You WILL Watch Commercials!

Did your hear that Philips, a.k.a., Royal Philips Electronics of the Netherlands, has filed for a patent on technology that will force televisions viewers to watch commercials! You can read about it here, but in summary, the technology will allow broadcasters to freeze a channel while a commercial is playing! Apparently Philips knew this probably [...]

Re-re-re-re-re

Somebody out there is just not listening! And I think that’s rude. Plain and simple rude!

Did I not already blog about the annoyances of upgrades and re-releases? Yes, I did! Here’s the link. And allow me to quote myself:

"But that isn’t enough. Upgrading products to get my money is one annoyance, but there’s also the [...]

Upgrades and Re-Releases

If you’ve talked to me much in the past few years, you know that I’m really, really, really sick of upgrading things. Cell phones, desktops, PDAs, laptops, videotapes to DVDs, software, cars, homes, digital cameras, televisions, stereo equipment, monitors, etc. I’m sick of it.

Oh Well. Sigh.

I had a lovely, sarcastic, poetic, sweetly, ranting blog for this evening…

And, one more thing, Apple’s actions have once again proven my belief: never buy Apple products for Christmas. They frequently have major product announcements [...]

More details about the Pride and Prejudice DVDs have been released. Unless something changes, it looks like the Region 2 release (Europe, Japan, Middle East, etc.) will have more extras than the Region 1 release (U.S. and Canada).

Some of the Region 2 extras are things that are already available on the Internet; for example, [...]

SPAM $#*!&# BAM $#!%^&!

Is it just me or have you also gotten a sudden increase in spam!?!?! The past couple of weeks, just in time for Christmas, I’ve been getting more and more spam!

This does not make Missyisms happy.

Why haven’t more measures been put in place to stop spammers? Yes, I know all about filters, etc., but [...]

To err is human, to really foul up…

…you need a computer! I have spent most of the evening trying to get the compression software, specifically StuffIt Deluxe 8.5 for Windows, on my computer to work! I have run the repair feature, I have uninstalled—this caused other problems and I had to run System Restore, then I had to uninstall again, then I [...]
