Could be worse…they could have spontaneously combusted. Imagine the mess that would have caused.
My advice if you have a Zune that spontaneously reboots: Turn it into a glorified paperweight, then go out and buy an iPod. You’ll thank yourself later for it. ;)
I’ll admit it…I’m downloading this one so I can evaluate it. Call it morbid curiosity. I’m very curious if my hypothesis is right and Windows Vista is nothing more than an eight year long beta with Windows 7 being the gold release. Definitely will post up my findings after evaluating it a bit. ;)
I’ve always known that it doesn’t cost my cell provider anything to support text messaging. This is why I refuse to pay my cell phone carrier any more than I have to for text messaging. I get email on my phone; why do I need text messaging? It’s a racket and one that I think everyone should call their cell provider on. As far as I’m concerned, text messaging should be a free, unlimited service as part of your cell plan. It doesn’t cost your provider anything so why should it cost you anything? Ain’t logic a bitch!
When OEM’s continue to have a demand for computers with XP pre-installed, it can only mean two things: 1) Either computer buyers are delusional and don’t see the value of Vista (which is what Microsoft believes) or 2) buyers simply don’t like Vista and would prefer to stick with XP till Windows 7 comes out. The reality is that educated buyers are not delusional and know enough about Vista to make an educated decision. Well, not all buyers, but the ones that truly count are the ones causing problems for the OEM’s…corporate buyers! Personally, this is all just more signs that Microsoft truly needs to re-invent Windows. I honestly don’t think Windows 7 will do it for them. It’ll likely be too little too late. By then Microsoft’s market share will already have slipped by another 5% and will continue in a slow downward spiral.
This is crazy…but funny as hell! The funny thing is that, for all we know, there might actually be someone out there named “Lizard People” (pronounced Lee-zare-d Pee-play).
I’m fascinated by the concept of dark energy. The fact that Einstein factored in this into his theory of relativity makes me believe he knew something was there but wasn’t quite sure what it was. In other words, he had to put something in there to explain an unexplainable force, thus his greatest blunder.
As far as classic rock is concerned, I love to rock out with a little “Stranglehold” just as much as the next guy. But, really, other than being an ex-rocker, good with a bow and arrow, and a talk radio personality, what does Ted Nugent really know about the auto industry? Still, he makes some good points. He is right about one thing: Bailing out GM with billions of taxpayer dollars is the wrong approach. Personally, I just don’t see how forking over billions of dollars to that industry is going to help the “Big 3″ with their already failing business model.
