Just as you imagine it, comedy get’s worse and worse… but if jacking off is your thing we’re all going to hell anyways…

iPad and Apple have let me down

by Robrob8 on Jan.27, 2010, under Other stuff, Rant

Apple's iPad 2010

Apple's iPad 2010

Is anyone else out there as disappointed as I am about Apple’s iPad?

I mean, what the hell??!!

A 10gb iTouch is something I can buy already. Not to say it isn’t a great little music and video player, but the hell of it is, I don’t need another one that’s 9.7″ large.

And I don’t need another reason to keep putting money into Apple’s deep pockets. I mean, if I could buy anything and put it into the iPad I might be convinced to get one, but not just to put only Apple designated content into something I own… again.

I was hoping for a tablet that had a webcam (or two, front and back), a lot of hard drive space (maybe a solid state drive?), the real Mac OS X, touchscreen (Ok, it has one) and could do all that I can do now with my little Acer Aspire 1410, or my large 17.3″ HP Pav DV7 like an HDMI output.

Maybe version 2 will come with all I want. Sorry Steve, you just didn’t do all I had hoped for.

I am going to watch…

by Robrob8 on Dec.20, 2009, under Rant

I am going to watch the movie “The Pelican Brief“.

I don’t know what hold this movie has on me but when I’m feeling down or sad this movie always picks me up. Just like listening to 54-40 songs and dwelling in the lyrics as the world swirls around me.

Do you have a favorite “feel better” movie?? Or musical choice?

Outlook Express + Windows 7 Upgrade = No Email

by Robrob8 on Nov.16, 2009, under Other stuff, Rant

Windows 7

Windows 7

I feel obliged to warn you that if you’re considering a Windows 7 upgrade from Vista and you use Outlook Express as your email client that you WILL LOSE YOUR EMAIL!

To avoid losing all of your email messages and all of your contact information use the update to the Windlws Live services before you slide in the Windows 7 upgrade.
And back up all your shit too, before you start the upgrade installation.

If you are not using Windows Mail, a part of Microsoft’s “Windows Live” services, and you are using Outlook Express, you MUST back up your emails, back up your contacts (just to be safe) and then install the Windows Live services BEFORE you upgrade to Windows 7.

There, have I said it enough times?

If you’ve LOST all of your email messages and email contacts and don’t know why, then this is why:

Microsoft no longer bundles any email program with the Windows 7 operating system. So if you are not using the email program that can only be downloaded from Microsoft as part of the Windows Live services you will lose all your email stuff when you upgrade your OS to Windows 7.

There, I’ve said it enough times. You lost all of your email stuff because you didn’t know this, but now you do.

Water on the Moon is a HOAX

by Robrob8 on Nov.13, 2009, under Rant, Videos

The NASA story that water has been found on the moon after the suicide bombers last month are a HOAX.

I find it very odd that the only people that can verify that there is water on the moon are the very same people that spent the money looking for water on the moon.

Can you say BOONDOOGLE?

- CNN News: NASA finds ’significant’ water on moon

- CNET: NASA spacecraft confirms water ice deposits on moon

- FOXNews: NASA Moon Crash Found ‘Significant Amount’ of Water
