You cannot make the weak strong by making the strong weak!

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before but had once failed an entire class. That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
 
The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on socialism. All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A.

After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. 
The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. 
 
As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.  The second test average was a D! No one was happy.
 
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.

The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. 
 
All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great but when government takes the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.

Could not be any simpler than that.

What a profound short little paragraph that says it all:

"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for,that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it." Dr. Adrian Rogers, 1931

This however is happening in Malaysia.

Teo Beng Hock's Murderers

Once a lap dog, now MACC is an assassin for UMNO!

We have a VVIP punched by IGP in police custody..
We have a Kugan tortured until dead after he walked into police station..
We have children being "Take-Away" in "Bungkusan" after they join NS training....
We have a Mongolian Altantuya killed by C4 explosive but the murderer arrested not even have the motive of murdering...
And now we have an Opposition Representative's Aide throw from 20 floor by MACC.

Very strange circumstances:

• A person to be married tomorrow and is not even the accused committed suicide?
• Interrogated until 4.00am and allowed to loiter in MACC office where all the sensitive documents on politicians, underworld figures and ministers are kept? Tell that to a kid.
• He did not want to go home even he has his own car downstairs? Is MACC that cozy and comfortable until a person who has been interrogated for a straight 8 hours to the wee morning hours that he doesn't want to go home. Tomorrow was his wedding day and he doesn't want to go home to make preparations for the big day?
• Why was his clothing torn?
• Why was he on the opposite block of building when he died? If anything happens in MACC building would be too obvious isn't it? So he was brought to the next block of building and pushed down.

THE PEOPLE are crying out for JUSTICE!
Not some half cooked propaganda sloganism called 1Malaysia.

iPhone 3G S vs Jailbroken iPhone

If you didn’t yet know, Apple has revealed the iPhone 3G S, the S stands for Speed. It is now faster, cheaper and you finally get a better battery.

That said, should any of us who are using the jailbroken iPhone 2G or 3G ditch our old girlfriend for this new sexy model?

Improved Battery life:  Apple claims that the iPhone 3G S will get 9 hours of web surfing now when on WiFi — that’s up from 6 hours on the current iPhone. 3G talk time will be the same 5 hours now though. If you are frustrated with your current girlfriend who can only give you juice for 5 hours it’s not the end of the world. There is a much cheaper option available than to ditch her. Pay RM75 and get a Lenmar Portable Charger. It will give you another 5 hours of use while charging. That is if you don’t mind some dangling wires.

3 Megapixel Camera: Although it is great to finally have a 3Megapixel Camera with Video on the 3GS, it’s just 1Mega pixel! Although it has the added autofocus function, it’s not much of a difference in reality to a 2Megapixel camera. Besides, with editing app like SP Photo Fix on the iPhone, some of the picture quality can be improved with a few touches.

Video recording: The iPhone 3GS camera also supports video recording. However, those of us using Jailbroken iPhones have been recording videos on Cycorder for a long time!

Voice memos: Although the 3G S is equipped with voice memo app, jailbroken iPhones users can use AudioMemo Pro. Again nothing new.

Landscape keyboard: Again, another feature that already is present in Jailbroken iPhones.

Cut, copy, and paste messages. I hope this means we can forward SMS. However, if you have iRealSMS app in Cydia, your old girlfriend already can forward SMS. But if you need to cut and paste a lot, there is an app called ShapeWriter Pro that can do the same.

What your current girlfriend can’t do:

• Spotlight search: As far as I know, nothing currently available in Cydia.
• Voice Control: You can say things like “Call Bob” — if there were is more than one entry it will ask which one you want. You can also say “play Oasis” or any other movie/audio you want to play. You can also ask “What’s playing now” or say “Play more songs like this” and a genius playlist will be created.
• Compass:  The digital Compass app shows your orientation, integration with Maps — if you double click the map  reorientates itself.

The announced price of USD199 for the 16G and USD 299 for 32G although is attractive, it comes with a 24 months contract. Now, that means the actual cost of ownership is a lot more. The lowest rate at AT&T is USD70 a month and that’s an additional USD 1,680. Total cost of ownership is around USD 1900 (RM 6,800) for 2 years.

With Maxis, the cost of ownership for a iPhone 3G is around RM3,000 without the plan (on Hotlink). So don’t get caught by the USD199 and USD299 gimmick, the new iPhones will cost around RM2,500-RM3,000 if Maxis slash their iPhone 3G down.

Those who just bought the iPhone3G from Maxis and are bound by their 1 year or 2 year plan like my Bro-in-law will now be crying foul! Hahaha....
