Tech. Rock. Pop. Truthiness.

Hilarious take on “intelliget design” and how God filling in the gaps could pose problems in daily life.

Sometimes I feel like Janet Jackson’s “Miss You Much” is the best song ever recorded.

Shot like an arrow through my heart

That’s the pain I feel

I feel whenever we’re apart

Not to say that I’m in love with you

But who’s to say that I’m not

I just know that it feels wrong,

When I’m away too long

It makes my body hot, so let me tell ya baby

Chorus:

I’ll tell your mama, I’ll tell your friends

I’ll tell anyone

Whose heart can comprehend

Send it in a letter baby

Tell you on the phone

I’m not the kinda girl

Who likes to be alone

I miss ya much (boy-oh-i miss you much)

I really miss you much (m-i-s-s you much)

I miss ya much (boy-oh-i miss you much)

Baby I really miss you much (m-i-s-s you much)

I’m rushing home

Just as soon as I can

I’m rushing home to see

Your smiling face

And feel your warm embrace

It makes f-feel so g-g-g good

So I’ll tell you baby

Repeat chorus

I miss you much

I really really miss you

You much

I miss you much

I’m not ashamed to tell the world

I miss you

Repeat chorus

But really it’s all about the beat. Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis were unstoppable. Until they stopped, of course.

This is probably only the beginning.

People are starting to complain about Apple. And it’s about time. There will always be the Apple enthusiast who believes Jobs can do no wrong [or who has an Apple tattoo, like Cory from BoingBoing], but really–no company is that good. Backlash was bound to happen.

But this isn’t just trend backlash, this is a company who is suddenly making crappy hardware. One of the first crappy hardware instances I heard of was a line of iBooks with the same internal problem (something to do with the ethernet port to the logic board, I think). We’re talking thousands of consumers with totally busted laptops. Too bad Apple Care only lasts 90 days. But more recently, the Mighty Mouse has been heralded, by Leo Laporte namely, as a piece of engineering crap.

And now the Nano. Cute, sleek, and easily destroyed.

The same thing is starting to happen to Google. Their web accelerator was taken off their server like two days after a beta (of course) release due to tons of issues. Google Talk isn’t anything special. They’ve done little with Blogger.

But there will always be Microsoft, making even bigger mistakes until finally, hopefully within the next couple of years–the general public will become so frustrated that they will turn elsewhere. But that will only happen if Apple wises up and allows OSX to be put on non-Macs.

We shall see.

Looks eerily familiar.

This is fantastic. These little radios look like early iPods (with speakers instead of headphones).

Kottke hadn’t heard of America, the book (kottke.org)

This is the last straw. I’m taking kottke off my bloglines. All this guy seems to care/know about is what he reads on a few select blogs (who also read and link to him) and design (which his site shows little of). I’m so sick of the mutual back-scratching of a few select blogs. Whatever kottke has to say, I’ll end up reading it somewhere else (not BoingBoing either because they are on my shitlist as well) anyway. Plus the other blogs will probably post the same info earlier and with more thought and skepticism.

And he calls himself a liberal. And some people PAID him to blog. Shame on the blog world.
