Apple has just announced its next hoopla filled event - albeit this to take place virtually. Fast forward to the day of the event - Tim Cook comes out.  Live blogging continues as the geeky reporters start explaining the details of Cook's BMI and trouser colors. Soon other chiefs of divisions inside the fruit company come out talking about newer keyboards (which actually are decade old design but most in the audience and especially the brain dead user community have forgotten about). So everyone cheers for the new keyboards. Towards the end - the 'one more thing' slide goes up... and out walks Kim.  The 1 and only Un. Another slide shows up -  The reports of my death  are  greatly exaggerated This Mark Twain quote once attributed to the late Steve Jobs now graces the screen again and Kim Un-veils the newest iphone. This one also works in North Korea!  Because Cook pulled all manufacturing out of China and took it south.  To the North Ko...

With covid in the air there is nothing for my thumbs to do other than twiddle.  The other digits meantime find a keyboard intoxicating. The mind when not intoxicated with spirits is a devil's workshop too so a deadly combination in all...pondering what could be and should be.. Que Pero Que... Thus the drivel that follows.. Will bank robbers now be deemed good samaritans for wearing a mask?

If any dude does happen to get shot during the masked robbery the media immediately labels them as innocent bystanders.  How come?  Did they interview the injured and ask about their motivation?  Were they truly innocent?  Were they trying to see how they could bone someone after their business at the ban...

To paraphrase my favorite comedian - people are the worst. I mean it was not long ago that on learning about Apple's intention to launch a new iPhone in market that people expected curved screens. Yes glass on their phone to actually be bent so as to be more suitable for watching movies and whatever else bent screens might do better than their flat counterparts. Enter the iPhone 6.  Its aluminum body lets it naturally bend on application of pressure such as that exerted by the couch parked customers who largely stick their devices (when not in their face) in backpockets of their shaggy trouser. All of a sudden there is a brouhaha about this undocumented feature.  People all over are aghast. They think that the company is bent. Bent on bringing shame to their users who wanted to flaunt it in front of their peers but now looking like fools. So shareholders bent on profiting from sudden change of heart among the fan club sold their positions en-masse. On hearing of al...
