The Belgian Trotter

That’s it!
In Romney’s speech announcing he will not continue his race for the white house, he said the following:

As I said to you last year, conservative principles are needed now more than ever. We face a new generation of challenges, challenges which threaten our prosperity, our security and our future.
I am convinced that unless America changes course, we will become the France of the 21st century - still a great nation, but no longer the leader of the world, no longer the superpower. And to me, that is unthinkable.
Europe is facing a demographic disaster. That is the inevitable product of weakened faith in the Creator, failed families, disrespect for the sanctity of human life and eroded morality.

Boy am I glad one less extremist prick is running for office!
What do you do with a potential president of the united states with idea’s like that. Islamic extremism is terrorism, catholic extremism… is running for the white house.

Yeah that will improve the world!

A quarter of a century ago, on August 17 1982, the first CD came of the assembly lines with the album “The visitors” from Abba. Only in November of that same year the discs went on sale on the Japanese market. The rest of the world had to wait until March, 1983. The price for a disc varied from $10 to $20. (we’ll come back to this later)

We have Philips and Sony to thank for the Compact Disc, Philips made the laser and disc technology and Sony developed the digital encoding used in the standard.
It would take some time before the new and expensive standard took over from vynil and cassettes. Five years later, in 1987, CD players started outselling LP players, and next year CDs outsold vynil LPs for the first time, and we all know where it went from there.

New high definition standards aren’t doing great either, since the sound quality of the plain CD or MP3 is enough for most people and more and more consumers put an emphasis on portability and ease of use, i.e. they’ll rather buy iPods and other MP3 players.
