Microsoft Bing shows how sad things are @MS

www.bing.com is the new search wonder of MS. Its a pure rip off. They must have thought what is Google doing and do that. From a leader in Tech they have become a follower and copycat. Strange, sad and above all weak. It seems like the MS people have stopped innovating and focus on making money too much. The golden rule is IMHO, if you make something good, Money will follow, if you follow the money you will get lost in your search. BTW Google still is a better search engine, just tried the Bing beta

I love it when IIP moves to a new territory (Berlin, next = ??)

The Visitor, why do we have borders?

What a beautiful movie. It makes me angry to realize that the borders we have in our world are only there to protect the interest of a few. In a world where borders only disappear when you have money, the asking why stops so easy. Today we, in the western world, live in a vacuum that lacks civilization. With political figures like Geert Weelders, R.I.P Jorg Hyder and many others playing with the electorate by placing a mirror of fear in front of those that stopped asking why long time ago. Especially the people that believe that aliens take our jobs, our wives, our dignity deserve to suffer as much as all those in deportation centers, border camps etc. Why do we have our borders and why do we keep people out that are seeking for a better life and are willing to work hard to make that happen? I hope one day we will let go of our fears and open up our world so it is safe to 'travel and be' for every living creature, including the people that come from places where life is dark.

Very happy things are looking good again ;-)

The Dutch retirement discussion, here to help our economy????

In Holland our government is busy talking and making plans to let people work after 65. The strange thing is that they want to help our economy. I am not a very knowledgeable guy in this space, but think its retarded. The reason is two folded.

1. Who wants to employ 65+ person, both public and private sector just don't do this;

2. Isn't there a better way to help the economy?

The first is I think the best argument to not spend any time and money on this issue. Just be flexible. If people have a job and want to work longer, just let them, problem solved. The second is clearly the most important thing to think about. Go to a 24/7 economy and support entrepreneurs more. This will help our country to become more competitive and generate more cash. 

I get very sad of our government, they are the worst in a century. No imagination and only politics. They are to blame for the economic crisis more then anybody else. They were told it was going to be bad and did nothing but telling the public it would all be fine. Now they behave like letting people work just before they turn cold is a solution that needs immidiate attention. STRANGE!

Belgium NP on this

KPN sucks and is worst telco in the world

I am trying for three months to cancel my internet subscription and find myself in the infinite loop of KPN. Not what they promised, very old fashion.
