  • That is not really how it works, at least in Christianity. If you read the bible cover-to-cover, you see that 90% of it is “you already know what is right or wrong, just act accordingly” until god just gives up after a couple of centuries and destroys isreal. Then Jesus comes along and again says “you already know what is right or wrong, please just act accordingly” but instead the people crucify him. Then of course the infamous Paul comes along and I believe that is the moment God abandoned us, because Paul keeps on blabbering how you should not give money to church, unless it is him, how woman are not supposed to talk etc. while he is in prison all the time.







  • The rumor is that the whole iPhone concept was actually the idea of one unnamed engineer at apple who worked on it in his spare time; apparently he had the idea at the same time as the folks at IG, probably it was kind of a natural evolution of the earlier devices. (You have to consider that the thing that made the iPhone such a success, the “app store”, was not available from the beginning. The first devices had no official way of adding any software, but people quickly found hacks and added a debian-like package management to it. From there the first custom applications spawned and only then Apple understood the potential of opening the platform to third-party developers.)

    Regarding the engineer, apparently he was fired by his supervisor for spending time on this “stupid” idea; but back in the day, Apple had the policy that everyone who was fired had to report to Jobs one last time, and then he showed him what he was working on and Jobs took it from there.










  • I don’t know about bees, but last year I noticed wasps crawling in and out a hole on my balcony. I did not think much of it, but noticed the home owner, just to be safe.

    Well they send a beekeeper, and that guy explained to me that now it is quiet, but within 4 weeks he expect there to be about 20000 wasps in there, it would be getting really loud and they would have started to find an exit into my apartment. Apparently they multiply really fast.
