daily shriek

Video with audio on web pages that starts playing automatically when those pages load is presumptuous, intrusive, loathsome and horrible. Please knock it off.

You just interrupted LL Cool J with some inane drivel about AJAX that was saved out with such a low bitrate that it may as well just have been radio static and the volume was jacked up so loud it scared me half to death. Do ya feel me?

The computer may look like TV and may one day replace TV but right now, I’m not watching TV. I’m working, writing code, and was looking for information on your product and frankly I have no desire to listen to some generic-sounding voice-over artist your tragically-hip marketing person hired read some cliche, second rate ad copy that is so clogged with worn-out buzzwords and smarmy lukewarm hype that given its poor recording quality is really just vocal vomit.

That insipid little aural stunt just made me hate your company. I just closed your web page and will never visit it again.

and the air is warm and pregnant with rain. it’s supposed to be winter.

i’m drinkin homemade wine outta south philly and thinking about how much i hate nVidia — it would see that they cannot make a product that simply works. every time i get stuck using one of their products there are issues. my ati cards never give me grief like this.

i put one of their cards in my desktop and windows won’t even see it, their tech support informs me that they cannot help me and to return the product. my laptop comes with an nvidia graphics and it can’t change resolution of the external monitor.

i dunno, seems to me that if you’re in the biz as long as they have been, i’d expect better, ya know?

eh — fuck’em

a little late, but i didn’t think you really cared, so whatever.
