Oracle/Java you scumbags

This sort of thing is absolutely despicable. A massively-used product such as Java comes bundled with the pathetic ‘Ask toolbar’ and its set to install by default! What a cheek.

Java has a bad enough reputation as it is for being massively insecure. Oracle are just adding insult to injury here. What’s worse is that you get this crap every time an update gets released – which is about three times a day from my experience.

Companies need to stop doing this, even if it does keep the IT support industry in a job.

Dance Pony Dance

Its about time that silly adverts made a comeback. Amongst the shite GoCompare and boring meerkats comes this wonderful pony thanks to Three UK.

For those looking for the full (original) version of the song, it’s here.

Probably the best live advert I’ve seen in a long time…

Zzzzzzz

Just a quick update as I can’t seem to sleep. Here’s the latest.

• Wisdom tooth is out. Didn’t need a root canal so that’s good, had two fillings also.
• Got a bit of cold. So has everyone else at the moment.
• The new Metal Gear game is a bit rubbish. Played through the demo. If I wanted to play Bayonetta I’d have downloaded that instead. By the way, full game prices on the PlayStation network are hilarious. It would be cheaper to put together my own game studio and produce each game myself.
• Been listening to this during my workout: http://open.spotify.com/album/0k3QMo75iLovMxhxkYy4RB – great for those with short music attention spans and keeps the tempo up.
• Never buy a device directly from Google and expect any level of customer service. Returned the Nexus 4 weeks ago and they still haven’t refunded me. Nobody at Google knows whats going on. Time to get the law on my side later this week if this persists.
• The CyanogenMod team have fixed the only bug holding me back from using CM 10.1 as my daily driver on the SGS3. It only took an email directly to one of the head devs and it was fixed that evening. Result.
• Californication – how the hell did I miss this? Absolutely brilliant.
• My new Cineworld Unlimited Premium card came through. Now I get 3D films for no extra and I get 25% off food and drink. So now I only need to take £200 if I fancy snacks.
• Die Hard – the new movie is utterly, pathetically and completely abysmal. Hang your head in shame Bruce Willis. You didn’t need the money that badly.

Don’t think much else has happened. Time for sleep.

Art? I don’t think so

This beautiful piece is available for just eighty of your hard earned British pounds. Does this actually constitute as art these days? I’m going to commission the kids to put more of these masterpieces together and I’ll be a millionaire in no time.
