Electricity, MacWorld, cable TV, …………….

The chimpish conspiracy is gaining momentum…............ We had powercuts for well over 6 hours earlier today, and ze power company (one of ze ugly places where chimps have gone from being in Govt control, to being in private control under a company which has 90% chimp infestation) forgot to send neone to check out what was wrong for ze first 5.5 hrs, ‘coz it was a localized power cut and zey weren’t much concerned abt it….............. And then to top it all, power was gone for another hr a little later, and all becoz ze chimps hate 2 c ze panda stand against their conspiracy…...... Zey forget zat ze panda’s comp can run for reasonably long periods of time without electricity and though ze panda usually has to sacrifice ze music he so loves hearing while working, other work is hardly disrupted, so EAT UR HEARTS OUT CHIMPS, ‘coz ze panda stilllllllllll survives….............

Hmm MacWorld’s product releases r over, and well the only two interesting things did happen was the release of Xgrid Tech Preview, which I kindda like for its grid abilities and Microsoft announcing new versions of Office and Messenger which I fortunately do use….. The announcement abt ze mini-ipods wasn’t really all that gr8 ‘coz if I had to spend $249 for one of these I’d much rather spend $50 more for the 15 gb iPod, and I don’t much care abt skin colors since I pretty much loved ze plaid look of ze original ipod…........... Though since ze iPod isn’t within $150 mark, its unlikely zat I’ll be getting netime soon, and zat is sadddddddddddd ‘coz what excited me abt ze mini-iPod rumors was zeir price & nuthing else, me guess zat apple has also been affected by ze chimp conspiracy ray and despite all my efforts to get ray deflectors installed at their offices in time, ze ray somehow managed to get thru…........ BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…......... Apple also release iLife ‘04 but since I don’t really play around with sound loops, don’t do ne sot of video editing, and ze only iLife product I really use is iTunes which is always gonna be freely available, I m pretty unaffected by zis new launch though my friend who’s wayyyyyyy better at ze artsy pars of computers than I probably evr shud be is pretty excited abt its release…..

For ze first time in my life someone praised me in an email from an admission office, either I m slipping into some sort of a trance and reading my mail all wrong, or I have just got proof zat admission offices worldwide don’t employ rhesuses or ne sort of automated system relying on primates to answer mails, ‘coz Queen’s just sent me a nice mail which says zat “Your SAT results are excellent and I congratulate you on your achievement.” and though I knew my SAT scores were excellent I never believed zat ne college on ze face of ze Earth would send me an e-mail saying zat…........ Me am happy abt zis development, & hope zat zis means zat me am gonna be admitted at Queen’s (not deferred or rejected)........................... Hmm, though strangely no such mails from ne of ze american universities, which is scary ‘coz zat cud mean zat my SAT results rnt excellent enuf for those guys and that’d be sad…......

Also ze culture cops r back on TV, though zese cops don’t work like the Iranian version of culture cops, rather relying on high licensing fees, near 0 possibility of uplinking from abroad, and other such niceties to enforce their control…. Lemme give u ze whole story….. In days of old when dark times ruled ze earth, a single channel owned by ze chimpish government used to broadcast mindless propaganda and some pretty cool programs that it borrowed from American TV, but then as time wore on zis government channel became darker and stuck to broadcasting mindless propogandaless droning so as to turn good ppl and pandas alike into zombies….. Then ze dark lords empire fell and all world was united in celebration as dark times were slowly replaced by a time of hope (though little peace), a time of great changes, and dancing bearish chancellors and presidents whom u didn’t really wanna hug, and ze ppl in India cried for an opportunity to celebrate as much as everyone else, and ze government said zey cud goto hotels and do so….... Zen came ze mooostached guy and ex-intelligence daddy turned president who decided to box like giants did in ze times of old, shaking ze whole world in ze process, and 100s of indians who were rich enuf to afford it went to hotels, and rooms became unavailable and ppl coming in from outside had to find camping ground with great difficulty, so ze government in a single sweep opened cable tv for the populace, and made it something for ze rich and ze intellectual english speaking ppl…... Some yrs passed, and chimpish governments suddenly realized that zey weren’t earning much from zis cable phenomenon so zey pu tin high licensing fees and prohibited uplinking, so half ze channels shifted over to hindi, leaving ze panda without much to watch…...... Time heals everything and a few good ppl started channels with english content only, content which ze panda grew to love and watch religiously…..... And zen came ze Conditional Access System, which started changing dynamics agian, and umm it turns out zat hindi’s raising its head again with AXN broadcasting atleast 4 hrs worth of hindi programing since early yesterday evening, and though zis hindi programming is interspersed with english programs, zis change in programing can mean nuthin good for ze panda….... SAD, just another part of ze chimpish conspiracy I guess, wonder how zis story wud end, with ze introduction of DTH and HDTV which wud ensure english only programming, or an eventual shift of all english watching ppl like ze panda to either downloading or buying english programing on DVD (Alias is avl on DVD, as is Friends).......... Whatever it is ze chimps r 2 blame for ze current problems, and me hate zat…...

Ze Panda
Wondering abt ze telly and still waiting for a sub$150 iPod….....
