Anger.. Launch!

-fall's- Its just like another day...

Ok.. I got rid of my laziness to at least write an entry. Today, I had a bad day at work. I got Afew mistakes from my sales and and accident in my technical side of work. I sold a board without agp slog bundled together with an agp card. Dumb. 1st time it happened since I worked the in the beginning of the year. Damn. Anyway, I got 2 cuts on my fingers because I wasn't careful with that sharp edge of the io panel. haiz.

Piracy
Had a debate with Saleh just now about pirated products. With a sense of logic and down right anger. Given that you pay $149 to $279 for a windows XP or software needed to operate a computer, is it too expensive? I would say yes to those poor families that require a computer that has a proper license to use the OS. Without this license, your OS is recongized as pirated. To make this worst, the law will punish you if you are discovered. The governing commitee should or rather MUST take this into account that they are making this poor people POORER. Piracy is the way to save their money and not strain themselves paying up for it that is not edible or that can keep them alive.

So, why is the software is expensive? Easy. R&D on ways to prevent piracy. Cost them money. This mechanism which supposedly 'protects' the license key or from duplication will fast becomes outdated due to the fast development of technology and a more advance programming that disarm this 'features'. This is however not important as they should counter it by providing cheaper means acquiring this rather 'basic' products. Being a person with a great mind, bill gates is NEVER great as he did not think of the reasons why people purchase his pirated products. why do pirates make fakes? To gain money from their cheap duplication and possibly earning enough to pay for new technologies to duplicate newer 'protection' mechanism thus earning even more. This makes POOR people happy and rich idiotic (bill gates and ETC) people with this products unhappy. making their products cheaper, lets say to the price of $50 and below. Surely they will make more money as there will be an increase of purchases of these products. A lowering of price is the BEST idea since graded prices by adidas and nike to eliminate piracy to their products.

aite.. thats all for today.. ta!
