It's a Brave New World

... and I'm not talking the Aldous Huxley kind of brave new world. I'm talking the kind where  computers, cell phones, transportable media players and other electronic gadgetry is a pivotal part of everyones life ... along with all those manuals, chargers and cables of course. Setting up your TV is no longer a matter of plugging in 2 cables and hooking it up to  a power outlet. Nope. These days setting up a HD tv requires nothing short of a ph.d in electro-mechanics (with a minor in arts to get the right color scheme).
Squeezebox no longer means, what you think it means, now it refers to a whole new kind of entertainment unit.

What this means - besides a rise in domestic disturbances due to angry dads rampaging living rooms in frustration over taiwanese manuals they can't understand - is that we should soon see a new kind of bully in the school yard. Gone are the days of the jock, who'll beat any oppositon to a bloody pulp or make the scrawney kids eat ladybugs. Enter the geek, who'll keep his peers knee deep in mp3s, games and free porn. Instead of beating anyone up, he'll send them a warning in the guise of a nice email bomb or a ddos attack on you fave web 2.0 application, and if he really wants to get even he'll get a keylogger and/or trojan on to your computer and suck your trustfund dry.

No more "Back down assclown, or I'll fuck you up so bad, you own mom won't recognize you".
Enter "Go home and learn to write your own drivers, you pansy" or "Shaddap you good-fer-nuthin' 404 head"

... Now gimme some positive feedback on this entry, or I'll post all those enbarrasing photos on your D: drive in the NSFW forum
