We present to you the Star Wars Rap, a rap about the film Star Wars. This is the apex of our culture and will be remember as the high water mark for Western thought, a sort of Jungian tipping point.
I want to be able to tell my children when this happened – if we survive the coming Dark Ages that this must inevitably produce.
Make sure your product is precise through the accuracy of lasers.
Using reverse engineering, any object can be precisely scanned and then tested for accuracy. When it comes to contract inspection, there’s nothing more precisely measured than lasers. Whether your testing the dimensions of a small component or the integrity of a skyscraper, laser scanning delivers accurate information conveniently through non-evasive measures.
Once scanned, the data is directly compared to the nominal CAD model to test for inaccuracies. It takes away the element of human mistake. Lasers have immaculate precision, taking out all the guesswork as well as the potential of human error. It can even be used for items that demonstrate a light tolerance, since the only element the objects come in contact with are lightwaves.
It’s a far simpler and more accurate form of contract inspection. You don’t need to take the object apart or even move it from its site. Reverse engineering provides the information you need through convenient means. It takes seconds but delivers accurate data you can rely on.
It’s always best to go with a laser inspection company that has complete certification. Since accuracy is money, getting it perfect comes down to your bottom line. Minimize wastes by getting it perfect the first time, every time. Product inspection that doesn’t implement laser technology is in the Dark Ages.
Whether your inspecting a coal mine, a highway, or a small component, laser scanning delivers accuracy you can rely on every time. Some things are too large or dangerous to traditionally scan. Lasers, however, shrink the job down to size so you have the exact dimensions without the hassle and danger of traditional inspection.
Lasers are the future, and they’re revolutionizing the current state of product modeling. You can have a model that’s as good as the prototype, inspect products to make sure they’re exactly right, and inspect products and items for damage. There’s nothing more accurate than the precision of lasers, delivering the exact specs you need to know if you got it exactly perfect.
Has it ever come to mind as to how your wonderful guitar was made? Truth to be told, when the guitar was first invented, it didn’t really look like the kind of guitar that we know today. It has had quite a history that dates back to the forgotten civilizations of the Mesopotamian era.
The very first guitar that was invented actually comes from Iraq, about the span of two millennia after which it reappears again. Iraq was formerly known as Mesopotamia. In the vicinity of an excavation area, archaeologists discovered some caves with drawings of humans with what appeared to be string like instruments resembling a guitar. Another stringed instrument, resembling the guitar of today, was found in a tomb after the expansion of the Roman Empire a couple thousand years later.
The dark ages also show that their version of the guitar was pretty popular too. The two designs that were most widely used were of either French or of German influence. One design had a sound hole, a round belly and a stout neck.In contrast to the first design, the second was more angular in appearance. In certain English church ruins and tombs, a few of these instruments were discovered inside. It is assumed that these were the influence brought upon by the Moors in the early 8th century when they came to Europe.
Spain, being one of the first places to be invaded by the Moors, became the heart of the development of the guitar. The initial model of the guitar that garnered attention was the Vihuela, with twelve frets. People then started writing tabs for these instruments so it could be easily played by anyone. Like the lute, the guitar became the instrument of choice during the resistance. If you brood over it, the guitar’s present image was made from these actions of the past.
In between the 17th and 18th century, the guitar became even more popular because of Louis XIV. It became a novelty among the European elite to master the art of guitar playing. About a century later, we see that the guitar has evolved into the same kind of guitar we see on every street corner and stage today. The guitar’s popularity soared until it reached America, with the rest of the world soon to follow.
We have finally reached modern times, where everyone started to acknowledge the guitar. Self-expression through the guitar became a huge fad. People started idolizing and recognizing talented guitarists; music played through the guitar was the new in thing. As more and more people wanted to hear the guitar in songs, musicians wanted more from the guitar – they wanted it louder and stronger. It was because of it that guitar manufacturers developed the electric guitar. Be it country, folk or rock, guitars are the number one choice for anyone starting a career in music.
Throughout time, transcending cultures, the guitar and the guitarist share a special bond between the two of them. Whether it is to vent out or relax, the guitar is still the number one instrument to use, no matter what.

John pooh poohs Google Chrome OS, just like he pooh poohed the Palm Pre. John’s a smart guy, and has some good insights into the technology world. But on the issue of Google Chrome OS, I think he’s wrong. Google isn’t in the operating system market, it’s in the software services market. The easier Google can make it to get to their hosted applications, the more customers they’ll have. To paraphrase Larry Ellison’s famous quote, “the web is the operating system”.
I’ve been watching my friends and family struggle with computers for years. Not a single one of them really cares about what operating system they use. What they care about is doing something with their computer. The operating system is the interface through which they can do stuff. Invariably it gets in their way, and causes nothing but frustration. People don’t care about their operating system because they don’t care about their computer. Just like they don’t care about their cars, or any other household appliance. People grudgingly add more RAM to their systems because they get bogged down with antivirus software, and printer monitor utilities to remind them they’re out of paper, and all sorts of useless doodads that suck up system resources without providing any value to the experience of using the computer. “This thing’s only a year old, and already it’s so slow!”
In the dark ages of personal computer history, everyone wanted to use Microsoft Publisher to make fliers and calendars and what not. People used Microsoft Works, or ClarisWorks, or WordPerfect, or whatever it was that came bundled with their PC in order to print up phone directories for their churches, or whatever. Printing in color was a luxury. But dammit, we were happy! We didn’t have to update our antivirus software every day. We didn’t have to run spyware scans regularly, or worry about the Windows registry getting corrupted. Our computers worked, by and large, because the operating systems stayed out of our way and let us use the applications that we wanted to use.
Now, in the Internet era, everyone’s using Facebook and Twitter and web-based email. No one cares how they access Facebook, as long as they can access Facebook. Regular people might have a minor preference for Microsoft Internet Explorer, or Mozilla Firefox, but at the end of the day no one’s going to not use Facebook just because the computer they’re using doesn’t have their favorite browser installed.
And here’s where Google’s Chrome OS represents a significant shift. To do stuff on Facebook, or other hosted applications, you don’t need all the hooplah of a traditional desktop computer. You don’t need a “real” computer with gobs of local storage. Facebook is your storage. Google Docs is your storage. You don’t need a device with Bluetooth to check your Windows Live email. You don’t need a full operating system, you just need a browswer. If you can pare down the OS, you can pare down all the requisite crap that we’ve come to associate with modern (Windows-based) computers. If you don’t have a full OS, what do you need a virus scanner for? Why do you need user accounts on the computer if the sites to which you connect enforce user accounts and permissions for you? Why do you need to constantly update your operating system with patches? Because it’s a complex, multi-purpose device. It doesn’t need to be, though. A single-purpose appliance (like the CrunchPad!) is more economical for the casual Internet user. It will be less frustrating for the end user because it will get in their way less. The user will be able to do stuff without being interrupted by the operating system.
Obviously, there will always be a need for traditional computers. If thin clients were the be-all-end-all of the computing world, someone like Citrix would have long ago replaced Microsoft as the dominant player. The appliance model doesn’t work for people who need to work while in an airplane, for example. Businesses, entrepeneurs, and freelancers will still need local storage, and the ability to work without network access. Parents may still want user accounts to restrict what their kids can and can’t do. But for a huge population of computer users, Google’s Chome OS — and no doubt countless hangers-on that will follow — provides everything they need.
