Manned Venus Flyby

Ennev — Fri, 03 May 2013 16:00:42 +0000

Did you know that the NASA was planning a Venus flyby in the 70′s it was basically like sending Skylab and an Apollo capsule there and back. It’s just sad to see all theses missed opportunities, it’s wasn’t a pipe dream where you would have to invent and develop new vehicle and technology, all this project was based on spare equipment from the moon missions.

Nintendo shutting down Wii online services in June

I guess it will make a few angry, is it a way to push users to the wii U ?

From destructoid :

Nintendo shutting down Wii online services in June

Nintendo is set to kill off many of the Wii’s online services in June, running a sword through Nintendo Channel, News Channel, Forecast Channel, Everybody Votes Channel, and Mii Contest Channel. Data exchange in certain games will also be ended.

The Wii Shop Channel will continue to be in effect, because there’s no way a publisher would ever shut down something involving your money. The “Today’s Accomplishment” message board feature is being preserved as well.

With the Wii U out and Nintendo selling an offline Wii Mini, it looks like it can’t justify those online features anymore. Sucks for any Wii owners who may still like them. They probably won’t all flock to a Wii U over this, though.

Ubuntu for your smartphone ?

Ennev — Thu, 03 Jan 2013 18:13:46 +0000

It’s a great news, but it feels right now that there is only a place for two operating systems on Smartphone. We are seeing what is happing with Blackberry, WebOS. I’m not even sure if Windows 8 can make a dent in iOS and Android market share.
So even it’s a great idea, I still think it will be use only by a minority of users, like Linux box in use by personal users.

SpaceFlight

I meant to share theses articles a while ago, but life being what it is I’m going to bundle in a single post.

I believe that being in space is important, some will say it divert energy and resources that could be used for more important things, like what? War? What is spent on war in a week could finance a space agency for a year!

I even think that exploration is a good goal, while your exploring you might not think about war all that much, could be a nice way to keep warmonger busy with something else.

You think the internet don’t know much about you ?

It’s safe it’s not hacking, but interesting to see what’s available about us to be able to produce this.

Say NO to ads on CBC Radio

Ennev — Fri, 23 Nov 2012 14:40:57 +0000

Faced with deep budget cuts, our national public broadcaster plans to become more commercial, including placing unlimited ads on some of its radio networks. Canadian media is already saturated with commercial advertising messages. That’s why CBC Radio stands out as such a welcome contrast, a commercial-free oasis. If CBC is allowed to place ads on its radio network we will lose the last remaining commercial-free public space in our media. Please do not allow ads on CBC Radio.
