China Strikes back: No Airplanes from USA

Published by wiqqy under Uncategorized Edit This

haha, I saw this comming. The United States have started to play many games of ” toy and milk poisoning ” and this had a severe impact on China’s exports. Countries across the world started to question China’s motives and they had to shut down factory’s that exported for decades.

It amazing how the stupid politicians dont realize that China is America’s No. 1 aircraft customer. As amatter of fact, Boeing’s officials were confident that for the next 20 years,China would still maintain its importance in theAerospace industry.

LAUGH , LAUGH, LAUGH cause HAHAHA doesnt cut it right. Chinese ” government” officials are calling of newly made deals and even going as far as Returing Leases Airplanes  back to their foreign countries. The loss of One american plane deal can have enough loss to buy all of china’s toy industry. So tell me Uncle Sam, why are you screwing with your customers? Did you work at Uncle Chink’s Grocery store and learned how valuable his good were before we started to grow ignorant of his success??

US Military Kill on Religious Holiday

Published by wiqqy under Uncategorized Edit This

Now American soldiers are following the foot steps of the taliban. It is always feared in muslim countries that terrorists will strike at Churches and temples on Christmas. But it has never happened. There hasn’t  been a single incident of terror attack on a non-muslim religious minority in ANY muslim country during their holidays.

But on tuesday, an unmanned american drone attacked a house in Waziristan killing 6 people. Of course they were ordinary civilians as always. How can america win the war on terror when they are fueling the hate that stands against their victory? People in Pakistan are going throught the toughest era in the country’s history, atleast let them enjoy a holiday without picking up limbs the next morning…

Bank Went BankRupt, What about my account?!

Published by wiqqy under Uncategorized Edit This

I am sure everyone has been thinking about the VERY APPARANT recession. Although a bunch of knuckle heads cant see it, its here to haunt us all. Banks are going out of business, rich people are getting richer… WHoopS!!

Anyway, What about my checking account? So the bank went broke, but wait.. What about my deposits that I have been using to pay off my insurance and other bills? Well the good news is that its not going to disappear. But it may take somewhere from 6 months- 2 years. So if you have no back up money, start worrying. Its always good to have some emergency cash on you. Its also important to have accounts in different banks that are not linked ( screw you WaMu! )

Please feel free to add comments, blast or praise my thoughts, I love um all.

3 Ways to Spot a Loser

Published by wiqqy under Uncategorized Edit This

     I think that losers and winners are present in every gathering. If you gather the 5 most influential people of this century. One is probably a loser relative to another. So basically, were all winners and losers at the same time. But here are people who are truly full of S***. Yeah, I think the three most common ” diseases ” you will find in losers are the following

1.A winner goes through a problem and a loser goes around it.

2.A winner says, “There ought to be a better way of doing it”. A loser says, “Why change it - that’s the way it’s always been done”.

3. A loser accepts defeat, a winner challenges it, He comes back and kicks ass!

Well are others that I believe could make it to the list. But the ones above are truly universal.

The things people do

Published by wiqqy under Uncategorized Edit This

I went to a restaurant with my family. So we were having a nice conversation, eating our meals and having the time of our lives. Then after some time, a couple walks in. They were of south asian heritage. The guy was ugly, the girl was awesome. So everythign was fine until they started smooching like there was no tomorrow.

I dont understand how some people have no respect for the environment around them. Eating and Kissing at the same time?> What the hell is that? I knew it was their first date. But i also know that south asians dont go on dates becausing of their cultures. Yet, they had the courage to go this far.

What my problem? I couldnt care less. But the fact that it was a fmaily restaurant and not a dating place , kicked me in the head with their stupid behaviour.

Eat, Brush, then KISS!

Days go by fast

Published by wiqqy under Uncategorized Edit This

Ever wonder how the days go by– One day your picking up your family members from the airport and before you know it, they are confirming their return flight.

I remember how the semester went by so fast. Before i knew it, I was done with TWO semesters and now in less than a months time, I will be in school again. Is life really that short? I mean, I remember the first time lindsay lohan went to rehab, now shes all out and ready to roll again. This is insane. Its as if everything is being fast forwarded like it was recorded by someone.

Life is short. The most beautiful things in this world are very short. Teenage life, college life, vacations, weddings and other gathersing are all short, that is why they are so great and wonderful. If we had spring all our lives, then no one would have cared about the flowers or the nice weather. Does anyone care for the blue sky? not until they realize that a gray lining will ruin their day.

So even if life is short, enjoy it and make it worth while!( i.e. dont do illegal stuff that cut your days even fatser by placing you in a cell )

iPod $120 iRaq $1.6 Trillion

Published by wiqqy under Uncategorized Edit This

How many zeros  do you need to make  $1 ( a buck) a ( trillion).

Lets give it a try

1, 000, 000, 000 Is 1 Billion

1, 000, 000, 000, 000 is 1 Trillion (I think, because I have never used a number that large)

The cost of the dropping bombs and countless ammunition is very big in iraq. I am not even mention the sound of women screaming for their killed children and parents in the war. This war has truly put human life as the most cheapest ” item ” on the market.

