I have reached the limits of my Galaxy Note, just like I did with the Huawei Honor. The Huawei is history due to lack of sufficient hardware to keep up with the software changes. The Galaxy Note is fast approaching that same fate. So I use it as a daily driver and have settled onContinue reading From Russia: CheckRom and My Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000…

Looks like it is going to happen and Amazon has seen the writing on the wall in America and new tax regulations. Amazon has opened the app store up very soon to 200 countries and now they are building a huge warehouse and shipping center in Russia.

I have always loved tractors of all type. This tractor (BKK-2) is not a tracked bulldozer, but is able to be a bulldozer, per its special wheels and that also allows it to have regular tires put on it and run the paved highways… Designed specifically for solid waste compaction applications on landfill sites, oneContinue reading From Russia: ChTZ unveils BKK-2 new wheeled dozer-compactor…

LONDON – The Boston bombing was major blowback. That much is certain. The question is, what level of blowback? It could have been a covert op gone real bad. It could have been blowback from former ”freedom fighters” – in this case ethnic Chechens – reconverted into terra-rists.

The American National Security State failed to protect the American people yet again, this time in Boston, Massachusetts. Twelve years of ramping up federal, state and local venues with billions of dollars worth of anti-terrorism training, intelligence fusion centers, and equipment was for nought.
