there is no app for imagination

Steve Robs Kids: despite all the hype, & the jokes ("there's an app for that") - apps are basically revenue-gathering, data-collating moles...ie in old hippie terms: bullshit.
Remember - there is no app for imagination.
Steve has robbed an entire generation of their imaginations...we see not gen-y nor gen-z...we experience gen-Dumbed-down....we thought Disney was bad - this Apple is rotten.


"Apple customers downloaded more than 15 billion applications in the past three years, the company said on Thursday, releasing figures that suggest the rate of downloads is sharply accelerating.
The latest figures from Apple show that customers have downloaded around 5 billion apps so far this year, considering the company said in January that it had just passed the 10 billion download mark.
It took roughly two and a half years to reach 10 billion downloads - but much of the period was spent without the popular iPad tablet, which has driven the demand for apps.
Apple has paid developers more than US$2.5 billion ($3 billion) to develop for its online store, which currently contains around 425,000 apps for iPads, iPhones and iPod Touches, it said." stuffnz

Sunday Star Times "Digital" March 4..2012: "...more than 31 billion apps were downloaded  to mobile devices  in 2011....mobile apps will generate U$52 billion by 2016".


However, this isn't about money - it's about power...if you can control minds and hearts, then spending & voting patterns will follow.
The corporations will be able to do anything they want to achieve their ends.
Make no mistake - this is all a power game - who controls the web controls the world.

No Bull

I found these bicycle parts in a dumpster recently. The wires are the brake cables - I am not sure whether to leave them on or cut them off? I kind of like them. A possible title for this piece is “No Bull” - references to Picasso’s original sculpture & Magritte’s “This is not a pipe” being intentional. Otherwise it could be a “Recyclabull”?

Matau - Maori Fish-Hook

-
Image
This fish-hook is about 2 ft high & is cut out a piece of copper sheet from a hot-water cylinder I found in the kerbside collection. I have painted it black & am thinking of bronzing or gilding it??? In Maori mythology the super-human trickster Maui fished up the North Island from the sea. The traditional names for this island group commemmorate this feat: The North Island is Te Ikaroa-a-Maui (“The Long Fish of Maui”). The South Island is Te Waka-a-Maui (“The Canoe of Maui”). Stewart Island in the far south is the legendary anchor of our hero’s canoe: Te Punga-a-Maui, while the Mahia Peninsula in the east is identified as Maui’s fish-hook: Te Matau-a-Maui.
