Everyone Knows It’s About the Stuff
Dallas, 1:10 AM (12/26): Ah, Christmas (or to be PC, Holidays). While everyone puts on a nice face and pretends that this time of year is all about family and joy and happiness, I know that it’s really just about sales, buying stuff, and presents. Take, for example, the Steam sale going on through January 3rd. I bought one of the daily deals today that was 75% off, I have three more things lined up to buy that are on sale for the full duration, and it wouldn’t be happening at all if not for the “holidays”. So, to all the holidays around this time of year, thanks for making PC games that much cheaper for me to buy.
Today I had to head down to HP to work on a friend’s computer (to stick with my effort to name people, it was Julz), and I got a great lesson in why Apple sucks so much!! Yes, Apple, your Airport Express router is just one little rectangular prism of suckage, requiring way too much effort to get working when any Linksys, Netgear, or D-Link router could be set up in 10% of the time. Here’s a tip, from MS* to you: don’t require people to use your horrendous little configuration program when a web interface is just as (if not more) powerful and infinitely easier to access. That is all.
*The included suggestion is no way representative of Microsoft blah blah blah…
