iPad's are for losers.
Thursday, May 27, 2010
Apple's iPad goes on sale tomorrow in Australia and people are already queuing up to be the first to purchase it.
I have a strong belief that these people are losers.
I don't understand why people feel the absolute need to be the first to have something. Does it really matter if they go and get theirs on Saturday? I'm sure they'll be okay if they get it a day after the release.
Earlier on today, a friend suggested that this was exactly the same as lining up for concert tickets. I had to disagree. Concert tickets are for a one off event and if you don't get them straight away, you could miss out all together. The iPad will be around for awhile. People will have every opportunity in the world to purchase one.
Are people's lives really that boring and uneventful that they feel the need to stand around in the city on a freezing night, waiting to purchase a new gadget (which I personally believe is a stupid invention anyway)?
Do people do this to imply that they actually do something? In an 'Oh look at me, I queued up all night to get the iPad first' sort of way. What does this actually achieve for them? Popularity and social status? Maybe for 30 seconds.
They're surely not going to be remembered as being cool because they lined up to get an oversized iPhone that can't make telephone calls.
Seems a bit silly to me.
Edit: There have been news stories claiming that people lined up at the George St Apple store in Sydney, not knowing that a JB Hi-Fi store metres away was also selling the iPad... along with about 40 other stores in Sydney. Are these people stupid?! As if that wasn't obvious. iPad queue waiters are lame.
The ABC is full of kooks
Tuesday, May 25, 2010
This is just bizarre. I frigging love the way the ABC works. So dysfunctional yet so fabulous.
ps, I heart Kerry O'Brien and Tony Jones.
Reports last month revealed the Lego was made available to ABC staff to play with while they waited in the cafe queue at one of the broadcaster's Sydney offices.
The introduction of the Lego blocks was just one of numerous promotions around the country aimed at drawing ideas from staff to boost innovation at the ABC.
"I think the long-suffering taxpayer that funds the ABC might be interested to know what the cost was," Senator Abetz said.
"Plasticine might have been cheaper, I don't know, or finger painting."
Mr Scott was unable to say if the ABC had paid for the Lego or not, but he defended the initiative as a very important idea aimed at promoting innovation among ABC staff.
"We have innovation as part of the core values at the ABC," he said.
Senator Abetz said promoting a culture of innovation at the ABC was not in question.
"What is in question is the, if I might be polite and use the word bizarre, methodology, to provide building blocks, building Lego blocks, in the cafeteria for staff members to play with to enhance their creativity," he said.

Tell me, does your workplace have any 'unusual' concepts for productivity implemented in your office cafeteria?

Pornography for confectioners
Thursday, May 13, 2010I don't know what it is about confectionary, but it always ends up offending someone.

You may remember this story about the fruit lollies which appeared to be engaging in sex acts.
The new offensive lolly is this, lo and behold the R Rated jellybaby!
Lyz Parker, 23, found him in a bag of Candy King she got at Tesco Home Plus in Staines, Middlesex.
She said: "When I opened the bag I screamed so loudly the whole office came running over. I couldn't believe my eyes."
Lyz, from Camberley, Surrey, called Candy King but at first they thought it was a prank call. The firm is now investigating, and said yesterday: "Clearly this is not part of Candy King's assortment."
Tesco added: "We expect better behaviour from our jelly sweets. We'll raise it with the supplier."
Hilarious.
