I don’t want an “I’d +1 that” t-shirt. I NEED one. OMG. Google just killing it with the swagger they give their developers. How amazing is that phrase? The usage is brilliant. For example: Alex Morgan. I’d +1 that.

Giz -When iOS 5 launches, Facetime calls over 3G will be possible. But according to 9to5mac’s sources, Verizon only wants 3G Facetime available to userswho have tiered data plans, not unlimited ones. Apple doesn’t like this.

Fucking Verizon Wireless. First they kill off unlimited data. Now they want to cripple FaceTime (iOS’ streaming video) for people still on unlimited plans. Verizon has SOME nerve grandfathering people on unlimited data plans and then treating them like they suck and banning shit. Duh videochat is going to use more bandwidth. Why ban it? It’s because they want people to max out their bandwidth caps using it and pay ridiculous overage fees.

Well let me tell you something, Verizon. Ain’t getting your way against Apple. When Apple wants something, they get it. They have more cash that the entire US Government for Christ’s sake. Obviously, Apple is all about its iOS user community and it wouldn’t want some.

Who the hell is Verizon restricting which apps are allowed to stream video and to whom. Net neutrality, ya fuckers.

Side note – Verizon for landlines is still awesome with FiOS and no plans to cap data any time soon. It’s the assholes over at Verizon Wireless who suck.

This New Gmail Forward Filter Warning is Pissing Me Off

Dear Google,

I know you’re trying to raise awareness for morons who set up filters years ago and forgot. I know you are trying to point out auto forwarding filters for people who had their accounts hacked and have mail forward without their knowledge. I know you are making this hard to turn off in case hackers try to disable it BUT…

1) I’m not stupid and don’t forget what filters set up and 2) I’m not stupid enough to get my account hacked. So can you take this obnoxious red bar out of my email? I know I have forward filters set up. You don’t need to tell me, assknuckle. This shit is going to be up for a week? Oh God!

 

Dirtbags at Apple are Screwing with MacBook Air SSDs

Engadget – When you head to Apple’s online store to configure yourMacBook Air, you’ll find options to increase processor speed or SSD capacity — depending on the model you select, of course. There’s no mention of flash drive speed, however, though it’s now clear that not all SSDs are created equal at Apple — not only when it comes to capacity, but also performance. Jonathan over atTLDdiscovered a fairly significant discrepancy when benchmarking both MacBook Air models over the weekend. The 128GB Samsung SSD in his 11-inch Air was able to achieve 246 MB/s write and 264 MB/s read speeds. When he switched to the 13-inch model, however, speeds dropped to 156 MB/s and 208 MB/s, respectively, using that notebook’s 128GB Toshiba SSD.

Fucking Apple, putting inferior SSDs in its 13″ MacBook Airs. Probably trying to keep costs down but sell it for so much more money. Bastards.

The coffee in this office is out of control. I’m borderline tripping on a half of a cup right now:
