Reason number 8765432567543 to avoid WhatsApp

Say you are using WhatsApp web… in first place, what the fuck!! whatsap web? where is the fucking native app?. Ok, you are using that crap.

But you have to have your phone connected to whatsapp in order for it to work!!! NO FUCKING KIDDING ME!! what is the point of having a web version already connected to the fucking service if you need to have your phone connected  too.

Take for comparison another Instant messengers:

Telegram

  • Free (Open Source and you can use the service for free)
  • Mobile app (iOS, Android, Windows Phone)
  • An API to create your own app/service
  • Bots
  • You can share pictures
  • Voice messages
  • Is quite similar to whatsapp, but..
  • You can use either, the phone, the tablet or your desktop as long as you have internet in the device you are using. No need to have your phone connected.
  • This thing does support GIFs!!!
  • Unfortunately, you have to pay for the data usage in mobile since there is no agreement with carriers to give it for free (as with whatsapp)

Facebook Messenger

  • Free (you can use it, althought there is no source code available).
  • There is an App for most popular mobile devices (Android, iOS, Windows Phone?) and there is a web version (http://messenger.com) which you can quickly make a desktop webapp.
  • Most of your contacts already use Facebook, so what’s the problem?
  • You can share Pictures, video, Voice messages and other files.
  • You can do Video calls.
  • It does support GIFS.
  • No need to have your phone connected to internet. You can use whatever device you have at hand.
  • In Mexico most carriers give it for free as the mobile data usage in “social networks”.

I still wonder WHY THE FUCK PEOPLE STILL USES WHATSAPP!!!!! if it is because it’s free, then use Facebook messenger, it does support video calls and it’s free. Do you use it as a messaging replacement?, use Telegram!! read more

Worth every cent

  
We gave this iPad to Sofia last year as a birthday gift. But the iPad companion was that griffin survivor case.

Sofia, Diego and Ana have dropped that thing a lot of times, stepped over it, draw on it (with crayons), and of course water.

The iPad is still working and no scratches or dents on it. That case is worth every cent I paid for it

What makes a Mac a Mac


I think that Macs are expensive computers, but any other computer with the same hardware should cost more or less the same.

Yes, you can get cheaper computers with the same processor, more storage and the same amount of ram, but is not just CPU-RAM-HDD what makes a computer a good computer. Is everything that is around those.


The display, the quality of construction, the durability of the keyboard, the battery   and I don’t mean just getting 10 hours of battery, I mean how many years that battery is going to work fine. read more

So, we went to watch the new Star Wars

  
And although it was good, to me it was not a memorable movie, better than the first three episodes yes, better than the 4-6 ? No.

A couple of spoilers alter. Stop reading if you haven’t seen the movie yet.

Basically the same, Rebels vs The bad guys. They even had the killed parent. The different part is that the Jedi is a woman now (trying to be inclusive?) and there’s a bit more of humor with chewbacca and Han Solo.

Also, Kylo Ren is the worst villain I’ve ever seen in Star Wars. Just think about this: a fucking storm trooper hit him with a laser blade. Kylo could just use the force a twist his neck and No more Finn for the saga. Also, a girl with no training who discovered her Jedi powers 15 minutes before beat the ass of Kylo, a Commander of the dark side… read more

no sugar

Just to let a note on my blog, I’m starting a new challenge, no sugar week, if I can do it for one week then I’ll try to make it for another week and so on. that’s why I’m drinking coffee with no sugar.

I’m also trying to get rid of meat, so, this is also my no meat week challenge, I tried to do it last week but I failed on Thursday I think, kids wanted pizza, I wanted pizza, but they didn’t wanted the veggie one :-(. I hope I can do it this week.

I’m also doing some workout, I hope the workout + no sugar + no meat help me to get rid of this ~20 extra kilograms I have. read more
