SPOILERS! Pat and Brian review Star Trek Into Darkness, featuring Brian’s list of ridiculous nitpicks.
In case you want to know what I thought of Star Trek Into Darkness, listen to me on this podcast.
If you know me, you know I’m not a Windows person. I’m a Mac guy first, and a Linux guy second. Windows, to me, is for gaming.
This week, I upgraded my gaming PC from Windows 7 to Windows 8. We’re now 6 months past the launch and coming up on the release of Windows 8.1, so I figured it was time to get on board. It really does bother me when I don’t have the latest software, even when it’s Windows.
From what I’ve read, Windows 8 is very divisive. Personally, I really like the Metro (sorry, Modern) UI. It’s very clean and uncluttered, and it has a definite structure, while still being a little malleable. I feel like Microsoft is the only company really trying to differentiate from Apple. There are some things I don’t like right now, but I’ve only used it for a few hours. I plan to write more about my experiences after I’ve had some time to actually experience it more.
The trick is typically used for pranks or harmless notes, but Bitcoin discussion boards lit up on Monday with the news that someone took advantage of it for a nastier purpose: adding encoded links that claim to lead to porn sites, some featuring children. (CNNMoney verified that the links exist in Bitcoin’s database, but did not check to see if they actually went to child porn sites.)
Yeah, that’s probably for the best.
