Well, I did get a little harsh on Palin the other day, our reader Nicole Price from GreatPricesHere.com left a comment that did get my attention and I’ve had enough of this Political drama between Obama and McCain.

Frankly, I take no sides in this political campaign but McCain is too OLD to be President.

I really like how McCain answer gay marriage question, couldn’t he just say that gay marriage should be allowed since if it’s not, it’s a prejudice against sexual orientation, thus against U.S. Constitution?

Here’s a funny clip from Saturday Night Live where McCain says being old is one of the characteristics a President should have.

Well, I think being old has nothing to do with ANYTHING.  Look at Tiger Woods, he beat the crap out of everyone who’s OLD, made a new game out of golf.

Well, I am not taking sides here but McCain is definitely not it, I just don’t want to see another Bush marathon of U.S. economy collapse and $700 billion spent on rich people.  Just think about what happened yesterday when AIG decided to use $400,000 on corporate outing when their company is part of that $700 billion that I might be paying for!  Here’s the protest video.  I even predicted this couple days ago…

Okay, now you can tell me why you want to vote for Obama or McCain.  Let me go on blogging again now.

GO BAIL OUT BS!GO BAIL OUT BS!GO BAIL OUT BS!

Today, I decided to buy a new laptop since my previous two $2000 HP laptops keep dying on me constantly.

I did get a Dell Inspiron 1525 for about $600 at my local BestBuy.  It turns out the laptop gives you bang for your dollar.

Although I do hate even saying Vista as of lately, I decided to give it another go and see if Vista would stay on the laptop as it came with it.  The funniest thing happened though, I got the “unlimited” blue screens of death after installing one of my older programs.  This was the worst unlimited blue screens of death I’ve got in my 21 years career of using Microsoft’s products.

After installing that program, I’d get the blue screen of death whether I booted in Safe Mode or not.

So, if I wasn’t tech-savvy, I’d have to take it to the GeekSquad at BestBuy and spend another couple hundred bucks to fix it.  (Yes, let me also add that the BestBuy sales guy was worst than car salesman, he tried to sell me “optimization” and “virus protection” for MONEY, how fu*ked up is that?  I told him to shut the fu*k up and hand me the laptop so I can pay cash for it.  He actually agreed finally that I was right and he’s only doing his “job” as there are cameras watching him.)

Well, you can solve this problem by recovering Vista to an earlier point in time, similar to VMWare’s System Restore feature.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Press F8 at boot to enter the recovery mode.

2) Select “System Restore” and you will be able to select which “time” you want to recover the whole system to.

Now, I was very impressed that Vista had this capability to restore to a point in time.  But the bad news is that I should have been able to boot my Vista at least in Safe Mode.  I have never encountered such bad blue screen of death on my Windows XPs but this was just devastating for your average Joe user.

Again, I confirm the horribleness of Vista but I will keep using it on my laptop for now, just to see if I can come up with more hacks and write it on this blog.

It’s funny because the first 386DX-25Mhz PC computer was the very first computer I bought when I was 9 years old.  On the first day, somehow I deleted command.com from my MS-DOS operating system, of course made by Microsoft.  After that, I had to wait couple days so my parents could take the 30 pound PC back to the Chinese computer makers couple hours away so they could install command.com for me.

You see, Microsoft has been making vulnerable operating system since MS-DOS, how can you allow the user to erase command.com??? (Kinda stupid idea that you let that even happen without any security locks)

It was probably that first time I bought my PC that I fell in love with hacking, well, it seems like I do have to re-live my horrible operating system nightmares once in awhile.

I wonder how many people in the world do the same thing that I do, well, let me keep trying Vista and see if it gets any worse than today.

Here’s a funny story about a guy who uses his remote desktop software on his stolen laptop to catch the thief.  While doing so, he had do endure lots of porn, which what the thief was watching mostly.

Of course, the laptop won’t ever be the same anymore, I’d at least dismantle that keyboard and painted over with clearcoat.

It was kind of frustrating because he was mostly using it to watch porn. I couldn’t get any information on him.

Here’s Microsoft’s latest “I am a PC” ad and I think we could have replaced “I am a human” for “I am a PC” here.

Oh yeah, they did forget to mention that “I am a PC and my Vista sucks” and that the ad itself was made on a Mac.

Well, at first I thought this was for real but then I realized the truck’s shadow shows that this truck is actually being towed so person in the video is STUPID.  (dumb…dumb…dumb narrator, she’s forgot to pass the truck…hello!  try going 85MPH please!)

enjoy~

Here’s a fun DIY on how to make a bacon princess tiara out of bacon.  Now, can we eat this after we make it?

It’s not as simple as it looks so be prepared to dig into this if you want one for yourself.

You are going to be working with an enzyme that bonds protein. You are made of protein. Unless you want to glue your lungs together or glue your eyelids to your eyeballs, you absolutely must follow these safety rules. We cannot be held accountable for any mishaps you might have while working with transglutaminase.

If you are into weird phones, you will definitely love this High Heel Phone.

Simply set this phone along with your other phones and if someone needs to use the phone, tell them that you gotta wear one of your pink high heels to use it.

Although this is just a joke, this Cat Carrier should receive an award for the world’s most in-human cat carrier.  Everything looks fine except I don’t think the cat will appreciate a dildo up her/his arse and the head cap which probably break the cat’s head more than hold it.

Of course, if you really hate cats, you can immerse yourself with Cat Arse Sharpener and the Cat Paw.

There’s the Emily Strange Cat Shadow Digital Watch too while you are at it.

Don’t worry, I’m sure the cat isn’t in much pain, it’s perfectly humane.  They’ll love getting to travel more with the family.  You could even take your cat outside with you for a nice summer day and not have to worry about it causing any mischief.  According to Dr. Malmes Dobson it will “mold your special cat into the well-mannered creature God intended.”  Sounds perfectly safe to me, I don’t see where a design such as this could possibly go wrong.  If only this product were one you could snatch up in stores.  Sadly no such luck as of now.
