Who's going to win the Debate?

Next week, people will get to see who is more convincing in their answers and approach to problems facing the their nation! Election may hinge debate. Whoever wins or projects self much better with answers and solutions. In fact report says that But while civics teachers, activists and other concerned citizens might not like to hear it, presidential debates are at least as much about style as substance, veterans of the process agree."They call them debates, but they're not debates," said Republican debate coach Sheila Tate. "They're platforms for the two candidates to position themselves" for an audience of undecided voters who, research shows, tend to rely on their gut, Tate said.

So I guess the main blogpoint here is..if Bush wins the debate, he's got a great chance of winning the election...right? Yeah!
Blogtechs: Gizmodos I like!
According to the Nokia's press release , there's new series model again and this time it's the 6670. I notice it's kinda similar to 7610..which I still don't have( no $$$ plus I think I like the 3220) but want to for blogging purposes. The new 6670 could probably like an upgrade of nokia's 7610. Another gadget is the Microtek Portable DVD Player. now, that I wanna have for those boring times when the teachers are not around and I'm just staring at ceiling and don't feel like having sore thumb smsing ancient Nokia phone! Hahaha.

The Art of Sharing

Time for to open the source so says Bill.. and so Microsoft has decided to allow governments and international organizations access to source code for its Office 2003 productivity suite.

Hmm, just for th government? what about geeks of no importance and the everyday people? Most are intoopen source coding now soo Gates opening up too. Heheee.

Biased in the media..

And Bill O'Reilly Got It Right this time

If Fox is for GOP then CNN is for the Democrats.. but the problem with that is journalist, broadcasters losing some credibility in reporting what really is the truth. We are somehow lost in verbal laments and prostrate debates and the biases of media men. Where does one draw the line then? CNN show crossfire has two blabbermouths who works for the Kerry Campaign, Paul Begala and Jame Carville. A for Fox, geesh! the whole network is GOP itself.

The point here according to Frank Rich article in NYTimes is Bill O Reilly attacked CNN for keeping James Carville and Paul Begala as hosts on "Crossfire" after they had joined the Kerry campaign, he fingered yet another symptom of the decline and fall of the American news culture. Mr. Carville have argued that the line wasn't blurred here because the liberal "Crossfire" hosts are unpaid, loosey-goosey Kerry advisers and their show is an opinion-mongering screamfest, not a news program.

No matter how long the overlap between Mr. Carville and Mr. Begala's TV and campaign roles, that brand and CNN itself are now as inextricably bound to the Democrats as Fox is to the Republicans. The network has succeeded in an impossible feat — ceding Mr. O'Reilly the moral high ground. The thing is, The Bush campaign doesn't have to enlist Fox hosts for its staff since they're willing to whore for it without even being asked.

I think individuals who works for election campaign and candidates should be castigated for doing shows which ultimately affects perception and can ulimately change opinions of people especially if all they do is defend their bosse instead of being neutral.

Hahaha, yep yep, I downloaded the new browser. It was really toss up between that or Mozilla Firefox I read most of the reviews before finally deciding to try Anderson Che's work. (The pros). It's damn good interface and skins and everything than IE. I can disable sound and music and flash to speed up connectivity and it has the ever popular pop up blocker. It's sight for sore IE soreyes. I love the tabs and all the mulitfunctions it offers.. it's faster too..definitely more than IE though when I go to my journal it's tad slow..ugh! Also (The cons)I can't open another broswer.
