Vote or STFU
Did you vote yet, motherfucker?
CT&T
I’ve always thought about switching to Cingular Wireless, mostly because of the Rollover Minutes thing. And I always thought it was odd that Cingular advertises in Colorado despite not offering service here.
And today, I found out I automatically have Cingular now. Huh.
MacOS X on a Centris 650
Can a 25mhz 68040 processor with 68mb RAM run the latest operating system from Apple?
Holy illiterate monkey Batman!
“I was sitting outside the classroom, waiting to go in, and I saw an airplane hit the tower — the TV was obviously on. And I used to fly myself, and I said, ‘Well, there’s one terrible pilot.'” George W. Bush
Apparently this is fake. But hilarious nonetheless.
Like the mythical half-horse…
Apparently the road version just wasn’t nerdy enough, now they have the Centaur:
Thanks, Macromedia!
I’d just like to go ahead and extend a few thank-yous to Macromedia right about now:
1. Thanks for making me delete the cached ActionScript 2 classes directory every time I export a SWF using AS2! I think it’s really cool that you won’t let me set a preference to automatically use the newest version of a class if the FLA resides on a server! Deleting that directory every time I export is a treat!
2. Oh, and your bug-checking tools can’t be beat! I mean, not telling me a MovieClip doesn’t exist when I try to use it in ActionScript but instead just doing nothing at all is tops! I mean, what MORON would type “UIScrollBar” instead of “UIScrollbar?”
3. Also, the fact that the Flex server is $12,000.00 and that FlexBuilder doesn’t work on Macintosh, I mean, this stuff is really ground-breaking. Let alone the fact that you can’t download developer versions of this stuff. I didn’t need that $8.99 and those 3 days in order to get a CD from you, anyway.
Hats off to Macromedia for being another awesome closed-source developer of software development tools!
Poetic Justice
Is it any wonder, that when browinsg a website for a company that purports to let you run emulated MacOS X on your PC, you run into a Microsoft .NET error?
Sure, you could run MacOS X on your PC, but why would you? If you want a Mac, fucking buy one.
Delicious Library
Delicious Monster has posted a new site for Library, the media catalog application that allows you to scan the bar code of your books, music, DVDs etc using your iSight and instantly have a digital catalog of everything you own media-wise. Not that it’s worth much if your computer itself burns up or gets stolen, but it could be nice to scroll through the iTunes-ish interface late at night in order to keep the wolves of insecurity at bay. Or something.
Vinyl 1.7
Ever miss that old vinyl sound you don’t get from your digital music? Even if you’re too young to remember vinyl as being the best option? Either way, you should check out iZotope Vinyl 1.7 for Windows and Mac:
Vinyl uses 64-bit processing and advanced filtering, modeling and resampling to create authentic “vinyl” simulation, as if the audio was a record being played on a record player.
