Only Microsoft

So why did they do it? And what is it?
Windows live messenger, Ah! I remember the good old days when you could type "MSN Messenger" into google and download their 8Mb file and very quickly you could be using a very simple, very pleasing Instant Messenger.

Bill gates: I know, We'll buy MSN Messenger and turn it into the biggest, peice of bloated crap available. We will remove the simple install method and replace it with a deploy client to download the 100MB application.

Hence Windows Live Messenger 9.0.

WHATS NEW IN THIS RELEASE? A bloated interface, laggy client and too many flashy retarded features no one ever wanted because this is an instant messenger, and not a bloody iMac.

Simple solution: Use the older one.

NUPE

Upon trying to install it, you must upgrade to the "Newest version of WLM" ... Which is.. Well, yeah, 9.0

So, theres no escape, I can't wait to see what WLM 10 is like, you're going to end up needing a quad core PC just to open it up.

Microsoft, Could they make it any easier????

Twitter or CCTV?

Well, It's a question we should all ask ourselves. Would you rather be on Twitter or 24 hour CCTV surveillance? It's actually quite a hard question to answer because there isn't much difference. On one hand you have CCTV cameras. The picture is normally grainy and fixed in one position. On the other hand, you have Twitter, your very own webpage which you update telling everyone where you are, what your doing and why your doing it. Normally, CCTV is fixed in one position so people don't know when you "just popped to the toilet" or "gone to the shop to buy more toliet paper because I have diahreah." Also, it would do me a hell lot of use to know that "Pete Smith of California is currently cutting the lawn" and what would I do if I didn't know when "Jane Parker is making dinner." I quote from the Twitter website:

Running late to a meeting? Your co–workers might find that useful.

They may also find it usefull to know why you are still sitting at your computer if you are RUNNING LATE FOR A MEETING!!.

I was looking at John Mccain's Twitter page and I have now wasted ten seconds of my life reading that "McCain is now walking down a corridoor."
