Giveaway Time: Want to Win Two Computers?

Hi! I just subscribed to your RSS feed!!

My favorite computer application right now is Google Chrome, because it's super fast. I like my applications to be snappy.

I would improve the new Yahoo email so I can open the inbox to see the list of emails without having to click on the "inbox (15)" thing. The old version would open up to show the emails in the inbox.

I subscribed


how cool would a computer that can take commands from you be?

unless it's already invented?

I've just subscribed to your RSS feed!

To answer question #3...I love Google Chrome to death, but my Windows computer is old and slow, so to improve it, I'd release the Mac version that's been in development for what seems like 2 years so I could use it on my Mac at school!

I use an ad blocker program to squelch some of the unwanted video ads that invariably slow down surf time and suck up bandwidth. (I almost said "precious" bandwidth... how geeky is that?? Cue Gollum: "My preciousssssssssssss....") Where was I? Oh yes. This ad blocker program only does about one tenth what I would like for it to do. I envision a program that gets quickly to the core of page elements and allows me to choose which features to view or block.

For your number 4... hmmm... see my previous comment. A program/application that would allow me to control what I see on a webpage would be ideal. I don't mean that I want to manipulate the web designer's creation, merely be able to suppress certain features - like video ads. Nothing worse than waiting for what seems like forever for a page to load, only to discover that the hold-up was due to a multimedia advertisement that insisted on fully loading before allowing website interaction. Yeah, I realize that what I envision would be the equivalent of skipping commercials. So sue me. I am bombarded enough already with repetitious ads. I don't mind the static ones so much, really (really). It's the animated/video ones that drive me nuts and make me lose all patience with a site.

2) Following you and tweeted.

3) The applicatin that I mostly use is Visual Studio,currently it's too slow and takes lot of time to work out with it and is difficult to understand,I would love to have it more stable and more user friendly.

4)The perfect computer is one which is able to run all the applications,smoothly and without any problems

5) This is one of the SMS that my friend sent to me,it's really funny-

Roses are red, violets are blue,

Monkeys like u should b kept in da zoo!!

Don’t get angry , U’ll find me there too!

Not in the cage but laughing at u.

My perfect computer would have excellent legacy support to still play classic games and use older applications. No worrying about video codec support, much more native support and the easy ability to go online and download when necessary. Automatic driver downloads when plugging in new/old peripherals and updating the same way. Across the board compatibility for file formats of all common and popular types with a good backup and sync system included. Less reliance on the whole reinstall entire operating system method of deep hard driving cleaning too. And of the course a modular hardware framework being easy to upgrade damaged or obsolete components. Highly improbable but it would be my perfect computer.

1) SUBSCRIBED!


4) My perfect computer would allow to me get whatever ingredients i want just by using google images, and make a meal out of it. The computer acts as the hard drive for this giant machine that I will create in 72 years .. I might change my mind on the 71st year though, so uhh yeah. haha



5)A man walks into a bar and notices his friend sitting alone staring at a tiny man on the table playing the piano.

"Wow, look how small he is, where did you get him?!" Says the man.

"Oh, well there's this genie round the back of bar, and he grants you whatever wish you want."

Sure enough, the man goes round the back of the bar and there sits a genie.

"You grant wishes right?"

"Yes." replies the genie.

"Hmm, I'd like a million bucks."

Then, out of nowhere, a million ducks appear, and waddle behind the annoyed man as he goes back into the bar.

"Look, that genie gave me ducks instead of bucks!"

His friends sitting at the table replies,

"Well yeah, do you really think I asked for a twelve inch pianist?"

2. I tweeted you and I'm currently stalking, I mean, following you.

3. “What would you improve about a computer or Web application that you currently use?” Answer: I would magically improve the hard disk drive to over 9000 terabytes :P, add a bunch of RAM (10 GB), have a cool Dual Processor, and make the computer run much faster, stop Mozilla Firefox from crashing (my computer makes it crash) and let it read certain things that IE can only do, etc.

4. My computer is shit so it's not perfect. My favorite web application is Mozilla Firefox. It moves much faster than IE. It can also download multiple things at a time, unlike IE. It's just , a lot more convenient and easily laid out. The best web application I've used so far.

5. Here's my own, original joke. Question: What would you say to a sexy-ass rabbi that turned you on? Answer: I wanna fuck jew hard....

To answer number three: I'd like to see a function in Firefox similar to StumbleUpon, except that instead of me actively needing to remember to rate pages aye or nay, I'd like to see it match my interests based on URLs I type in and links I click, finding the connecting keywords and weighing their frequency of occurrence across pages to make pertinent recommendations.


