If Microsoft makes cars....
For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on.
At COMDEX recently, Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up with the technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."
In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:
1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.
2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull over to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive, but would run on only five percent of the roads.
6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.
7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.
8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
9. Every time a new car was introduced, car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again, because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
10. Oh yeah, and last but not least . . . you'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off!

Unspoken feelings!!!
I feel so bad abt wat had happened n I regret for wat I could not do in past. I am so helpless abt the things which are happening in present, I am not able to do anything at all. All is happening in front of me n I am so helpless. Why is all happening ? Till when will it happen? Who'll come to help me ? OHH!!! all these questions are coming in my mind everytime everywhere. I cant be quite for a sec . I feel like time is running out of my hands n em just lookin it pass me by.
Wat will happen in the future ? Will it be the same that had happened in the past n wats happening right now. Oh!! em so scared of life. Is life all these stuffs ? Isnt there a way to be happy in life? Love was like a dream which just showed off then gone far away , it went so far that I couln't even see its shadow. Its just gone away from me so far so much far that now em alone. So lonely that I cant see anybody miles away. The silence is so scary, its pin drop silence out here. I wanna scream loud ,cry hard but wat worth of it as I know there is nobody to help, to talk n to be with me.So now I live alone N I'm tryin to forget evrythn that happened in my life . N see Its my life.
