My Justification for not buying a tablet this Christmas.

My Justification for not buying a tablet this Christmas.

My justification for not immediately going for a tablet is holding true to its tenet.

They were mainly personal reasons.

1. I do not like any proprietary software installed.

2. I do not like proprietary operating system too.

3. Even if the above two conditions cannot be avoided I need my own or selected operation system run independently of the above two.

4. Eve android is not my kind of game.

5. I prefer sourceforge EyeOS instead of Android or vagaries of Android even though I supported the move by Google from the very beginning its embrace of Linux (they did it for different reason now I understand).

6. I don't like even Kindlefire in spite of very vocal support for its success above all the other E-readers.

7. Apart from the above facts, it cannot or does not let you boot from a smartcard like in Barnes Noble tablet. In that scenario I prefer Banes Noble in spite of the higher price.

8. Not having the USB boot function was my major attribute that is missing in Kindlefire. But I do not make qualm at this stage before it get established in the classroom. I want it to be successful in an educational environment and if one has camera and lot of other utilities it divert the attention of the students and teachers will have a hectic time preventing little guys hacking into the system without the teacher's knowledge. It is natural for kids to do that kind of things. If they want to do that their mums and dads have to buy a separate tablet.

9. I need a dock for a proper keyboard at my age. I am not going to fiddle with my fingers and touch screen.

10. Now comes the crunch point.  

Carrier-IQ's attempt to spy on YOU is OUTRAGEOUS. 

What ever their industrial justification the METHOD is worse than a dictator/king attempt to say that he/she is not nude in front of his her subjects while parading stark naked.

It is naked attempt to hoodwink the not so sophisticated ordinary guy/girl.

I thought only Microsoft applied that principle and now that they are rich they seem not to repeat their old mistakes.

It is the new companies want to get rich quickly coming from Asian subcontinent who would apply those tactics. 

Already their is hush every China built chip has associated spyware (it may be a ploy of IBM and the chip manufacturer to undermine China. But their is no reason such a rich and powerful company with lot at stake will go down that pathway unless they know something is brewing in China. I tend to believe them knowing what China is.

Chinese and Indian guys did dirty things in this country prior to and during elections.

I retire into Christmas holidays not sporting a tablet or Kindle and my reasons are vindicated by and large.

It is prudent practice to wait and see policy and to see which direction the wind blows.

In this digital age one has to be not paranoid to believe anything they offer with with market hypes and strategies.

Training my Virtual Medical Assistant (V.M.A)- Secretaries

Training my Virtual Medical  Assistant (V.M.A) Secretaries

I love the idea of using a Virtual Medical Assistant (V.M.A for short.).

Thank god I am in my twilight years and listening to birds singing is one of my natural pastimes and trying to figure out which bird is calling and which bird is answering is not an easy task.

But the idea of voice activated cellphone is a welcome addition to an armory of medically offensive gadgets that are springing by numbers.

Dictaphone was in my armory when working abroad. I could do a very good dictation without punctuation marks and my secretaries never bothered to phone back and ask me for any clarifications. That was a very positive effort on my part and my superiors very much like my approach except a few, since I did not try to show off any accent but pure and simple Queen's English, I dictated.

Mind you I was taking to a voice machine and not a person.

The idiot, the Dictaphone does not have any emotions and only records my voice.

I tell them that putting fullstops, commas, semicolons and apostrophes are her job and not mine.

When things were difficult unlike S.M.S. I wrote down the specific stuff clearly to save their time.

I hope and pray that smart-phone becoming intelligent and telling me back you are creepy and some sort of a sob.

Advantages.

1. After some time smart-phone will instantly know what you are trying to do.

2. Unlike human secretaries who make the same mistakes over over again smart-phone would never repeat mistakes.

3. One can take home the Virtual Secretary unlike the human with bizarre consequence at home boundary.

4. One can switch off the VMA with just a push of a button unlike a jabbering soul with money / home problems.

5. At worse I can thrash it on the floor.

I have to think of the 6 to 10 as and when my lateral thinking make me to do so.

For me it is a smart innervation.

6. If I see a guy/girl I hate (on my war-path) to meet or talk or exchange any greetings I can pretend I am very busy talking to it (of cause switched off and with so many adversaries including politicians I do not want to run dry the battery life) and escape harmlessly. I see this happening every day of my life since i do not still carry a smartphone.

Footnote 1

It is now known that disappearance of bees and their migration pattern is affected by cellphones and microwave activity. 

Like the climate-gate scientists are still hiding behind huge amount of distorted facts by agents and their companies.

Footnote 2

We have a few answers. Last May, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC, a branch of the World Health Organization), in Lyon, France, issued a statement that the electromagnetic frequencies from cell phones would henceforth be classified as "possibly carcinogenic to humans." The determination was based in part on data from a 13-country study, called Interphone, which reported in 2008 that after a decade of cell phone use, the risk of getting a brain tumor -- specifically on the side of the head where the phone is placed -- goes up as much as 40 percent for adults. Israeli researchers, using study methods similar to the Interphone investigation, have found that heavy cell phone users were more likely to suffer malignant tumors of the salivary gland in the cheek, while an independent study by scientists in Sweden concluded that people who started using a cell phone before the age of 20 were five times as likely to develop a brain tumor. According to a study published in the International Journal of Cancer Prevention, people living for more than a decade within 350 meters of a cell phone tower experience a four-fold increase in cancer rates.

C-IQ Application is Spying on YOU and is DANGEROUS!

 I have said earlier, the moment One opens an EMAIL address, one loses one's privacy for life.
I have to amend that and the moment you buy and owns a Cell-Phone or may even be a tablet which include Kindle, you are tagged and the device you own and paid for is spying for the Carrier or may be the CIA or KGB.

I have to add another one for why I do not use a Cell-Phone (not that I have anything to hide but I love my privacy in my retirement and I am not going to contest for any political chair) and this one is the most dangerous.

NO encryption and password can be stolen.
No opt out once one is IN.
American Politicians this is more dangerous for you when you are campaigning for HIGH CHAIR!
Why don't you do something about it instead of destroying ones HARD DRIVES.

Digital World is Digital and they keep a tag and record of what you do for even a fraction of a second.
It is worse than the end of the world in 2012.
So, there's a root-kit hidden in millions of cellphones and spying on you.
