Why Powermat Fails

October 21st, 2009

So lately I have been bombarded with these “Wirelessly Charge Your Shit!” ads from Best Buy for a product called “Powermat”.  So I did some looking in to it and decided it is one big ass bucket of fail.  They claim it to be convenient, an energy-saving, and neater. First off, lets take a look [...]

Google Continues Evil Behavior

August 20th, 2009

I have previously written about Google’s evil behavior.  It appears Google is trudging on down the dark path of doing anything it can to infest your computer. Tonight I needed to update my Divx codec.  So naturally I downloaded the Divx installer and began installing.  In the middle of installing Divx, what do I catch [...]

UPS Mutilated My Parcel

August 10th, 2009

Well, it’s a mystery as to what the hell happened to my parcel, but it looks like it has been to hell and back… When I received it it was folded in half and covered in packing tape.  Upon closer inspection, it looked like someone has cut it in half and taped it back up. [...]

UPS Should Go Out Of Business

August 7th, 2009

When you’re a company who has ONE job… delivering packages reliably and on time… and that is the ONE thing that is impossible for you to do, you should probably just fucking close up shop. Every damn time I am shipped something UPS it is a fucking disaster.  Today was no different.  I had been [...]

Windows 7 Home: Your very own crippled OS!

August 7th, 2009

With Windows 7 RTM hitting official Microsoft channels, I figured I’d load up the final version of Windows 7 and check it out.  I’ve commented in the past about being completely unimpressed with 7 and for the most part, that is holding true, with some added hatred for the big-wigs over at Microsoft for arbitrarily [...]

HTC Fundamental Hardware Problems

June 28th, 2009

No, this post is not about my Fuze.  My Fuze has actually been a very good phone.  It has yet to really piss me off, especially like the 8525 did on a daily basis to me. Today I got the urge to play with some different Windows Mobile builds, and since I have had my [...]

Windows 7 – Just keeps getting dumber

April 26th, 2009

Well, I played around with the Windows 7 beta a while back, but not too much. Recently the Windows 7 Release Candidate 1 came out, so I decided to pop it in and see what is new, and what I’ve found is painfully disappointing in most cases. Microsoft is continuing in their tradition of dumbing-down [...]

Acer support can go pound sand

March 31st, 2009

Acer, quite possible the shittiest, yet most popular, cheap ass computer company out there.  Why are they so popular?  Because their systems are dirt cheap.  Unfortunately you do get what you pay for.  You pay for shit, you get shit.  Acer shits on it’s customers all day long. I’m pretty sure that e-machines put out [...]
