MY COMMENT: After 70 years of silence, it is a good step
from Japan that Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is starting to say: Pardon! 1
Recommendation 08/14/2015 08:16:50 AM
MY COMMENT: The 0.3% of growth of the GDP shows the
Euro-zone didn’t find the end of the tunnel till now. 08/14/2015 08:04:53 AM
MY COMMENT: We can expect the worst from the Islamic
State militants. They have a devilish mentality and they are able to use
horrible killing methods.
If somebody sells
small atomic bombs in the clandestine market, they will buy these bombs to
attack enemy targets. 1 Recommendation 08/14/2015 06:37:35 AM
MY COMMENT: Products like iPad need “ecosystems” around
to grow in the business environment.
IBM is working with
Apple in the developing of different business applications since a year ago.
Last April, Japan
Post Group, IBM and Apple introduced a special “digital package” for elderly
based on iPad. 1 Recommendation 08/13/2015 02:15:47 PM
MY COMMENT: Are Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton the only
important subjects of the last few days?
The media likes to
stir always the same issues. 1 Recommendation 08/13/2015 01:28:03 PM
MY COMMENT: During the last few weeks, different sources comment
that Vice President Joe Biden is thinking to run for 2016 presidential
election.
This possible
movement shows the Democrats are losing trust in Hillary Clinton and they don’t
want to put more “eggs” in basket of Sanders. 08/13/2015 12:39:34 PM
MY COMMENT: We have a lot of problems and the frustration
of officials who only talk but they do solve nothing. But in the industrial
sector, the Chinese have more problems of us.
Chinese have to
learn to solve their problems for themselves if they want to become the first
power of the world. 2 Recommendations 08/13/2015 11:23:25 AM
MY COMMENT: Innovation
doesn’t imply more income and richness.
How many innovative intellectuals and artists died with
hunger and without heat?
But innovative projects and creative people open new
horizons to the humanity in short or long term. 1 Recommendation 08/12/2015 03:33:28 PM
MY COMMENT: The media sometimes makes bad or good
statements about executives they don't know.
Before to make a
judgment about the new Google CEO Sundar Pichai, we have to observe how he runs
the company. 08/12/2015 12:17:29 PM
MY COMMENT: In her way, Hillary is trying to clean her
path to the White House.
Nonetheless, maybe
it is late because in the controversy of the deleted emails, she lost the respect
of a lot of independent observers. 1 Recommendation 08/12/2015 11:56:24 AM
MY COMMENT: President Obama and Xi Jinping met together
in different opportunities with few important results.
Now, before a new
meeting, some business groups want to press Mr. Obama about the Chinese
cyber-attacks.
As we saw for the
previous contacts, President Obama doesn’t have the power to change the “plans”
of China. 08/12/2015 11:31:44 AM
MY COMMENT: This story says “Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton
Keep Their Jabs to Each Other”.
Jeb Bush versus
Hillary Clinton is the ‘formula” that Wall Street Journal and other media are
trying to push for the primary.
However, after the
first Republican debate and the strong campaign of Sanders from the Democratic
side, it is early to say who will be the rivals of the 2016 primary.
A lot of
constituents are looking for something different. 1 Recommendation 08/12/2015 10:13:43 AM
MY COMMENT: IBM is very sensitive to health issues. It is
trying to put its best technology and resources through IBM Watson for the
development of original medical solutions. 08/11/2015 01:42:37 PM
MY COMMENT: Like Sergey and Larry Page wrote in the
original founders’ letter 11 years ago, “Google is not a conventional company.”
Now, Google decided
to separate its profitable business from projects with uncertain results and
new developments.
As part of this
restructuring, Google is creating a parent company named “Alphabet” to act as
the workshop of the craftsmen for new projects and the lab of special
challenges.
Welcome Alphabet! 08/11/2015 01:11:34 PM
MY COMMENT: Bloody anniversary with more casualties! 2
Recommendations 08/10/2015 02:47:43 PM
MY COMMENT: Taliban militants started a new series of
bombing attacks to show their power, while the Afghan government was trying to
make a peace agreement.
