9 Legacy Technologies we want to kill

Ok This list is ment for those of you who know something about computers…

9 – The Scroll Lock – It’s like an appendix except the appendix actually does something.

8 – WEP – This officer Barbrady of security couldn’t secure a paper bag.

7 – Floppy Port – When was the last time anyone used a floppy disk?

6 – PS/2 – Why must this continue to vex us?

5 – VGA – Take your analog, interference-inducing ass home.

4 – PCI LOCAL BUS – the party is over. The hosts are yawning. Can you puh-lease get a clue and leave?

3 – IDE – 100MB/s in the age of SATA says: Die Already!

2 – FireWire – Does anyone use this and why?

1 – BOIS – And just why are we still using character-based, low-res BIOS in 2010?

This is from tha back page of the MaximumPC Mag of Spring 2010.

    What I wouldnt give to have a debate with you about this.  You just say so many things that come from nowhere that Im pretty sure Id have a fair shot.  Your blog is great visually, I mean people wont be bored.  But others who can see past the videos and the layout wont be so impressed with your generic understanding of this topic.

    Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

    If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
