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 [...]

Preinstalled “OEM” Software Needs to STOP

March 11th, 2009

This is a long one, but it is really a pet peeve of mine and I don’t know how I haven’t written about this before… I’m sure you all know what this junk is… it’s software that comes installed already on the computer when you buy a pre-built system from companies like Acer, Lenovo, HP, [...]

The GoogleUpdate.exe Plague

February 5th, 2009

Seriously… what the hell is up with this shit Google? I have now noticed this on all 3 machines I use on a regular basis… my desktop, my laptop, and my work computer. They all have at least 1 (if not more) GoogleUpdate.exe running on them, and it is hard to get rid of. Even [...]

TF2 Dedicated Server Rant

December 28th, 2008

Where to start with this one… I just spent the better part of 2 hours trying to configure a dedicated TF2 server with the Beetle’s Mod admin plugin… what appears to be the only functioning admin plugin out there worth a fuck for TF2. And you know where I’m at now?  FUCKING NO WHERE.  I [...]

Nintendo DS Wifi Sucks

November 22nd, 2008

1) It only works with 64 bit WEP encryption. (supposedly… I never got it to) Yup, you might as well just stick your dick in a hooker’s ass, it’s that unsafe. 2) It doesn’t work.  Period. To even get the damn thing to do a successful connection test I had to COMPLETELY disable encryption on [...]

Frank Caliendo is NOT funny

November 2nd, 2008

The title says it all. He is not funny. It’s bad enough I have to be subjected to his TERRIBLE impersonations and “jokes” every Sunday while waiting for my Bears game to come on, but this hack actually has commercials as well. Seriously… who has ever found this guy funny? His impersonations are so horrible [...]

Vista Bashing – I’m SICK of it!

October 28th, 2008

It seems that every single day I stumble on another article, newscast, or person, who is brainlessly bashing Vista.  I’m fucking sick of hearing it. Every single one of these articles I have seen appears to be written by some talentless hack who has either not used Vista, or someone who has no fucking business [...]