And number five? This is, personally, my favorite joke of all time, but it's real hit-or-miss. Q: What is the saddest tree in the world? A: The American Sugar-Maple.



Fingers crossed that I win, because my house got broken into and I really need a replacement computer.

Stop me if you've heard this one......


A student reported for a final examination that consisted of only true/false questions. The student took a seat in the hall, stared at the test for five minutes, removed a coin from his pocket and started tossing the coin and marking the answer sheet. Heads meant true, tails meant false.



The student finished the exam in 30 minutes, while the rest of the class was sweating it out. Suddenly, during the last few minutes, the student began desperately throwing the coin and sweating profusely. The monitor, alarmed, approached the student and asked what was going on.



“Well, I finished the exam in half an hour,” said the student, “but I thought I ought to recheck my answers.”

3) The program I use most often is notfreds diskless folding appliance. I wish it used less ram than it does.

4) My perfect computer would do everything I need it to and use a minimum of power while doing it.



5)Towards the end of the golf course, Tom hit his ball into the woods and found it in a patch of pretty yellow buttercups. Trying to get his ball back in play, he ended up thrashing just about every buttercup in the patch. All of a sudden . . . POOF!!



In a flash and puff of smoke, a little old woman appeared. She said, "I'm Mother Nature!"

"Do you know how long it took me to make those buttercups?"



"Just for doing what you have done, you won't have any butter for your popcorn for the rest of your life; better still, you won't have any butter for your toast for the rest of your life ... As a matter of fact, you'll never have any butter for anything the rest of your life!!!"



Then POOF! . . . she was gone!



After Tom recovered from the shock, he hollered for his friend, "Fred, where are you?"

Fred yells back, "I'm over here in the pussy willows."





Tom shouts back, 'DON'T SWING, Fred; FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON'T SWING!

Classroom incident
One day the first grade teacher was reading the story of the Three Little Pigs to her class. She came to the part of the story where the first pig was trying to accumulate the building materials for his home. She read, "...and so the pig went up to the man with the wheel barrow full of straw and said, "Pardon me sir, but may I have some of that straw to build my house?" The teacher paused then asked the class, "And what do you think that man said?" One little boy raised his hand and said, "He probably said 'Holy Shit! A talking pig!'"



The teacher was unable to teach for the next 10 minutes.

Hi, just suscribed to RSS feed.

1. I'd like to have more chances to win this contest, so your powerful persuasive skills have worked! I've subscribed to your feed.


2. [See twitter.]



3. I use Google Reader often, and if I could magically learn how to program and then make Google hire me, I'd make sure that they add real-time support. They're already pushing my shared items quickly to friendfeed with pubsubhubub, but my feeds arrive quite slowly to Google Reader and I usually have to go to twitter or friendfeed to know what's happening NOW. Another thing I've been wishing for is the ability to rename tags. At the moment, it is so much work to switch tags that I doubt anyone does it. I'd also would like to see a link to the "liked" items available for my friends or the public. (They would have to give each user the option to show it only to friends or the public.)



4. My perfect web application would look like an improved version of friendfeed. It would have many privacy control options that would allow me to easily select what I want to share with different groups of people. That way I could keep all my deep dark secrets available only to the most loyal of my minions. Friendfeed already allows me to do this at some extent, but I'm limited to making all my feeds private or public, with little options in between. In order to add more perfection to this app, full customization options would be important. I'd like to be able to customize the look of my site in its entirety. (Think wordpress or tumblr.) Is that enough? Of course not. I should also be able to use my own domain. And no, I'm still not happy. I also want it to have an integrated RSS reader (like Google Reader) or maybe just a Gmail-like view of my friends' feeds. Last but not least, if this app wants to effectively suck the life out of me, it would need to have integrated chat. Yes, like Gmail, but with even more privacy options, so I can decide which groups of people are allowed to see when I'm online. Facebook chat has something like this in effect, but it lacks functionality when compared to the beautiful Gmail-gtalk integration. But what's most important is that it would have to be open source so I could practice my paranoid skills and run it 0n my own server.



