Its Coming

Cingular 8525

The Cingular 8525 is two things, if anything. Where it's at in cellphone technology, and the perfect example to show you how stupid cellphone carriers are. You can look up the phone on google and find out why its "where it's at in cellphone technology", but I'll clue you in on how stupid cellphone carriers are. In a world where 1/4 of people who switch carriers do it because of new phone models.

Cellphone carriers have NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

I don't mean to say they have no concept of what they should be doing, because that's an obvious observation that anyone could make. I'm saying that they don't even fully grasp their own supply chains. Lets look at example a. You'll notice that Cingular believed it would have the 8525 out for a Sept 24th rebate? If you look at my buisness leaks post, you'll notice they also gave a presentation to their buisness sale's people that marked it's release as Oct 29th.

It's November 1st people. And they're still playing with themselves.

This means that within 2month's of the release of a product, Cingular still does not know when they're release date is going to be. That says A LOT about supply chain management.

OMFG Kerry where were you FOUR YEARS AGO

What the eff is wrong with John Kerry?

SERIOUSLY.

Read this.

If Kerry had showed 1/10th of that passion and contempt for the administration in the last election, instead of being civil to them, they would have had a MUCH harder time stealing the election. They would have had to steal more states. Not to mention he should have bitched them out on stealing it.

This current administration is unbelievably intellegent. Take what happened in WW2 where the Germans kept doing whatever they wanted, while talking about diplomacy. It took countries so long to finally act. Noone acted until they were forced to act. This administration is following Germany's lead. They do whatever they want, all the while they smile on camera and say whatever people want to hear, then continue doing whatever they want. If it was hard to get a handful of countries onboard to do something about Germany, how hard is it to get enough Senators to impeach the administration, or 200,000,000 people on board to do something about the senate and the administration? Nearly impossible, until people are forced to act.

People love their cozy little worlds, and nothing will change until the president is declaring martial law, and rounding up dissenting citizens into detention centers, and even then, as long as it doesn't effect a majority of the population, how pissed will people really be? Pissed enough? Probably not.

The President is pissing on the constitution again.

Seriously, the severity of this is painfully ridiculous.
The president just got them to change the rules that govern martial law. He wasn't content with having to ask a state's senate or governer if he could bring a federal military force into their state. WHY? For the love of god why would anyone at all think that it would be a good idea to make it easier for the president to declare martial law inside of the US? The idea of keeping federal military out of states is that the California State Militia isn't going open fire on Silicon Valley just because the President says so. Is a bunch of trained military units from Alabama who is told the fags are trying to corrupt our democracy going to have the same reservations when they're helidropped into the Bay area?

Oh, don't forget : "A little-known $385 million contract for Halliburton subsidiary KBR to build detention facilities for "an emergency influx of immigrants"

http://www.kxma.com/getARticle.asp?ArticleId=60086 has the republican viewpoint (they don't like it either, obviously).
has more on the contracts.

This is almost as vomit inducing as the news that my state just went to all electronic voting in time for the mid-term elections.

While I'm on it, let me mention how well things are going in Iraq.

Humurous

Why should we pay for electricity again?
Your logic is very convincing.
Clothes are overrated. Fuck em.
