This article was hilarious.
Favorite bit:
"Cue 10 years of nasal bleating from Mac-likers who profess to like Macs not because they are fashionable, but because "they are just better". Mac owners often sneer that kind of defence back at you when you mock their silly, posturing contraptions, because in doing so, you have inadvertently put your finger on the dark fear haunting their feeble, quivering soul - that in some sense, they are a superficial semi-person assembled from packaging; an infinitely sad, second-rate replicant who doesn't really know what they are doing here, but feels vaguely significant and creative each time they gaze at their sleek designer machine. And the more deftly constructed and wittily argued their defence, the more terrified and wounded they secretly are."

"I don't think the over 90 percent of the [population] who use Windows PCs think of themselves as dullards, or the kind of klutzes that somebody is trying to say they are," said Gates. "And I don't know why [Apple is] acting like it's superior. I don't even get it. What are they trying to say?" He continued, "Does honesty matter in these things, or if you're really cool, that means you get to be a lying person whenever you feel like it? There's not even the slightest shred of truth to it." -Bill Gates
OH SNAP APPLE!
He speaks the truth though. I don't understand how calling PC users idiots and comparing them to midlife crisising "dullars" would make people want to switch. Time for a new marketing tactic. Yes OS X is pretty good, but it's not half the things they claim. It's all about what you use your system for.

My favorite superbowl commercial this year:
All my friends hated it, and there definitely was a sadistic feel to half the commercials that aired. Something was just really funny and this commercial stuck with me.
Props to the Coke Grand Theft Auto ripoff. I really liked that one too.

Today is supposed to officially be the most depressing day of the year.
I find that pretty funny considering this is the mildest winter yet.

Ever wonder why your NES or SNES look like crap so many years later? Maybe you kept it in an entertainment center, or it's been in a box for years. Still it has that nasty moldy yellow-brown look.
Someone on the 'net was puzzled enough to check it out.
Another Unsolved Mystery put to rest!

This is part of the reason I really dislike the Democratic party.
Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer...
" Rice appeared before the Senate in defense of President Bush's tactical change in Iraq, and quickly encountered Boxer.
"Who pays the price? I'm not going to pay a personal price," Boxer said. "My kids are too old, and my grandchild is too young."
Then, to Rice: "You're not going to pay a particular price, as I understand it, with an immediate family."
The junior senator from California ap parently believes that an accom plished, seasoned diplomat, a renowned scholar and an adviser to two presidents like Condoleezza Rice is not fully qualified to make policy at the highest levels of the American government because she is a single, childless woman."
Geesh. I guess Boxer believe women belong in the kitchen and at home tending to children. How ridiculous can this get.
"Indeed, the least these critics can do is suggest an alternative that leads to success in Iraq rather than simply criticize."
Exactly. Because all the Democratic party ever does is complain and criticize and never offer any alternatives. Surrender is not an option when you're dealing with terrorism. It's an invitation for continued and more frequent attacks.
However Boxer is out of her mind. Don't make your party look bad because you're a bigoted idiot. Think about the big picture and stop being selfish assholes.

Cool Target info from Lifehacker.
Target's full prices end in 9. So the first price tag will be $14.99 or $27.99, something like that. Then, every time Target discounts the product, the final digit of the price drops. The lowest the last digit will drop is 4.
If you see something you want at Target and the price ends in 4, buy it. The price won't go any lower.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done.
Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that."

Generally I like American Idol. It's amusing and one of the few talent-based competitions on tv today. (So help me God if you say Deal Or No Deal I will take you out, there is NO strategy in that game)
Survivor was amusing but at this point it's more scripted than anything. Dancing With The Stars, ok I do like that show, and The Biggest Loser has a good premise like Celebrity Fit Club.
There's some genuinely talented people on Idol; Even though Clay Aiken didn't win, I liked his really gay song anyways. When Clay Aiken shut up Kelly Ripa by putting his hand over her mouth I think he deserved a Medal of Honor. It seems like the 2cd place contestant ends up getting a record deal no matter what. Ruben Studdard, Kelly Clarkson, all good singers and have put out good albums.
Now we come to Taylor Hicks....

If this is the best singer America can come up with in a nationwide talent search, it's time to just give up on new music forever. It's like someone threw Kenny Rogers and Air Supply into a blender, blended until what little talent there was went away and kept the hair and awkward dancing.
What I REALLY can't believe is that he had 2 albums before his Idol "debut." I have nothing against singers of any age or background, but this guy just doesn't work. Pearl Jam may have given me hope for great bands of the past to keep it up, but new music feels so screwed.

It's going to be an amazing week when you wake up remembering this little ditty:
Down, down baby, down by the rollercoaster,
Sweet, sweet baby, I'll never let you go,
Shimmy shimmy cocoa pop, shimmy shimmy rock,
I met a girlfriend, a triscuit, she said a triscuit, a biscuit,
Ice cream, soda pop, vanilla on the top,
Ooh Chelley, walking down the street, ten times a week,
I said it, I meant it, I stole my mamma's credit,
I'm cool, I'm hot, sock me in the stomach until I forget it!
Oh gradeschool!

I'm usually against going to get my flu shot every year. My mother will beg and plead for me to just go in, especially when our particular health care providers are loaded to the gills with it, in spite of the shortages country-wide.
But THIS I would go get.
"British scientists are on the verge of producing a revolutionary flu vaccine that works against all major types of the disease.
Described as the 'holy grail' of flu vaccines, it would protect against all strains of influenza A - the virus behind both bird flu and the nastiest outbreaks of winter flu.
Just a couple of injections could give long-lasting immunity - unlike the current vaccine which has to be given every year"
Story here.
I hope they do it.
