BLOG COMMENTS: 2015/04/12– 2015/04/20



MY COMMENT: The ISIS militants are more barbarians than the pagan monarchs who martyred the first Christians. 11 Recommendations 04/19/2015 03:03:53 PM



MY COMMENT: The human beings without future go to the death in crowd. Again the painful news comes from the coasts of Africa, near the Libyan Inferno. 6 Recommendations 04/19/2015 02:14:30 PM



MY COMMENT: 50 years ago, the “Moore’s Law” was the first step for the development of a new niche of the technology industry: semiconductors.

In its turn, the semiconductor industry gave step to other specific segments of the technology: microprocessors for computers, graphic microprocessors, semiconductors for memories.

And the microprocessor makers for computers pushed the foundation of the personal computer industry: hardware, software, peripherals and supplies.

In summary, the contribution of Gordon E. Moore was huge. After the formulation of the Gordon's Law, millions of people with technical vocation have discovered a New World: the digital world. 04/18/2015 08:04:35 PM



MY COMMENT: The analysts comment that the Greek debt and the weak quarterly earnings produced negative reactions of the Wall Street investors on Friday April 17.

The 1.5% decline of Dow Jones Industrial Average to 17826.30 is not a Greek tragedy.

We know that when Dow Jones goes down, after that it climbs again. 04/18/2015 07:20:23 PM



MY COMMENT: ECB President Mario Draghi does not want to push Greece out of the euro-zone. However, the negative Greek attitude will continue damage Europe04/18/2015 07:09:29 PM



MY COMMENT: The resignation of Mrs. Clinton from the Clinton Foundation’s board is only a domestic formal aspect of the case.

For the governments of Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and the United Kingdom, Clinton is Clinton. If Hillary wins the election, all these countries will expect to be the “VIP” members of the foreign relations club. 5 Recommendations 04/17/2015 02:40:14 PM



MY COMMENT: The "Moore's Law" will always remain as an important milestone of the History of the Technology, despite the new advances of the digitization of the world. 3 Recommendations 04/17/2015 02:03:58 PM



MY COMMENT: The victory of Marco Rubio against the former Florida Governor Charlie Crist in 2010 was the first test of the political talent of the current Senator Rubio.

In that moment, Mr. Crist was a "hero" of the classic political environment like Hillary is today.

MY COMMENT ANSWERING TO ANOTHER MEMBER WHO SAYS MARCO RUBIO HAS NOT ENOUGH GOVERNMENT EXPERIENCE:

It is possible that Marco Rubio needs more experience to be the No.1 of a presidential formula. We have to observe him through the Republican presidential campaign.

However, Rubio is a politician that will continue growing because he has a special talent for the politics.

I remember when he announced his decision to fight for the position of the Florida Senator in direct confrontation with Mr. Crist. In that moment, Crist had all the apparatus of the Florida government in his hands, but he lost.

Rubio grew from the underground thanks his own talent. He is not a sophisticated politician and he has the capacity to defeat “Goliaths” of the politics.

By the way, in the late 1990s, Rubio served as a City Commissioner for West Miami, city of working people in the Miami Metro.

In 2000, he was elected to the Florida House of Representatives and he became Speaker of the Florida House in 2006.

In 2009, he announced that he will run for U.S. Senate and he won the Republican nomination against the Republican Governor of Florida Charlie Crist. Upset for this situation, Crist ran with no party affiliation and Rubio as Republican defeated him again. In summary, Rubio defeated the former Florida Governor Charlie Crist two times. 2 Recommendations 04/17/2015 02:20:42 PM



MY COMMENT: The Republicans need free-hypocrisy candidates: politicians who show “passion, sincerity and authenticity”. 1 Recommendation 04/16/2015 02:57:01 PM



MY COMMENT: The “Battle of Washington” looks like the fight of the “American natives” against an international coalition of foreign powers that want to put their flags around the American flag in the White House on 2016. We are returning to the times before the Independence War. 6 Recommendations 04/16/2015 02:41:27 PM



MY COMMENT: From my point of view, it is not right to mix a presidential campaign with the donations from foreign governments.

By the way, during the last two weeks, the German newspapers only talk about Hillary Clinton and her presidential campaign. Today one of the headlines of prestigious Die Zeit of Hamburg was about Hillary. Nobody talks about the other candidates. 3 Recommendations 04/16/2015 02:25:05 PM



MY COMMENT: The Iranians don't like politicians with own mind and people who know about the history of the Iranian revolution.

Till now the United States is a federal republic with 3 independent powers and with politicians who don't say: Amen, Amen, Amen to the decisions of the White House. This is a great value of our political culture. 2 Recommendations 04/15/2015 02:44:46 PM



MY COMMENT: We have to see if Nokia has the patience and intelligence to solve the problems of Alcatel-Lucent. 04/15/2015 02:41:31 PM



MY COMMENT: The EU regulators always are against American technology companies that introduce innovative software, hardware and tech tools.

The history of European complaints against American companies started long time ago against IBM, after that Microsoft, now Google and others.  1 Recommendation 04/15/2015 12:02:45 PM



MY COMMENT: Where are the defenders of women who can sleep quiet while more than 200 Nigerian girls remain in the hands of criminals and sexual traffickers? 1 Recommendation 04/14/2015 03:14:03 PM



MY COMMENT: We have to hope the Senators act with open mind and without the pressure of the White House. 1 Recommendation 04/14/2015 12:40:30 PM



MY COMMENT: The acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent will be the end of the French-American company; and probably new problems for Nokia.

As everybody who analyzes the technology industry knows, Alcatel-Lucent is a sick company since the marriage of the French Alcatel and the American Lucent.

If Nokia cannot merge Alcatel-Lucent in a right way, in two or three years the last valuable parts of the French-American company will come to the Chinese Huawei hands as a bargain. 2 Recommendations 04/14/2015 11:04:58 AM


On The Hillary Machine:  PART 1

MY COMMENT: In 2008, Hillary also had a strong machine, but she fell like Goliath due to the stone of a David. 5 Recommendations 04/13/2015 02:21:37 PM



MY COMMENT: The Democrats will commit a big mistake if they put all their “eggs” in the basket of Hillary because the money of her donors and her “machine’ do not guarantee that she will win in front of a Republican candidate. 5 Recommendations 04/13/2015 02:33:28 PM



MY COMMENT: Marco Rubio is the opposite extreme of Hillary Clinton.

Also he has experience, defeating incumbent candidates. He defeated former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist in a historic election for the US Senate.

These were the results of the Florida U.S. Senate Election 2010 when Rubio defeated Crist:

1) Marco Rubio: 2,645,743 votes (48.9%)
2) Charlie Crist: 1,607,549 votes (29.7%)
3) Kendrick Meek: 1,092,936 votes (20.2%)
4) Alexander Snitker: 24,859 votes (0.5%)