There is a way to achieve this destruction without causing all these problems. If you buy an ipod for around 120-180 bucks, you can download  movies from a paid subscriber for about$5/month and watch war movies. Then you can enjoy seeing things that normally would be inhumane and againt human rights, like the way we have it today across many regions of the world.

Does the Bluetooth look stupid?

Published by wiqqy under Uncategorized Edit This

     I see people going around talking to themselves. Or so it seems. The other day i was down main st. when i saw this guy laughing and smiling to himself. I couldnt figure out what the heck was wrong with him, until i saw the dreadful thing stuck in his left ear.

Its understandable that one would use it in a car. But i find it incredibly stupid for someone to be talking via bluetooth when the new phones are less than 20 grams. What about the iphone? how many people have you seen taking the thing out and using it the old fashion way? Thats because they want everyone to see it. Hence, the only reason why someone would use the blueshit is to hide their old modeled phone. But then again, wokers who use their hands for work( duh? ) have no choice but to have that thing. Hey wait? if your working or driving, you shouldnt be talking anyway!

iPhone Already has problems

Published by wiqqy under Uncategorized Edit This

NEW YORK (AP) — The launch of Apple Inc.’s much-anticipated new iPhone turned into an information-technology meltdown on Friday, as customers were unable to get their phones working.

“It’s such grief and aggravation,” said Frederick Smalls, an insurance broker in Whitman, Mass., after spending two hours on the phone with Apple and AT&T Inc., trying to get his new iPhone to work.

In stores, people waited at counters to get the phones activated, as lines built behind them. Many of the customers had already camped out for several hours in line to become among the first with the new phone, which updates the one launched a year ago by speeding up Internet access and adding a navigation chip.

A spokesman for AT&T, the exclusive carrier for the iPhone in the U.S., said there was a global problem with Apple’s iTunes servers that prevented the phones from being fully activated in-store, as had been planned.

Instead, employees are telling buyers to go home and perform the last step by connecting their phones to their own computers, spokesman Michael Coe said.

However, the iTunes servers were equally hard to reach from home, leaving the phones unusable except for emergency calls.

The problem extended to owners of the previous iPhone model. A software update released for that phone on Friday morning required the phone to be reactivated through iTunes.

“It’s a mess,” said freelance photographer Giovanni Cipriano, who updated his first-generation iPhone only to find it unusable.

Apple shares fell $4.05, or 2.3 percent, to close Friday at $172.58 amid a general decline in U.S. stocks.

When the first iPhone went on sale a year ago, customers performed the whole activation procedure at home, freeing store employees to focus on sales. But the new model is subsidized by carriers, and Apple and AT&T therefore planned to activate all phones in-store to get customers on a contract.

The new phone went on sale in 21 countries on Friday, creating a global burden on the iTunes servers.

The iPhone has been widely lauded for its ease of use and rich features, but Apple is a newcomer to the cell-phone business, and it’s made some missteps. When it launched the first phone in the U.S. a year ago, it initially priced the phones high, at $499 and $599, then cut the price by $200 just 10 weeks later, throwing early buyers for a loop.

Rollouts to other countries were slow, as Apple tried to get carriers on board with its unusual pricing scheme, which included monthly fees to Apple. The business model of the new phone follows industry norms, and the price is lower: $199 or $299 in the U.S.

On Thursday, Apple had problems with the launch of a new data service, MobileMe. The service is designed to synchronize a users personal data across devices, including the iPhone, but many users were denied access to their accounts.

Enthusiasm was high ahead of the Friday morning launch of the new phone.

Alex Cavallo, 24, was one of hundreds lined up at the Fifth Avenue store, just as he had been a year ago for the original iPhone. He sold that one recently on eBay in anticipation of the new one. In the meantime, he has been using another phone, which felt “uncomfortable.”

“The iPhone is just a superior user experience,” he said. The phone also proved a decent investment for him: He bought the old model for $599 and sold it for $570.

Nick Epperson, a 24-year-old grad student, spent the night outside an AT&T store in Atlanta, keeping his cheer up with bags of Doritos, three games of Scrabble and two packs of cigarettes. Asked why he was waiting in line, he responded simply “Chicks dig the iPhone.”

IPhone fever was strong even in Japan, where consumers are used to tech-heavy phones that do restaurant searches, e-mail, music downloads, reading digital novels and electronic shopping. More than 1,000 people lined up at the Softbank Corp. store in Tokyo and the phone quickly sold out.

“Just look at this obviously innovative design,” Yuki Kurita, 23, said as he emerged from buying his iPhone, carrying bags of clothing and a skateboard he had used as a chair during his wait outside the Tokyo store. “I am so thrilled just thinking about how I get to touch this.”

The phone went on sale first in New Zealand, where hundreds of people lined up outside stores to snap it up right at midnight — 8 a.m. Thursday in New York.

“Steve Jobs knows what people want,” Web developer Lucinda McCullough told the Christchurch Press newspaper, referring to Apple’s chief executive. “And I need a new phone.”

In Germany, sales were brisk at local carrier T-Mobile’s stores, particularly in Munich, Hamburg and Cologne, said spokeswoman Marion Kessing.

AP Business Writers George Frey in Frankfurt, Germany, Yuri Kageyama in Tokyo and Greg Bluestein in Atlanta contributed to this report.
