This WTF goes out to all the snobbish customers in the world (or at least America). When somebody is using a cheaper rental computer, it is rude to ask them to switch with you because you’re going to be there longer. Period. It doesn’t matter if they’re paying for it or not, work there or not, or have five hands growing out of their waist or not. It is rude and selfish to ask someone to do something that benefits you just because it will benefit you. If there is a reason other than “it helps me,” ask away. If there isn’t, then either wait your turn or take another computer, even if it winds up being 10 cents more per minute. If you’re really going to spend another ten hours on those computers (at $120 a pop), you might want to consider (amazing here) buying a laptop. Has consumer America really become that selfish that it now lacks knowledge of simple etiquette. And no, saying “thank you” afterward doesn’t make it better.

As Amarok 2 gets closer to a release, it is looking better and better. There’s a new feature in the works that will give Pandora a good fight: music biases.

Today, two great things (according to me, at least) have been released: Firefox 3 and Wine 1.0. Nearly everybody should know what Firefox is, however many probably don’t know about Wine. It is an Open Source project that works as an abstraction layer so Linux (and other POSIX) users can run Windows programs (such as Photoshop) on Linux without needing to have Windows installed.
