Tony Abbott shits me and I think it’s mainly because of many of the things he says that I find to be simply stupid and there’s a great summary of them here.
I also find he comes across insincere and untrustworthy, which is not want I want to see in, and feel from, a potential leader of Australia. It makes me doubt the Liberal Party since they would choose this person to represent them. I’d like to see a strong articulate leader at the front of all parties.
I did start thinking though, would I change my mind for money. All the political parties throw money around in an election, often tens of millions of dollars, or hundreds, billions sometimes. How much cash would I require in order to vote for Tony Abbott. I decided to start another site to discuss this question and I think similar questions in the future, so if you’d like to play please head over to What’s Your Price?
I know it mainly happens to you guys in America, as this one is happening that prompted me to rip this quick post off, but I just wanted to say that these stupid people that create these ridiculous law suits shit me to tears. Have a little bit of self respect and stop trying to make money without working and creating something in return for it. It’s people like you that end up making us pay more for our products because of all the legal costs you create for businesses, have some consideration for us too, please. Selfish people.
I understand if a product causes you damage then you may be entitled to seek some compensation but these idiots are launching a class action because they are disappointed with the phone! And what about the law firms that do this for these idiots?
If I had a little more time I’d research some of these stupid cases that have shitted me previously, but I must go!
I’ve just finished watching the press conference video on the Apple website, you can see it here.
If you’re unaware, Apple released their iPhone 4 three weeks ago. It had been leaked a month or so prior by Gizmodo.Com, the deadshit arseholes, but more about that later.
It’s come to light that you can hold the iPhone 4 in a certain way and the signal strength drops, sometimes dramatically. BUT, if you use a case, then no problem what-so-ever. And, most people use cases, once they;re available. As they note in the video, because it was a new design, and they want to surprise and delight their customers, there were only very limited case options during the first week or two.
So, I just wanted to say congratulations to Apple and Steve Jobs for bothering to hold a press conference at all, because their sales figures spoke volumes about this not being a real problem. I think the press conference was a very well deserved FUCK YOU to the media and bloggers that kept banging on about the antenna issue. Go buy a Nokia you stupid pricks.
Now, regarding Gizmodo, FUCK YOU, from me, for leaking the iPhone 4 pictures. As Steve said in his press conference, Apple work their arses off to surprise and delight their customers, and you know what? I really look forward to being surprised and delighted by the new and improved that comes from Apple at their events. I wish more people could afford to enter the Apple world as I am sure they would be as pleased as I was when I finally made the move, there is no turning back, it just does not get any better.
So Gizmodo, and anyone else that wants to spoil the surprise at some stage in the future, it’s just my opinion, but I would prefer if you shoved your leak up your arse, you piss weak spoilers.
I’ve touched on this before, and that is how much it shits me when people put their toilet rolls on the wrong way around.
I noticed this diagram recently which I think makes it perfectly clear as to why there is a right and wrong way which revolves around far more than just being thoughtful towards your toilet users, check it out here!
One more.
Even I know you don’t want to go provoking the Israeli military and I live in Australia. If you live nearby to them and you know they don’t want you bringing your ship into port without them coming on board to see if you’re carrying something that might be used to blow their arses off and you still do it, then you’re asking for what ever you get.
Then when they do what you knew they’d do and you go them with sticks and knives, you’ve got to expect to have yourself shot. If some bastard went me with a knife and I had a gun, I’d probably shoot at the knees, I agree, they could have tried to avoid the kill-shot.
But if you provoke someone, if you’re that inconsiderate then you’ve got to expect some grief back.
For Israel, let the food through, let them have as many noms as they say they say they need, no risk there, and there are lots of building materials these days that can’t be used for weapons, let that through too. Food and shelter, let most of the people be happy then maybe they’ll take a different view to their aggressive Government. I know it’s a truly shit house situation that’s decades old, but there have been mistakes made that cannot be undone now, so moving on peacefully would be wise.
I may as well rip a third one off for the evening.
I think it’s inconsiderate and rude to simply come along and say we’re going to tax your arse a shit load more.
The mining industry deserved proper consultation, they didn’t get it.
If the government had said we’re going to increase your tax by 5 percent every two years for 16 years the mining industry would have still complained but they would not have had as much to stand on, the Government could have even said they’ll build the roads and ports now in advance of collecting all the tax, give something in advance of taking away.
It’s the same with the bailing out of the banks, that was bullshit too, if you run a business and it’s no longer viable, then it shuts down, that’s economics. It’s the same, you don’t just drop a huge tax on an industry in one big lump without consultation. If you’re not considerate towards people, you deserve what you end up getting, that’s true for individuals and Governments and businesses.
