Snow Leopard is hot

Apple made a good move by announcing that their upcoming version of Mac OS X will be named Snow Leopard. The snow leopard is already earning prices!

Who will become the next President of the USA?

Just a quick post to let you know my 2 cents.

Because of all the voting rigging that is going on, I think that John McCain will win the election.

Who is the scariest?

(Yet Another American Politic Post)

I don't trust Senator Barack Obama, somehow I think he's to glib. The way he seems to convince more than half of the American electorate by eloquently reiterating a message of hope and change, without any real substance to it, scarce me. And if he can do that, I'm sure that he can convince people of anything.

Just my two cents.

How many candidates do you know?

In the US presidential race, there are six primary candidates. However, somehow only two have access to the presidential debates on television. And since the US president is chosen based on the ammount of TV-airtime he or she has, this seems like censorship. The debates are organized by the Commision on Presidential Debates and somehow they ony let in democratic and republican candidates. To understand why, I did a little search and came up with the following; The Commision on Presidential Debates is bipartisan, meaning it is owned by the Democratic and Republican parties. None other is allowed in. So that's why almost everybody outside of the US thinks that the United States have only two political parties where in fact they have many.

This feels like censorship to me,

Slippery Oil Price (2)

Another reason for the drop in oil price could be that the powers that are in control want to punish the government of Iran. The first step was the hike in the oil price up to $147 a barrel. They also made it look that this high price was because of supply and demand and as a result they made it look that the price should remain high. This made Iran increase it spendings. The second step would then be to bring the oil price down to $60 a barrel. This will create economic havoc in Iran, as this article shows.

I do not believe that the oil price is a result of supply and demand. The supply side has dropped a bit in the past few months and the demand side is has dropped a bit as well, so the equilibrium between supply and demand is not affected. To me, it looks more and more as if the oil price is manipulated.