5. A mystery unfolded the last time I went to Starbucks with an expired coupon on my hand. I don't usually go to Starbucks or any cafes, but when you have a coupon for a free something (whatever somethings they sell in Starbucks), then it suddenly becomes clear that those places are great. Unfortunately, I arrived 10 minutes too late and although the first barista didn't notice it, the other baristas soon surrounded him. They all started speaking the strange language of denial to each other until they finally turned to me to give me their verdict, "This coupon has expired" and that's when the mystery unfolded: They were all smiling strangely at me. Do expired coupons tend to have this effect on people? No, they don't! They were obviously lycanthropes so I left immediately. Everyone else had to fetch for themselves. No incidents have been reported so far, so I'm guessing there were no survivors. -- That's why I didn't have coffee on Tuesday. Damn lycanthropes.

i accidentally subscribed to the rss feed twice, but i took one off i thought the first one didnt work but it just took some time to show up.


hopefully you like this joke:



Bill Clinton, Al Gore, and Bill Gates all died in a plane crash and went to meet their maker. The supreme deity turned to Al and asked, tell what is important about yourself.



Al responded that he felt that the earth was the ultimate importance and that protecting the earth's ecological system was most important.



God looked to Al and said, " I like the way you think, come and sit at my left hand". God then asked Bill Clinton what he revered most.



Bill Clinton responded that he felt people and their personal choices were most important.



God responded, " I like the way you think, come and sit at my right hand". God then turned to Bill Gates, who was staring at him indignantly.



God asked "What is your problem Bill Gates?"



Bill responded " I think you are sitting in my chair".

I would try to fix Adobe Acrobat...it really can't use _that_ many resources and hung everytime you open a file or scroll too fast. Besides, I would improve the price tag! (at least some student discount, or whatever)
That's why alternatives rule PDF, even though almost everyone keeps on using Acrobat.

My perfect computer should both handle everything I can throw at it (or at least a hefty bunch of stuff) and be light enough to let me carry it around while commuting or travelling on the road. But since you can't have everything in one system, you can get the dv6 and the Hp mini to get close enough.
My perfect webapplication allows me to upload info from webpages, larger files to have an "online USB stick" and clip notes, videos & images from anywhere...ohh, Evernote's out there already, never mind.

1.) I've subscribed to your feed!


3.) An application I would improve would be Mozilla Firefox. It currently has some of the worst memory management issues and I would hope it gets fixed very soon. Some more improvements to see would be a more polished user interface and cloud synchronization of bookmarks. Other ides would be to a have an extension debugger to pinpoint bad extensions causing memory leaks.



4.) My perfect computer can withstand all the heavy duty work that I do. It is fast and very responsive and doesn't lack too much even after having a very long uptime. My perfect computer would have a great build quality and enough ram and processing speed to handle multiple heavy applications for me.

I use gmail, google reader, facebook and twitter. Currently, I have to check all four of them independently. What I'd like is ONE continuous newsfeed that allows me to check all of them and interact with all of them (and all the other 2.0 sites). Friendfeed doesn't quite do it. Digsby doesn't quite do it. Nothing quite does it. I want just one stream that collects all the data and news and mail that I'm interested in.

My perfect web app allows for all my content to come through in one stream (as indicated in my other comment). My perfect computer is portable, light, touchscreen, wireless internet, and capable of plugging USB and Firewire into it. Almost the Apple Tablet, but more robust and useful and more like a computer than an ipod.

And here's one of my favorite jokes.




Do you know what a milli-helen is?



It's the amount of beauty required to launch ONE ship.

3/ “What would you improve about a computer or Web application that you currently use?”


I would definitely improve iTunes as a better media player, its tagging feature is mediocre at best, as well as its support for FLAC files. a lil bit love for global hotkeys would be very useful too.

oh if Apple still wants to make iTunes their central portal, might as well rename it iStores, or else what we're having here is a seriously bloated media player

Suscribed to RSS feed.

4/“What does your perfect computer or Web application do?”


my perfect webapp would be a complete alternative to the Office suite. right now Google Docs and Zoho still lack so much compared to MS Office's features, especailly the presentation app. also, such a cloud office app would also work offline, in case I find myself lacking a connection, and online with minium downtime

A little boy watched, fascinated, as his mother covered her face in cold cream. "Why do you do that?" he asked.


"To make myself beautiful."



When she began to rub it off, the boy asked, "Why are you doing that? Did you give up?"

1) New RSS subscriber here!


3) Question is ambiguous - do you mean "{computer} or {web application}", or "{computer or web} application" (i.e. "computer application or web application"). To be safe I'll go with a web application, since that's allowed by all interpretations :o) I guess one thing I'd really like to see is better third-party client support for Facebook (particularly Facebook Chat) - AIUI at the moment Digsby has got an exclusive agreement to access Facebook Chat, so other clients (including the one to which I have a strong brand loyalty) have to reverse-engineer the protocol. Not terribly satisfactory. (In an IM application, I expect IM features to be there, not just "reading my news feed" features, when integrating with a site that offers IM.)



