Windows Vista a Disappointment

Posted by Karel Donk on Tuesday, January 30th, 2007

Now that Windows Vista has officially been launched and is available, I want to give my thoughts on it as a product. And as you can see from the title of this post, it’s not going to be very positive. If you’ve been reading my previous posts on Windows Vista, you already know most of […]

Be careful with where you get your information from!

Posted by Karel Donk on Sunday, January 28th, 2007

We have to be increasingly more careful with where we get our information from these days. It seems that it becomes more and more difficult to be able to rely on the media, even the mainstream sources. A lot of people still believe that if something is reported in the media, it has to be […]

Microsoft on Content Protection in Vista

Posted by Karel Donk on Tuesday, January 23rd, 2007

Charlie Demerjian continues to give Microsoft a hard time regarding the new DRM technologies introduced in Windows Vista. It seems Microsoft officially responded on the official Windows Vista Blog to a paper posted by Peter Guttman not too long ago. Read Demerjian’s article before you continue to read this post.
It’ll probably be no surprise to […]

I’m still taking pictures, just so you know

Posted by Karel Donk on Sunday, January 21st, 2007

It’s been a while since my last post on my photography adventures and I thought it was time for another update. I’ve postponed this for a few weeks now and today I finally said to myself “If you don’t put up this post today, you’re not allowed to view the rest of the Matrix Trilogy […]

If you have nothing to lose, you can only win

Posted by Karel Donk on Monday, January 15th, 2007

When you think about it, it’s amazing how many issues around the world are caused because of people being afraid of what they have to lose, either right now or further in the future. This is not only true on a global scale, but also on a personal level. Many problems can be avoided if […]

HD-DVD a clear Winner

Posted by Karel Donk on Friday, January 12th, 2007

In a previous post I mentioned how I would never, ever, buy HD-DVD content and that if I did, I hoped I would get struck by lightning that very instant. Well it looks like I might have to take that back, and probably risk getting struck by lightning in the future too.
It seems the porn […]

I LOVE the Ag-Cat

Posted by Karel Donk on Tuesday, January 9th, 2007

I went to my birthplace Nw. Nickerie today. It’s a 3,5 hour drive from Paramaribo where I live now. It’s been more than 6 years since I last went there so it was about time. I stayed for about 5 hours and then came back to Paramaribo. I had to go for work related stuff. […]

Piracy, The Better Choice

Posted by Karel Donk on Tuesday, January 2nd, 2007

As crazy as this may sound, we’re heading into a time when it seems like piracy is going to be the better choice compared to legally owning content. The Inquirer’s Charlie Demerjian explains why this will be the case in a recent article. Head on over and read the article. If you haven’t yet done […]
