Did you bother to test this?

My feedback to Apple regarding Mail.app in Lion:

Seriously, wtf? How could you not notice:

1. Emails I delete from the inbox come back after a few minutes. I’ve deleted the same messages 4 or 5 times now from my inbox. I guess you figured my delete key doesn’t get enough use already?

2. Still haven’t fixed the Snow Leopard/Exchange issue where Mail.app stops downloading emails after some random period of time requiring me to restart Mail.app. The good news is I can really tell my boss I didn’t see that important email! Thank you for being my excuse!

3. Can’t quit Mail.app. Yes, it just hangs every time. Have to Force Kill it. This …

Benjamin Franklin and the War on Terrorism

Posted by on November 22, 2010 at 11:18 pm in Politics, Security Theater.

I’ve been reading Walter Isaacson’s excellent biography of Benjamin Franklin lately and just came across a letter Franklin wrote to his English friend Joseph Priestly in late 1775:

Britain, at the expense of three millions, has killed 150 Yankees this campaign, which is 20,000 pounds a head… During the same time, 60,000 children have been born in America. From these data his mathematical head will easily calculate the time and expense necessary to kill us all.

Dear Google Recruiter

Posted by on October 9, 2010 at 9:04 am in Rant.

Dear Google Recruiter,

I’ve been contacted by a recruiter at Google every 3-6 months for the last 4+ years or so and I’ll tell you what I tell all of them:

I have no interest in interviewing with Google ever again. I expect to be treated professionally by companies and for them to be honest with me in their communication, but that did not happen when I went through your interview/hiring process. This is not negotiable and you only get one chance.

I also tell every recruiter at Google to please put a note in your HR database to not contact me any more. Obviously that never happens or doesn’t work, because you still contact me. Honestly, I’m not sure …

@MatMladin OMFG. Why does DMG hate the racers so much? Even NASCAR wouldn’t run and they have cages. Just total f**king insanity.

Hard call: Ducks/RedWings or MotoGP?? Wife wants hockey so I guess the racing will have to wait. Now the harder question: who to root for?
