Sohmer, the writer and creator behind Least I Could Do webcomic, ran into his local Apple Store looking for accessories for his MacBook Air and it developed into an article about customer service.  Most of the comments that follow, I don't have a problem with except for this one where a manager goes on about how he encourages his own employees to provide the best customer service that they can.  My problem with that is I wonder how much credit that manager give his employees.  I know for experience that little benefit gets down to the employee who goes out of his or her way to provide that wonderful customer support as usually the levels above that manager is told folks back or the manager is trying to keep his own butt covered by reducing costs.

My response is here and, yes, when I worked for Kinko's, they had their local pot dealer on speed dial.  It was pretty sad.

Picture from here.
A long long time ago in a blog far far away, I blogged about the Mac vs PC commercials done in South Park style.  Here's a follow up throwing Linux into the mix.

Looking back at January

trophy.gifBreakfast was cool.  Had eggs, bacon, and biscuits.  I think I was the only non-church person there so i had to introduce myself a number of times but I didn't mind.  I walk by the church twice every day when I head over to UNCC.  Didn't get any pictures as my batteries died with the other breakfast this morning under the bridge.

I finally got a chance to look over the most read posts for January.  I probably should do some sort of Top Post widget in the sidebar. (edit: Done now.)

Even Osama Bin Laden complains about Apple's $100 credit that 's getting for his iPhone.

From zanzibar19.com


An iPhone user takes a trip to England and gets a pretty big surprise when he gets back.

That's what you get when you do all that roaming.

Oh, sure. The iPhone is God's gift to nerds who lack basic manners and they're buying them by the ton. Folks are having issues though with the phone. Sure, the price drop didn't make many people happy even though they're getting that $100 credit back. I personally would rather have the cash but I guess at least something back is better than nothing.

But there's a down side. Folks are getting their first bills. Large bills. Not in money but in paperwork. Take a look at this video as she explains her bill.

A parody of the Mac vs. PC commercials with South Park characters. Created as the final project for a multimedia production class at California State University Northridge (CSUN).

There's an error in the credits: South Park studio is at http://www.sp-studio.de .

Well, I thought it was funny. A parody of the current PC vs. Mac commericals.

Bloggers and online journalists have completed their final victory lap in a protracted fight against Apple. Earlier this month, a Santa Clara County Court ordered Apple to pay the legal fees associated with the defense of subpoenas issued to online journalists (and other related entities) in response to online reports about a confidential audio/video product -- code-named "Asteroid" -- under development at the Cupertino-based company. The "Asteroid" product was never released, but Apple claimed the news reports violated California state trade secret law and that the journalists were not entitled to First Amendment protections. However, following an appeals decision last year that strongly sided with the journalists, the Court ordered Apple to pay all legal costs associated with the defense, including a 2.2 times multiplier of the actual fees.

Greets:

This blog is a catch all for all sorts of things. My interests range all over the place. They include my work in the WordPress.com support forums, my Kim Possible webcomic, my current Kim Possible fanfiction, my past Daria fanfiction and shorts. You'll also find videos from YouTube, Star Frontiers stuff, stuff I pull from over at deviantArt and FanFiction.net, the occasional Desktop for your computer and the occasional news article of interest. If you care to chat, I have set up forums over here.

Projects and other interests include:
