Comment They forgot the beeping interfaces (Score 5, Insightful) 874

That's one thing that always drives me nuts when I'm watching computers being used on TV or in the movies... EVERY user interface element BEEPS. Text will scroll on the screen (no idea why it won't just show all at once) and as the computer renders each and every single character, it lets out a beep. That sort of machine would drive me nuts after about 3 minutes of use.

I have a pretty high tolerance for clothes shopping, but it's starting to get annoying sometimes as my girlfriend promises boobies and I keep getting kicked out of her booth before the door is even closed. The employees who do this are always rude, too, firing me a dirty look as though I'm walking off the street trying to get a quickie fuck and not just trying to get a little boobage happiness to make a loooooong annoying walk through the store looking for clothes worth it. Victoria's Secret just flat out told me that men are not allowed near the fitting room sections at all. *sigh*..

Submission + - Gene Simmons: College Kids Killed Music Industry (reuters.com)

drcagn writes: "Gene Simmons has blasted 'college' kids and claims that they have destroyed the music industry, with the labels also to blame for not properly suing them out of existence when they had the chance. When asked about Radiohead and Trent Reznor's recent support of a different direction in music distribution, he says "that's not a business model that works. I open a store and say 'Come on in and pay whatever you want.' Are you on fucking crack?" When asked about music being free and making money off of merchandise, he says, "The most important part is the music. Without that, why would you care?" even though earlier in the interview he brags that he believes that KISS's merchandise is more profitable than Elvis's or the Beatles'."
