Germanwings plane disaster: metaphore for Greece German Spanish and French futures!

Germanwings plane disaster: German police probe co-pilot - BBC News




The fact that some idiot wanted to end it all and was prepared to take down 150 innocent people, children as well, is horrendous and no doubt more will come to light.




Its a horrible thing to say but I cant help but wonder, are the Greece politicians now thinking to do the same, is Greece going to trash its self and the Euro and Germany france and spain will be the ones to watch in the fall out, or do they have another way to address the mess they find themselves in.




Horrible thought but who is flying that project, i'll be glad when april has passed, for all their sakes!

Will be interesting to see the roadmap for window10 what that is doing re: Apple, Google for Ipad, to Chrome, to Cloud to Hololens and The defunct Google Glass but emergent Facebook investments in augmented reality and LBS's




Microsoft is killing off the Internet Explorer brand | The Verge




Interesting to see the research Microsoft has done around chrome users and IE or MICROSOFT brand recognition. Watching the Microsoft stock price since the new CEO took over but also watching it over the last 10 yrs means the next year and five should be fun!
