Foleo: Hands-On Report

September 27, 2007

No, not by me. More fruits of the otherwise absolutely incredibly bad (as in awful) Microsoft Live Search:

Sneak Peek at the Palm Foleo

The killer quote:

Would I be willing to buy the Foleo when it comes out?

As a consumer – no. As a regular consumer, I want a fully functional, fully featured device which means more than email, and more than web browsing. Instant on is nice but I can certainly wait the minute it takes for Windows to boot. Now if the device was $200 dollars cheaper, then maybe I’d consider it.

It’s that last sentence — it’s what everyone, and I mean everyone, said:

Now if the device was $200 dollars cheaper, then maybe I’d consider it.

Even those who panned it mercilessly (me me me!) said, well, make it cheaper, and yeah, OK then.

Lost opportunity.

Microsoft’s new Live search comes up with something I hadn’t seen before. Other than that, that search engine still sucks. It’s like… Vista!

Google Is The Last Place I Would Look For Movies

Legal Watchdog Group Uncovers 300 Apparently Pirated Films Viewed More than 22 Million Times on Google Video

I looked at some of the screensnaps they took (assholes put them in a PDF!). Right off the bat they lie: they have Airwolf listed! Airwolf was a TV series! (And a lousy one at that. Those cultists will kill me now…) There are some other TV series too; mainly Japanese anime episodes.

I see the legendary 7337 aXXo is represented. You’ll never catch him/her/them. And even if you did, I think someone would set up a PayPal account for bail — and it’d be raised.

(Unlike you cheap bastards here who are holding onto your lousy five bucks — skip that artery-clogging Happy Meal or brain-cell-killing Latte!)

And they found 300? That’s probably a fraction. I’d go look for myself but guess what, Hollywood? You haven’t put out shit I’ve been dying to see for years and years!

Blog Notes: DigitalLife Expo Today

September 27, 2007

All of you had better hope that Palm acts true to form and does not bring a Foleo for me to molest.

All of you had better hope there is not an Asus Eee there for me to molest.

If either of those appear, you think I’m going to write up my Patented Detailed As All Fuck Fondle Reports for you?

I see the trend here.

Hit those PayPal accounts. Especially you fat bastards sitting there in your underwear with your $600 iPhones next to you. Don’t plead poverty to me!

Or be wearing lead when you come to this blog on Monday.
