Need For Speed Rivals

Need For Speed: Rivals. Great looking game, horrible controls on PC. Why let some monkey unaware of existence of MOUSE on PC do the conversion from console to PC?

Ford Motor Co. Indian Execs fired for having sense of humor

After hundred years of boring Ford Automobile ads, finally somebody got creative and made campaign I liked. I still would not buy pieces of junk like Ford cars, but at least I would have said that they have sense of humor that fits 21st century.

I remember when I was little kid seeing really dumb, unbelievable ads in comic books. Its what got me intrigued in marketing in the first place. How to sell complete useless junk, but make it sound cool.

Back Online

After two days of pointless attempts to get my ISP's tech support to tell me what is really going on, they fixed problem on their end and I am back online.

This morning I somehow managed to insult two Wil Wheaton fans (look, its not my fault he is a bad actor), and civil attempts at arguing merits of my points resulted in them banning me from their pages. Oh well, I'll survive.

And in other news your appliances might be spying on you:

Internet Is Down ... Except for Facebook, Twitter and Google

Unfortunately YouTube is in down for me, alongside with almost entire rest of the internet.

I can search on Google, but results fail connection. Gmail, Google Translate and Blogger work, and its amazing that except for couple social media services everything else is down.

My ISP's Twitter and Facebook do not mention a problem, Tech Support number has prerecorded message blaming power outage, and speaking to actual tech person leads nowhere as guy cant speak English at all, speaks horrible French with ghetto accent and keeps denying its them.
