Good morning digital citizens! Have you voted for your next President
yet? Oops! I forget the Internet voting network was a Dilbert TV episode
and not reality...

Anyway if I was Roman Catholic, this would be like a decree from
Vatican2 or even better yet a message from Thomas Aquinas himself.

Richard Stallman is not an icon like Steve Jobs, however, he is an
iconoclast. He breathes down the 3 pillars of technology terrorism I
spoke about in public for the first time in September 2008.

Anyway consider this a notice that I will be removing all, I mean ALL,
my dependency from Google, Yahoo & Co before 31 December 2008.

Thank to my friend Henry Addo (http://twitter.com/eyedol), the most
astute blogger from Ghana, for bringing clarity to this issue:
