Also I wanted to address one issue and thats Maui Fever. I think the show is totally bullshit, the kids arent from hawaii, they’re actors! Give me a fucking break, one of them was in Lords of Dogtown. Does this mean the show is bad? not entirely, its bad because its a fake reality show that takes place in Hawaii but doesnt include any local people, am I the only person that sees something unseemly about that? Anyway if you have similar feelings about it you can express them here I choose to just complain because signing the petition would just make some moke who beat me up in school happy. Fuck everyone
released on Jan 30. i actually haven’t got my copy yet - ironically i received my copy of office 2007 on the 30th, not vista.
anyway, will probably put up a review of office 2007 later - but so far it looks good. been using mostly outlook at this point, and it’s sllliiiicccck.
here’s an old school clip from macworld boston 2007 - the one where gates speaks through an uplink showered with boos from the crowd. best line from jobs: ”we have to let go of the notion that in order for apple to win, microsoft has to lose.”
i wonder if MSFT regrets investing in apple, rather than just letting it die a slow death.
Ok. This might seem blasphemous but I’m going to come out and say the woot-off is bullshit. Its one day of all crappy items that didn’t sell on each of their respective days and now they bundle it together and start selling it all over again.
Don’t get me wrong, I think this is a great strategy for the company. I’m just sick of looking at 20 ipod speaker combos waiting for some poor sucker to buy them just so we can move on.
…And there’s the elusive Bag of Crap, let me tell you something, I’ve very doubful anyone gets anything more than crap. There’s always some fool bragging that he got the ultimate suprise gift. I love the economics of the BOC, they sell 1500 items at 5 dollars a piece =7500 All on the rumor that some guy got something good buying a BOC some time ago. Genius
is it me, or is the current woot off sucking pretty hard. it’s always the same crap, bluetooth headsets, gps systems, mp3 players, digital cameras. even the f’ing leakfrog made it back. anyway, the last several woot offs have been really disappointing. the last one didn’t even have a bag of crap. and even when they do have the bocs, it’s just ridiculous waiting for some window to refresh cuz woots servers get overloaded.
