A Chance Misleading

A Chance Misleading

One thing that has really been bugging me lately is the use of “increased chances” or similar phrases. This has to be one of the most misleading phrases ever known, the thing is, people still believe every bit of it.

The Canned Response

The Canned Response

There’s one thing that really annoys me when it comes to companies that provide email based support. It’s known as the Canned Response. When the company doesn’t even read your message properly and just sends back a prewritten response that has absolutely nothing to do with the issue.

Recently, someone released an obvious fake for a jailbreak on the new iPhone 3GS called the “ttys” exploit. This user was called iH8sn0w, the reason it was obviously fake was the fact that he used an SSH connection to his iPhone to actually apply the jailbreak. Anyone who knows anything about the iPhone knows that […]

Backwards ordering of blog comments

Backwards ordering of blog comments

This is one thing that really annoys me, blogs that have their comments backwards. I really don’t understand what kind of sense it makes having the comments in reverse chronological order, i.e. latest to earliest. Most comments on blog posts are either replies to another comment or reference something said in an earlier one. For […]

Microsoft, you are retarded

Microsoft, you are retarded

About 6 months ago, I upgraded my Xbox Live account to a Gold account as I wanted to play some games online – something I don’t do often. I was under the impression that I could just play online for a month, then downgrade my account back to Silver when I was done. I was […]

iPhone Tethering

iPhone Tethering

As many Australians may already know, some unscrupulous carriers are daring to charge their customers to allow tethering on their iPhones. This is just pathetic on their part and to combat this, I have made some carrier files that you can import into your iPhone and enable tethering and MMS without paying their exorbitant fees. […]

smarthouse.com.au against free speech?

When I posted a comment on a smarthouse.com.au article criticising the writer’s views. I expected it to be accepted and the writer would comment on it. However, instead of doing the right thing and accepting it, they quite simply blocked it. Therefore stifling any attempt at adding any sort of criticism to the article. At […]

Live Mesh Remote Desktop

Live Mesh Remote Desktop

I just have one thing to say about Live Mesh Remote Desktop. It’s retarded. What kind of an idiot developer would make screen updates a higher priority than click events? I’m at work right as I write this post and I’m trying to access my home PC. I just happened to have a website open […]

Driving: Roundabouts

Driving: Roundabouts

On my way to work this morning, I was caught behind a complete moron. Not only did he constantly break at random times (with no-one in front of him and going 10km/h below the speed limit), but he completely failed to navigate two roundabouts. Roundabouts are one of my biggest pet peeves with driving in […]
