That, and kids disabling SELinux because they don't understand it.

True this. I was mainly referring to the end-user environment and not that of servers.

Great post. My feelings exactly. I'm not a fan boy of either. I grew up coding basic at 5 years old on an Apple II.. so I know full well about Apple's beginnings. Since the early 90s I've used mainly PCs. And now? Well I have a mac mini, and iPad, iPhone, and I7 PC. I use them all because I need to know everything that is tech as I'm a computer consultant. However, everything that is useful in business except for graphic design and web design is run on a PC using Windows XP or Windows 7.

Lithium Ion is older technology. Lithium Polymer is the newest battery technology as far as common lithium batteries go.

Some ads can be informative and can remind you of an issue you needed to solve last week and still have not. I don't believe the problem is with the ads in general, but with the style and way they go about serving you those ads.

If the ads were less annoying I wouldn't mind them at all. Some of the ads are actually very informative rather than spammy if you are on a website that caters to your interest and delivers ads based on content served on the site.

I'd love to see sites implement an ad protocol such as this:

1. No flash-based or animated ads.
2. No ads bigger than 300 x 100 pixels.
3. No ads with bright contrasting colours such as orange when the entire site is white and green.
4. All ads can be turned on or off at the user's preference. This site implements an honour system.
5. Users can select what categories of ads they would or would not like to be served.

If websites and companies were just more sane about their ad policies, I think a lot less people would resort to ad-blockers.

I have a lot of patience for elderly people. If they are in a line I just go to a different line if possible. If I see them in a car, I just take a few breaths and slow down until I can safely pass them. Now when it's a soccer mom looking for coins in her purse or holding up the line, look out.. hexed_2050 is on the rage :)

I'd rather see the end to cash rather than cheques. I hate when people pay with cash.. sitting there holding up the line while they count their dimes and pennies, then end up dropping them. A card is so easy to use, swipe and done. One thing I don't like about cards is that they can track your purchases and locations.

I guess everyone in the US has their preferred dealers for Viagra and Swiss watches now. The market is too saturated!

Man's level and experience in MMORPG is reversely proportional to level and experience in real life.

Multitasking for one. If you are in Skype and want to run another program, you can forget about it with the current iPhones.

Google's page is simple and pure. There is one logo and a search bar.
Bing has decided to make their search page bloated with graphics that actually update.
Do you know how painful it is to remote desktop or vnc to someone's computer that has yahoo, bing, or some other search engine besides google set as their homepage? grr!
