So in order to help beat “The Barracuda” and her crypt-keeper running mate, I went to donate to the Barack Obama campaign. …Guess what I got, instead? PHP ERRORS, YAY!
If only he’d had Al Gore write the site. I mean, he helped invent the internet!
Seriously, Senator Obama, I’ll come help you. Though I want my $15 back.
So after watching the Jon Stewart “republican pundit doublethink” bit, and after hearing that the Fox News team are referring–un-ironically–to Palin as a media “star”, I’ve figured it out; and it’s shocking.
The Republicans can only be The Jedi.
Karl Rove comes on TV and waves his hands and says ’20 months is plenty experience’ and across this great nation, a hundred and seventy million people mumble along: ’20 months is plenty’. My god… if he said “you will take me to Jabba now”, I guarantee that we’d build intergalactic time machines to find a galaxy long, long ago and far, far away and take him to Jabba now. Fuckin’ Jedi, man. The spiritual guardians of the Old Republic. …ans. Old Republicans. …Ahem.
Anyway… I mean… it’s either that or the narrow majority of Americans are morons.
…Okay, so you want me to explain myself….
First off: yes yes, I know, based on WebKit, so it lacks that Mozilla Power, and; it’s yet another Google Permanent Beta! program, and; Chrome’s EULA says that they can use the things you browse in ads, and send you ads, and; IE8 had all that months ago, and; it’s only for “Winblow$”.
And I don’t care.
The tabs-at-the-top idea is brilliant and obvious (you see what I did there? how I implied I was brilliant?). The multiple processes-per-tab is brilliant. The Javascript performance is breathtaking (and yes, I’m that kind of nerd, who faints at javascript). The home page is awesome. The speed is fantastic. It’s everything Safari could be if Apple weren’t run by a guy who thought brushed metal was a great idea.
I love it. And yes, I’m going to marry it.
Addendum: Note well the menu-option “Create Application Shortcuts…”. This is the hammer that rings the bell that sounds Microsoft’s doom. And that bell, forged in the NeXT Cube of CERN, is the dark canvas Steve Jobs uses to write this dark prophecy.
…really, I could go on. Heck, I could link “doom” to one of the canvas-based 3d shooters. …I think what I’m saying here is that Steve Jobs has had it in for Gates for a longer time than any of us thought.
