Abomination

I saw an abomination a few days ago.

It was a Macbook Air.

Not that it's a Macbook, not even because it's the way-too-slimmed-down version on it. It was because the owner (a nitwit to be honest) installed Windows7 on it.
No, he did not install Win7 via a virtual machine. Win7 is since the installment his main operating system. I'll let this sink in for a minute.

I can accept that he (the owner of the laptop(I can't even call it a Macbook anymore)) is using Apple hardware because he can afford it and thinks it's superior, and I can accept that he thought Win7 is the OS he can cope with best and fits his requirements, but those 2 things are not meant to ever be together in one laptop.
 I can imagine that the guy who got the assignment of installing Win7 as the main OS on that Macbook felt like he had to do a hellish task, because someone who's capable of doing such things should know what monster it will become.

Not that it ran badly, no, it started up like any newly bought laptop would do. It's just the moment someone told him to bringing up the context menu he started wondering how to accomplish such a thing without a mouse.
You see, Apple has a few was to accomplish this where Windows has right-click. You could for example press "ctrl" and click at the same time. It would've worked, but Win7 doesn't recognize this. Windows on the other hand has the open-context-menu-button on the right of the space bar, but sadly Macbooks lack that kind of feature.
This, combined with the fact that the poor owner doesn't really understand computers at all made me feel like I've seen an act of defiance to all the good that is in this world.

It was such a horrible thing that I wanted to share this so you would know to avoid this kind of things.

PS: I may have exaggerated with my feeling over a simple right-click function, but please, for the sake of all that is good, remember that 2 good things together may become much worse that they were good.

Weird?

There are people who cry when they hear folk music, no matter what.

There are people who eat paper and have never really felt like questioning it.

There are people who haven't had sex yet and people who had sex eight times this week and you can't tell them apart because they're equally kind and well-adjusted and happy.

There are people who are on the internet until 4am and you assume they're looking at porn but they aren't, they're reading about underground rivers and concrete graveyards and abandoned subway stations.

There are people who you've known for ten years and one day you realise you've never once seen them go to use the bathroom and it's because that's the way they've wanted it.

There are people who talk to themselves and learn a lot from the conversation.

There are people who almost never smile but are almost always happy.

There are people who plan way too much ahead, but never mind when nothing goes according to the original plan.

There are people who people know entire albums of their favourite artist by heart but can't remember what they had to do at work when someone asks them about it.

There are people who like sandwiches but refuse to eat the part that's in between their thumb and index finger.

There are people who can't sleep unless it's completely dark in the room.

There are people who see fantastic tales in everything they do and write stories about it without ever letting someone else read it.

And they tell me there are people who are normal, but I don't know what they look like because I've never met one, and neither have you, so why not compare yourself to real people instead.



Based on viruscomix.com, I've added a few myself.
I'll never claim I made these all up myself. Actually, I made up very little, sometimes I just described some of my friends.
