Vista is a waste of time...

no... really... it makes you less efficient...

In an independent research, Pfeiffer Consulting conducted the research based on an independently financed series of benchmarks that establish how Vista impacts User Interface Friction (UIF) and user efficiency.

It found Vista to be even worse than Windows XP (SP2) -- and of course Mac OS X.

P.S. Results from research and studies don't lie eh? ;)

MSN censors links

Censorship, originally uploaded by Isaac Mao.

Well, it turns out that MSN Messenger censors links

I was trying to send this link to all my friends to get them to vote for me so I could win some cash:

But Adium told me of connection errors, Proteus pretended to send but the other person never received the message, and I refused to use the real MSN Messenger but apparently it behave like Proteus.

Server-side filtering with no error message is SO crappy! Best analogy is that of a government secretly pulling letters out of the mail system because they contain naughty info. Microsoft, repent! Repent now! I need to win cash and you're stopping me!

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom review...

Haven't had a good look at this as I'm not into digital photography workflow (I'm a 'point, shoot, hope and pray for a few decent shots' kinda guy *grin*), but seeing that this may interest a number of people... and it's from Ars Technica...

What Vista Is Really Like

This interesting bit of prose depicts an analogy where you woke and found a strange and beautiful woman in your bed, and she was inscrutible, unpredictable, and dangerous... but oh so beautiful?

Read on... cos it's quite an amusing read...

OK, I'll admit I haven't read all of these, but the few that I have are quite funny. And the art is superb. ;)
