CBS’ way to make things better…

I signed up for the CBS Eye-lert, which emails me to let me know if sporting events are going to ruin my evening programs. I must say that this is a damn joke and is just a way for the execs to cover their ass because they still don’t know how to schedule around the football season.

I still believe that CBS needs to learn how to schedule around sporting events and push their evening programs back to start at 8pm like FOX does. I use a TiVo and can’t go change recording options for each show when I am not home.

Get a clue and fix your program line-up!

Leave Vista Alone!

Posted on: August 7, 2008 at 11:53 pm | Posted under: Rants, Technology

I am sick and tired of Windows Vista getting bashed by every Apple fanboy out there. The OS is solid and does what it is supposed to do. I have enjoyed using it since day one. As for my hardware from Dell, well that is another story. Just stop the bashing already! Your $2,500.00 MacBook might be a nice fashion accessory, but it does not give you the right to bash an OS from a company that has a (now retired) CEO doing more for the world than the greedy Mr. Jobs. QUIT IT ALREADY!

Just stay retired!

Brett Favre is no Michael Jordan, he can’t keep saying that he is going to retire and then come back to say he is going to play another year. The guy is an old fart and needs to stay retired. There is a reason why the Packers didn’t take him back, he is old and can’t play like the young guys. So, Brett Favre - JUST STAY RETIRED!

Cheers!
