Wussy Switch

Apple – Switch – Real Stories

These are the “Switch” stories at Apple’s site — stories of people switching from using PC’s to using Macs. All well and good….

….why are they causing such an emotional reaction from me? I’m reading one and nearly start bawling. What the fuck is going on here? Is it that touching to me….what? No. No no no no. No.

I mean, that’s nice and all….no, wait. What the fuck? REALLY. Sorry — I can’t even express to you how freakish this is. How bizarre it is to find yourself….

I’m sick. I don’t own my own head today. It’s not my fault. It’s not me in here for real. It’s not really happening.

Doo doo doo doo. Okay, let’s go onto something else. Yeah.

Really like my hair this short.

This Modern English

Microsoft Visual Studio: Microsoft eMbedded Visual Tools

What the hell does “eMbedded” mean? Are they saying it’s E-Mbedded? Or is the M really what’s supposed to be emphasized? I can’t believe they would capitalize a word like that…

…which leads me to wonder about the meeting where this happened. Can you imagine these guys sitting around, these totally worthless lumps of flesh at a conference room table thinking, “What if we capitalize the second d? What could we make that mean?” “No, no! Let’s capitalize the ‘m’! It’ll look really cool!”

I think every company remotely connected with the computer industry should sue Microsoft. Serves ’em right for doing this stupid crap. No more ridiculous punctuation.

Hell, this goes for Apple, too. I’m sick of seeing products begin with a lower case ‘i’. I suppose now that they’ve started this thing, they can’t turn back though. Freaking i’everything. Doesn’t make any sense. “iMovie”, “iTunes”, “iPod” — iPod is the worst of them all because they’re telling me to not steal music, which means, more often than not, that I shouldn’t be downloading it from the internet…

blah blah blah.
