About this Ipad thing already....

Okay, something I must say, what's up with all these people and their particular penchant for bad names? Tell me? What's up with that?

I remember when I was told that Microsoft was coming out with a new operating system to replace "XP". My first thought was "Why?" My second thought was, "It's too soon you morons, and you still haven't got all the holes patched up in this one yet." However, when I heard what they were calling the Beta I was intrigued....."Longhorn", Ooooh "Longhorn".

Sounds almost like something your mother is going to slap you-about doesn't it?

There was sort of a snorting of a bull and muscular, leathery, sweatiness about the name. As if it was gleaned from the Montana sky to grace your desktop with its meaty format.
However, somehow, somewhere, someone got it in their head that Microsoft might be better served with another name.

It probably didn't go like this:

"Say let's try another name?"
"Well, like what?"
"Well, let's name it after a really cool car."
"Hmmm, let's name it something like, 'Cougar'?"
"No no, we want something to conjure up visions of home."
"Humph, okay, let's name it 'Road master'!"
"Is it a navigation system or an operating system?"
"Yeah, you're probably right."
"Let's name it after the first car I ever drove!?!"
"Ford!?!"
"No! Let's name it after my dad's rusted out old station wagon and call it 'VISTA'!!!"

And so, the calamity that was VISTA was born.

So we take this walk along our digital lives for a short time and we play with our Ipod's and mess with our Iphones, and then one day we wake up and on the news, here's little Stevie Jobs with the next great technical thing and what does he name it?

Ipad.

Ipad? Really? Ipad? That's a joke right? You're not really going to name it Ipad are you? I mean, why are you guys giving operating systems and information interfaces names that other operating systems and laptops and even mini laptops are going to beat up these operating systems, information interfaces about? Did you name your kid a name that he was going to get beat up by other kids about like, "Günter" or "Kit"?

With massively sweaty palms should you be sending this device into the world….Massively sweaty palms….Because honesty, if this doesn't work out the damage to your ego is going to be astronomical.

"Of all the names that Apple had reportedly secured--Apple Tablet, iTablet, Magic Slate, iSlate--I think it's safe to say that no one truly believed that Apple would name their newest product the iPad. Especially women."

Who needs opinion columnists when you have Twitter? Once the hub of micro-punditry recovered from a molasses-like slowdown amid chatter surrounding the launch of Apple's iPad, it became clear that the Twittering masses had a thing or two to say to Steve Jobs about his pretty new gadget.

Stevie….Did you get a package in the mail that looked like some rainbow colored windows and in it there was a package that said "Eat me" and you did?

It will be okay buddy…We'll try to fix this, we will……There, there- there, there.

You could have called it "The Information Station" and it would have gotten less grief.

ADDENDUM AND BIG NASTY MISTAKES THAT STINK LIKE THINGS THAT REALLY REEK!

Pete Yates pointed out something over top of his desk.
He mentioned that I didn't get the irony of this story and I concluded that there are days I have to slapped in the face with the fish and then told it's an Asian Carp....

This was the headline he saw:Guy kills brother in court over who will use the bathroom first.
http://www.krgv.com/news/local/story/Man-in-Court-for-Allegedly-Killing-His-Brother/bmESoSrfl0alEtkD8kV7HQ.cspx
What I saw was: Investigators tell us the two argued over who would use the restroom first. Zachariah Hooper allegedly grabbed a gun and shot his brother in the neck. Jeremiah Hooper later died at the hospital.

Pete Yates said: "I think it's just a poorly written headline.  The man is in court after shooting his brother, not in court and then shooting him there."
And he is right.
It stinks like uncooked chicken skin left in a trash can for six days, outside in 85* weather.
What I thought was bizarre in sort of a "Jesse James" manner, was that his brother was shot over bathroom privileges....

Can't blame us that the story in and of itself is a double header of weirdness.

Thanks again Pete!

