Facebook Error Sending Messages
I’ve been getting this error trying to send a message to friends on Facebook:
HTTP Error
Transport error (#302) while retrieving data from endpoint `/inbox/ajax/ajax.php’: Unknown HTTP error #302
Weird, I wonder what’s the problem.
Windows XP Sucks
This lovely error screen, a window randomly drawn multiple times across the screen, cloned to hell, is a reason why I dislike the Microsoft Windows XP operating system:
As abstract art, though, I think it might get decent reviews!
Apple’s Email Advertising Inconsistencies
I got the following advertisement in my inbox just now for an Apple mac. It’s part of their student campaign, so I receive the emails to my old Cornell address. At first glance, it seems innocuous, but think carefully about the contradiction inherent in the panels:
A free iPod touch. Another reason to get a Mac for school.
Reminder: A free iPod isn’t the only reason a Mac makes sense.
1. Runs Office, Vista, and XP.
2. Has built-in WiFi.
3. Doesn’t get those PC viruses.
4. Comes ready to video chat.
5. Does so much more with photos and movies.
6. Delivers course materials and more via iTunes U.
Let’s put this together. According to Apple, the number one selling point for marketing their Macbook computers to students is that existing Microsoft software–Office, Windows Visa, and Windows XP can all be run on the Macbook. Don’t tell me that somehow magically, when Windows is running on Apple’s hardware, that all the malware, viruses, worms, and spyware written for Windows will suddenly stop working or infecting your PC. Yet their #3 point is that the Macbook “won’t get those PC viruses.”
Sorry Apple, the Macbook will definitely get PC viruses if it’s running Windows–which you suggest it should be.
