Hello!!?? We only have 1 earth people!!

As the bullshit with BP continues... now the story includes clean crews... some who don't appear to give a shit about the meaning of the word CLEAN.

Its a damned travesty. I really hope the people at BP and Transocean see how much cost SAVINGS they have a achieved by cutting corners. In fact I think they should go LIVE in the most affected areas.

Dirty disposal of oil cleanup material Review finds shoddy work by handlers of boom, other waste

A mound of oily sand sits in an uncovered waste container in a parking lot at the crown jewel of Alabama's park system, Gulf State Park. Water from the previous night's storm drips out of the bin into a brown pool on the asphalt.

....

A waste collection area dotted with numerous bins full of spill debris stands in what seems like an odd spot: Smack in the middle of the tourist section in Gulf Shores, Ala., directly across the street from a seafood restaurant hungry for customers because of a lack of tourists.

....

Yet Jerry Kidd, doing maintenance work at a condominium, couldn't believe it when he saw a Waste Management Inc. truck pull away from a collection site in Orange Beach piled with loose sand, oil-smeared protective gear and oily boom pulled out of the water. It was trailing pollution of its own. "They're going down the road leading to the landfill; they take the same route every day. They're leaking onto the roads, into the storm sewers," said Kidd. "There's no telling where it's going."

SRSLY people... the clean up crews need to step it up... BP and Transocean need to step it up.
And I saw a advertisement for a fund raiser... I am not donating shit. Want to know why? Cause it was a PREVENTABLE disaster.
BP should just write a fucking check. Period.
We pay for it every f&%$ing day. The lives lost the day of the accident. At the pump.  At the grocery store.  With the undeniable damage that is being to the ocean and the life that relies on it above and under water.
With that note. I'll end with a link from MSNBC again.

Aquarium exhibit loses sea life for spill, Idea is to show how disaster might impact corals, fish

Things that Piss me off... Oil Edition

Things that piss me off?
Corporations that DON'T FOLLOW THE SAFETY RULES.

Like that mine the blew up recently and killed miners because the company did not follow safety rules.

Screw you Bp and Transocean.... I hate you hurting my earth. My daughter's earth. For profit and bullshit.

All this bullshit with this oil well leaking has really pissed me off. Oil companies are a fucking joke. Transocean not following safety rules. I saw a video today from MSNBC... as you know and old favorite of mine.

Watch the video. Know that in the background my head has exploded from the level of pissed off i am. So far they are sucking worse than the Pittsburgh Pirates, failing at everything to stop the giant fucking leak they tried to HIDE at first. Like nobody would fucking notice.... Assholes.

I hate BP, I will NEVER buy gas from them again even if it means I have to walk to another gas station.

The more spills change, the more they stay the same...

iPhone Killer revisited.

Last year I wrote this:

iPhone killer? Shut up already

It almost a year later so for fun... lets review the new line up of  phones.... So, I googled "iPhone killers" to see who has had the name recently. First up:

Palm Pre/Pixie
This phone has FAILED epically after being stuck on shitty ass sprint for too long. When you need a 30 to 40 minute training to learn how to use it then its too f&^%ing complicated.


Google's Nexus One phone 
Launched on t mobile. Cant buy it in stores. Killed itself in favor of new htc phones further down.


Motorola Droid
Well, it saved the company from ending up like Palm. It is still very popular and A LOT of bb users gave up blackberry for droid.

Microsoft/Sharp "pink" phones. AKA Kin 1 and Kin Two.
Uh... yeah. The jury is out as the phones are just hitting the market...

Samsung galaxy s AND HTC EVO 4G
Both not released, but hyped very much. The Galaxy S is a gsm phone(t-mobile or at&t) and the EVO is currently on preorder trying to save Sprint's ass.

And finally:
HTC Droid Incredible (quoted from http://www.iphonekiller.com/ )

Unlike any other iPhone Killers in the past, this one truly has everything AND more than currently available iPhone 3GS. Not only are all the hardware spec superior (bigger and better screen, faster processor, better camera, etc.), the multi-tasking and multi-touch supported Android 2.1 OS is superior to Apple OS 3. The only lacking may be the availability of the Android apps (~50,000 versus Apple’s 200,000) but they are fast gaining as more and more Android based phones are out there.

The verdict? You still can't Kill the iPhone. But you can make something better than the iPhone and watch that shit go on a 20 day back-order because the reviews were so good that no advertising was needed.  HTC is gonna make a lot of money this year by getting awesome devices out before the next (slightly better than last year) stupid ass iPhone. You can't kill the masses of people who buy shit just cause its Apple. Look at the ipad. Its a giant iTouch. that's it. A net book with out a keyboard. Or any way to connect anything to it. STUPID.

Only Apple knows what the new iPhone will be. I am sure we could put a cat turd in a box call it iTurd  and Apple would sell a million of them  f&^%ers cause its Apple (OOOOO!! not)
