USC loses its 2004 BCS Championship I don't know for sure if Reggie Bush was the only athlete that school year or in the entire country that was involved in such incident. However, it is the only incident on behalf of USC for that year that came to surface, so much blame goes to him. Thanks to wrongdoings of one athlete, now the entire year of hard work, glory and pride all disappear for everyone who was involved for that championship run. Shame.
2011 WWDC Keynote I saw many promising things from the keynote yesterday. As usual, I must wonder how the company, Apple, will proceed once Steve leaves his reign. So much magic and guidance dicated by him directly, I fear the days of the company perhaps losing its vision in defining new standards in technology. It is clear, based on historic events as well as diretives for the future that we know, Apple is a leader who is willing to take initiatives to define how technology will be embedded into our lives. They are at forefront leaving competitors in the dust. I am very excited to see much of their focus is on "user experience" rather than other impervious matters.The Mail app overhaul looks great. I don't think I will be using Sparrow much after Lion becomes available. Matter of fact, I don't think I will be using Outlook 2011 for Mac any longer either.Twitter integration must be a welcome news for heavy duty Twitter users. I tweet perhaps 2 to 5 a day and can already see how things would be so much easier.The new Camera app for iOS 5 looks awesome as well. It looks like it will either surpass or at least close gap on Camera+ app.Whether Apple's vision is correct or not, the cloud is obviously the future. Privacy and security comes to my mind as something that will have to be rock solid. They are taking the lead and will people follow?Innovation and reaction to user base clearly show that Apple is cut from a different mold compared to others.I hate Safari on my Mac. A few features shown like Reader app plus Read Later feature really tempt me. If it's stable enough, will I jump ship from Chrome and move back to Safari?
Arnold How quickly can a man's legacy take a tumble? Things are unraveling and there appears to be no end.
Netflix I have recently rediscovered Netflix on my iPad and just can't say enough about how awesome it is.
AT&T data cap With inevitable future like storage on cloud and constant data consumption like Netflix just to name a few, AT&T's data cap, 150gb for DSL and 250gb for U-verse, is not justified no matter what bullshit reasons they come up with. I consider AT&T still to be one of the prominent 5 worst companies.
Miami Heat It's laughable how quickly people jump on the bandwagon just as quickly jumping off the bus on Heat, LeBron, and everything else that goes with 2010/2011 Miami Heat.
Dodgers Dear McCourts, please sell the team to someone who is capable of and give the fans a team back that we all can cheer for again. You swallowed more than you can chew, and now you are vomitting all over the fanbase.
