To those who know myself and alphaomega, you would easily recall who Senator Stephen Conroy is, and what it is he is trying to achieve.
Conroy Confirmed as Dark Lord of the Australian Interwebs
He has finally taken the cake. As to why he didn't step up and accept this award with pride is beyond my mortal comprehension. Perhaps he didn't want to be seen as the bad guy. Well, it is now offically too late.
Nothing big in the news. Oh except for the fact Cyberdyne Google is entering the Operating System universe.
Now this is fine for most of you. In fact even I think it's awesome. They were once just a search engine. And then decided that was getting old and so moved on a few new things like: blogging platforms, calendars, online office documents, email, discussion forums hosting, a social site, 3D modelling software, RSS aggregation, RSS creation, online notebook, photo organisation software, online web storage to share said photos, website analysis service, instant messaging, online translation, code hosting, website creation and book searches, blog searches, all kinds of other searches. Just a few of the things Google decided to endeavour.
Oh but then,
They made an internet browser.
They made a mobile phone system.
And then decided to even have a hand in phone systems.
They even decided to reinvent email.
And now they have an arm in market of Operating Systems. The world of Windows, Linux, Solaris, Fluxbox, Unix. Oh and Mac.
You can obviously see where this is going.
Don't get me wrong. I'm all for Google. I have 4 Gmails. KL even uses Blogger. But there's a point where even the most cuddliest most adorable teddy bear can grow too large and scare the shit out of you.
I leave you now with not just only crude allusions to judgement day, internet religion and the super seriousness of cloud computing. But with a sketch I drew the day I heard Google had bought YouTube. What could possible voice my sentiments better?
Be sure to watch for the next instalment of this two part series where we discuss Google's move to acquire nuclear weapons.

Yes, Kbabslive has returned with an interrobang‽ As you may have noticed, we are having minor technical difficulties, but all will hopefully be corrected soon.
Having gotten that out of the way, it's business as usual with the Kbabslive crew bringing you the latest and greatest in failed belief systems, poor political actions, sound technical advice and the just downright piss-your-pants funny.
To kick off this week, I'd like to give an honourable mention to Barack Obama: he's survived over 100 days of the American presidency and I think every single racist out there is still in shock. A dishonourable mention must go to the latest epidemic, Swine Flu, for proving beyond doubt that pigs can fly. But the Thank Kbabslive You're Here Weekly Award goes to the Cronulla sharks, who quite possibly cannot sink any lower.

For the past few months the team has gone their separate ways, and surprisingly nothing has really angered us enough for us to come back to our usual antics. Has the world finally corrected itself? Besides the machination of the Ultra Mega Global "OMGWTF" Economic Apocalypse, pigs sneezing on humans, oh and not to mention Pirate Bay Lawyers kicking Mininova in the crotch before the fact, and who can forget the awesomeness of the free-for-testing beta Windows 7 releases--successor to the ever unpopular (yet somehow more popular than Apple Macs) Windows "Needs Your Permission" Vista.
As founder and editor of kbabslive, I am proud to say that not only did I actually forget this site existed for weeks, but also you are now reading the first post with our new theme which is here to stay. A pretty new design ripped from Wordpress thanks to FalconHive, with the same idiot writers, and zero punctuation as always.
What's in it for the future? I have no bloody clue. But what I do know is this: the world is a movie with plenty of idiots and ignorance, we'll provide you the commentary tracks.
Happy surfing, dear readers.
