A flaw in the evolution theory

Κι αν η αγάπη ανήκει κι αυτή στην αιώνια προσπάθεια του ανθρώπου να αντισταθεί στη μοίρα του?
Αυτή και μόνο αντιτίθεται στον ανθρώπινο νόμο. Εκεί όπου ο κάθε άνθρωπος γεννιέται και πεθαίνει μόνος..
Ίσως βρίσκοντας το άλλο του μισό, στο μεσοδιάστημα,
να αντισταθμίζει τα δυο αυτά γεγονότα στα οποία δεν έχει δικαίωμα παρέμβασης.

Θα μπορούσε να πρόκειται για μια ανάγκη να απαρνηθεί την ύπαρξη ξένου δάκτυλου στη ζωή του, να πιστέψει στις δικές του δυνάμεις για τον έλεγχο της ζωής του.
Αλλά αν ήταν έτσι γιατί εφευρίσκει Θεούς.

..Μπορεί ακόμη και η κατά τα άλλα πλήρης, αλλά μοναδική οντότητα να είναι ανολοκληρωτη?
Τελικά πιθανόν η εξήγηση να είναι απλούστερη. Κατασκευαστικό λάθος, αυτό είναι. Και ούτε σκέψη για βελτιώσεις, το εργοστάσιο εκλείσε από καιρό.

How Apple Got Everything Right By Doing Everything Wrong

"Collaboration"... another word for "Internet"

What is the actual idea of the Internet?...to join all world computers in a single network.
But what’s the advantage to join them if they can combine forces..That is where collaboration comes.

Internet applications were a bit late actually to understand the need for building applications were netizens can contribute in a task accomplishment without having to go down the familiar road of making file changes -> e-mail -> get the reviewed version, -> track changes -> accept/reject changes ...and all over again.

Parallel work not vertical. So the most known tools are nowadays starting to use the internet, than be used, in their all new a collaborative-suit. For example...

Office tools:
Microsoft Office, threaten by the very user friendly (as always) Google Docs (which first recognized the need), advanced to Microsoft office 2007 with much more sharing and collaborating features.

Organization tools:
Mind map like the first Freemind applications started becoming deemed to managers of all kinds, (but especially in the IT sector)some years back, but they still were single-person files. Their transformation lead the next step like Mindmeister and WiseMapping, where you do all the work from your browser with no need of any application download and every advantage of sharing along and contribute with co-workers in the same map.

That’s a very small example of what is to come, cause this is only the beginning.

1001+1 internet services

Lately, I keep getting a new invitation every day for joining another super-duper-exciting-innovative Internet service that will forever change the way you surf and think of the net.

Sometimes I get excited, some others I am so damn bored of just clicking again to find a service which you need to read 3 pages to understand its way of use, which I don't have the courage to do so anymore...
Nowadays, every single idea or last night's bad dream ends up in a new developed service, new ambitious developers-dreamers-entrepreneurs drop like flies, that’s the real freedom of the Internet.

So we are in a continues loop of evaluating new products, and I mention most of my findings on what the Internet offers in "centralized" & user-oriented services...

Please help me out in WHICH DOES WHAT WHICH DOES WHAT OR YOUR EXPERIENCE EFFECT (Can't expect it all from one poor mind). So, lets start:
