Angry Birds

Not something that annoys me for once!

I absolutely LOVE Angry Birds. I was among one of the first few hundred to download the original game, and I currently rank in the top 5% of all Angry Birds, Angry Birds seasons and Angry Birds Rio players of all time, and its because of this that I am posting this image:

Steve Jobs 1955 - 2011

Today, the world lost one of the greatest visionaries it has ever seen, or ever will, for that matter.

Steven Paul “Steve” Jobs has passed away at the age of 56; just one day after the launch of a product that he helped mastermind and create.You were one of a kind Steve, you will be deeply missed

Your Windows PC has sent us an error report!

So I've just spent the last 42 minutes trolling the scam pc error company that just rang me up.
Ah the fun I had, I told them I had 8 windows PCs and that ill do eenie meenie to chose one, which I did (windows 98 here we go). Then I said it was "dumping physical memory" and kept them waiting while it did that. Then I said it needed to install updates, that internet explorer 3 was out of date and needed updating, that I couldn't find their remote access site ect. So basically by now I had already wasted nearly 25 minutes of their time.

Then I said id use another computer (my mac....shhh dont tell them yet...) and carried on for the next 20 minutes until I told them I couldn't find the start button.

He hung up on me when I finally said I was on a Mac.

I love doing this to scam companies. They wanna take my money? Well I wanna waste their time!

Don't EVER refer to Mega Bloks as LEGO

One thing that really makes my blood boil is when you go into a shop and you see boxes of Mega Bloks among the boxes of LEGO. You wouldn't put a Nokia brick in with the iPhones would you!

Mega Bloks are not LEGO, nor are they anywhere near the standard of LEGO.

When I was younger and I would find a box of loose LEGO at a car boot sale, I would sort through it and take out all the "fake" bricks and give it back to the person selling it!

I think this has to be one of my biggest annoyances. I haven't played with LEGO for years, since I was a child but it still gets on my nerves!


Also it's LEGO. Not LEGOS. It is not plural, it is a collective term like "hair". You don's say, "Ooh I like the colour of your hairs" do you!

ARGH!

22 Fake Apple Stores Found in ONE City!

Ok, so a few weeks ago we heard about an American man living in china who had stumbled across an apple store in the city of Kunming in China, and we soon heard that another 4 had been found.

Now Chinese officials are saying there are 22 fake apples stores, all in this one city! In fact some stores tried so hard to be like the proper ones that they even dressed their staff in the same official apple store clothes and gave them all apple store-like lanyards.

The government have shut down at least 2 of the stores for trading without a license and the other shops have been told to stop using the logos as Chinese laws prohibit copying the "look and feel" of another company without permission.

It is not clear whether the shops being reprimanded were selling products sourced from Apple distributors in the country or grey market imports.

The Kunming retail watchdog said it would step up its monitoring efforts and set up a hotline through which the public can report unauthorised Apple shops they find.

Crazy?! First fake iPhones from china, now fully fledged fake shops!

Unboxing the iPhone 5

Well, you guessed it, it's probably a fake (seeing as the iPhone 5 isn't due to be released for another month or so)

The video below was posted on youtube by ZAGG, a company who make "The InvisibleShield". Obviously a marketing stunt, but what a great way to get publicity!

I'm annoyed that, due to my contract, I wont be getting the iPhone 5 for another year (when 2 year contract runs out) and by that time, the iPhone 6 is sure to have arrived. Oh well.

From the beach

Just a quick on today, blogging from my phone on a beach with 1 bar of signal (not even 3G!).

Seaweed is so annoying! All I want to do is go for a paddle, but in order to get into the sea I have to walk through a massive deposit of the stuff. It's slippery and bloody annoying. Oh well, I'll dig a hole instead.

Phone Troubles

Ok so 30 minutes ago I dropped my phone down the side of my bed, and because of the way my room is laid out, I had to unscrew part of my desk to slide it out so that I could swing the part of the desk near my bed out just so I could move my bed away from the wall, only to find that the phone hadn't gone all the way down, instead was caught in the folds of the duvet about a handslength from the top of my bed. I could have reached down and got it with little effort. Great. Time wasted that I could have been blogging....or washing up.

How annoying
