Upgrade (The hidden business)

Blackberry Service, Internet, , , ,

Have you noticed that almost all your computer (or devices)  apps, widgets or programs are updates regularly and more than ever before? If you think about it, millions of people downloading the latest upgrade , how many gigabytes of payable a data is being consumed? Millions and millions of dollars!! Sometimes app developers are truly concerned with the improvement of your application but lets be honest, sometimes the upgrade is well planned and belongs to a business strategy…. I have decided not to use programs that are updated once a week, just my antiviruses and computer maintenance tools, such as CCleaner, AVG and Adaware.

Blackberry app world is asking me to download apps upgrades almost everyday, sometimes twice a day even upgrades for the app to control the lights of the device! Everytime I upgrade I use an average of 1 mb , China Unicom has more than 150 milion users, so do the math… Not only that! Let alone the wap push messages asking you to download songs, videos and themes… Welcome to the best hidden business of all times.

Next time you are asked to upgrade your app or program think if it is really necessary.  Last week I upgraded my Firefox Mozilla and I lost 3 important add ons because they were not compatible with the new version!!

Famous upgrades:

1. All Apple apps are updated at least once a month.

2.Blackberry flashlight

3. Blackberry lock for messenger

4. Blackberry Survice

5. Adobe reader

6. Adobe Flash

7. The infamous Windows update!

 

and so on and on and on…….

To Lose trust. (Previously posted on Blogger)

Friendship, , ,

37 years and still cannot manage how to deal with other people’s trust and making clear I am not a stepping stone.
It all began last year, I met some people far up north in Beijing and thought It was a good idea to broaden up my social circles a little bit. Among this people there was this guy who was really eager and pushy about starting business with me. At the time I was so confident in the well being of my current job that had the space to feel imaginative towards new ways of making money.
People disguise frindship with personal interest, and I sometimes forget this. I started making plans of business with this “new friend” and knowing his social connections all hails to the new born friendship.
He started to make plans of moving to my city and I agreed, when he arrived here I realized he did not have a penny, just friends and talking. Well, let’s help him with a place, then food, then shoes, then, then, then……
At the end, his friends never backed his mouth, just talking. He would spend all day long daydreaming about his impossible love, his utopic way of life and his long gone “Golden years”…

It all ended the day I said, “I don’t have more money” , he turned into a monster, a green swamp slime…. He hated my guts and blamed me for all his sorrows. I felt sorry and sad. because we all have our dark side. Who are we to blame and to judge. We are all talk as well.

Storyline, never mix business with friendship, is like juggling with japanese Knives.
