Microsoft isn’t cool enough for OS X

August 23rd, 2008 · 2 Comments · General Detritus, Master Jobst Fimil, Microsoft, Scrabble, Vista sucks, iPhone, iPhone killer

That’s why we can’t get the useless “Photosynth” app for our Macs. Maybe if they hired a comic spokesdroid from this century they could be cooler.

Dammit.

iPhone killer news:

Nokia N96 is reported as an iPhone killer in the India Times. Some of the features include…

A slide out numeric phone keypad (no qwerty)

16 GB of Flash memory plus a microSD card slot

A bunch of buttons

Black with chrome trim (where did they get that idea?)

No mention of touch screen interface

FM Radio (just like Zune)

Shipping with soon-to-be-obsolete capability for broadcast TV

Master Jobst Fimil will not lose sleep over this one.

The HTC Dream will be the first Android phone. There’s a beta SDK for Android.

Yawn.

Go get ‘em, kids.

Now I have something REALLY important to talk about – Scrabble®.

I love to play Scrabble. Wifey-poo and I play it almost daily.

It is beyond absurd that Scrabble® cannot be played via the internet by two people at different computers. I just looked at the ad for EA’s version for the iPhone. It has a “pass and play” mode for multiple players. Dumb.

Dear Hasbro and EA,

The system is broken. Fix it.

I should be able to sit at my computer and play a game of Scrabble with my wife on her iPhone, and vice versa.

Make it be so.

Until it is so, Scrabble is useless as an electronic game.

Thanks,

Rip.

  • Huh?

    Well, I found a real iPhone killer today. Mmm.. I guess it was more of an iPhone wounder.

    A filing cabinet.

    Yup. Phone on hip. Cabinet hits hip. Phone hits ground. Filing cabinet hits phone/ground.
    Cracked the glass at the top of the phone, and two cracks running from the top to the bottom. Phone still works, though I’m not sure how, but looks like I’ll have to upgrade to the 3g now.
    Rats.

    Huh?

    Condolences -and- congratulations to you.
