Comment Sadly, it's a 'good' move (Score 1) 951

I've never really loved Ribbon UIs, but only because of PEBKACs around me coming to me whining cause they're useless at looking at something right in front of them. Why switching Explorer to a Ribbon UI sounds like a good move to me is because they're using it in other flagship products that actually sort of require and benefit from that kind of workflow. While Explorer could probably get away with a less able UI, the droves of PEBKACs that roam the planet will whimper and annoy slightly less if Explorer as the same UI as they see in other places. Old school PEBKACs will whine regardless, but new ones will not reach their peak crying-volume, thanks to decisions like this. I may loathe most things Microsoft, but really, I think they made a call that makes the average sanity level just a little better than if they'd done anything else. Now, if the MS Office team decides to make a totally new UI shortly after this, that'll be like the best self-trolling since Chris Crocker.

Hearts are in the right place. Brains are fused with anus' though. Douche-bags. So what? Now I have to get a stupid Carbon-Fiber guitar for travelling? Seriously, if some airport security dick took exception with one of my (new) wooden guitars. I'd probably smash it over their stupid face and spend a few decades in prison over it. I'm so tired of stupid people. The stupid, it burns!!

Actually, I'm mostly ripping on the Catholic church for their (fucking) moronic opinion/claim that contraceptions impede gods will... It's (mother?)fucking god, (s)he/it can pull whatever god-damned strings (s)he/it likes.. Crusading through Africa and South America, then throwing down that rule is like the most Nazi thing since no flash support on the iPhone. Or so I'm presently inclined to post on this here message board.

Another solution to the global food crisis is to stop having massive freakin steaming piles of babies. (*Gives various religious doctrines a condemning glare*).. Further developing the pwned world would probably go a long way too.. If everyone can afford an xbox, they'll be too busy getting killed playing Halo to go reproduce. AHh, forget it, let's just chow down on some shit-jerky and "go to town"..

Comment Meh, Linux package managers are about the same.. (Score 1) 334

I'm all for net neutrality and keeping things open and as free as possible..

But when it comes to users like my parents, jesus, is something like the new OS X App Store a sanity saver.

I think having App stores on the desktop is a great thing. But it only makes more newbs be able to use their computers. Of course the classic models will continue. Though this whole Cloud thing, particularly as Google's been working on, could really change things up.

Look, at the end of the day, we can all always fall back to Linux and that will never be a fail.

Comment Thirteen, a sequel to Caprica is due. (Score 1) 602

Well, I'm not at all surprised. I LOVE BSG. And I still think a show like Caprica could kick ass. I think the problem is that Caprica didn't get in to the real action of things.

They should spin off another series that takes place about 10 years later. Call it "Thirteen" (after the colonies) and have it be centered directly around the war with the Cylons before the cease-fire is signed.
