Just some shots of calling and a thought on google in China.
Well this is the brave new world we live in, anno 2006 now. Look on the left: a guy in China that masks his face and voice on TV in order not to end up in jail in fear for his government, because he put some software on the market that allows people to surf freely on the internet, without going through the chinese firewall… (I guess it’s called freegate or sth. stuff like anonymizer and so on). This is worse than terrorism if you ask me.
Imagine talking to somebody who cannot see your typepad weblog, that can only search on certain keywords. Pfff and a person who’s Skype or VoIP gets censored. And this is how I do my phonecalls lately. Sitting on the couch, webcam on and the other side fullscreen on the laptop. Simply
amazing. And I am not using MSN Messenger 8. I use Skype. Faster, better and cheaper. We seem to be back in cold war scenario’s with spies and intrigue. Same game, different name. Every time somebody from the states calls me I suspect jokingly that they are from a 3–letter word security company. It’s the first thing I think, sorry to say so. I don’t like gnomes from all sides to be having the possibility to look into personal communications. I just don’t like it. I never liked it. Do you? I think people who find pleasure to categorically look into all other people’s drawers and categorize all they find «in case off» should go for a medical check-up. Oh well… It’s nothing new.
