Why I hate Microsoft.
Today at work, I was setting up a few Windows machines. One of the windows product keys didn’t work. After checking thoroughly to make sure there were no typos, I decided to call Microsoft Support.
After a few minutes of waiting, I was greeted by an Indian man with such a heavy accent that I could barely understand him over the phone. He introduced himself as “Philliam” (pronounced Phil-Yum). I...

Tweetie 2 upgrade price.
I have heard a lot of people complaining about the $2.99 upgrade price for Tweetie 2. It is foolish that people think tweetie’s developer, Loren Brichter, has time to rewrite the entire app and include a ton of new features without charging anything. The fact of the matter is that he is only asking for $2.99 from you in return for the hours of work he has put into making a kick-ass app! I...

This is obviously not accurate since the amount of content on the internet is always changing, but it’s still pretty frickin’ awesome!
A bit of obvious perspective
mrgan:
In 1983, an Atari 2600 game such as Galaxian cost $32.99. If that sounds like a lot, remember that in 2009 dollars that’s more than $70.
The system itself retailed at $199, which is about $700 in 2009 dollars. The market was almost 20 million units strong, which is something like 25 million consoles in 2009 (adjusting for population growth).
So, also in 2009, when someone makes an...

Why I Hate The Phone, and How To Fix It.
Brian Amerige: [the problem with the phone is that] it's interruptive.
Peter MacWhinnie: that is a problem with the phone
Brian Amerige: the whole reason a system like that which I just outlined would not work is that we have no effective replacement for emergencies.
Brian Amerige: to me it seems more logical to have a dedicated status for emergencies
Brian Amerige: and to make it socially unacceptable to abuse it.
Brian Amerige: akin to calling the police department as a joke.
Brian Amerige: most people justify answering the phone right away (regardless of whether or not they're busy or in the middle of something) as not wanting to risk it being an emergency. because theoretically any phone call can be.
Peter MacWhinnie: its so rude to do that though.
Brian Amerige: it is. so having a status on the phone (perhaps a different style of ringing?) that can be set from the caller's end would fix that.
Brian Amerige: as long as its not abused.
Brian Amerige: that way the callee can make an informed decision.
Peter MacWhinnie: that would be nice
Peter MacWhinnie: you should suggest that
Peter MacWhinnie: to someone
Peter MacWhinnie: who can make that happen

So much fun. I must have sat and watched this for at least 10 minutes. What I enjoyed most was that 98% of people can’t do the Moonwalk at all, so when someone who can goes by it’s surprisingly exciting.
