1. Comment - Microsoft Explains Windows Vista Name

   (Jul 24, 2005 - 3:42 AM)

   Aminochaos is (as usual) absolutely correct and absolutely paranoid. Every thing Windows is increasingly cornered into commercial glut.
   
   Pity Bill Gates, americas richest carpet bagger, trying to stir up interest in a saturated market. His only recourse is to hype market gizmos that will corner sales. Every users identity is already a known commodity. The next step is to market push only what sells and excitres selling the most. Each terminal's connect background fitted to a unique and increasingly monotonous but fever piched lust to consume.
   
   This is very very much like television. IQ's of TV addicts plummet. As expected [Bandura et al] effectively defining their view of reality is "dirt easy" [Rumsfeld]. The polity and the economy coallesce in admiration of the new market;s simplicitry. Add to this that momentarily the computer has afforded a creative approach to electronic interaction.
   Momentarily the computer literate have checked their intellectual decline. Say goodbye to that creeativity.
   
   TV used to be a brain tonic for those that could afford it. Now that computers are headed for the commercial scrap heap, what will polarize the quest of the human intellect for unfettered creativity? Or is the end of a very brilliant and decades long luminosity finally pushing us back into that medieval darkness so desired by those with big pocket wads today? How eager they are to kill their competition, trahing the individuality that defines freedom and democratic society. As long as they are at the top of their scrap heap.
   
   They are truly at the top of their scrap heap. Longhorn was a strategic platitude for the mad bomber. "Vista", the name ripped off from just down the road in Redmond, is sure to make every plastic shopping card a subset of one man's personal vista. Like it or not, in a few years computers not force-feeding tailored consumerism will fall silent.
   
   Some good things to think about will help Aminchaos get over fear of omnipotent change. First, as IQ scores descend, it will be easier for Americans to utter monosyllabic acknowedgements of each other and the universe. Making us all relax knowing that we must all be on the same wave length, making individuality and freedom a very real threat to the controlled matrix of the Vista. Second, women can at last feel like their intense urge to shop appropriately has been satisfied. Third, while 99.9% of the economy slumps into greater recession, organizations like Microsoft will dwindle in number, making it a whole lot easier for Americans to locate and worship market leaders. Fourth, a knowledge hungry third world will easily swallow our developing electronic tunnel vision, ensuring the harmony of a continueing slave labor force to provide the things that really count, like food and clothes and electronic parts. Fifth, the more our politicians are pizzazed by electronic signals the greater will be the electronic presence in our classrooms. No matter that their IQ's are shrinking. Our children will nerver find a way out of this tunnel, ensuring that in hundreds of years, when a technological nourishing agent might possibly emerge, the finally freed human intellect will enjoy the Mother of All Cerebvral Orgasms.
   
   Anyway. Google your world and it all makes sense. Everyone wants a sensible world. Freedom is just too tiresome. I am already getting ready to spend my last penny to live in one of the world's biggest and bestest crowds!
   
   Chew on that, Bill!
