Kid Sells Video Games, Then Donates Proceeds to Hillary's Campaign {Switched.com}
May 13th 2008 4:36PM Her campaign is $20 million in the hole?! Yeah, I want her in charge of the country. She can't even balance her own books or control her own spending and he's going to pull the country out of our crippling debt. Freakin a, doesn't anyone today understand the concept of not spending more than you're taking in?

Lawyer Blames Video Games for NIU Shootings {Switched.com}
Feb 19th 2008 7:45PM Charles you're completely wrong. Do you know WHERE exactly he killed all these people? IN A GUN FREE ZONE! Looks like he didn't read the sign... Had someone with knowledge of how to use a pistol and the WILL, the could have been ended immediately. Police are minutes away, not seconds, and citizens should have the right of self defense.
Also, has anyone checked out the stats of school shootings since Columbine? They're all on these meds that fuck up your brain. If I had kids, I'd never put them on these meds. Pharma companies should be getting the treatment here, not video games.

Apple's New, Super-Fast Mac Pro Costs Up to $20,000 {Switched.com}
Jan 8th 2008 5:14PM I saw this post and have to vent about a recent experience with Apple. As a fan of OS X, right now I'm sick of apple and their condescending ads. Dad was in need of a new computer last november, so we visited the mac store and I showed him their line. He was sold, liked the idea of mac how it was easier than the MS world, and the damn thing just looked really nice. SO far, I can honestly say that this thing hasn't been easier than a comparable Vista PC. Every time I see one of those damn ads from their website I wanna punch the little girl on the right. First, the store didn't install 10.5 after advertising it, we had to do that ourselves, and the punk didn't even inform him. Fine for me who's been doing this for awhile, others need a little more hand holding. Second, I've never had so much trouble getting a printer to work, even back in the days of DOS an lpt ports. All the print options he had on his PC weren't on OS X. He tried calling the store for tech support and what a freaking joke. By the time he got a human, they told him to call apple's main number. He called apple waited for 20 minutes to get some call center that didn't speak english and you could hear about 20 people talking in the background, like some telemarketing firm. We gave up on this route and looked into it myself, turns out you had to install extra drivers off the CD. Fine, but nothing I expect from Apple. After we do this, printing on his fairly new HP still isn't working right. HP says we're using the latest drivers, but still can't utilize all the options on his printer that were readily available on his older PC running XP! No options for color quality, B&W, tray type, paper type, printing photos on the 4"x6" paper was a nightmare. This is still unresolved. Isn't anything graphics related supposed to be easier on a mac? That's what all the artsy people tell me. He gets a new scanner last weekend, and what a surprise, after installing the software and reboot (pretty lame for all your windows bashing), HP devices still don't list the scanner as installed. He called the store again and was talking to someone who had the nerve to say "there are no driver issues with lepord." Then what are all these posts on apple's own forums about then? Retard... Not only that but started to get angry with him. After more research, I see a driver update that fixed it for someone else. Going to install that tonight and see how it goes. Not against driver updates, but as long as you play these ads and tell people how much better it is over Vista, do your homework first.
Shitty tech support, lack of drivers well after release from hardware vendors, and a staff that doesn't seem to care about doing whatever it takes to ensure their customers are satisfied.
I'm calling the store tomorrow and speaking with a manager about returning this well after the 30 days. I've had enough, he didn't spend $400 more than a PC to get the same quality.