Possession with intent to smoke and sell.
Which would be a great name for a Marijuana store, if Marijuana ever gets legalized. "With Intent to Smoke and Sell" and people would get to the point where on the weekends they would say to their wives, "Say, honey could you stop at the 'Smoke and Sell' and pick me up some weed?'"
I'll tell you, if they legalized pot....Look at the revenue we could get:

1) There would be the pot alone- being sold as cigarettes.
2) People would be more likely not to drink and drive because you sit on the couch and watch cartoons and eat Cheetos.
3) There could be fines for "Sitting in the park under the influence." Simply because people who do weed really don't do anything except sit and look and laugh at the world.
4) Doritos sales would fly out the roof. (When I was in Jamaica, people would walk by smoking pot and you would get a contact buzz, because I don't smoke period, so that was the only way I would come in contact with it; and even with the contact buzz, I was eating a whole bag of salt and vinegar chips....Yeah).
5) We could once again purchase hemp rope without getting odd looks and it could be grown for those purposes again in the United States.

Just a thought.

Guy kills brother in court over who will use the bathroom first.

Wow, I think this tops the gunslinger that shot someone for snoring. I mean A) it's your brother....B) it's in court. So your already in jail and chances are whatever you've done you've pretty much locked yourself up for that, and on top of that now your in jail for killing your brother.

Well, look at the bright side, chances are if you ever get out of jail the recession will be over....Maybe....

Police Investigating Shanty Break-ins in Otsego County

and the story starts like this:
Shanties are being broken into in Otsego County, now several ice fishermen are missing equipment.

Now here's my thing, fishing shanties in and of themselves are not by any means permanent structures, if they were they wouldn't survive the lake becoming a liquid again. So honestly, how hard would it be to break into one? Bigger than that why would you leave your gear in there? For one, the lake could go through a warm up, the ice could crack and melt and your stuff would crash through and be underwater. And it's like leaving the keys in your car and the doors unlocked, in a big city and believing no one will bother it.
I mean come on!

Sorry, I'm not getting into a bed that some random stranger that's getting paid less than they ought, is getting into simply to warm it for me. I have a hard time allowing myself to be massaged by someone that I didn't have a long meaningful relationship with or that didn't at least buy me dinner first.

I have this feeling that-like most services that bigger hotel chains offer-this one will be scaled down in third world countries to mean that the resort's owner's kids will come in, in their shorts and t-shirts and climb into your bed with sandy feet and warm it up for a Peso or Jay, depending on your choice of third world country.

About the time he got into the second wind of his story the passenger on the other side of him had decided that it would behoove her to find something interesting to read about in the Sky Mall magazine. Later, she inadvertently bought a George Foreman and a Pet bed for her dog. Which was weird because she hadn't had a dog since 1982.

The 'Devil' Writes Pat Robertson A Letter

By Frank James
http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2010/01/the_devil_writes_pat_robertson.html?sc=fb&cc=fp

Pat Robertson should be ashamed of himself and I'll tell you why. He's doing nothing kind by promoting something as fact that might just be a myth or legend. On top of that the writer of this letter should have also put in there the absolute desolation that it makes those very religious people feel when he says things like that. I mean, think about it. A person that has not only become desolate because of the extreme tragedy that they are experiencing, but also because a prominent religious leader has now told them that they are damned by association.
...I mean it wouldn't be too hard for a very superstitious person to feel that now, they'd have nothing to loose, so why not end it all.

You must be very careful that you don't judge people like that. Seriously. I mean, it's one thing to say, "This is a silly article." or "These are silly headlines." or "This was just hilariously stupid." I mean, I am the first one to say that I do stupid and silly things and name articles stupid and silly names- all the time. I act stupid and silly sometimes. I am not immune and everyone knows that. But to say that someone is damned by association..Errrr...I don't think that I would do that Pat....I just don't think I would.
Your taking on a lot of responsibility that is so very very very far beyond your pay-grade.

You've got the same line to the Savior as I do dude. You're no better than I. So, come down off that bench. You don't have an eye into another persons heart.

Judge ye not lest ye be judged.Remember that?
