Bacterial Glue

i hate super glue. i was gluing something back together in the kitchen and i dripped some superglue on the floor and didnt know it and i stepped in it witlessly and superglued my foot to the floor. it took all of 10 minutes for me to work it loose after being laughed at and photographed by my family

Netgear Gets Speedy with 802.11n

Oh, for fuck’s sake. Why are we getting hardware compliant with the 802.11n draft now, when the standard is right on the cusp of ratification? Who in their right mind would want to buy something that’s only probably interoperable with the impending flood of next-generation devices, when they could wait just a month and be futureproofed (not to mention up ~$100 in first-adopter-fees)?

Adobe Carrying Case

What, they don’t know what to do with their money? They wanna impress me, they’ll remove all the bloat and unnecessary interface crap that loads down Photoshop CS2 and the rest of the CS2 suite. Ugh, last good version was 7, and even that was a bit top-heavy compared to 6. I mean, what the hell is with the full-screen filters with their lousy previewing options?! Blargh, says I!
