Magic iPhone

Just got done watching the iPhone Activation Video — 'cause with the announcement of the very reasonable service plans I've pretty much decided I'm getting one of these puppies — and I noticed a bit of an error in the video. The demonstration iPhone in the video is apparently an 8 GB model and starts off with 7.27 GB of storage.

But by the end of the video its capacity has increased tenfold!


iPhone: 75 GB Model

Well, that cinches it. If the iPhone's capacity magically grows as you add data, it's surely the most wondrous device ever, and certainly worth having.

I'll take three!

Abusive When Harried

I've determined that approximately 75-80% of all technical questions can be accurately answered with the response, "Because you are a dumbass."

Examples:

  • Q: Why isn't my computer working?
    A: Because you are a dumbass.
  • Q: Why did my computer freeze?
    A: Because you are a dumbass.
  • Q: Why can't I log in to the server (x)?
    A: Because you are a dumbass.
  • Q: Why can't my browser read the website (x)?
    A: Because you are a dumbass.
  • Q: Why can't I get online?
    A: Because you are a dumbass.
  • Q: Why can't I find my file (x)?
    A: Because you are a dumbass.
  • Q: Why is this piece of technology (x) so slow?
    A: Because you are an unbelievable dumbass.

Seriously folks, computers have become exceptionally reliable and predictable. If something's not working, well, frankly, it's probably your fault.

Now leave me alone. I have work to do.

Idiot.

Google Gone Deaf?

So the other day I was searching the term "Risso's dolphins" on Google. Something I'd read had referenced them, and I was curious what they looked like. So I type "Risso's dolphins" into that ever-familiar Google search field, and this is what I get back:


Google Search: Do I Stutter?

Uh, yeah. I did mean "Risso's dolphins." That's why I typed, "Risso's dolphins."

Seriously, Google, you're losin' it, man. Maybe you should see a doctor.
