The great quote of the day comes from
Andrew Morton, on Microsoft: “The problems of having your balls in someone else’s sling are just enormous.”
⊗ If you choose to use a centralized service, then you should
accept the inherent weakness of centralized services.
⊗ Very
ingenious ploy to boost the number of searches you have there, Microsoft. I imagine it’s a lot cheaper than paying people to use your search.
⊗ Please stay on Windows. GNU/Linux is too much for you.
⊗ I’ll never understand how elite athletes are willing to risk everything they have by
doing something stupid.
⊗ Kiyoshi Takenaka quite nicely sums up why the
Nintendo Wii is dominating Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Sony’s PS3, “Instead of offering lifelike graphics and fast action to appeal to hard-core gamers, who are mostly young men, Nintendo has wooed a wider audience including game novices, women and the elderly with innovative but easy-to-play titles.”
⊗ I’m torn. I like Joey Chestnut
to win, but I can’t go against the great Takeru Kobayashi, even with the supposed injured jaw.
⊗ A lot of people have bought into
the hype.
⊗ Google Reader
is broken. /me sobs. I guess I’ll have to go back to using
Liferea.
