PC World's 10 Things to Hate About Tech

Hmm.. I am in a bloggy blog mood. But here goes.

Ran across yet another article (yay!).

I love some of the stuff. I live in the Seattle Area. Seattle is nice. Seattle has a lot of tech companies (that I hope I can somehow get into one of them - hard being a techie with a business major). Microsoft, Amazon.com, Cray, Valve Corporation, Expedia.com, RealNetworks, Isilon, T-Mobile USA, Bungie Studios (Halo anyone?), Monolith Productions (FEAR), et al (and in no particular order).

With it comes the crème de la crème of the software world. So some of this stuff on that list really hits close to home. :p

Taken from the list:
1. People Who Talk on Smartphones 24/7.
Yeah this one really hits close to home. Not only here in Seattle though. I personally still use a 'normal' bar phone (2+ year old Samsung). I really want a HTC pda phone if T-Mobile will ever pick up a proper Windows Mobile one (maybe wait for the new Windows Mobile later this year). Oh and equally weird are the people that keep bluetooth headsets on. I have a bluetooth
headset. I only use it when I am driving or playing multiplayer on the PS3. Other than that, it gets turned off. :)

9. The Laptop Crowd at Starbucks and Panera. Wireless networking technologies have enabled a generation of do-nothings and posers to look busy in coffee shops and restaurants instead of finding themselves all alone in their dark basements.

Yeah these techno warriors hog up all the seats when I want to sit down for 10-15 mins to drink my coffee. Though I am insanely curious as to what the hell are they doing with their laptop out sipping a 'tall' (aka small) cup of latte (as opposed to my venti Strawberries and Cream frap). Do they really need to Facebook/Twitter that much? Personally, I prefer the 'dark basement' but then again, I have a proper mancave.

10. Today's Pandemic of IT Industry Pundits and Blowhards.
Haha. I just posted something about this a few posts back. :p

Try to get some sun today guys. Oh wait, it is gone (up here in Seattle area anyways)... :(
