Bigger does not mean better

December 4th, 2005

“Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius — and a lot of courage — to move in the opposite direction.”
–Albert Einstein

Wow, this is so true. I mean, if you look at Windows v. *nix, SUV v. MINI, and Ghandi (can’t believe I just said/typed this, for I know near nothing about him) v. current-day-U-S-of-A, it seems that everyone is aiming to be bigger and badder, yet they overlook the benefits of being gentle, small, agile, etc.

Well, here’s a good read for the weekend: Click Here
A quote from the above link:

Jettas are safe because they make their drivers feel unsafe. S.U.V.s are unsafe because they make their drivers feel safe. That feeling of safety isn’t the solution; it’s the problem.

Here’s a sign that America is awakening. Hopefully more will see the light.

Interesting A rant, but a very interesting and true one. We should really take a look at what America is becoming.

Even Mr. Paul Thurrott, long time MS-Win advocate, is seeing the light gradually.

And, to all those rushing to send in their college apps, like me, good luck, and remember to send them in early, to avoid any possible problems like the UC server crashes :P
