From a dedicated Windows user

"I know Windows is awful. Everyone knows Windows is awful. Windows is like the faint smell of piss in a subway: it's there, and there's nothing you can do about it. It's grim, it's slow, everything's badly designed and nothing works properly: using Windows is like living in a communist bloc nation circa 1981. And I wouldn't change it for the world, because I'm an abject bloody idiot and I hate myself, and this is what I deserve: to be sentenced to Windows for life."

What Google thinks of Twitter and Google

The Next Web posted a screenshot yesterday of what Google thinks of Twitter when you typed, "Twitter is" as your search term. I figured, so what does Google thinks about itself? 

Just so you know, every time you type something in Google's search field, whether it's on Safari's search bar or directly on Google's website, you'll get a list of suggested searches based on what people search for the most.

Who you gonna call?

Hilarity at Microsoft Answers

When you wanna pirate Windows XP, go straight to the mothership, why the hell not? On the other hand, could have been a dare.

Okezone pretends a Microsoft ad is an article


Indonesian text behind the link. This is good for a laugh. 8 reasons for moving to PC by Okezone.

Some gems:

"Sembilan dari sepuluh komputer menggunakan sistem operasi Windows atau lainnya"
"Nine out of ten computers use Windows or other operating system"
Great, what does the other one run on, peanuts?

"Windows menawarkan lebih banyak jenis hiburan melalui beragam fitur yang dimilikinya dan bisa langsung dinikmati, sementara Mac tidak. "
"Windows offers more types of entertainment through its many features that can be immediately enjoyed while Mac does not."
You mean like Minesweeper and Solitaire?

"Beberapa situs hanya bisa diakses dengan sempurna melalui browser Internet Explorer yang ada pada Windows. Beberapa situs yang ada di internet membutuhkan aplikasi tambahan untuk bisa memunculkannya. Namun dengan Windows, hal tersebut tidak dibutuhkan"
"Some sites can only be accessed perfectly using Internet Explorer browser in Windows. Some sites on the Internet require add-ons to display them. But with Windows, it's not necessary."
So when you run Windows you don't need to install a PDF plugin, update your Flash plugin, install a QuickTime add-on, install a DivX or XviD plugin and all the other plugins on your browser?


[update] I've just discovered that that piece from Okezone was an incomplete and unattributed rip off of this piece by HarryMcCracken who also posted the opposite view, "Eight reasons why your next computer should be a Mac."

Pwned by 4chan, Time gives up


This is pretty hilarious. 

As Eric Schonfeld concluded at the end of that TechCrunch article, 

"Or maybe the point is to name an Internet celebrity and create a controversy so that people click through to read the results. Well played"

AIR: A runtime for Twitter clients?


The most interesting product of Twitter’s popularity, to me, has been the explosion of Twitter API client software. There are a slew of cross-platform Adobe Air-based clients, including Twhirl and TweetDeck. TweetDeck in particular appears to be the most popular interface for Twitter other than the Twitter.com web site. (One could be forgiven for assuming the entire point of Air is to serve as a runtime for cross-platform Twitter clients.)
