windows fucks up seattles new years eve



Windows fucks up New Year's Eve fireworks. In Seattle. Perfect.

See here. The dudes running the big fireworks show in Seattle had set

up a computer to run the display and keep it timed with the music. But

somehow the poor dumb piece of shit PC got messed up or crashed or

needed to be rebooted or something and the whole show got ruined. Yup.

In Seattle. Our spies say Ballmer was at the show and people around

him started laughing and pointing at him and doing the monkey dance

and chanting, "Vista sucks! Vista sucks!" Afterward Ballmer went back

to the Borg campus and trashed an entire set of office furniture,

although Frank Shaw of Waggener Edstrom says that this absolutely did

not happen. Go Steve!

The show looked way better when it was manually released after

they escaped Windows repression. The fireworks show became very

organic and flowing. And driven by some desperate passion I

imagine.

Of course... if you read the article carefully, it never says

that the machine was actually running Windows. It only mentions

speculation from commenters on the TV channel's blog.

Given that blog comments are not serving as true facts, I'm

going to go ahead and say that the firework system was in fact

running on an Apple II. If it's in a comment it must be true!

Windows allows programs to crash; Mac does not allow crashes of

any kind. Programs on Macs cannot screw up. It does not happen.

http://www.macfixit.com/ is a fake site, run by Micro$oft to

disparage Apple.