4) My perfect web application is one that isn't just confined to a browser. GMail manages this by offering both POP and IMAP access - a powerful browser-based web app when I'm away from my desk, but integrated into my desktop experience when I'm at my main computer. Facebook sorta-manages it with its semi-integration into some multiprotocol messaging clients. Most web forums at the moment don't manage it at all.



5) Musical joke: What's the difference between a bull and an orchestra? A bull has the horns at the front and the arsehole at the back!

Hey I just subscribed to RSS feed :) and followed and tweeted :) I'm using Google Chrome a lot currently and I'd really like for it to have a more attractive design, fancier maybe :)

Two cannibals eating a clown. One says 'does this taste funny to you?'

1) done
2) done, doofusface

3) my fav app would automatically correct my speeling miztakes and make toast

4) don't have a perfect one but I do like the ff add-on that splits the screen

5)These are actual sentences taken from letters received by a large city's

Welfare Department in applications for support:

1. I am forwarding my marriage certificate and six children. I have seven, but one died which was baptized on a half sheet of paper.

2. I am writing the Welfare Department to say that my baby was born two years old. When do I get my money?

3. You have changed my little boy to a girl. Will this make a difference?

4. I cannot get sick pay. I have six children. Can you tell me why?

5. I am glad to report that my husband who is missing is dead.

6. This is my eighth child. What are you going to do about it?

7. Please find for certain if my husband is dead. The man I am now living with can't eat or do anything till he knows.

8. I am very much annoyed to find you have branded my son illiterate. This is a dirty lie as I was married a week before he was born.

9. In answer to your letter, I have given birth to a boy weighing ten pounds. I hope this is satisfactory.

10. I am forwarding my marriage certificate and three children one of which is a mistake as you can see.

11. Unless I get my husband's money pretty soon, I will be forced to live an immortal life.

12. In accordance with your instructions I have given birth to twins in the enclosed envelope.

3. I want to upgrade to Windows 7 when it's released to better utilize my computer's hardware.

1) I'm now following you on GoogleReader (along with Esquire and GQ magazine lol)!


2) Twitter is confusing but I think I tweeted* your correctly. *Epic fail at Twitter use.



3) I've been using Stumble Upon for a while and as good as their filter system is on user-related content I wish they could have more specific tags i.e. my topic is Surfing, it narrows it on learn to surf, surf shops. A more narrow search without having to search would be amazing. Sure it's like a search engine, but sometimes research takes to long to have to click every single link on Google to find the kind of thing you're looking for. I'm not too computer intelligent, but I love finding media content on the net so that would help me quite alot.



4) Quite frankly there isn't alot of originality in computer or web applications. All that has been thought of, has been done. It's just who does it best and who becomes popular first at doing it. I would like to see a computer application, a single application, that is able to sync all web services and computer applications. I hate having to check through my email, twitter, facebook, myspace, pandora, imeem, rss feeds, etc. when I could be finding all my content on one screen. iGoogle has the idea, but it's sort of narrow where it hasn't taken the initiative to involve popular programs and website utilities across the technological spectrum (computers-media phones).



5) NSFW: What's the difference between a 2 cent hooker and a pricey female escort? One can suck the bread off a corndog and the other can suck a golfball out of a gardenhose with a little black dress on. *BADUMCHA!

Joke #1


A philosophy teacher challenging a student of her faith in God....



Teacher: To see is to believe. Have you seen God?



Student: No sir, I haven't.



Teacher: Then, there is no God.



Student: Sir, may I ask a question?...Have you seen your brain?



Teacher: No.



Student: My dear classmates! Let's go home! Sir has no brain.

"There is no distant booger for a long, sharp fingernail."



Hope it touches your life today...very very inspirational. <LOL>

OK, here's a clean joke:-


Two college students, Frank and Matt, are riding on a New York City subway when a beggar approaches them asking for spare change.



Frank adamantly rejects the man in disgust.



Matt, on the other hand, whips out his wallet, pulls out a couples of dollar bills and gladly hands them over to the beggar with a smile.



The beggar thanks him kindly and then continues on to the other passengers. Frank is outraged by his friend's act of generosity.



"What on earth did you do that for?" shouts Frank. "You know he's only going to use it on drugs or booze!!!"



Matt replies, "What...and we weren't?"

#3 One thing i would improve about my macbook is to make it lighter!! holy! its heavy for a 13 inch laptop!! Also i would improve some of the applications on the macbook as many of them aren't compatible with some of the PC applications that I used to use.

#4 my perfect laptop would be compatible with all programs especially with media applications and files. And that it has unlimited storage space for all my movies, music and files! I don't ask a lot from my laptop.
