CNN Doesn't Like The CR48, Huh. Let's Break him to the ground, right here.

So Mr. Mangalindan, I loved your new post on CNN, NOT.

Quote #1:
"it totes a single-core Atom processor and 2 GB of RAM, typical parts for netbooks that sold two or three years ago. (Now, if you pick up a netbook at all, it probably has a more capable, dual-core Atom.)"
-I'll have you know, my Dell Mini 10V, and MSI Wind, from the same time period as what you are describing, both had a single core Atom processor, and 1 GB of RAM, unlike the newer, HD Video capable, Pine Trail in the CR48's with included double RAM.


Quote #2:
"The cursor jumps around, pages sometimes load slowly"
-That's because you're to retarded to realize Google is trying to get rid of the click, by using two finger tap, scroll and single click tap.


Quote #3:
"more than two or three open tabs can slow work to a crawl."
-Sorry, the CR48 doesn't support the browsing of more then one porn site.


Quote #4:
"As for video playback? Hit or (mostly) miss. Netflix isn't supported yet, while YouTube and Hulu are only watchable at their lowest settings, though even then, they'll occasionally stutter. "
-Seriously? Netflix? It's a PILOT program, what the hell did you expect. As for youtube and Hulu, I think the 30,000 some odd CR48 users disagree.


Well, at least he likes the stickers. How unappreciative....

Rant: Why American Radio Sucks

So i'm sure you've heard those annoying HD radio ads lately... No commercials eh?
We shouldn't have commercials in general.

How can you get around that? Listen to high school radio stations. They take advantage of other stations by making fun of them.

A great example is one station, which says in between songs: "Broadcasting from a small hill on top of a football field, this is ____" and a little boy says "What kind of station is this?". In reply, the man says "Shut up little boy" and so on.

I have taken so much hatred for US stations that I often use Wunder Radio on my iPod to get international stations in Italy that I remember liking during my trip last summer, such as Radio Subasio. These European stations play mostly all American music while adding a little bit of local culture and maybe a nice local deal or two every hour or so.

Try it out :D

Imagine the world without Bing Search. Wait, NOTHING would change

You know why? Because Bing is stealing Google's search results and denying it! If Bing was shut down, NO ONE would care other then the Microsoft employees who created it. NO ONE would go: "where's bing?" with a frown on their face. That's because Bing search is an emulated Google! And those would-be sad people would go right to google.com.

Face it Microsoft, GIVE UP. Not just on Bing, eventually, Chrome OS will replace computers in workplaces, Microsoft will be lower then linux one day.

Don't believe me? Look:

Because everyone searches juegosdeben1ogrande every night....

Weekly Rant: Commercials

Now, everyone hates commercials.
Kids seem to be the only ones who enjoy them -> Directly making parents cringe.

The latest commercial to baffle me was a Ford commercial. They were advertising a high RE-sale value against other cars. Doesnt that mean you are going to end up returning it? Hello!

If you are going to force people to watch ads, at least make it entertaining! Example: A new commercial shows a car doing 360's around a Christmas tree while wrapping the tree with lights. However, that is NOT going to make me instantly go out to buy the car!

Plus, to make it all better, ad-targeting based on the show you're watching is a flat out joke! I was in the room while someone was watching the show Jersey Shore (Don't make me do a weekly rant on that too....) and an ad came on for "The best pregnancy test!" Seriously?!

That's it, i'm done.....

Weekly Rant: Bon, Bon by Pitbull

Is this guy serious? He's Spanish-American. That song is Italian-American. His random blurts of Spanish in all of his popular songs clearly should not fit here. The song was already massacred in the last remix with a beat that made no musical sense.

It is clear that some songs do NOT deserve to be remixed after already being remixed, and this is one of them.

Remix:
