I’ve previously written about how Wired Magazine has become a advertising abomination. It has happened yet again, throughout the multi hundred page magazine there is about 1.5 pages of actual meat. The rest is littered with half ass writing and advertisements. They write about going green yet they deliver me a 2lb stack of paper worth nothing. *sigh*

I’m so glad that my tax dollars are going to go and “bail out” companies that drove themselves into the ground. There is a *obvious* solution to this issue: FIRE all the upper management, discontinue their million+ salary, take away their corporate jets, their porsches and the like. Bring in a couple consultants that have a proven track record to fix it. Why should my hard earned money go to helping out someone that was too busy screwing America to see their business was failing.
Fuck this…
I find this amusing, so I had to write about.
I’ve been watching TV and I keep seeing this *stupid* windows commercial tricking people into thinking there is a new Windows called ‘Mojave’ but it’s really Vista. Then it says go to mojaveexperiment.com to “see what they saw” however you can’t use anything but Internet Exploder to view that site (so that rules out pretty much all Mac customers aka Microsoft’s real competition (other than Windows XP users)).
Then if you just so happen to have Internet Explorer installed you are asked to install Silverlight prior to viewint the site, and if you go to install Silverlight it recommends windows Vista.
So I ask you Microsoft; why are you running a advertising campaign for Windows Vista but one should preferrably have Vista installed to even view said advertisement??!! I mean viewers without internet explorer can’t even view your advertisement… what good is a advertisement if your target market CAN’T EVEN VIEW IT!!
Asinine.

Why is ‘Artistic Gymnastics’ a Olympic sport yet, Women’s softball is being abandoned? I’m sorry but Softball takes far more skill and athletic ability than ‘Artistic Gymnastics’.
Seriously? ribbon twirling? geeze..

Windows. While you can QoS and filter and such, nothing will be perfect, there will always be a few seconds of issue if Data & Voice are sharing the same internet connection. The only thing that truly works is installing a T1 line to customer premise solely for voice.
The reason this is, is that it’s a guaranteed fact that once a week someone in any office using windows will get a virus, that virus will spam or download or whatever as fast as the internet connection will allow. Thus causing havoc on VoIP quality. *sigh* why does M$ make my life so difficult?

I can’t stand the way Mary Carillo speaks. Is her jaw wired shut? does she know that most people move their jaw when speaking not just their lips? Is she pretending she has a puppet? I just don’t get it. Her speech is so ungodly awful and annoying it single handedly removes any sort of desire I have of watching the Olympics on NBC.
Get someone else to host for the love of god.
