Gizmodo Steals the Idea I stole from Perlow

Since the genesis of this blog was a great article by ZDNet writer Jason Perlow I can’t complain, but Gizmodo has “stolen” my idea and now they’re getting featured on ZDNet.  Do I feel cheated?  Nah!  Well, at least not nearly as cheated as I do by Vista, the bimbo.

Windows 7 Beta Man to the Rescue?

Right now, as I type, I am downloading the Windows 7 Beta.  I’m at 14% and counting.

“Traitor!”, you cry.

No, no, please let me explain.  I never said that Windows 7 was going to be a bad Operating System.  I haven’t tested it yet.  The early reviews are a decidedly mixed bag, but I’m actually rooting for Windows 7.

Why am I rooting for Windows 7?

Vista isn’t the only thing that Sucks

Yes, Vista sucks.  But you knew that already.  But Vista isn’t the only thing that sucks.  It seems that with all the technology we have at our disposal there are far too many things that are just way too hard.

Vanity of vanities, all is vanity, sayeth the Preacher.

In no particular order here are some things that are irking me today…

The Morning After

Ok, so this morning I awoke wondering if my purchase of windows7classaction.com was a late night pizza-induced dream. But nope, the blog is still here. In contrast to my Vista purchase I can’t say I have any “buyers regret” on the domain. However, a lot of people have taken the Vista plunge and then chosen to downgrade back to XP.

Windows 7 Class Action

I overslept this morning and after dropping my son off at school in a driving cold rain I hit Dunkin Donuts and returned home fortified with sugar and caffeine. Roused from my stupor by my guilty pleasures I began browsing my email when a ZDnet article grabbed my attention: Why Windows 7 Should Be Free. I admit I’m sometimes a sucker for hyperventilating blog titles, but the logic was immediately apparent to me and I raced through the article as sugar, caffeine, a brilliant idea, and the sweet smell of revenge coalesced into a sudden desire to DO something. “I’m mad as “H – E – double L and I’m not gonna take it any more”, I said to myself.
