MICROSOFT EXCEL…

We need to have a chat. Sit down.

We need to talk about your autorecovery function. For example, why it is that you always pester me with useless autorecovery versions for files that were saved more recently.

However, you still insist on NEVER presenting me with autorecovery versions when there’s actually a legitimate need for them.

Like, you know, when you encounter an “unknown error” and summarily corrupt the files for over two hours’ worth of work.

Don’t laugh at me, you little shit. This is Serious Business.

Oh yeah, how would you like it if I gave you what was coming to you?

…oh. Well.. Um… let’s just go ahead and try doing that work again, then, huh? I mean… maybe it will go faster this time?

…asshole.

alexandraerin: futuretechreport: Geography of Hate - Crowdsourcing Tech Plots out Most Aggressive Areas With Racist, Homophobic and Ableist Tweets  Just a month or two ago I highlighted a site that kept count of homophobic language on Twitter. Floating Sheep’s visualization of hatred is extremely powerful. Outside of the obvious social views on this map, what is most interesting from a pure technology perspective is how Twitter is consistently looked to (above all other networks) to take the pulse of a country. Floating Sheep’s map charting hate tweets, which allows you to search on several flavors of hate, is a creative use of data and mapping to raise awareness. via: fastcompany This advances my theory that artificial lighting is attracted to hate.

DiCaprio and Mulligan, meanwhile, don’t seem like star-crossed lovers so much as a delusional man in love with a bauble of a woman. Maybe that’s intentional?

meetingboy: I’m sorry. I can’t do business with anyone who only supports IE 5.5 and Netscape 7.0. This is SAP we’re talking about. They only support IE up to version 7, then block anything higher.

Introducing Dolby Atmos™

Developed with input from movie professionals, Dolby Atmos represents a dynamic shift in audio, reinventing the traditional surround sound methodology and offering a complete sound platform.

Clearly Dolby doesn’t have any Whovians on the marketing/branding team.

“Hey, I know you’re about to pack up, but we need a graphic to represent our ongoing quest to improve QUALITY for a communication that has to go out by CLOSE OF BUSINESS TODAY. So, put together a picture of a jeweler polishing a diamond. No, no, don’t bother finding one. I have this stock photo of a jeweler polishing a ring, just rip that ring out and take this image of a bigass diamond, and just SLAP IT ON THERE. Oh, and can you color the diamond pink? We need it to fit the corporate colors. Nice, nice. Oh man, I should have had you put the initiative name on there too. No. No. Don’t bother adding it, you’ll just end up wasting five minutes worrying about shit like contrast that nobody’s gonna notice anyway. I’ll just open this up in Paint and add it in right now. Won’t take more than a second.”
