Buckshot Ep. 7

  • What is it the new winamp reminds me of? oh yeah, the open source product of one of the original winamp guys, Songbird. Except even with all it's podcatching and blog-reading capabilities, it still tries to manage my music collection, rather than just indexing it. so while songbird finds my new music in a couple minutes, winamp still chokes on the import, and I wind up dragging folders into the now playing window anyway. Open Source FTW.
  • from the Apple Sucks Department: Tuesday, my wife picked up her ibook from apple's genius bar. Wednesday, I went to pick up a new power cord from microcenter. Why? the genius bar has this policy that anything you leave on their counter, or that isn't itemized on the intake manifest, they can't return to you. Never mind that last time, it was the iSkin that we didn't see whether they listed on the manifest, or that the idiot "genius" set the power cord out of sight when testing the power connection with his own cable. If you think I'm being harsh on apple, imagine if this was an auto mechanic, and we were discussing a custom gear shift knob. 1 .

  1. I've worked in an auto shop, and we made damn sure that if a customer left something on the counter, it got attached to the work order or left in the vehicle. This is evidently too much work for geniuses.
