Ignorance Wins: The UK commits suicide, not EU-thanasia

England wanted to EU-thanize the EU but instead has just committed economic and political suicide.  A vote based on racist and reactionary (lack of) thinking won't only separate the UK from the EU in terms of borders.

The UK banking system will be isolated, which means no EU loans, consumer protection or international banking.  It means UK citizens cannot travel, work or live in the EU.  It means UK citizens will lose the legal protections that the EU offers (environmental, economic, labour and employment rights, human rights, food and consumer safety, etc.).

The Scottish vote on separation in 2015 failed, but the possibility of voting again still exists.  Once the economic and political fallout of this vote come to pass, Scottish people will flock to the polls and will gladly return to the EU.  And you can expect Wales and Northern Ireland to choose the same route soon after. 

Within ten years, England will either become an economic basket case, the North Korea of Europe, or it will come crawling back, begging for readmittance that will only come on the EU's terms.

Ignorance Speaks: Steve Jobs displays his ignorance

I ran across a news item from 2010, and the ignorance, arrogance and ineptitude of Steve Jobs are clearly on display.  Small wonder he built a cult of personality around himself, he believed he was infallible.

Apple accused of 'discrimination' over iPhone 4
 
Apple has been accused of ''discrimination'' over the design of their iPhone 4 – amid claims that left handers find it more difficult to use.

[T] there have been complaints an antenna in the lower left corner can become masked when held by a left-handed owner, causing a drop in signal strength.

The glitch emerged in the form of videos of users demonstrating the fault on technology blogs within hours of the new iPhone going on sale in the US.

Apple boss Steve Jobs defended the gadget and declared: "Just avoid holding it in that way."

Translated: "I don't care if you are left handed, use it right handed.  Poor design by Apple's engineers are your problem, not mine."

I was never an Apple fanatic fanboy, so I never paid any attention to stories about it.  But if I ever needed an excuse not to use their overpriced and underpowered products, this is one.
