Windows Vista pisses me off

Last night I was doing some stuff and had all kinds of open apps.
I went away for like 15 minutes and apparently Windows Vista updated itself and restarted my computer!!!
It probably told me that it’s going to do it but the fact that it just goes ahead and does it is really stupid.

I don’t know who in Microsoft makes these design decisions but it makes me angry that they don’t respect the user.

The reason behind it might be that the updates are important for security or all the other problems Vista has but it’s stupid and it shouldn’t restart my computer without my permission.

It also tries to remember what you where doing but in a retarded way and I lost stuff.

I’m really considering moving to Linux and trowing this piece of crap operating system into trash.

Don’t upgrade to Internet Explorer 8 beta, yet

Yes, many people did and they are complaining.
It’s a beta product and it’s not meant to be for users. You can safely (well…) upgrade to Internet Explorer 8 when it’s not beta anymore.

It has so many issues, Internet Explorer 7 has so many problems already and I can’t imagine what sort of issues Internet Explorer 8 “Beta” has…

Here are some stories:

The definition of beta software:

Beta software is for users who want to participate in testing an unfinished product.

Secret Places on Google Earth

If you haven’t seen Google Earth yet, go ahead and download and install it here:

http://earth.google.com/

After you are done, put these coordinates in the search box (on top left):

1-
50° 0’38.20″N 110° 6’48.32″W

This one is really cool but it looks like it’s random.

2-
19°56’58.08″S 69°38’2.25″W
(Zoom in a little bit)

Now, this one is not random, it was made by someone, some say Mayans but remember, they couldn’t fly so I think making something like this that only someone in the air can see would be their last thought… Correct me if I’m wrong, I can’t find anything about this on the internet.
Honestly, it looks like an alien to me
