The Sarah Palin Quote Generator

September 30th, 2008 in Society |

Some decisions that have been made poorly, also rallying against and we’ve got to remember what the desire is in this nation at this time.

Astonishing, just how close to the real one it is.

New Sascha Cohen Movie

September 30th, 2008 in QuoteVault.org |

Via en.wikipedia.org

„Patrons were lured to an event billed as cage fighting, held at a Convention Center, by print and Craigslist advertisements, promoting "hot girls", $1 beer and $5 admission. 1500 people attended the event, and were greeted by signs that informed them that they were being filmed. No cell phones, video, or cameras were allowed inside. Instead of hot girls and cage fighting, the acts taking place became homosexual in nature, and people threw chairs and beer at the performers."

New Sascha Cohen Movie.

The new Sascha Cohen aka Borat, Ali G Movie already made me smile. I have great expectations. I hope he won't someday get shot during his endeavours of exposing the ugly sides of society

Most users are idiots

September 24th, 2008 in QuoteVault.org |

Via arstechnica.com

„The results suggest that a familiarity with Windows dialogs have bred a degree of contempt and that users simply don't care what the boxes say anymore."

Most users are idiots.
This displays a problem I have long experienced myself. However being rather aquainted with PC's it didn't affect me too much. But someone without the obvious technical knowledige will likely just confirm every possible dialog, which explains the current state of virii, phishing and malware from a users point of view – without any major need of critizing the vendors.

Microsofts new anti-Get-A-Mac campaign was made on Macs.

September 22nd, 2008 in Technology |

Good Grief. How can something like this even happen? In all cases, if I’d work at the responsible agencies, I’d doublecheck every bit of metadata before it leaves the house. But then again the whole campaign, after the Seinfeld-Kick, seems to have been drafted and created in a really rather short amount of time. So I’d wager that these errors are due to time-constraints instead of lacking experience. Still not good.

Windows 7

September 19th, 2008 in Technology |

So the first Windows 7 Screenshots are out. They depict enhanced versions of Paint and Wordpad. It’s remarking to see that the Ribbon Style, well known from the new office, seems to have made it’s way into the whole OS. While I like that, I wonder about innovation. Paint just looks as crappy as ever. We have 2008 and the next Version of Windows’ (supposedly 2010) Paint will contain the very same basic set of features we already had in Windows 95, about 15 years ago? Microsoft seems to just build the very same OS over and over again.

Google Chrome As An OS

September 3rd, 2008 in Uncategorized |

Most should already have figured this out by now, but John Gruber finds a entry in the Chromium Developer Documentation that is Spot on:

In the long term, we think of Chromium as a tabbed window manager or shell for the web rather than a browser application. We avoid putting things into our UI in the same way you would hope that Apple and Microsoft would avoid putting things into the standard window frames of applications on their operating systems.
