Philosophical & Theological Reflections On Satirical Images: Internet Explorer

South Africa, Facebook-Travel+Leisure

























Telegraph March 17

New York Daily News: It has been reported that Eddie Hall has broken the dead lift world record. Congratulations.
Notice there is no six pack look to this man. This world-class athlete would not be the 'Hollywood hunk' on the beach would he? As I have at least alluded to online previously there is a difference between the bodybuilder build and the weightlifter build and this gentleman is a weightlifter. This gentleman likely has as over-abundance of stomach muscle which most assuredly would make him obese according to questionable medical Body Mass Index (BMI) standards and also according to Western societal 'beach' standards. For myself, I am still scaling down with sleep apnea treatments but I am physically a scaled down version of a weightlifter in appearance, and my Medical Doctor agrees with this basic assessment.  I am reminded of what a Pastor once stated back in the 1990s paraphrased: 'Make the best with what you have (physically)'. I reason this is wise spiritual and intellectual advice rather than judging self by modern Western standards and trying to achieve those.
Meaningful Beauty: I see the related television ads every late night after work. Sorry, I can clearly see the age difference. She looks her age is both photos. She appears to look after herself, granted, but I am not convinced by the 'French Doctor' hype.
Facebook: And what does Mr. T have at his house? 
Microsoft announces it is phasing out Internet Explorer which will be replaced by a new browser, but in reality did not IE phase itself out of much of the browser market over the last several years by being too slow and difficult to use? I certainly found this the case especially in comparison with Google Chrome and in the context of blogging with Blogger blogs. Internet Explorer became extremely slow and difficult to even attempt to use in a blogging context. But to be fair, Safari and especially Mozilla Firefox, in my case, were even more difficult browsers to attempt to use and so IE is still my back-up browser.
Shopia Amir-Google+:Very interesting design, but not good for sleepers with any various self-control issues...
Google+: Austria versus Australia for some of those from a certain country that gets these two nations confused...
Google/Facebook-Cited from the telegraph.co.uk, Sophie Curtis, March 17: 'Google has filed a patent application with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) for a wrist-worn device that could destroy cancer cells in the blood. The patent application, which has the name "Nanoparticle Phoresis", describes a wearable device that "can automatically modify or destroy one or more targets in the blood that have an adverse health effect". These targets could include enzymes, hormones, proteins, cells or other molecules that, when present in the blood, may affect a medical condition or the health of the person wearing the device. The wearable device is able to modify or destroy the cells by transmitting energy into the blood vessels. The transmitted energy could be a radio frequency pulse, a time-varying magnetic field, an acoustic pulse, an infrared or visible light signal. This energy brings about a physical or chemical change in the targets, with the aim of reducing or eliminating adverse health effects'. End Citations. I am hopeful for any cancer research for the benefit of human kind. But, I suppose a cancer cure patent could have trillions of potential benefits for the patent holder as well...
