The Most Random Email I’ve Ever Received

We all get spam.  We all get the emails selling us pills, watches or an education in anything from dinosaur hunting to Moon spelunking.  Well, I occasionally get this email from this one guy.  It’s always the same guy too.  I only get it at work.  I don’t think it’s spam either.  I think this is a real message that someone is typing up.  I also think the person just might very well be on heavy medication.  It’s entertaining to read because it is ALL over the map of randomness.

I share with you now that email.  I’ve formatted it a bit so it’s nice so massive.  There’s a bit of reading to do so I’m going to do the ol’ click to read more trick.

I also decided to record it with my camera.  I extracted the audio.  Reading this out loud is even funnier… Sorry for the poor audio quality.  It was one take for the whole thing.

Tech Failures

This article titled “The 10 Biggest Tech Failures of the Last Decade” is just a tad deceiving.

I really expected to read about products that had failed in terms of their technology, not financially.  So, “Top 10 financial busts of the past decade” might fit better?

It just got my attention since I run Vista64, on a Gateway and own a Zune.  All three are on the list.  10 Years ago Gateway was huge but it the cows eventually did come home.  I opted for the 64bit OS because it where everything will go eventually.  I’ve had hardly a problem running anything on my machine.

Lastly the Zune.  I love my Zune.  I know it hasn’t cut into the iPod market.  Apple users, the hardcore ones, are like zombies.  Zombies eat only brains and stuff.  Apple users only use apple.  Trying to feed a zombie a banana will just get your face gnawed on.  You can’t sell a Zune to an iPod user.  You can’t sell Microsoft to a Mac user.  You just can’t!  So while it financially didn’t hit the mark, the product is, IMO, nicer.

Are you going to call Apple a failure because their share of the OS market is, while growing, still so small?  Didn’t think so.
