annoyance

The next time Steve buys a pair of New Balances, I hope his old socks don't work with them.

guy kawasaki doesn't like that he has to buy new power supplies for his macbook air either...

i'm so over iTunes

3.2 ghz core 2 duo
4 gb pc2-6400 ram
10,000 rpm sata hard drive

so why is iTunes still so incredibly slow?

Unlike most student councils, the Student Advisory Council (SAC), a branch of BYUSA, does not operate like a legislative body...

Members of the council serve the BYU community by actively taking students’ opinions to the administration, allowing administrators to make decisions according to the needs of students.

so basically, byusa/SAC 'actively' tells byu administration what i think to help them make decisions... unlike other universities where the student body president is actually on the college board and has authority to do things a bit more 'active' than just talking. this quote is from an old newsnet article where they list off most of byusa's flaws, but pretend that they are really benefits.

worthless security measures

my bank has the worst security for their online banking. honest.

for years, the only security feature (if you can call it a feature) was the password: seven letters or less, alpha-numeric. you couldn't even use punctuation symbols.

i guess there was one other security feature: if you messed up your password three times, it would lock your account. once locked, an account had to be reset by calling the bank during business hours and talking to a teller...

at some point the bank decided that this security was insufficient. but instead of improving their existing security (i.e. by letting me use a password of sufficient length), they decided to supplement it.

minor irritation

don't make me tell your mom.
