Big Ass Table

25 06 2007

I love this video. “Take that Apple!”
  
I have SO MUCH to write about, it’s frightening.  Here’s the list:
1) Work
2) Gay Pride
3) iPhone 
4) Graduation 

Hmm. I thought there would be more for my list. Expect an update soon!





I’m sorry, my coffee table crashed

31 05 2007

I have to admit, this is pretty cool: http://www.microsoft.com/surface/. Called the “Surface Computer,” it is a tabletop touch screen system that allows users to interact with digital content using gestures. This must have been developed by some special team that they kept locked up at Microsoft so that no one else could interfere and screw it up.
Does this mean I should take back what I said about Microsoft in last week’s post? No, I don’t think so. It’s Microsoft, they’ll screw it up somehow. I can’t wait for the day when my coffee table will crash and taunt me with the blue screen of death.





I HATE WINDOWS

22 05 2007

No seriously, I really hate it. It is a bastard of an operating system. I was working on my mom’s Windows laptop because I need to use AutoCAD for a school project. Everything was going fine. A message box popped up, telling me that a Windows Update went ahead and installed a update that I had previously told it NOT to do. It wanted to restart the computer, but I was busy, so I clicked “Restart Later.” No problem. I keep working, and about 15 minutes later I walk away from the computer for no more than 2 minutes. I suddenly hear the “shutdown” chime play in the background. My first reaction: “OH SHIT.” Apparently Windows decided that I wasn’t competent enough to make decisions on my own and restarted itself anyway, after I told it not to. Dirty whore. I lost 15 minutes of work. I know that doesn’t sound like a lot, but I work REALLY fast in CAD. Fuck you Microsoft, fuck you for creating sub-par software that doesn’t work and bullying PC makers into subjecting their customers to its mediocrity. And a fuck you to Autodesk for not making a Mac-compatible version of AutoCAD. At least then I can use a computer that will do what I tell it to and not have to worry that it might stab me in the back when I’m not looking.
