My Future

Andy Peatling — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 05:03:34 +0000

My dad put together a really fantastic video of all the photos and videos of my past thirty years, but one thing stood out at the end. Aged eleven I wrote a short letter about how I thought my future would turn out.

My Future.

This is a rough idea of how I think my life will turn out when I’m older.

I struggle to think what I’d like to be when I’m older. I’d enjoy being a computer salesman, or a person that tests or works on a computer.

The reason I’d like to do this sort of thing is because I really enjoy computers. I think they’re brill! You never stop learning about a computer, there are always new things to discover about them.

If I couldn’t get a job as a computer bloke, I’d like to get my own business. I don’t know what this business would be, but it would be my own.

I also hope to have a good personal life too, I hope I can earn enough money to supply a family with food and a house and not be tied up in lots of bills and bank loans.

Well, overall I think that my future will turn out well, but who can say?

I think it’s all turned out well so far.

Judge who slammed Apple during patent trial hired by Samsung [updated]

Reblogged from BGR:

A former judge in the United Kingdom known most recently for forcing Apple (AAPL) to issue a public apology after calling Samsung's (005930) Galaxy Tab an iPad copy, has reportedly been hired by Samsung to join its legal team. Judge Robin Jacob had retired in 2011, but as FOSS Patents explains, ex-judges can still be invited to sit on the bench in the UK, and he presided over the case that ended up in a decision favoring Samsung.

Reblogged from BGR:

The cameras on Google's (GOOG) line of Nexus smartphones have consistently performed worse than the competition. Some have said the default Android image processing software is at fault, while others have suggested low-end sensors are to blame. Google's smartphones, nevertheless, cannot compete with Apple's (AAPL) iPhone, HTC's (2498) DROID DNA or Samsung's (005930…
