A New Keyboard key some should introduce

Goodbye iPod, your 13 yrs on Earth were appreciated!!!

The Washington Post reminds us today that the iPod as we knew it, is no more.

It came in with a simple promise, a hefty price tag and a man with something white sticking in his ears bopping around his apartment. Soon, it would transform music as we know it, inspire a business model built around pocket change and turn a struggling computer maker into the most valuable company in the world.

Yet the death Tuesday of the iconic iPod just before its 13th birthday went unacknowledged by that company and by a Silicon Valley crowd that wildly applauded the unveiling of a new phone and a smartwatch — products that stood on the slim, metal shoulders of its predecessor. Instead of an announcement, there was only the sad implication of a redirected online page, sending visitors not to information about the iPod Classic but rather to Apple’s home page.

I verified this, and it's true. Not even here in the Australian store, you can find an iPod.

For the divise that took Apple out of dire straits, this is a very unceremoniously farewell.

Well, long live the iPod, the gadget that got me hooked to everything Apple, as it was meant to do.

Should I resurrect this blog?

I haven't posted here for a very long time, and now I noticed that it had a bit of an impact.

I am blogging consistently at luisjovel.com, but some don't like the English and Spanish mix, and this blog was always in English.

Oh, what do to do? The dilema I am currently facing!

Richard Dawkins is fine with "mild" Pedophilia

Outrages, and shows that atheist don't have a moral compass:

In a recent interview with the Times magazine, Richard Dawkins attempted to defend what he called “mild pedophilia,” which, he says, he personally experienced as a young child and does not believe causes “lasting harm.”

Dawkins went on to say that one of his former school masters “pulled me on his knee and put his hand inside my shorts,” and that to condemn this “mild touching up” as sexual abuse today would somehow be unfair.

“I am very conscious that you can’t condemn people of an earlier era by the standards of ours. Just as we don’t look back at the 18th and 19th centuries and condemn people for racism in the same way as we would condemn a modern person for racism, I look back a few decades to my childhood and see things like caning, like mild pedophilia, and can’t find it in me to condemn it by the same standards as I or anyone would today,” he said.
Plus, he added, though his other classmates also experienced abuse at the hands of this teacher, “I don’t think he did any of us lasting harm.”
Child welfare experts responded to Dawkins’ remarks with outrage — and concern over their effect on survivors of abuse.

 Now, let's see how his peers defend pedophilia.

Is your tablet/iPad replacing your Bible in the Pulpit and at church.

The people at The Gospel Coalition (don't get me wrong, there are some nice folks there, but sometime they come up with the most amusing things!) are bringing this issue to the forefront.

How many of you have fallen into the "sin" of not taking your bible to the pulpit, but your tablet/iPad? Matthew Barret, one of the folks over that TGC, has blogged how this may be a detriment to our churches today.

Michael Bird, from Ridley College, has answered with a bit of sarcasm, but facing the fact that the introduction of any theology into the church, causes bad taste and rejection.

From a personal view, is like those churches that don't allow any musical instruments at their service, yet preach with iPads, or have the latest types of sitting at church.

Enjoy the readings.

"Liberate" the Middle East, decimate the Christian population in the area

Archbishop Cranmer writes in his conclusion to a sage essay on the West's intervention in Middle Eastern politics:

The more we 'intervene', the more Christians are marginalised. In Syria, they are happier living under the the Shia Alawite dictatorship of President Bashar al-Assad than under those we call the 'rebels' or 'opposition forces', who are, in fact, disparate groups of Al Qaeda-affiliated, Wahhabi-Islamist jihadists.

There used to be 80,000 Christians in Homs. The last one was murdered almost a year ago. Only five months ago in Benghazi, Libya, 60 Christians were rounded up by extremist vigilantes. Some were tortured; one was murdered. The media didn't stream the horrors live into our living rooms: HM Government 'stood by' and 'did nothing'.

We liberated Iraq for Christians to be cleansed. We bombed Libya for Christians to be persecuted. We 'stand by' and watch a military coup in Egypt for Christians to be oppressed and exiled. We 'send a message' to Syria for the exodus to continue.

Our brothers and sisters are being killed and we are enabling it with every attempt to 'liberate' various lands for 'democracy'.
