The Internet - The first Worldwide Tool of Unification ("The End of History")

" ... Now I give you something that few think about: What do you think the Internet is all about, historically? Citizens of all the countries on Earth can talk to one another without electronic borders. The young people of those nations can all see each other, talk to each other, and express opinions. No matter what the country does to suppress it, they're doing it anyway. They are putting together a network of consciousness, of oneness, a multicultural consciousness. It's here to stay. It's part of the new energy. The young people know it and are leading the way.... "

" ... I gave you a prophecy more than 10 years ago. I told you there would come a day when everyone could talk to everyone and, therefore, there could be no conspiracy. For conspiracy depends on separation and secrecy - something hiding in the dark that only a few know about. Seen the news lately? What is happening? Could it be that there is a new paradigm happening that seems to go against history?... " Read More …. "The End of History"- Nov 20, 2010 (Kryon channelled by Lee Carroll)

“…5 - Integrity That May Surprise…

Have you seen innovation and invention in the past decade that required thinking out of the box of an old reality? Indeed, you have. I can't tell you what's coming, because you haven't thought of it yet! But the potentials of it are looming large. Let me give you an example, Let us say that 20 years ago, you predicted that there would be something called the Internet on a device you don't really have yet using technology that you can't imagine. You will have full libraries, buildings filled with books, in your hand - a worldwide encyclopedia of everything knowable, with the ability to look it up instantly! Not only that, but that look-up service isn't going to cost a penny! You can call friends and see them on a video screen, and it won't cost a penny! No matter how long you use this service and to what depth you use it, the service itself will be free.

Now, anyone listening to you back then would perhaps have said, "Even if we can believe the technological part, which we think is impossible, everything costs something. There has to be a charge for it! Otherwise, how would they stay in business?" The answer is this: With new invention comes new paradigms of business. You don't know what you don't know, so don't decide in advance what you think is coming based on an old energy world. ..."

Microsoft combats Chinese piracy with US$15 Win 8 upgrades

Microsoft is offering its customers in China upgrades to its Window 8 operating system for a record low 98 yuan (US$15); remarkable enough, but even more so as the company is allowing upgrades from pirated versions of the software -- something previously unthinkable.

Chinese users have found they are eligible for the 98-yuan upgrade regardless the brand of their computer and whether their computer came with the software pre-installed at the time of purchase. Users of pirated versions are also able to upgrade to the genuine version through Microsoft's official website, according to the Beijing Youth Daily, the official newspaper of Communist Youth League.

The US technology firm has offered a US$69.99 promotional price for Window 8 valid until Jan. 13 next year. Users of Windows 7, Vista and XP can upgrade to the latest OS for US$39.99 and anyone with a Window-based computer purchased from June 2 this year until Jan. 13, 2013 can apply for the upgrade via Microsoft's website.

The price of the latest incarnation of the ubiquitous operating system is the lowest yet. The English and Chinese versions of Windows XP released in 2001 were 1,700 yuan (US$270) and 1,600 yuan (US$250) respectively. Windows 2000 cost around 1,200 yuan (US$190), according to the newspaper.

So far Microsoft's strategy has been well-received. The operating system has not yet been pirated rampantly in China. If the company finds this strategy significantly reduces piracy in the country, it may continue to launch promotions after the upgrade is expires in February next year, a source close to the technology firm said.
