Wait till you get a hold of my left-handed smoke sifter.

CNN is afraid that the US will no longer be considered a technological powerhouse. They fear this because the US filed less patents this year than in any of the previous 13 years. If you’re not so slow that you count on the likes of CNN to influence ANY aspect of your life, you should find it cute that the mature grown-ups that make the news(remember now, they’re not reporting it, they’re making this shit up) consider our innovation as a country to be dependent upon how many patents we file.
Honestly, who isn’t smart enough to realize that we as a country stopped being a technological innovator a very long time ago? We’re globally ridiculed for the sheer volume of bullshit patents we generate and for the fact that we use almost all of them to siphon money from the real innovators that inadvertently tread upon one of the millions of overlapping patents that we have filed simply for this reason. We’re a country of opportunistic trolls.

The house parties have fizzled out and the paid advertisements in the form of reviews has come and gone. That’s right, Windows 7 has been released. So what does everyone think? Well, if you’re looking for a calm and unbiased response, don’t ask these guys.
A growing number of people are getting locked into an endless reboot loop during upgrade, destroying their Vista installs and leaving them with no OS.
Woops.
Microsoft must be working day and night to try to resolve this issue, right? From TFA:
According to Microsoft’s head of support, however, the endless reboot problem isn’t on the company’s top list of concerns. “It’s very early in the process,” said Ben Bennett, the director of Microsoft’s Windows consumer global support group, in an interview Monday afternoon. “In terms of the top issues of customers who choose to upgrade, the XP-to-Windows 7 [upgrade] is up there on the list for lots of reasons. The netbook upgrade scenario — how do I upgrade my netbook to Windows 7 — is also a big one. And another is, ‘Where are my applications?’ after people have upgraded. They wonder what happened to e-mail and photo editing, for example. Those are the top issues so far.”
So, they’re more concerned with those upgrading from XP to 7. Well, that makes sense. I’m sure that was their plan all along.
At least I got to keep the paper hats and confetti.
