Explosions

Boom! BOOOM! Huge explosion at Tianjin, China a couple weeks ago. Gotta see some video footage to see the power of the blast. Search for it in youtube. For example, here.

Now lots and lots of questions remain and probably never be answers. The government has always been known for reporting much smaller number of deaths than actual numbers. Why? How come so much explosives stored in one place and so close to residential area? So do the firemen even know that there are such chemical things that should not be put out by water and water caused it to explode bigger? Cyanide... why are there so much of these things there. How bad has the air and water been contaminated? So many questions so little answers... OMG, the new cars' tires are melted... some people may have vaporized.

When someone asked a very legitimate question on live news conference: "According to regulations, how far away should hazardous materials be stored from residents?". The broadcast has stopped! This is really a shame. See here. And dude, 1 km is not a very long distance even if that law is enforced.

Thailand explosion is another recent story... probably has something to do with terrorists. I'm like come on. Leave regular people alone! Enough of this non-sense!

Now was Tianjin explosion an accident? or terrorist attack? Any other dangerous ports out there?

Hello Windows 10

Ok, installed Windows 10. It took about 2 hours. The new browser Edge first refuses to open, all I see is the IE logo. Then it starts to work well. During installation process you can tweak some settings otherwise everything you ever do will get sent to Microsoft (perhaps they collect your info anyway)

I think the only suggestion I have for Microsoft is not to use the same IE logo.

Overall this is a positive upgrade. Seems not to occupy disk space that much. Things work smoother. I get mysterious quiet crashes from Metro apps and haven't seen one yet. It will get a while to get used to.

I like thoughtful things. Putting File Explorer in start menu is good idea.

Now I get a search box right next to Start button. Hope that can be moved. I only want short cuts to my apps in the bottom. Whacking the charm bar is a good thing. Now the start button pull in News items and stuff. Well I think I want news only from the News app... do not need distraction.

The entire windowing UI is different now... Launch notepad.exe to see what I mean. Seems not as natural as previous versions.

I wonder what will I talk to Cortana about. Will try to talk to "her" later.

Making America great again?

Look at Trump... he is the front runner (but at just 26%). News here. I am kinda surprised that Jeb is that far behind.

This guy recently made eyebrow-raising comments offensive to Mexicans and POW like John McCain... and gosh a lot more. See some http://presidential-candidates.insidegov.com/stories/5187/23-ridiculously-offensive-donald-trump-quotes.

Why the heck is he leading in polls? I don't get it, politics.

But look this guy IS hugely successful, at least in the amount of money he has... he definitely knows how to do something right.

But will he truly know how to make American 'great' again?

Given the outrageous things he says... I do not think so. If trend continues to go like this it will be Trump against Hillary.

And I would predict Hillary victory if that's the case. Waita minute it could be Trump vs Biden. I am a bit doubtful that Biden will win over Hillary. Waita minute she has her own hard-to-explain emails. So prepare to see another chapter of American history negative ads blasting each other.

So I guess Trump is leading in polls because people want to hear more ridiculous comments... It seems only ridiculous comments get attention these days.

Is there a presidential candidate that truly can make America great again? To maintain world peace... to curb global warming... to lower that national debt.. to prosper the economy...

Nobody can do it all.
