Notice that the article has two links. The first goes to a blog about the actual article in the Seattle Times. This blog entry really contributes almost nothing to the story. The second link is the actual story here.
You'd think the editors would know by now how to spot blatant site pimping; I'm sure the submitter has something to with the crappy-ass first site; so, be forwarned, readers! Don't give this putz any more traffic - click only on the second link.
I'd suggest getting a job where everybody isn't a tool. I hate to be a sarcastic prick (no I don't), but c'mon, what is this, kindergarten? Sounds like you've got some touchy-feely, "I'm okay, you're okay" pinhead boss. If you insist on staying, just stick to something lame and trite and 'fun', just like the fun little activity itself. Learning is its own reward.
Sadly... the word "ain't" [m-w.com] is now officially in Webster's dictionary. It's a sad day for the English language. Ain't it?
Not really; I used to think so, too, back when I was an elitist schweinhund (yesterday); I've since come to accept that language is an ever-changing entity; things that were never words become words, things that were slang become mainstream. It fluctuates. Get used to it. How many people speak the king's english these days? It ain't a whole bunch.
Sweet. This could usher in a whole new era of irrational exuberance for investors. Startups by soon-to-be Stanford grads! Who cares if nobody wants what they're selling? They could be the next company trading at levels well beyond their capcity for earning! Call now for your very own castle in the sky.
Oh, from TFA: "The name Zazzle means 'to embellish something' from the root word 'zazz.'"
It does? Since when do campanies get to decide their nonsense name means something, much less that the nonsense root word means something, too? Lewis Carroll they ain't.
The way they tout it as a 'public beta' makes me certain that they'll try to sell this shite later. Who would want to pay for this?
Blue Security: "Hey, give us some money, we'll DDOS evil spammers for you!"
Me: "How do I know that's what you'll do with my money?"
BS (heh): "That's why you give us some fake emails."
M: "Well, that's nice, but in no way constitutes any kind of proof that your 'service' is actually doing anything. Much less anything effective/useful."
BS: "Did we mention that you get THREE fake email addresses? Three!"
Or anyone who doesn't know - ie, pretty much all non-geeks. You think MS is going to plainly and clearly announce this 'feature' on the box (yeah, yeah, who gets Windows in a box)?
What if you want to know the 5 day forcast for this week? You could launch up firefox and go to an easily memorizable website like weather.com, navigate through it, and find your forcast among the puddle of advertisements, or you could just press F12 and instantly see it in a very clear, simple interface.
So, F12 is magic? It just does whatever you happen to be thinking you need he also claims it launches calc and pacman and chess and...)
Sweet! Where do I sign up?
Perhaps you are talking about setting up something called 'hotkeys'? HOLLY CRAP!!! MAC OS HAS HOTKEYZ!!! THAT ROXOR MY S0x()R!!
Hotkeys aren't new, my friend. I can make F12 launch calc in Windows, too. Or take me to wunderground?myzip.html. So what?
Umm... so how would you do all that with a web browser, especially if you have... no internet connection?;-)
SET A HOTKEY. How is it that yer Mac can get weather updates without internet access? Because THAT'S cool. I'd almost think about buying one.... nah. Why would I do that?
If irrelevancy equals tens of billions of dollars in profit per quarter, I'll take irrelevancy any day of the week.
Back to business school for you, young man. Look closely at their reports/balance sheets. Much of their 'profit' is manufactured via excessive amounts of stock options. Read: they cook the books. Now, strictly speaking, MS's book-cooking is technically legal, and nowhere near Enron's enormity, but, nonetheless, their profit figures are statistical lies.
Look into it: you'll see what I mean; Microsoft frequently loses money, but they use creative accounting to increase earnings.

It's a kludgy, slow IDE that was seemingly thrown together willy-nilly, and has options all over the place (apparantly, program options are actually "Window Preferences") and a generally poor layout.
Unfortunately, it also seems to be the only JAVA IDE with a GUI layout component that stores said layout info in standard code, as opposed to seperate metafiles.
Oh, yeah, did I mention it's non-native-JAVA, so it's really super slow? Sometimes I think that for every step forward, we take 2 or three back.
She's good about bitching and moaning, and using "trilogeez" and "motionz" and other 31337 spelling variants, but I see no real substance here. Just a bunch of press releases.
Why won't she let us READ her original scripts, and decide for OURSELVES if she was ripped off. What, is she afraid somebody will steal 'em? Again?
Are you ass-uming he means better than the original print or the original printers they replaced that may have been archaic?
If the former, my post stands. If the latter, my post goes double - what he said didn't make a fit of bucking sense, because he left out a rather large chunk of impo'tant information.
It was "ok" but just ok.. The color quality was much better than the originals.
WTF? That doesn't make a fucking bit of sense, and it's modded +3? It works "just ok" yet is "better than the originals"? I would call that better than "just ok".
If I hear this goddamn phrase one more time, I'll puke in my own hat.
There IS NO CULTURE WAR. This is a phrase invented by the media to get us all riled up and polarized into three groups of people: those who don't believe in god, those who do and think everybody else should too, and those who do and don't care what other people do. All this so we'll watch/read/buy more news on this non-existant war.

What you say? *STILL* no fr|st p0st?

I hope this doesn't conflict with the "Source Awards". My MythTV box is down right now, and I could never decide which to beam into the ole' telly.

"...a new searching mechanism..."
Finally, the searching dog will bark for us. Maybe it will follow the cursor. That's something we can all appreciate.

Apologies if 'zazz' is a real word.

Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit!
What's the stock symbol?
Anyone who doesn't care...

Man, you guys are all fuckin' morons. IT WAS A JOKE. SORRY THERE WAS NO EMOTICON.
Next time, I'll draw a picture for your illiterate asses.
Dude. WTF kind of frist p0st was that?
Yeah, FF has a crappy logo. No telling what it is. That's why I use the IE 'E' for my FF icon.
It has the added benefit of confusing people when it doesn't do what they expect.

Hell, I din't even notice her sig.
It's one thing to think you're better than everybody when you really are, quite another when you aren't.
Damn if they don't, damn if they do...
It's "damnED if they don't, damnED if they do".
Further proof that Mensa's members are nothing more than lonely under-read bourgeois windbags with artificially inflated egos.
And don't defend her because she claims to be a chick. (And yes, if she can say, "babe", I can say, "chick").
It's been awhile since we link The Onion.
Perhaps that word simply doesn't mean what I think it means.
I wonder if the submitter is the same as the Author?
Not a chance. The submitter used multiple complete sentences.
Are you ass-uming he means better than the original print or the original printers they replaced that may have been archaic?
If the former, my post stands. If the latter, my post goes double - what he said didn't make a fit of bucking sense, because he left out a rather large chunk of impo'tant information.
Quit defending yourself anonymously.
