MS FAIL

Upgrade at your own risk - classic

Accoring to NewWin.com, the new IE 8 is incompatible with over 2,400  major sites and counting. These are sites that do not render correctly in IE 8 and require an IE 7 layer to be running to display…among the sites are the following:

• msn.com.cn
• microsoft.com
• yahoo.com
• ebay.com
• facebook.com
• apple.com
• flickr.com
• dell.com

Yup that’s right…Microsoft.com cannot be rendered properly using the newest versin of it’s native browser! See the current list (and growing) HERE

Geek Fashion for the Pocket Pen-Protector Set

Remember the stories your decrepit uncle Herb used to tell you about his salad days? He was one of the original Pascal programmers back in 1973 when his flared polyester bell-bottoms were all the rage and his mutton-chops and horned rim glasses did in fact contribute to his success in playing the field? He was the first to have a Magnavox Odyssey at home and used to seduce his pray with Pong and martinis. Later be became something of a stud when Asteroids and Space Invaders ware released. In the ’80s he began losing his hair and sadly morphed into the stereotypical programmer complete with the pocket pen protector. He still recalls his days with those video games with that special far-away look, but doesn’t play them anymore….and he’s a bigger geek then ever. Imagine his excitement when he discovers that he can now buy an Asteroids or  Space Invaders TIE! Yup, that’s right…classic video games are now available to wear around your neck. Best of luck getting laid. : )

What is the difference between “record of the year” and “album of the year”? Jonas brothers still blow mightily, and I think it’s time that somebody tell Stevie Wonder that the long mini-braid just aint working any more…Dude, your hairline is receding back behind your ears…this is not a pretty look…all reverence aside.

Shepard Fairey Busted In Boston

It’s remarkable that in the very city that prides itself as the birthplace of freedom, the place where the earliest Americans dumped tea in the harbor to protest unfair taxation as an assertion of their freedom as a free people, that the police saw fit to arrest Shepard Fairey on the way to his his first solo art exhibition. Can you say “Douchebag?” And no, I am NOT referring to Shepard Fairey, but to Boston’s finest.
