Google. Bastards.

So I wake to find that Google had disabled a GMail account. No reason at all. It cannot have been compromised – I use stupidly long passwords – I have not spammed, it is superlow volume, they just did it for kicks. As everyone who has ever tried to contact them knows Google has no [...]

Touch

Ever worked in a shop or a bar? You know those people that don’t actually give you the money but put it on the counter? Doesn’t matter if it’s a note or someone determined to empty their penny jar it really annoys me. It’s like you are not worthy, that you are an untouchable, that [...]

Outsourcing help

“So when you turn the television up your xbox starts making a noise?” Yeah right. I would never buy another Belkin product of any sort because they outsource their help.

Snitching on Mail.

I installed Little Snitch on the mini for amusement. It requires a restart. On that restart LS shows Mail.app wanting to make several outgoing connections.

Lame Tiger

Okay, so I know it’s all my fault for not using only Apple code on an Apple machine and I really should be just so damn happy because it looks so sleek and I can’t hold Apple to blame for anything at all because Steve Jobs is a GOD – but has anyone else using [...]

Ferrari 1

What a complete nonsense. McLaren are fined $100 million because they made a car with cheated knowledge McLaren are stripped of their points because they made a car with cheated knowledge Yet the drivers of the cars are allowed to keep the points. Now how the fuck does THAT work then? Answer: Mosley and Ecclestone [...]

Why is Jean Todt such a little shit?

Jean Todt admits that the Stepneygate scandal is sullying the good name of F1, but is adamant that the truth must come out. (and whose truth is that?) When asked whether he felt that McLaren deserved to be excluded from the Championship, Todt explained that the Italian marque had no particular outcome in mind. (Really?) [...]

Mac + mouse = crap control

Dear Apple, Please can you stop making shiny toys for your adoring zealots and instead find 5 minutes to write decent mouse drivers. In this arena Microsoft comprehensively thrashes you. As Pirelli once said “Power is nothing without control” and Apple mouse control sucks donkey sized ones.
