Be, Inc Files Suit Against Microsoft for Violations of Antitrust Laws
I’d almost say this is a David/Goliath thing but we all know that Be is simply grasping at straws.Their OS wasn’t even popular when it was in its heyday – the early 90’s, before Windows ’95 and Microsoft’s subsequent taking over of the universe.
And BeBoxen were blue. Everyone knows you can’t sue someone if your computers are different colors.
Just a collection of some of our best rants:
Okay, enough narcissism for one day.
Actor who plays Steven in [Dell] ads charged with pot possesion
Actor Benjamin Curtis, the well-known Dell Computer Corp. pitchman Steven who says on television, Dude, yer gettin a Dell, was arrested for possessing marijuana in New York, officials said Monday.

While sound and sight go hand-in-hand in most mediums, until recently web publishers practically forbade advertisers from using audio in standard web advertising. Not any more.
I can barely deal with the NewsToday chime when it loads in a background tab. I can’t even imagine how awful ads with sound would be. Oh wait — yes I can… Ater using Earthlink’s portal for a few months when I was a subscriber, they added a Flash ad to the top of the main page. Every time you loaded it (which because it was a portal homepage was often) the animation started over again, including the sound. I quickly switched to my.yahoo.com.
Looks like a wanna-be GTA:Vice City, only without the actual 3D game-space, intriguing storyline, personality or anything else that makes GTA a great title.The lame screnshots.
This is infuriating, and is more proof that Republicans are evil. You heard me. All of ’em.
The Bush administration has chosen Jerry Thacker, a Pennsylvania marketing consultant who has characterized AIDS as the “gay plague,” to serve on the Presidential Advisory Commission on HIV and AIDS.
Judging by the progress bars, the ATM I used this morning was Mac-based. How odd.
