China Is Leading the Race to Make Renewable Energy

TIANJIN, China — China vaulted past competitors in Denmark, Germany, Spain and the United States last year to become the world’s largest maker of wind turbines, and is poised to expand even further this year.

China has also leapfrogged the West in the last two years to emerge as the world’s largest manufacturer of solar panels. And the country is pushing equally hard to build nuclear reactors and the most efficient types of coal power plants.

Reminds me of the story about the fellow leaning on his shovel in the shade, saying, “One of these days I’m gonna run this company!” How long before we’re holding our place in the world by force instead of by offering it something worthwhile?  Oh, wait…

I have to go someplace; now where did I leave those keys?

A group of 45 year old guys discuss where they should meet for dinner. Finally they agree to meet at the Kelley’s Restaurant, because the waitresses have low cut blouses and nice breasts.

10 years later at age 55, the group agrees to meet at Kelley’s, because the food is good and the wine selection is excellent.

10 years later at age 65, the group agrees to meet at Kelley’s, because they can eat there in peace and quiet and the restaurant is smoke free.

10 years later at age 75, the group agrees to meet at Kelley’s, because the restaurant is wheel chair accessible and they have an elevator.

10 years later at age 85, the group agrees to meet at Kelley’s, because they have never been there before.

This is a link to a Facebook album I posted. I’m too lazy to re-do the thing here. Enjoy.

I apologize for the slightly fuzzy photos. Facebook does a bad job of reducing the size, and I forgot to re-size before posting.

WinPatrol Plus For 99 Cents — One Day Only!

Bits from Bill: The Great 99 Cent Software Experiment of 2010

WinPatrol is one of the best security programs on the market. The developer, Bill Pytlovany, has been refining it for years, and it’a a great buy at $30 a pop. However, Bill has decided to try a little experiment…

I’m curious and thinking a crazy single day experiment could be fun
and may be worth the risk. So what the hell. If you want to upgrade to
WinPatrol PLUS on January 29th, I’ll give you a
lifetime WinPatrol membership for less than a dollar. Instead of the
regular price of $29.95 I’ll provide a coupon on WinPatrol.com that
brings the price down to $0.99 USD. That comes out to approx. .70 € to
our international friends

This will
be a one-day only “experiment” starting at midnight EST
on Jan 29th and will last 24 hours. Will over 30 times the normal
number customers upgrade to WinPatrol PLUS? If so, will other software
developers notice?

Do you think the traditional software industry is in danger? If you think 99 cent software is coming or I’m just crazy than write about this on your blog. I will need enough people to know about this experiment to make it valid. That’s also why I had to pre-announce a special offer which may kill sales between now and Friday.

Contact Support@winpatrol.com for questions or confirmation this is real. To all our fans who paid $29.95 I hope you’ll understand that this is just a crazy experiment and does not diminish the value of WinPatrol PLUS or how much I appreciate all your past support. This weekend I’ll evaluate the experiment and post the results.
