Impending Doom.

An excerpt from the Guardian article:
Your honour, it’s about those Facebook photos of you at 20 …

Imagine how different it will be for the politicians of the future who are at school or university today. The bulk of them use their MySpace and Facebook entries for self-advertisement, social networking and the generally raw process of growing up and working out their identities. With the aid of these sites, they are the first generation who can tell you precisely how many ‘friends’ they have. They are also the first generation whose sexual adventures, drug taking, immature opinions and personal photographs are indelibly recorded electronically.

So this is what’s going to happen to me because I have no qualms in talking about my personal life on the internet. I’ll be running for elections, and the opposition party will have some prehistoric Facebook or Orkut scraps published and distributed as pamphlets at every street of the country.

No wonder I’ve been filled with a sense of impending doom for a month now.

iPhone, iLust.

So the funniest debates on the internet right now are definitely the Cisco v/s Apple wars, the iPhone v/s every other phone out there war and the gazillion people [including yours truly] who are simply drooling with lust in their eyes at this sexy new invention by the geniuses at Apple, but I know I’ll never be able to use the phone to its fullest unless I switch to Warid or something since Maybe-link is pms-ing 24/7, especially today when all my SMS’ decided to descend upon my desperately in need of service cell phone like an avalanche leaving me wondering who i could sue in case my cell phone caused the dreaded carpal tunnel syndrome to return again.

So on a serious note, I hear that the iPhone’s going to be available in July. My birthday is in June, and I don’t mind waiting a month for a birthday present, really.
