Samsung’s New anti-iPhone ad

I have already seen this stupid advertisement going around every social channel. Apparently Samsung is going to run this as an ad campaign? I really hope that isn’t true because it is pretty much false advertising. After they get through the hardware specs they begin listing OS specific features without doing the same for the iPhone.

“Tilt to Zoom” for example is one of the “features” the Samsung has. I am not sure what the hell tilt to zoom means aside from some strange method of photo manipulation, although it sure as fuck doesn’t sound intuitive. I guess iPhone has no answer to this? What about pinch to zoom? Then they just list a ton of buzz words like Smart Stay, S-Beam, Share-Shot, Direct Call but doesn’t list any iPhone buzz terms like Airplay, FaceTime, Newstand and whatever else.

I hope everyone who sees this ad is smart enough to see how dishonest it is. Also, it’s probably a really big mistake to have a picture of an iPhone on the ad…

How Pineda Tacos made sure I never go back

Pineda Tacos: Burrito Beats

Rant

Me and the boys often go out to lunch together. Pretty regularly we would go to this awesome little burrito shop called Pineda Tacos. They have these huge burritos, with awesome meats and low prices. I love getting the huge burrito and eating it twice. However due to awful customer service, I will never go back.

Crabby, non-accomidating cashier
Stealth-charges for bottled water
Refuses to give a water cup
Can’t pay with same card twice?

Get a FUCKING Facebook Account

Rant

What is up with people still not having a Facebook account? A privacy issue? Just don’t post anything you want private, its JUST THAT EASY. Do you want to be “that guy” who doesn’t have a Facebook account? Just fucking get with it already.

It isn’t that hard to responsibly manage a Facebook account without getting fired from your job, arrested, getting your identity stolen or downloading a million viruses. If you don’t know how to do that, then kill yourself. You probably don’t even realize how big of an inconvenience you are being to your friends.

Getting Really Steamed Up About Steam

Rant

After downloading the Indie Gala Bundle I was forced to re-experience Steam, and quickly remembered why I hate it so much from many years ago. It opens old wounds, and creates new wounds. I hate this motherfucker service with all my heart. Why?

It opens each time I launch a Steam game
Long-as-fuck startup time
It installs itself into startup items
Awful interface
Cheats users out of money

Fuck the Government

Rant

Seriously… just watch it. I don’t even want to type a description. Bottom line is, I hate the fucking government and I will ALWAYS, for the rest of my fucking life, vote NO on everything the government ever puts in front of me.

NO to all bills
NO to all laws
NO to all assessments
NO to all taxes
Stay out of my FUCKING LIFE