Afghanistan never will go ahead with this gloomy
panorama. Only horror and death! 08/10/2015 02:40:01 PM
MY COMMENT: It is sad to think about the deaths of WWII
(Japanese and non-Japanese), but it is terrible sad the world didn’t learn the
lesson till now. 1 Recommendation 08/09/2015 02:31:22 PM
MY COMMENT: Australia wants to stop the “pacific” invasion of
Chinese and other Asians buying houses in this country.
The properties in
hands of foreign investors are like “flags” of out countries in the domestic
territory. 3 Recommendations 08/09/2015 02:28:01 PM
MY COMMENT: When something is very smart, it is because
there are microprocessors and computers behind the “intelligence” (of the
houses, cars or tools).
In all the cases,
the problems come when the chips fail or the programs have “bugs”.
Personally, I like
to watch movies that show smart homes with systems that control everything, but
for my home, I prefer to have the control of everything: lighting, temperature,
music and security. I don’t want technology acts as my jail guard. 1 Recommendation
08/09/2015 01:53:53 PM
MY COMMENT: 3D Systems and Stratasys posted financial
results under previous expectations and immediately the Wall Street investors
put bad face.
3D printing is new
technology and the investors who want to invest in companies of this sector
must have patience. 08/09/2015 01:37:38 PM
MY COMMENT: Washington says that the commander of Iran’s elite overseas military unit Qods Force
visited Russian in secret.
After the recent
events, it is late to control the movements of the Iranians around the world
and their new “businesses” with Russia, China, Europe and Latin America.
As we know, members
of European governments are visiting Tehran with commercial goals. 08/09/2015 01:11:38 PM
MY COMMENT: It is good that France deepens its role in MH370 probe.
Nonetheless, Malaysia has not to delegate all the efforts of the
investigation in the hands of the French. 08/08/2015 03:17:50 PM
MY COMMENT: More bad reports from Afghanistan. Three bombing attacks in Kabul in less than 24 hours…
Taliban militants shake
the life of Afghanistan in the way they want. With this frame, any
peace talk will be non-sense. 3 Recommendations 08/08/2015 02:43:45 PM
MY COMMENT: After the incident between Donald Trump and the
moderator Megyn Kelly in the Cleveland debate, some conservative groups start to
react.
This is the first
hard stop that suffers Donald Trump since he began his campaign for the
Republican nomination.
Now, probably others
will point against Mr. Trump. 3 Recommendations 08/08/2015 02:28:21 PM
MY COMMENT: Donald Trump is not conservative and if he
continues in the Republican debates, he will unbalance the process of finding
the best candidate to represent the party in the 2016 presidential elections. 5
Recommendations 08/07/2015 02:46:29 PM
MY COMMENT: After the first debris from the MH370 was
identified, Malaysia says it is willing to expand the search. It
is asking for help to Australia and China.
Australia was the first that made a serious effort to
find the airplane. China never made an important action.
Like this story
remarks, Australia spent 76 million Australian dollars (US$55
million.). Malaysia only spent A$40 million and China didn’t contributed with funds.
It will be good that
Malaysia and China expand the search around Réunion Island immediately. The families of the victims –
Chinese and non-Chinese – are waiting for answers. 08/07/2015 07:18:56 AM
MY COMMENT: Till now it looks like the others have fear
to touch Trump, “The Giant”. But if somebody hits Trump hard, the “David” will
be the winner. 4 Recommendations 08/07/2015 05:57:22 AM
MY COMMENT: The position of Sen. Chuck Schumer against
the Iran nuclear deal put down all the arguments of
President Obama defending the agreement that his administration signed with Iran.
Probably, the opposition
of a prominent Democrat like Schumer is the worst slap in his face that
received Barack Obama in the last times. 3 Recommendations 08/07/2015 01:48:00 AM
