heard lately, but last night when Clinton was claiming that she is THE candidate to vote for, her message was that she was ready to lead and ready to change! Now that is some sick funny joke!

While I was waiting for Ron Paul to win the Iowa caucus, I saw this ad that was talking about how diets don’t work and WeightWatchers does. I understand that some diets are unhealthy and some are so tough that people just can’t follow them. But the reason diets fail is because of the will of people who are on them. Some people are just weak and do not want to miss a meal. At the very same time, they would like to lose a pound a day by eating out! But just because some people hate missing meals doesn’t mean that all diets don’t work. WeightWatchers is probably a good plan but it ain’t magic!