I think it’s awful that the oil is spilling out and destroying the wild life and amenity of the shore, but for Christ’s sake, it’s not as if BP did this on purpose or were even negligent. What’s the latest word being used, reckless. You know what, maybe, maybe I can accept that slightly and only based on the dictionary interpretation.
I’m not sure what caused the explosion and fire on the rig and I’m not sure why that caused the rig to move and the pipe to drag the whole under-sea “thing” up, but I doubt the people that died just said to hell with it lets do something dangerous.
God forbid an American oil company has an accident, lets hope they can fix it quickly. Lets consider providing some understanding, consideration and respect for the people now risking their lives and futures trying to fix this thing.
In the mean time, why don’t they simply drill holes in at an angle around the current drill hole and put explosives down and set them off and the earth will raise up and settle and block the whole bloody thing off, I would have done it in the first week. This dodgy picture below is what I mean.
Side View Of Proposed Solution
View From Above
For weeks now Intego.com’s web administration service has been screwed, particularly on weekends.
The software is really good for parental controls and the web administration facility is the biggest draw card for us when we reviewed the different solutions available to improve on Apple’s own built in parental controls. So we purchased the Intego package.
I have to say though, the unavailability of the web administration facility has been so high over the last four to six weeks I am becoming very tempted to request a refund and remove the software.
Nearly every weekend I have lodged a service ticket through the online support mechanism and have always been told that they are performing maintenance.
I don’t think they’re a tiny operation so no business needs all weekend, every weekend for weeks, to perform maintenance. Recently I tried an email to the general Info email address saying I am losing confidence in their service and certainly in the responses from the support area, only to receive a response from the support area saying that they are upgrading their servers.
The performance this week, mid week, is appalling, very slow, unacceptably so.
If they were giving me some information, such as, we’ve had remarkable response to our software and our servers are struggling but we have a whole lot of new servers being installed ad everything will be better as of the 1st of July, I’d be happy, even more so if they offered me an extension to my subscription due to the dissatisfaction they’ve caused me. But nothing. There’s not even anywhere on their website I can check the availability of the web admin so as to save myself the time of raising a support ticket. They could save themselves some time having to respond.
So in keeping with the point of this website, I think it is inconsiderate of businesses to advertise and charge for a service that they consistently fail to provide. I think brushing polite inquiries away with “we’re doing maintenance” is disrespectful.
I hope it gets better soon because when it works properly, it’s brilliant, but for now, as of the middle of June 2010, I’d advise you to NOT purchase Intego’s software particularly the content barrier and certainly not if it’s your desire to be able to administer the protection via the internet. I’d be interested to hear if anyone else is suffering this problem because I could not find anything on the internet, and I figure it’s not just me because Intego have acknowldged a problem every time I’ve contacted them.
This latest disgraceful behaviour on the Metro trains this last weekend reminds me of what my father and I used to describe these people as, deadshits. They’re all over the place unfortunately, and these young deadshits that terrorised the passengers on the Frankston line on Friday night are the children of deadshit parents, I’d bet my last dollar.
I fear nothing substantial will happen to them either because they’re considered under age, what bullshit, these children knew what they were doing and they were enjoying it. They do not deserve any respect or consideration because they have certainly not shown any to the people they’ve abused.
If I had the authority to do so I would not hesitate to have them damaged in some way, I’d even be prepared to do it, and you know what, castration would be a good start. We do that to animals that are aggressive and violent, so why not do it to these animals, and do it without any anesthetic.
I’d like to see the authorities use some of the terror laws against these children. They terrorised those passengers, some of which were old and some children, those piss weak pieces of shit deserve to be marked for life as terrorists and treated as such. Let it be known by all deadshits that if you are disrespectful, violent and abusive towards other people there will be real and immediate consequences that will stay with you for life or until you do it again and end up where you should be at the first offense, in prison, being some big bastard’s bitch for ten years. And you’ll lose your nuts.
Three cheers for Tim Redmond who did step in to help during one attack, I hope you manage a civil suit against the offenders and strip them of any money and property they have.
Given Scott at GroupThink has done a post in the theme of this site (Things that shit him, me, you), I wanted to link to it, as it made me laugh!
I’d agree with the whole list I reckon, especially the comment about the Australian movies, check out all the goodness over at GroupThink.
I hope to see Kick Ass soon, it looks fabulous, and I’m looking forward to Salt with Angelina, must look up when it’s screening here.
