NEWSWEEK's - November 2012's OBAMA Cover - (Final Print Edition)

Leave it up to NEWSWEEK to go out with a "BANG" on their last ever print edition.

NOVEMBER 2012 NEWSWEEK OBAMA POST-ELECTION COVER

What a gimmick, I could hear the executives / Editor-In-Chief talking about the last Issue, "we got to do something BIG to stir the pot, it's our last print edition, this damn Internet is killing our bottom line.  Daniel Klaidman (Newsweek's Managing Editor) wrote the featured piece, "THE OBAMA CONQUEST."

Sorry guys your out-dated, you can thank me with the exposure (oh that's right you don't need it; is that why your ending print editions?) What's next your going to charge a fee like New York Times to view your web content? (I guess it's a : FARE-WELL, so much for bowing out gracefully.)


FIRST LETS START WITH OBAMA'S ATTIRE :

Let me see are they going for the NAPOLEON or the GEORGE WASHINGTON look on this one?

UNDER HIS COAT IS SIMILAR TO THE COVER

THIS SEEMS TO BE THE ATTIRE OF A GENERAL FOR THE ERA.

While Napoleon Bonaparte did help create key civil and economic reforms, the ruler, through legal trickery, crowned himself France's emperor in 1804. He was also a warmonger, reinstated slavery in the country's colonies, often ignored treaties and laws to obtain his goals, and he sanctioned the institutional plundering of conquered regions, resulting in the deaths of millions. How exactly is this a great cover? Newsweek editors look like they're once again creating propaganda for the government. I'll never, ever join the Republican Party, but for a party that prides itself on being "inclusive" and "colorblind," the Democrats keep stirring up racism to create division. Isn't President Obama part-white? It's pure evil to teach someone to hate themselves for their skin color. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, " I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." Well, let's ignore that uniting promise; it doesn't help sell magazines.


SECOND - NEWSWEEK's MESSAGE TO GOP :

GOP: YOU'RE OLD, YOU'RE WHITE, YOU'RE HISTORY!
By: David J. Frum

David Frum is a self proclaimed Republican Jew; originally from Canada, he is a Canadian-American journalist.  So if he's a Republican why is he writing an article such as this one?  This is the first time I've ever heard of this man but it seems his angle is to get as many of his columns in the newspapers and magazines.  Or maybe he's just upset at his fellow Republicans for distancing themselves from him. (Can you blame them, this dude just has a repulsive look to him).  He's an outspoken critic and seems to have been alienated from his political party, o well.



Your days are done, GOP white man. In its November issue, Newsweek and writer David Frum want you to know that you’re old, you’re white, and you’re finished.  

by WARNER TODD HUSTON | 9 Nov 2012

Not only does Newsweek want white Republicans to know their salad days are over (and that they are racist, no doubt), but the aging magazine has done so with a cover illustration that portrays Obama wearing the uniform tunic of a Revolutionary War soldier -- maybe even with allusions to founding father and first general of the armies George Washington.

The Internet's growth

     Being that this is my very first post I figured I talk briefly about the internet's growth along the years.  The Internet has come a long way from it's "humble beginnings" to what it has grown to today (which makes it possible for me to blog on this site).  As of Dec 1995 the number of users on the internet was 16 million which was 0.4% of the worlds population (according to the IDC) If you jump all the way to June 2010 (which is 15 years later) the number of users sky rockets to a rough figure of 1.97 billion which is 28.7% of the worlds population (according to the Internet World Stats)


     The internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the Standard Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) to serve Billions of users worldwide.  The origins of the internet reach back to research of the 1960's by the U.S. Government and private commercial interests to build robust, fault-tolerant and distributed computer networks.  But lets not forget the internet and the World Wide Web (WWW) are two different "animals", the internet establishes communication between computers and the World Wide Web is one of the services that utilizes the internet. (WWW) is a system of interlinked hypertext documents accessed via the web and a web browser gives you access to view a website on the World Wide Web through the internet.  The World Wide Web was launched  in 1991. (Wikipedia.org)

     Finally, Bandwidth is a measure of available or consumed data measured in bits per second.  You can test your bandwidth by going to http://www.bandwidthplace.com/
