Saturday was Apple’s 30th birthday (Yay Apple whoo-hoo! Happy birthday!)
Despite all the rumors, Apple apparently chose to celebrate its birthday quietly with a few friends or something… because there were no earth shattering announcements..
Revised iPods? Nope
New Macs? Nope
Mac-TiVo? Nope
New Software? Nope
Nothing…nada…zip…zilch… how depressing…
I wonder if anyone got Apple cool gifts for its birthday, since it didn’t give us anything.
From the fine people that brought us Caffeinated soap… we now get:
Yes, now whenever you feel a need for a little pick me up… don’t reach for that cup of coffee or that can of Coke.. just pick up your handy inhaler and give yourself a zap!
Note the warning from the page:
Warning: Do not take more than 4 doses in a 24 hour period. Too much caffeine can be fatal. If any abnormal symptoms develop, please consult your doctor. Not to be used by children or pets.
Yeah..its an inhaler.. how the heck is your dog going to use it? No Thumbs! Now, if you have a pet monkey I can see the need for the warning..
Me..I want to see what happens when someone whose Asthmatic grabs for their inhaler and grabs the wrong one!
Oh No! The Horror!
Today is Avie Tevanian’s last day at Apple! (For those who have no clue who I’m talking about, he’s the Chief Tech Officer at Apple)
According to the SFGate, he’s leaving to purse “other interests”, like he’s got anything other then the Mac to be interested in…
“We’re trying to be dump trucks, not cheerleaders”
Err.. your guess is as good as mine as to what little nugget of wisdom Kael was trying to impart..I just thought it was funny as hell
“Pee comes from Pemises, and Poop comes from Buttses!”
I got a phone call at work the other night, when I answered, this is what got shouted at me… Apparently, “Puke comes from Mouths” gets randomly screamed out when he says this too..
So there you have it.. if you weren’t sure where Pee and Poop came from, now you know!
Now.. if you’re going to have the cops called to your house for a Domestic Dispute (that is the politically correct term for it now isn’t it?) make sure you do it right… take for example these folks.
There argument probably started like any other.. not enough money, not enough sex, your sleeping with my sister.. you know, that kind of thing. Not satisfied with just calling each other names, they started throwing stuff… like knives. When that didn’t satisfy them, they started shooting at each other (apparently, neither is a good shot)..after that proved unsuccessful in ending the argument.. they started throwing home-made bombs at each other… and blew up their house.
Now THAT is how you have a fight with your spouse!
My favorite quote from the article:
Mr Espinosa told reporters he was glad his wife had suffered burns, while Ms Contreras said said she was only sorry she had not “hacked off his manhood” during the fight.
Today, March 14th is steak & BJ day.. (nsfw link) so ladies..take care of your guys! =)
“I don’t want daddy to work at <insert Employer here>”
We were at the park, and I told him I had to leave to go to work.. I got told he didn’t want me to work at my current job. I asked where he wanted me to work. His response? “At home”.
I tried to explain to him that if I was working at home.. chances are I wouldn’t be getting much work done, since I’d want to play with him all the time… didn’t phase him in the slightest.. he still wants me to work from home (which would be nice).. so, anyone know any place thats hiring, to let me “work” at home (and by work.. I mean spend all day playing with the kids)?
Maryn spent this past Wedsnday-Friday in the hospital. We took her in to the Dr. because she’d been vomiting up almost everything she ate..the Dr. sent us to Children’s Hospital ER to get IV fluids so she wouldn’t dehydrate.
The ER did everything except hook her up to fluids… and eventually admitted her to the hospital proper.. we found out Thursday morning she had Pertussis (Whooping Cough). At her age..it can be lethal! =(
She’s home, and doing ok.. an interesting tidbit we found out while in the hospital.. Colorado ranks 49th in regards to % of children vaccinated.. so.. people not vaccinating their kids… put mine in the hospital.
If you’re a parent.. Vaccinate your kid dammit! it protects EVERYONE….
angry at a couple of things right now-
1- Tivo – Yes.. they have a great product.. yes It’d be hard for me to give it up.. but c’mon guys..get your shit together.. you keep promising Mac support for TiVo2Go since its release over a year ago.. and your most recent update to the Tivo Desktop for Mac.. did shit.. absolutely nothing (well..it did make it so it could be installed under Tiger…and only about 6 months after Tiger came out.. good job guys! way to be responsive!) yet your executives keep spouting soon.. its been over a year..anything after a month doesn’t qualify as ‘soon’ so stop saying soon, and just admit that since you chose to use a craptacular DRM based on windows media player 10.. you’re never going to be able to give us this feature…yet you keep charging us for the same level of service as windows users.. so at least give Mac users a discount on monthly service, since we can’t use all your advertised features…
2 – aggrowear.com – Don’t buy from these yahoos..ever.. I tried to order something from there on the 4th.. and they proceeded to promptly charge me.. but won’t ship the product, won’t respond to requests for information, and won’t cancel the order and refund my money either — so today.. I disputed the charge with my bank.. at least I’ll get my money back on this one.
3 – Parents that don’t vaccinate! see this
