Unnecessary quotes

I've walked by this information board many times over the past month and I had never really noticed the un-necessary quotation marks. This morning I stopped and snapped a photo of it.

I wonder what they mean by "off-peak" LOL Happy

Stupid questions, stupid answers on Yahoo! Questions.
What becomes of them? If you are lucky enough someone makes a flash animation of them and many people laugh.

Still waiting for that Greek keyboard

I found this graphic on wewantapplegreece.com, and it's quite funny (but I am sure it's all Greek to you)

The iPhone was released in Greece last August, but there is neither an OS localization available nor a Greek keyboard for people to input text in Greek. This image makes fun of that.

The Mac asks What's going on here guys?
The PC responds: This guy had the bright idea of buying an iPhone 3G because he saw somewhere that "really soon" there will be an update of the firmware to enable support of the Greek character set, and we've been waiting for three months now...

I am warming up to the iPhone, but no Greek means no purchase for me Happy

If Microsoft designed the iPod Box

This is an oldie, but a goodie.
What would Microsoft do if they were in charge of designing the iPod packaging?



Of course, we can see from their Zune boxing that they have gotten rid of some of the extraneous information Happy

Now if only they got rid of all those crazy versions of Windows Vista and just sold the 'ultimate' version as the standard version...

Previously on 24....

I came across this one on engadget this morning. It's pretty funny (if you remember what technology was like in 1994 anyways)

Boo Hoo for you!

Japanese smartphones are making fun of our 'western' smartphones Winking
I must say, it is quite funny, but what happens when your phone runs out of battery and you are locked out of your house, have no money to buy a train ticket to go to a relative's house where you might be able to charge your phone so you can get into your own house? I guess it would be 'boo hoo for you' too then Winking

Foamy Tech Support (part I)

I love this tech support bit:

No raise for you!

I often find corporate punishments humorous!
Take Raytheon CEO Bill Swanson for example - wrote a book(let) of lessons learned while he is in the driver's seat, but he took some (or a lot) of material from a 1944 book called "The unwritten laws of Engineering" and he did not give credit where credit was due.

Since this was a freely distributed booklet among Raytheon, and no profit was made, big deal! right?
Well, wrong. This seems to be huge, considering that plagiarism lawsuits andplagiarism allegations (see New York Times, davinci code, etc) have surfaced in the last few years in the american media, people SHOULD pay close attention to what they write and properly cite things if they borrowed from other sources, right? right!

So what is this guy's punishment for tarnishing the image of Raytheon?
No raise this year, and limit on his stock options.
What a fantastic punishment don't you think?
This guy already makes a six figure income, if he doesn't get a raise this year...BIG WHOOP!

How about slashing his salary in half? now that would be hilarious Happy
