BLOG COMMENTS: 2015/06/23 - 2015/06/30



MY COMMENT: After a turbulent period since former CEO Carly Fiorina led the Compaq acquisition, now the current CEO Meg Whitman is leading the split of H-P in two companies: HP Inc. (PCs and printers) and Hewlett Enterprise (enterprise tools and solutions).

The technology giant did not work properly selling a big variety of consumer and enterprise products together.

But till now, it is early, to know if the new formula will give the possibility that the two new companies grow well, or this step will be the path to the grave of the enterprise that long time ago the friends Hewlett and Packard started in a small garage of Palo Alto, California. 1 Recommendation 06/30/2015 01:24:25 PM



MY COMMENT: The news comments about the demonstrations in the capital of Armenia against the increase of the cost of the electricity and the relationships of the utility provider with Russia.

We have to hope that the Armenians solve their problems among them, without the intervention of others.

A new civil war like the Ukrainian conflict could complicate the political future of a region with a very bloody past. 1 Recommendation

MY COMMENT: This story titled “How Global Threats Have Crowded Obama’s Diplomacy Agenda” is a review of the foreign relations agenda of the Obama Administration and the main international events since 2009.

It shows that during the period of the current Administration nearly nothing was settled in the right way because the Obama agenda crashed against a series of events out of control of the American government.

Also the possible nuclear agreement with Iran and the new foreign relations with Cuba are two events that nobody knows what implications will have in the future from a political perspective.

In summary old and new problems remain without solution and the horizon looks gloomy.

MY COMMENT: We see in the photos of the last news that Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and its financial partner till now smile like all runs well. From the other side, we can observe the terrible faces of the elders and poor retirees, who are the first victims of this financial earthquake.

Again when the politicians make promises without foundation, they generate more social problems that solutions. 2 Recommendations 06/29/2015 02:16:40 PM



MY COMMENT: It is not surprise that Puerto Rico is living a serious financial problem. The island, the U.S. commonwealth, saw the decline of its economy long time ago.

But till now always the central government helped it. We have to see how will happen now…2 Recommendations 06/29/2015 01:37:23 PM



MY COMMENT: The bombing attack against the convoy of the Egypt’s top prosecutor Hisham Barakat shows that the terrorists go to any place when the target is to kill a top official and the security measures don’t help.

The "modus operandi" of the terrorists makes difficult to avoid the murder of who receives a death threat of a terror organization. 1 Recommendation 06/29/2015 01:11:15 PM



MY COMMENT: It is evident that the Greek crisis will complicate the situation to everybody.

However, the European Union cannot put down the rules for Greece. After that, it will have to act in the same way to help Spain, Portugal and others.

If all continue like now, the financial chaos would hit the rest of Europe, United States and everyone linked with these countries in businesses.

For this reason, it would be better if the Greeks accept the austerity plan instead of burn European Union flags and make unrest. 1 Recommendation 06/29/2015 10:26:02 AM



MY COMMENT: Elon Musk has a lot of success in his businesses of the Earth, but in his spatial plans, the situation looks complicated.

The explosion of the SpaceX’s Falcon 9 Rocket is the second failure of an entrepreneur with ambitions that climb to sky. 1 Recommendation 06/28/2015 03:35:41 PM



MY COMMENT: Again Iran in the news! The negotiations of the nuclear-deal have a new delay.

The Iranians want to gain the game for the tiredness of the other negotiators. 1 Recommendation 06/28/2015 03:22:55 PM



MY COMMENT: The Greek financial crisis is entering a new more painful cycle. When they don’t have more euros, they will have to deal with “stones” like in the Ancient Times. 4 Recommendations 06/28/2015 02:56:57 PM



MY COMMENT: The Islamic State is the United Nations of Terror. 1 Recommendation 06/28/2015 02:46:48 PM



MY COMMENT: Nothing new! The deadly blasts are part of the life in Baghdad and Kabul. 06/27/2015 04:52:22 PM



MY COMMENT: French President François Hollande has a lot of big problems in his hands now. The U.S. eavesdropping is an annoyance, but nothing more. 06/27/2015 04:36:44 PM



MY COMMENT: This second terrorist attack in short time is killing the tourism industry of Tunisia. Nobody will want to travel there.

Serious problem for the African country and a new warning for the western tourists who make vacations in resorts of the Islamic countries! 1 Recommendation 06/27/2015 04:19:21 PM



MY COMMENT: The story says that the top military officer for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization thinks Russia will consolidate its position on the eastern part of Ukraine.

His opinion is right. The American heavy weapons and tanks across a series of countries of the Eastern Europe give a new justification to President Putin to conduct military operations inside Ukraine.

And this could be the start of a new “cold war”.1 Recommendation 06/26/2015 03:02:40 PM



MY COMMENT: After the Supreme Court statement about the gay marriage, President Obama is happy for second time in the week.

But the country will remain divided for a long period. The 5-4 decision of the Supreme Court doesn’t change the mind of the people who was against the gay marriage before.

MY COMMENT: The new attacks in France, Tunisia and Kuwait are serious alerts that confirm the Islamist terrorism is spreading through different places. The terrorists want to create a massive panic. Cruel way to manipulate the free world! 1 Recommendation 06/26/2015 02:30:56 PM



MY COMMENT: President Obama said the government will not pay ransoms for American hostages, but it will open to advice their families.

The new decision about the Americans kidnapped by terrorist organizations could complicate more the situation…06/25/2015 03:29:43 PM



MY COMMENT: The statement of the U.S. Intelligence Chief James Clapper suggesting that China is behind the OPM breach doesn’t solve the case of the thousands of Social Security numbers stole.

Meanwhile, nobody is talking about initiatives to block new cyber-attacks. Maybe the Chinese are planning something more. 06/25/2015 03:05:59 PM



MY COMMENT: After the 6-3 votes of the U.S. Supreme Court supporting the Affordable Care Act, President Obama smiles… The lobby for the “Yes” worked well. 3 Recommendations 06/25/2015 02:34:56 PM



MY COMMENT: Bobby Jindal, Welcome to the Republican parade! Everybody has the right to look for the nomination, but only one will be nominated. By the way, this Republican campaign will stressful.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is the son of Indian immigrants. His professional and political backgrounds are strong. He is Catholic like Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and Santorum. 7 Recommendations 06/24/2015 02:12:57 PM
