People Suck

I haven't posted to this blog in quite a while. I got pretty busy over the summer and not only abandoned this blog but let my stupid domain, tuncerdeniz.com, expire. Lo and behold, here comes some fuck from Dubai and buys the domain. When I ask him to sell it back to me, he says he wants $1000. I told him to "go fuck yourself". Like that bitch is going to get any offers for tuncerdeniz.com. Seriously.

So, I've registered tuncerdeniz.net and this will be my new home for a while.

Apple vs The Rumor Sites

There's been a lot of media coverage about this and frankly, I'm glad that Apple sued Think Secret and all those rumor monger sites. Here's my take on it...these sites exist to make money off of Apple's secrets. To me there is something fundamentally wrong with that. Think Secret has become such a popular site and it is making Nick DePlumme (or whatever his real name is) so much money that off of Apple's trade secrets that it kinda makes me wanna puke.

Maybe it's because I run a web site of my own and know how much hard work you have to put in it in order for it to be successful. These sites, on the other hand, depend their success on some Apple employee (who is probably getting a cut of the action) to illegally give out trade secrets. Come on, enough is enough...

Apple, like any other company, has every damn right to find out who is leaking their secrets. And if that means they need to steam roll over Think Secret and all those other sites, fine.

This Week's Lamer Award Goes To...

This week's lamer award goes to the guy who for the last 6 months has been trying to mock me by creating iChat buddy icons that look like mine. It's getting old dude and really lame :)

Happy Birthday, Here's Your Diagnosis

Well, after running a high fever, with aching bones, and headaches, coupled with a really sore throat, I decided to head to the Doctor today. The fever has gone down but the throat is still killing me. Diagnosis. Strep throat.

Today I turn 36 and swallowing anything is a major pain. Going to dinner tonite to celebrate with friends is going to be tough, but wouldn't miss it :)

The Flu

I have the flu again. Second time this year. You can bet that next year I'll be getting the shot...that is, if my doctor can find it :)

Apple Shares Up And Up!

Apple was up another three dollars and change. Glad I bought two weeks ago. As predicted, the company announced they would split last Friday. As for another prediction, the stock will slep after it splits this coming Friday, but overall the stock is lookign great...

This Week's Award For The Smartest Guy In The World

This week's award for the smarest guy in the world goes to ex-Google employee Mark Jen, who got himself terminated by his employer for posting in his blog about his new job. Jen says, "Either directly or indirectly, my blog was the reason." Duh! Jen's fatal error was posting criticism about his employer.

Ok, first off, if you're hired by Google, shut the fuck up and work. Their stock is going through the roof and Jen would have been a millionare in a few years time. Obviously Google realized after the fact that this guy wasn't too bright and made a mistake by hiring him.

Posting about your employer or for that matter, posting stuff about your personal or work related problems, just shouldn't be in your blog. People will come to your blog and will read it and if you start posting about your drug problem, or that you won the lottery, it's only going to invite problems.

That said, I hope my employer isn't reading this...he's a prick.
