Everyone is entitled to my opinion by Pink_fish13This topic has been brewing for a long time and could easily turn into a never ending rant but I will try to resist.

Do bloggers need to have an opinion on everything and can being opinionated turn against you?

Of course this entry is nothing more than just another opinionated piece, a rant.
It is time that bloggers use their grey mass a little and look in the mirror before ridiculing themselves. Being opinionated is easy but being opinionated AND making sense is a different game all together.

Apparently you can wake up and open your eyes to the outside world, even if you live in Silicon Valley. Of course for any European, especially fans of the football game, this is no surprise at all, we actually would prefer Russian riches to invest in our clubs than poor Americans who constantly need to renegotiate the debts taken on to buy out our clubs.

Developer time, analysis time and hardware resources will all be a part of what we do here, and hopefully a few of these projects will provide remarkable value (while others will help to serve as lessons of what not to do).
