I have just registered a Pay As You Go Orange UK sim only to find that it cost 20p a minute to call customer services using the sim. You can call 07973100450 from any phone which is at mobile rates.  So effectively Orange make money out of any one phoning them whether it be to give praise (ha!) or complain, or just to find out why things that were meant to happen have not.

What a load of shit. It should be illegal to do that. No one would accept having to pay to talk to the manager of a store in person so why is it ok to charge people to access the only route of communication with a company or service provider? It’s not.

But there is a way around this - simply phone 08000790006 for free from a land line. This is the new sim registration number which is of course free to entice people to register ["it's so easy and free too!" {unlike the actual service...}] and who ever you get to talk to can connect you internally.

If I have to give my money to a bunch of horrible twats I’ll at least give them as little as possible.

While looking through the Apple site I came across this page: Airport Extreme 802.11n Enabler for Mac

I think it is totally shit of Apple to charge people $1.99 to ‘enable’ a function that already exists on their computer (and to release it free with a purchase of a Airport Extreme router thus locking you in to using Apple products even more). 802.11n support was left out on the release of computers with 802.11n compatible cards and now it makes me think this was done on purpose knowing that it would be the next wireless protocol and if left out it could be added as a pay for upgrade. That’s not cool. What next? Laptops that ship with out the screen working so you have pay a fee to see any thing? Or maybe you’ll have to pay every time you turn your computer on?

Apple - sort your fucking life out, make products that work and are productive and don’t be cunts by milking every last penny. You don’t need it and people need computers that work. It’s not that much to ask..

I found this video a while ago called “What What (In the Butt)” by Samwell. I laughed a good deal:

It has just been ripped off for the new South Park:

It’s funny and all, it’d just be a lot better if the humour was original and not just a carbon copy of something that exists already. What was Stans line (refering to Family Guy) in the cartoon wars episode? Something like “Have you ever noticed how none of the jokes derive from the plot? I think that’s totally gay”.
