To follow-up yesterdays anti-Microsoft tirade, today I traded in my dusty, old unmodded Xbox for an Xbox 360 Elite. This is teh 1337 new Xbox 360 that features the “massive” 120GB Hard Drive, HDMI port, and “premium black finish.” Yes, black is premium now. And here I thought it meant impure and unclean. My bad.

I bought the Elite mainly to be a Windows Media Extendor, and for its HD DVD playback. So I purchased the HD DVD Player. And since it’s being billed as the “ultimate in gaming,” I figured I better pickup a few games. So I grabbed Burnout Revenge, F.E.A.R., Gears of War, and Need for Speed: Most Wanted. I also bought an additional Wireless Controller with two Play & Charge Kits.

I may have gone a little overboard, but at least I’m not one of the suckers bidding $800 or $900 for this thing on eBay. I had a pre-order through Circuit City, but I canceled it when I heard GameStop was taking old Xboxes as trade-ins. And let me tell ya, they had plenty in stock. It almost makes me feel bad for the idiots that were buying peoples pre-orders on eBay. But it doesn’t.

Anyway, I may not be a leet gamer, but my console is … so I want to test this fucker out. I lost my old Xbox LIVE Gamertag, but if you have any of the above mentioned games, look me up. My new Gamertag is: bOWb.

People love to bash Microsoft, but when it comes down to it, Windows is what we all use. Why? Because it just works. It’s stable, secure, and runs on practically any hardware. If Linux was so great, more people (other than the troll living in my basement) would use it.

It’s true (for now) that Lunix and OS-eX are less susceptible to viruses and spyware. But that’s because nobody cares about these Operating Systems.

Linux and OS X are not secure … they’re obscure.

Microsoft has already sold more copies of Windows Vista, than there are Mac and Linux users – combined. And some really smart guy says that Vista’s code is more secure than Mac’s.

But don’t get me wrong, Apple products are great if you like overpaying for hardware that has pictures of fruit all over it. But hey, if you want to waste money on a computer that doesn’t even right-click, be my guest. At least you can run Windows Vista on it. I mean you need something to play video games on, and Vista’s built for games; how about OS X?

Vista will even run faster on a Macbook Pro than OS X.

People love to tout Macs as being superior multimedia machines, yet Adobe Audition is only available for Windows, and benchmarks have proven that Windows runs Adobe Photoshop faster.

But don’t take my links for it, look it up for yourselves bitches.

Anyway, why use a piece of … fruity hardware that you can’t even game on (let alone right-click), or a shotty open-sores Windows clone like the Linus OS, when you can pay just a few bucks for the real deal?

Besides, if you use Windows Vista your ePenis will grow tenfold.

Jack Valenti, the former president of the MPAA, a lobbiest for the DMCA, and a proponent of DRM died today at the age of 85.

Rest In Piss douche bag … you will not be missed.

If you don’t fully understand the negative impact this asshole had on society, you need to watch This Film Is Not Yet Rated.

“If you want to have a backup of a movie you should go out and purchase another copy of that movie.” “The VCR is akin to the Boston Strangler.” – Jack Valenti
