iFaceBook or iFacePad

Tech Gizmos and Lingos are growing over me like a sea wave. I never seem to catch up.
However when i reflect back, Does iPhone really make my life any better ?
a. I still have my old phone which is in fine fettle.
b. when I will end up using iphone i might end up using more data services
c. I might be left out in the race to the newest gizmo...i might appear to folks as an old fashioned guy. !!! I hate that but that does not mean I should keep buying gizmos endlessly mindlessly ?

iPad is one such product which many ppl use nowadays when they wait at the Doctors queue or at the Train stations. I see that instead of socializing it actually is making a person switch himself off from others near him. Good or Bad I dont know.

comign to Facebook, I get so many messages from friends on FB. I try not to use it since Social Networking is bit addictive like say you tube. If I get very active on FB and say do not message my other friends on FB it might be taken as a rude thingy.
So I try to avoid FB as much as possible. [ its not working out too well though I must say :) ]

WiKi Leaks is Over Rated

I feel the Wikileaks is over rated. Simply when compared to the Chinese hack exploit.
The Chinese hacked into US & indian government computers and got more than WiKiLeaks could imagine. These are from the known accounts of breakins by chinese.
To add to the list is the hacking of google & gmail servers. Imagine the wealth of information.

It is no wonder the Chinese Government is scared of WL.

If WikiLeaks manages to get hold of the wealth of Information China has pilfered from different government computers then its a bigger problem waiting to happen :).
