New Facebook Interface

So I've reading a lot of comments criticizing the new FB interface and I'm wondering why people complain so much about it...its not like they can come up with something better. People are never going to be content with how FB looks like because everyone has different opinions about it. Personally, I think the new interface has become very practical. Now I don't have to go to switch between pages to see the news feed because its all within one page and the most recent side bar is very easy to read and it updates every second so it's a lot faster than before. The chat could use a little more tweaks, but it is pretty easy to use. The only thing I don't like is the way the inbox messages are linked to the chat conversations; now that is a thing they need to change cuz it gets sometimes annoying when you're chatting and if you go online it sends an inbox message so you notice that someone is talking to you.

Chicharito's injury update

After this criminal, reckless slide tackle from Ashley Cole to Javier Hernandez during last week's game between Chelsea and Manchester United which could have fractured Hernandez's ankle (fortunately it was only a bad bruise), he is given the green light for Saturday's match. Nevertheless, sir Alex Ferguson says that he will most likely be ready for Tuesday's match instead of Saturday's. So best of luck to Chicharito and for a quick recovery.

Planet of the Apes: (RE)EVOLUTION

I watched this movie a week ago and I really enjoyed it. Not only because of smart apes going into an unstoppable rampage and massive gorillas owning the police force(which was fun to watch) but because of its significance. I just read Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and it has a strong resemblance to the movie's theme. The thing that stood out to me the most was the desire to discover a cure to the human diseases, but then turning into a complete disaster. Also the desire to control nature which in the movie was Caesar, but then turning against his own creator and becoming more powerful through what he learned. In Frankenstein, the parallelism is the same. The doctor wants to create a creature that later on becomes his own enemy and kills everyone he loved. In Planet of the Apes, the doctor wants to find the cure but then his masterpiece becomes what he was meant to be; a free living creature that knows almost no boundaries becoming a powerful being that has a great intellect and great physical strength.
So the final conclusion is that man cannot control what he isn't meant to control. Everything beyond man's understanding is supposed to stay unchanged.
