A startling discovery and a crappy rant
| October 4th, 2005After reading and rereading and rereading and rereading my little Blu-Ray rant, I came to a wonderful conclusion: I don’t fucking care about Blu-Ray or HD-DVD. At all.
Current technology news is completely boring. I’m tired of hearing about the next shit-fest that one of the technology giants has to offer. Frankly the next DVD standard doesn’t mean a damn thing to me, the whole thing is completly irrelevent in the grand scheme of things. I can see it turning into the next dual-standard, where the most popular company (or more popular standard?) demolishes the competition.
Bottom line is it doesn’t matter. It’s all marketing.
Does anyone remember the day when innovation was brought on by necessity? When truly amazing things were invented not because someone will make a huge profit off it, but actually gain something they needed? Well shit, those were simpler times, things actually had a pinch of quality backing it. The first example of this that comes to mind is Dell—any intelligent IT guru’s (I am not an IT guru, fuck you) technological pariah.
A decade ago, owning a Dell was owning the king of prebuilt OEM machines. Today, owning a Dell is owning a refurbished peice of shit you bought for $399. Aren’t you proud of your lavish investment? Go suck a railroad spike, you ass.
I despise people who own Dells today, because they have the same attitude as someone who owned a Dell a decade ago—they falsely believe they own the king of PC’s, and they make every effort to rub it in your face. Every time someone calls me with a computer question and I come back saying it’s likely the hardware, the response I get EVERY TIME is “oh, well it’s a Dell.” Oh, really? It’s a Dell? Really?
THAT’S THE GODDAMN PROBLEM.
You have a Dell, your hard drive failed not because the drive was subjected to conditions that would cause it to fail, but because there is a very small label on it that says “factory reconditioned.” Know what that means? It means Dell is willingly putting shit in your computer to cut costs. That’s how it works, you know. How do you think PC companies can offer computers at such low prices? You’re paying for some asshole sitting in a cubicle at Dell or HP or Gateway saying “okay, well, company A can offer us 10,000 refurbished motherboards at a 3 dollar discount.”
Haha, tools.
