TTC Problems? I Blame Layton!

Mon, 08 Feb 2010 13:31:25 -0500

I’ve been unhealthily obsessed with the TTC strike for a couple days now and with the Work-to-rule campaign, I’m even more so now. I’d share my thoughts with you, but you can just see that on my Twitter feed. I’ll spare you that much, but I won’t spare you this:

The mentality of these workers in the public sector is ludicrous. First the City of Toronto workers, then the TTC workers. The only two in Toronto striking. You don’t see this in the public sector. Why? A few reasons:

1. Apathy: Union workers tend to become more lazy and used to their fat pay cheques. They tend to demand more for nothing. his doesn’t happen in the private sector. Why? They expect results.

2. The NDP Party: More specifically, Jack Layton. These guys continually reinforce my first point. They bow down to the union worker and forget about the rest of this country. There’s more to this country outside Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal. There’s a difference between giving a worker their rights and giving them more than they deserve.

3. Entitlement: This kinda ties into point number one, but it’s worth mentioning separately. No one should get something for nothing, but that’ what’s going on here. If I went to work on an overnight shift and slept I would be fired. Hands down. The guy in this photo was only suspended. Why? I can’t even explain that one. He’ probably been doing it for so long, he thought it was okay. It’s not okay. Since when did we think we could do whatever we want whenever we want on the job and expect more? This is fucking ass-backwards!

I got nothing else to say. here’s my Twitter feed for more TTC/City hate.

Wow! That sounds about right! Fact checker! Anyone!? Do we have a fact checker here?

The Official Wife Crying at Movies Site :

I think I’ve found the best website ever! Here’s a taste of what’s offered:

It seems a little much to be real. I haven’t decided if this is staged or not yet, but it is pretty fucking funny. Visit the site and check out some other movies she cries at.

So, being the awesome person I am, I put this together for my little Lost premiere. It’s not prefect, but neither am I. It took about 2 hours to make and about 10 minutes to eat tomorrow! GO LOST!

Here’s the first 5 minutes of Lost Season Six, episode one. Extreme Spoiler alert!

Just for fun, here’s a funny video about Lost fans done by The Onion. It actually has Damon and Carlton in it. Pretty funny stuff.

Hands on with the iPad

Fri, 29 Jan 2010 17:42:00 -0500

So, it’s a calendar, photo viewer (not an editor), map, eReader, Apple’s keynote (PowerPoint), media player, and…. a waste of money!

I heard earlier today that Photoshop won’t work on the iPad, but that could be wrong. It seems to me that Photoshop would be fantastic software for the iPad.

It’s cool to play with, but I still see no real use for it. It’s gonna need some killer apps.

~~These are all in order. Watch while you can. It’ll probably be taken down very soon.~~

Looks like the joke is on me. Those videos were tken down quick and apparently a couple were duplicates. Oh well. Here’s a cool video of Chris Elliot mocking Leno:

Leno is such a liar. he could have easily walked away from his conract, but he didn’t bother. He’s greedy and selfish. Plain and simple.

Apple Releases the iPad and guess what!? It sucks!

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 19:17:00 -0500

At 1PM EST Apple had their keynote a the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. There were about 500 or so Mac Drones at this event all clapping and cheering as the iPad was unveiled.

I too was one of these people. Actually, I wasn’t clapping or even at the event. I barely made it home in time to watch th stream online. I was excited. I thought it was gonna be ground-breaking and revolutionary, but, like most people believe, it’s a flop. Here’s why:

1. There’s no space for it: Most households have a personal computer somewhere, a laptop, and a smartphone. his iPad fits somewhere between the laptop and smartphone. they’re basically inventing a device that we don’t need. Just want. At least with the iPhone and the iPod, there was room for it. We needed those devices. I don’t need an overgrown iPod Touch. Which brings me to my next point:

2. It’s an overgrown iPod Touch: When Steve Jobs started showing off apps on this fandagled device, he said how all native iPhone/iPod Touch apps would work right away on the iPad. These apps then loaded in their original iPhone size on the much larger iPad screen. You then had to hit the 2X button to make it full screen. Two questions: 1. Why don’t they just load them at full screen automatically, and 2. Does he really think we’re that stupid?

3. It won’t kill the Kindle: This is clearly a stab at the eReader market. Kindle is the current leader and is obviously being attacked by Apple here. They won’t beat them however, because Kindle beats them in price. Kindle is $ out of the box. hey offer free 3G access for purchasing books from the Amazon Store. Apple does not. Instead, they offer this price matrix:

4. The lowest price is too high and… They give you too many options. Wouldn’t it be so much simpler to just offer the 16GB model? Who needs that much storage for a device that’s most likely gonna sit at your coffee table or in the kitchen somewhere. It’s not like you’ll be storing any music or videos on it. I can’t see the need for it. Maybe iTunes content, but seriously? You can store that elsewhere. The 16GB is good enough and it should include 3G for $549. That’s the best price.

5. Why does it need 3G? If it’s gonna sit at your house, why do you need 3G. The people buying these devices most likely already have wifi in their houses or apartments. I don’t get it.

So, there you have it. It’s a useless piece of junk. The only cool thing about it is the magazine and books subscription service.

I was expecting some sort of art application where you could create on a tablet. maybe it’ll be offered down the road, but this should have been shown off at the keynote.

This is the most important image you’ll see today (probably). Study hard and remember. Next time you run into a fucking Malaysian, you can say “Yet meh” and he/she will step off!

Man Buried in Haiti Rubble Uses iPhone to Treat Wounds, Survive | Gadget Lab | Wired.com:

“After being crushed by a pile of rubble, Woolley used his digital SLR to illuminate his surroundings and snap photos of the wreckage in search of a safe place to dwell. He took refuge in an elevator shaft, where he followed instructions from an iPhone first-aid app to fashion a bandage and tourniquet for his leg and to stop the bleeding from his head wound…”

I’m sorry. That joke was just waaaaay too obvious to pass up!
