A little rant about Windows 8 and Google and etc.

If you're wondering what Windows 8 might be like in its retail incarnations, then you can read all about it here.

I was looking for some of those critical reactions to it all after almost two months of using the consumers preview, but the usual suspects aren't saying a whole lot just now. Maybe I should.... It's reliable, it's pretty, it's not as user friendly as Windows 7, it has a lot of fluff that traditional keyboard and mouse PC users will find superfluous and or annoying, and it isn't any faster that my Windows 7, even after cleaning out its Prefetch, Windows Temp and User's Temp folders, and rebooting to regenerate only the essentials of those, followed
by an Auslogics Defrag to get all its little ducks in a row again, and that's all contrary to the hype you've seen about it, proving once again that you can't believe everything you read or hear - even from me. My opinions are almost never objective, but rather subjective because I calls 'em like I sees 'em, and I see this operating system as being 'too little and too late' for its intended purpose of grabbing market share from Apple. There! I've said it.

Moving right along, what the hell's with Google? They are still screwing around with changes to the Blogger format and bringing out a 'new' one, but they still can't get the goddamned thing to let you select a font and then stay on that one until you're ready to change to something else. Every time you pause to add a picture or a video or scratch your ass or pick your nose, the damned font reverts to some god-awful crap you wouldn't be caught dead using in real life.
So today's Question Everything, Mr. Google, you pinhead, is "Why the hell can't the font be left where the user selects it until that user selects some other one from your pitiful list?" And why can't I use the whole range of Windows fonts in this blog?  And why do I too often find it necessary to go back over the text line by line to manually re-format the blocks of text into complete lines without gaps or half lines of sentences? Doesn't anyone over there understand the concepts of word-wrap? My point here being you should finish one job properly before going off on another half-assed project because you got bored with the first one before it was finished completely. If you've got the attention span of a stoplight, you should be directing traffic, not writing code! Get the picture?
