Xbox 360 crashes, caught on tape
From Digg.com:
For those of you who are too lazy to look for the video, this is a direct link to it.
Why I never buy anything when it is first released. Always wait for at least Rev 2.0. =D
Crash!
If you like Mythbusters and enjoy a good car crash check out the episode that was on last night. Really awesome footage of a head-on semi accident that they staged. Awesome stuff, too bad Discovery charges a god awful amount for any of their TV shows (like $20+ an episode) cause I might have actually purchased that. Oh well, their loss.
Average Grocery Getter = Dumb
The grocery store across the street from me recently put in 3 of those nifty self-checkout lanes. Personally I am all for it as that way I don’t have to talk to anyone while I am at the store. But there are two drawbacks, the lanes are almost never freaking open, and most people are too stupid to use them. Take tonight for instance, my wife forgot to by cheese for the tacos we had for dinner. So I stop to get some on the way home. No biggie, boy was I wrong. The lady in front of me took about 10 minutes to ring up the last 1/4 of her items (about where she was when I arrived in the line) and became extremely confused with regard to how to sign her name when she purchased with a credit card.
I dunno, just makes my head hurt. These self checkout lanes are supposed to improve your shopping experience, mostly because you would think the stupid people would stay away from the lanes for the simple fact that they don’t have a clue as to what they are doing. Just makes it so obvious that we will never be able to do away with a cashier anywhere because 99% of the world is just too dumb to do this for themselves.
