Let Steve Ballmer squirt you

Zune incompatible with Windows Vista

Sometimes, Microsoft really asks for it.

According to Apple Insider, the new Zune is currently incompatible with the upcoming Windows Vista.

But Steve Ballmer, talking to Bloomberg, says, “We really have the foundation here to ship more and more opportunity to enjoy entertainment experiences.”

Right.

And he has this to say about the Zune’s *ahem* wireless capability: I want to squirt you a picture of my kids. You want to squirt me back a video of your vacation. That’s [an] experience.

Squirt me? No thanks, Steve B.

The article has a few choice words about the installation screen too: And for those wondering, the splash screen of three oriental chicks in distress isn’t our contributor’s stab at a knee-slapper. It’s the official installer backdrop chosen by the Redmond, Wash. folks to appear for each and every customer who installs a Zune.

Pain and pleasure are probably one and the same at Microsoft. Thank goodness for my iPod.

P.S. Please don’t ask me why I’m still using Windows. Bad habits are hard to break. Especially when there are costs involved.

Not Delicious

Not Delicious

My personal and work del.icio.us accounts are on the blink.

Someone please tell me that something is wrong with del.icio.us. After what happened with my computer, it would really be too much if I’m the only one experiencing this.

UPDATE Everything seems to be back up now. Even though I seem to have lost a few new bookmarks which I added yesterday. Looks like I have to consider a backup online bookmark service.

UPDATE of the UPDATE I spoke too soon.

Computer suicide

That's where it goes no further

My hard disk.

It died.

I think.

Click… click… click…. whirrrrr… Click… click… click…. whirrrrr… Click… click… click…. whirrrrr… Click… click… click…. whirrrrr…

Sounds like it.

Music: gone.

Unprocessed and unuploaded photos: gone.

Documents: gone.

Priceless stuff, you know?

Yes, I know.

I know I should back up religiously.

Blogging now from my family computer. Very strange. Everything all over the place. Unfamiliar programmes. Totally uncustomized Firefox. No webcam.

Now, it’s raining. Can’t even send it for repairs. If it can be repaired…

Where’s my little bookmarklet to add technorati tags?

Movie mania

Movie mania

Scoop | The Departed | The Island | Malcolm X | Syriana | The Prestige | Happy Endings | Serenity | Clean | An Inconvenient Truth | The Sum Of All Fears | He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not (borrowed, waiting to watch) | The Big Bounce (borrowed, waiting ran out of time to watch) | Going to watched Days of Glory| Hopefully will get to watch The Black Dahlia | Probably will watch Happy Feet

Yup, I’ve been on a bit of a movie rental rampage recently. I think I’ve watched more movies this month than I have between the whole of last year ’til the start of this movie mania.

Blame it on the plasma.

But among those movies are some that I’ve watched in the cinema.

Blame it on Scarlett.

VideoEzy at Junction 8 is fast running out of titles that interest me though. They seriously need to expand their collection.
