So I was browsing YouTube after viewing a video of the latest Mac commercial appearing on websites today, and came across this older video from CBS News talking about the similarities between Vista and Tiger. As always, the comments proved interesting and I had to post my favorite one below:
The authoring of software doesn’t mean others can’t evolve it or include it in their OS. Thanks to Microsoft now those features that appear on both OS will be more stable and neetly polished rather than performing a rush job typical of Apple. Wintel PC are cutting edge, Apple lovers it’s time to switch to a reliable and stable Wintel PC
Yep, Mac users, it’s time to switch to a reliable and stable Wintel PC.
The Joy of Tech comic today is simply brilliant. A nice comic modeled after the “Night before Christmas”. Someone is simply a genius for coming up with something so creative!
I just couldn’t help but share this story. It’s just priceless.
Basically, a man with a case of beer strapped to the front of his riding lawnmower was “fleeing” police and wouldn’t pull over, so a policeman chased him on foot and pulled him off the mower. The man was arrested for driving under the influence.
This clip is just wonderful, a quick musical about the iPhone. What makes it even better is that the author got people waiting in line at the Manhattan store to sing along too.
I went to Burger King this morning to grab a biscuit and a water, a cheap way to eat breakfast on the go, for about 2 dollars. However, it seems that Burger King is about to go bankrupt because the wonderfully cheerful voice informed me, “Are you aware that water is no longer free? It’s 18 cents plus tax.”
You should scroll up and read that again.
Burger King cannot give me a free water. So, I politely told the woman that I couldn’t afford the water, so I might as well not buy the biscuit either. And I drove off.
Why does this infuriate me so much? The pure principal behind the matter is maddening. I’m a starving college student. When I do eat “out”, I have to do so cheaply. Hence the trips to Taco Bell (where you can eat for like 3 dollars) and other fast food places. I get water because it is free, and over the last couple years, I’ve taken a liking to it again. But no, Burger King won’t give me a water for free. Evidently I, and others, have been eating into their profit margins (oh, a pun) and we have to go.
So, if you’re debating going to Burger King or somewhere else, I urge you to leave Burger King behind. Unless you’re just fine with paying 18 cents plus tax for a water.
For those who haven’t heard of the most amazing web statistical software ever created, Mint, I encourage you to stop reading this post and download it now. Your life will never be the same.
I just had to throw this out there because I find myself doing it all the time. I check my mint stats just about anytime I’m on the computer. It’s just part of my routine. Facebook, Mint, some message boards, my current debt….
When I find a site that I haven’t seen before show up in my referrers list, I check it out. I want to see who has sent me traffic! So occasionally the referring site is someone else’s mint installation. The instance that triggered this post was the good guys over at the Icon Factory for Frenzic. Looks like I had a few people leave the site and show up in their mint list and they checked the site out in return.
Just funny how everything is interconnected like that.
This is so incredibly funny! “I have to tell you something. I love Jesus, but I drink a little” and “2 flakes of snow….the local news showed a picture of an ice sickle”. Very entertaining.
I found this story to be both disturbing, yet very funny. Basically, this man keeps being arrested for breaking and entering into women’s clothing stores so that he can take part in “sexual acts” with mannequins. He has been arrested and served time several times since his first offense in 1993. I just find this weird, but at the same time funny because the guy really didn’t have enough sense to just buy him a stupid mannequin and quit breaking the law. Now he faces a lot of time because of all the repeat offenses.
