Meta'nın Twitter'a rakip olarak geliştirdiği yeni uygulaması Threads, tam da Twitter'ın teknolojik ve ekonomik sorunlar yaşadığı bir dönemde kullanıcılarla buluştu. Meta CEO'su Mark Zuckerberg gözünü yükseklere diktiğini, başarısız gördüğü Twitter'ı tahtından indirmek istediğini her fırsatta dile getiriyor. Peki uzmanlar ne diyor?
#Threads‘Bizi bize bizden biri gibi’ anlatan paylaşımlarıyla Twitter’ın son dönemde yükselen yıldızı kesinlikle o. Yarı İngilizce-yarı Türkçe yazdığı, mizahi yönü güçlü tweet’lerinin müdavimi olduğumuz Jared Wall’u biraz daha yakından tanımanın vakti geldi.
#Jared WallObviously, it was a very difficult decision for President Abdullah Gül to make. Despite the hopes of opposition parties and skeptics who suspect the Justice and Development Party, or AKP, of harboring a secret agenda to gradually Islamize the administration of secular Turkey and who see the military as "custodian" of the modern republic, and of course the secularism principle, the president did not veto in whole or part the controversial legislation that allows officers to be tried in civilian courts and signed it into law.
Fikret Bila’s headline story in the daily Milliyet on Sunday reminded us of a painful truth. Bila, in his article, revealed reasons for the General Staff’s objection to military personnel under certain circumstances being tried before a civil court. The General Staff sent these valid objections to the president. Gül, who has consulted the government, will either today or tomorrow make a decision about the bill.
Under current presidential powers, President Abdullah Gül has to make a decision, for or against, a parliamentary legislation within 15 days after the legislation is submitted to the presidency for endorsement. That is, the president has until July 13 to make a decision on the midnight parliamentary operation of the ruling Justice and Development Party, or AKP, authorizing civilian courts to prosecute army officials and limiting the jurisdiction of the military courts.
Last weekend, while I was watching the Gazi Koşusu, the horserace dedicated to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, at the Istanbul Hippodrome, I felt both happy and sad. I was happy because I felt that we owe a word of appreciation to the Turkish Jockey Club, which has been organizing the show for 85 years, and to all the horse-breeders and employees of the club.
I decided to write this article after I listened to a speech by Halil İbrahim Akpınar, the governor of the district of Bolu, after I witnessed the positive reaction of Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arınç. But then such developments took place that the situation became tenser. The headline was supposed to end like this, "...isn’t it a little too much?" This sentence openly shows what is meant. Nevertheless, let me tell you about my purpose in a little more detail. Those of you who read my articles and books know my criticism of the Turkish Armed Forces, or TSK, very well.
LOS ANGELES - Imagine our surprise. Eddie Murphy's family comedy 'Imagine That' is based on a clever premise and it makes good use of Murphy's comic strengths - singing, dancing and creating myriad voices and personalities without letting him go overboard and get too obnoxious.
Not only us, but everybody in this world has new contradictory positions regarding the global crisis. For years we were insisting on the importance of productivity. But by introducing economic encouragement packets all of us seemed to forget the meaning of productivity regarding human resources. During the last half-century radical changes have been made in education and the methodology of education for using our human resources more productively and having a brilliant, well-educated new generation. But today these brilliant people have become scapegoats of the global crisis.
With the start of debates over the landmines along the Syrian border, we have learned what a "minefield" Turkey is. They are not in the land but also in minds, too. Clearing landmines is a difficult task, but I am afraid eliminating mines in the mind will take time enough to bury us all.
The Futurists Association of Turkey was established just a couple of years ago, founded by Brightwell Holding CEO Alphan Manas, a colorful figure who is a textile engineer by trade but describes himself as a futurist, an inventor, a technology expert and an investor. He is the creator of the OGS system used on Istanbul bridges, the İDDAA betting system and the Ferry Taxi.
As discussions on new initiatives for finding a solution to the Kurdish issue continue, a crisis has emerged over a bill to eliminate land mines on the Syrian border. The opposition parties Ğ the Republican People’s Party, or CHP, the Nationalist Movement Party, or MHP, and the pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party, or DTP Ğ have put on the most tactical joint act in recent years to try and stop the bill.
