Crap and more crap

Submitted by auramac on March 28, 2009 - 18:37.

Y'all can buy the crap that is Windows, follow the Microsoft butt-kisser that is the author of this "reporting," and have a nice life.

I just returned from the mall, stopped by the Apple Store and Best Buy while I was there. It is quite evident to me why the PC's and Macs I saw were priced as they were- the PC's were mostly real ugly crap. I used to be a fan of Toshiba's, but their new laptops are ugly as sin, as HP's shiny black plastic is and Dell's are just.. ugh.. Dells.

And that's just the hardware! Both Best Buy and Apple had Macs- with Mac OS X. Long term cost of ownership- much cheaper than PC's. User experience- priceless.

Unlike the idiots in the Microsoft commercials, I own Macs but work as a cross-platform Tech Support Specialist. I even bought a PC to broaden my horizons and help my PC-using friends.

Today, I have no interest in running Windows on my Mac or any PC.

If I'm gonna buy a car, I'll buy a Honda or Toyota- used, if necessary. I don't like junk.

And I appreciate innovation and quality. That's why I'll use a Mac, and I don't care if you don't.

Not-so-Swell Season

Their music is my favorite of the last several years. I was overwhelmed by the movie and them- I was bummed by the movie's ending but now even more bummed by their real split. I am reassured they will continue to make music together (for now), but a good deal of that music's attraction is the palpable love it suggests and reflects. Those harmonies are orgasmic- to think they're going through the motions or hearing that music in a different context now is painful to me. Guess it didn't hurt Fleetwood Mac or many others- but my favorite YouTube clip is The Swell Season performing Dylan's You Aint Goin' Nowhere, and the entire time he can barely refrain from kissing her, she's so cute. Finally he does, mid-song, she blushes, and the crowd goes nuts. It's so sad that moment is over.

Windows 7 blabbers

How would anyone know yet when and if Windows 7 "works?" More examples of people blabbing about things they know nothing about. Gates retired as CEO; Steve sat out a keynote. Not quite the same thing.

I remember some Mac "journalists" claiming at first glance that Vista looked "fresh.." then we all quickly found out what a mess it was. Windows 7 may be better, but there's a much bigger problem, one that will persist- it's still spray-painted DOS. Unlike Mac OS X, which is a completely different OS than Mac "Classic," Windows is still Windows. And it requires annual subscriptions to the best and most anti-virus and spyware utilities you can afford.

CBS6 News

Liz Bishop and partner seem to think that "She Loves You" is the gold standard by which all other Beatles recordings, past and newly discovered, should be measured. Therefore, why would Paul McCartney even think of tampering with our memories of this one, great hit by releasing this 14-minute previously unheard experimental recording done by the group. I really doubt that hearing this new song will alter She Loves You's place in history, and certainly won't change our way of hearing A Day in the Life and Eleanor Rigby. Might be nice, actually, played back to back with Revolution #9.

Sigh. Sounds like "Smallbany" TV News.

More on tattoos

I find tattoos repulsive. They literally hurt my eyes. They're not exercises in rebellion or individuality- they're a moronic fad that quite simply, LOOKS trashy even if the person isn't. As an artist and painter- I am appalled by the defacement and mutilation of God's creations. Philosophy aside, I just think they're ALL ugly- the plastering of ink on rock musicians, the little butterflies on ankles, the horrible distractive symbol on a woman's back, belly, or hip- no, what turns me on are the gorgeous, unmarred curves and expanses of unmarked, unpierced, virginal flesh that we were all born with, whatever the color, size, or shape. That blotch of ink, no matter how meaningful to the misguided soul, is simply ugly as hell.

Blog moved

Testing- moved blog from fading AOL to.. Google?....

Palin sucks

First of all, Mr. X is full of crap. If he's a democrat or a
journalist, I'm Joe the Plumber. And Joe the plumber isn't even Joe
the Plumber- another pathetic joke from the McCain campaign. "Mr. X"
is as full of hatred as all the other pro-Palin and anti-Obama morons
and bigots. People aren't jealous of Sarah Palin- they're terrified of
her and McCain running for president! Otherwise, who cares?
Interesting that the people bothered by attacks on Palin could care
less what others are saying about the Obamas. And I hate to break it
to you, kiddies, but you and your parents need professional
counseling for your bigoted hatred and a more effective education.
White trash smells. Or you're all sociopaths, like Mr. X.
