Lazy Mofos II

Last year, I published a post about lazy mofos. Well, it is time for an update. I am a member of several forums and am tiring of the lazy mofos that want anything and everything handed to them on a platter. Is initiative a lost quality and is Google that damn hard to use?

Well, the below post tipped me over the edge. I am going to ignore ALL shit for brains type of posts. One thing that I despise almost as much as politicians are lazy people. Arrghh! Get off your lazy ass and do it yourself.

Back-To-Back Sony

Damn! I think I might have jinxed Sony with my crap about the PS3, because I just read that Hulu has blocked PS3 owners. Sony gets kicked in the nuts again. Read the article, because it closes with an interesting theory. Is big brother Microsoft behind the smack down?

Sony PSP Phone

On June 3rd, I hinted that the Sony PSP Phone may become a reality. Well, it appears that Sony is considering developing a phone-game hybrid to complete with the successful Apple products.

Can Sony pull a rabbit out of their ass and compete with Apple? Sony has been on a losing streak with the PS3 console, so it is time for them to step their game up (pun). Sony, I am watching you so do not disappoint us with an over-priced piece of junk.

Windows Mobile WTF

Over the past couple of months, I have been reading quite a bit about mobile development. Today, I stopped by the Microsoft site to check out the Windows Mobile Platform. I did not know that Microsoft offers a Windows Mobile SDK, DTK, DRK, and WTF! Bruahaha.

Capitalism At Work

I listed a couple items on eBay and noticed the endless number of Michael Jackson related items for sale. Michael Jackson passed a little over 24 hours ago and people are jumping at the chance to make a quick buck off the tragic event. See examples below:

Sad Day

I am sure you have read the news, so I will keep this post short. Today, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson passed away. It is a sad day. My sincere condolences to the families. I am a fan of both entertainment icons and will miss them.

Get more time out of your day!

A cool article describes how to sleep only 2 hours a day. Think of all the things you could do! My only contention with this plan is that you have to stop what your doing immediately every few hours to take a nap. there's gotta be some sort of overhead to that process. If I had a more flexible schedule, I'd be willing to give it a try.

Anti-IF Campaign

I have two rules when it comes to software development. The first rule I learned in high school and was learned to me by my CS professor. "If you're copying and pasting, you're doing it wrong" You wouldn't believe the massive effect this has had on my learning of creating decent software. The second rule is quite a bit newer to me and is a direct result of meeting K-man I have joined Anti-IF Campaignand WassupJose. Don't write IF or CASE statements. This is meant to avoid coupling of logic between different types and perhaps should be written more acurately as "don't write IF Type = X". Well, I just happened to run into this website promoting the same concept. Nice!

Newspaper Nonsense

Most know that newspapers across the country are struggling to stay in business. It is only a matter of time before printed newspapers are gone. Well, if newspapers follow the lead of the Rhode Island Daily News they better just call it quits now.

The Rhode Island Daily News is charging subscribers more than twice for its online content than for the crappy, smudgy, printed edition. WTF! Hmmm, I am going to recommend that online subscribers kick them to the curb and look for an alternative news source.
