Is FOSS good for software industry?

Maybe. But, partly it ruins the software industry. Developers must be paid for the software they wrote. But FOSS tend to make them for free and compensate on the support or service model.
Time will come that a client will just say. What? Pay you for development. What development. Our dream more or less is like musicians. They create albums and earn royalty for that. Mangyari. Libre na yung Albums natin. Sa concert na lang tayo babawi. Pwede na rin seguro. Sa tingin nyo?

The Real Business

R. Kayosaki (RDPD) once said, if you work for your business, then it's not a business, it's a job.
Business generally, is a way of making profit by sale or service directly or indirectly. R. Kayosaki's point is indirectly, you don't do the job yet the money goes to your pocket, yeah... cool, chill sa aking duyan.
If you are an employee quitting your day job in favor of being a freelancer/contractor, because your consulting gig is better than your day job. Do not forget to consider that being a consultant working one client at a time is not far from being an employee.
But, why is it? Doctors, Architects, Attorneys, Accountants, etc. doing freelancing, make a better living. Answer it yourself, they are promising in nature. Owning the Hospital, Owning an Architect firm, Owning a software company. Owning makes the big difference, and that's what real business is. But hey, I want to own a business selling pirated CD. That is definitely a monkey business and it's a different story. Try police story.

Entrepreneuring, which one?

Article snippets from the early days of Apple. http://www.lowendmac.com/orchard/06/0222.html
[Finally, Jobs invited Sculley to his penthouse condo overlooking Manhattan and famously asked him, "Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water, or do you want a chance to change the world?"
Sculley, by now infatuated with Jobs, accepted and got approval from Kendall to leave Pepsi for Apple.]
Wow. Joining the geek bandwagon can change the world. I think this is a good example of a practical entrepreneur vs visionary entrepreneur. Where do you want to join today? Ready to change the world? Join http://www.bicolano.org Eveyones welcome. Chill sa aking duyan...

Chill sa aking duyan.

Masyadong madamdamin ang pagkakatangal kay Christian sa bahay kubo. Nawala tuloy ang bad boy image ni Zanjo. Sya tuloy ang nagmukhang bading. este. gwaping pala.
Wala kasi sa mindset ni Zanjo na matangal si Christian. Sa tingin ko naman, si big bro. ang tumangal kay Christian kasi masyado nang umiinit ang pagitang Zanjo at Bianca. Para siguro yon sa naiwan ni Bianca sa labas. Direk pa naman. Zanjo, Bianca, layt camera action.

Batman & Robin Celebrity Edition

When Rustom Padilla admitted that he is a gay, marami ang na yanig. Sa mga kababaihan, siguro marami ang naawa, nanghinayang, natuwa. Sa mga kalalakihan, siguro, Ops.. parang konting ingats lang. Sa mga kababadingan, siguro, it was an overwhelming feeling, nakakataba ng puso na parang na welcome din sila. Sa mga katotomboyan, "Yan ang gusto nyo ah etong sayo!" Ala lang, maging strong lang.
Siguro ganon nga talaga, si Rustom ay parang si Batman na may tagapag tangol na si Robin. Anya ni Robin, sa lahat ng bumatikos kay Batman, eto lang ang masasabi ko: Bwahahahahaha. hahahaha..hahuhuhu...Langyang Batman to', dual personality, parang dual licensing. Anyway, ngayong open-source ka na, panibagong release, panibagong batikos este bukas pala.
