Tech: Dear Apple: Please don’t load OSX up with annoying ads

  • They applied for a patent to do just that. Yikes. Word on the street is that Apple applied for a scary-sounding patent which would allow them to place advertisements within a reduced-cost version of their operating system. The ads would be audiovisual in nature and would limit system functionality when playing. May we just say to Steve Jobs and company: Are you out of your )#&(!)(# mind? source

Tech: Despite this awful video, Windows 7 seamlessly launching today

  • A month ago, this video put Microsoft in danger of (again) not looking like they were with it when it came to Windows 7, especially after the Vista debacle. Fortunately for Microsoft, it appears they won’t have another repeat of Windows Vista on their hands. Unfortunately, nobody thought to make a video like this to explain how simple it is to upgrade from Windows XP. source

Politics: “I took my son to Hooters, and now my blog’s flooded with comments”

  • My 11 year boy has reached the age where girls at school are showing interest in him but he is not ready to reciprocate with equal interest in them. The trip to Hooters, I saw, as an opportunity to see how he conducts himself around women.
  • “Daddy blogger” Bob Elston • Describing his reasoning behind taking his 11-year-old kid to Hooters on his blog. The post, complete with photo of kids next to Hooters girl, created a lot of controversy due to the fact that, uh, some might consider it an “unorthodox” approach to parenting. We disagree. We suggest every 11-year-old go to Hooters specifically to annoy overly puritanical human beings. Have you ever been to Hooters? It’s no worse than an episode of “Beavis and Butthead.” • source
