n900 Fanboism taken to where it should stand.

So, after searching around the net for blog posts or some fanboism regarding the N900 and finding little about it, I decided to express myself here and let my voice be heard.

First of all, if you love linux (namely ubuntu or other debian-based systems) you should stop reading here and do yourself a favor.. go there and spend your useless money in this useless piece of fun! (I say useless because well.. what's useful anyways... Condoms, Toilet Paper or a Smartphone?)

If you are a python lover, go to a nokia store and ask the guy to "try" this phone.. then.. on the desktop press: Shift+Ctrl+x, this will open a xterminal (well, if you aren't into this whole brevity-keyboard-shortcuts thing you can get to the same terminal through the apps menu).
Now type "python".. push enter..... doesn't it feel it is YOUR phone? That you can do the fucking whatever you want with it and all!? This extends to the whole thing, apt-get, ScummVM, firefox, IRC..

Now, if you are not into this linux thing, then I'll just say one thing.. call me on gtalk, skype or my own phone number and it will all look the fucking same to me (except for a cuttie and informative icon on the upper right corner telling me where the hell that message came from).

Don't come with this i(Pad/Phone) shit.. I can name thousands of things you can't accomplish with that. And if you come with those "but it just works".. well.. that's what I want for my mom's phone, not for mine! I'm a developer, I understand (to some extent) electronics and software therefore I can "deal" with them.

Besides, it is linux and it is as open as hell so if anything doesn't pleases you.. go there and change!

Enough of this now..

Well, I'm done now.. eno

As one can guess, there is a lot to awkward situations;

To begin with, awkward situations are as such only when you don't laugh enough.
As the fella says,
"Remember, men. There is nothing wrong with surrendering to overwhelming powers, as long as it is done in a military manner. "

Well, in fact this draft was saved since June and I'm not quite sure where I was heading to or which, then recent, events triggered me to start writing this. Probably something related to the "dating a Ho" thing.. (much anticipated future post).

Where I'm heading now with this post is a brief encounter with truth. Let truth be told:
What would the one you love tell you if they could say anything, no hard feelings! What would they say you're doing wrong?


The problem with most people's modern, entertainment-full, lives is that although they have lots of plans on how to achieve things, they keep living day by day too much.

I could say that entertainment can be part of your life in two different ways:
a) Something that distracts you, shadowing what you really should be doing. Its like procrastinating but without much guilt.
b) The moments you take off your "path" in order to simply, celebrate your wins!

Obviously, there ain't no simple nor visible line in between the two. One can't easily say when the "moments off" become something that "distracts you away from your future goals". One way of seeing the lives of lots of people is that at a certain point, in which they consider themselves "winners", they stop for some deserved distraction/entertainment but they never come back, ever.

All this is pretty obvious of course, but writing about it never ceases to have some effect.
