Apa khabar, dunia!

Last time I had a blog, it was still in the 90s, where the word blog wasn't even invented. We had ICQ. Hotmail (pre-Microsoft takeover). Google was about to be launched. The internet was a booming township of settlers, and we were in awe, coming in from the era of BBSes.

Much time has passed. Facebook. The rise of Apple, the decline of Microsoft. The consolidations within the tech industry, where from many, there are now far fewer but larger entities...giants with financial clout and marketing funds. But are their products actually better  (insert metrics: support, openness, cost, reliability, performance), or is it an illusion? Big player=better product does not translate. And into this space, I nail down my stake. To be continued.
