EDIT: Haha I just love how it links here at the bottom of the article.

[Broco]

Man, fucking middlebrow newspaper columnists.

Their idea of good writing is using the simplest possible words, beginning and ending their article with an "enticing" introduction and conclusion like their 3rd-grade English teacher taught them.

Also, putting every sentence in a separate paragraph for no fucking reason.

His column complains near-exclusively about WiFi yet blames "high-tech" in general.

I wonder what kind of "award" he won, Southwest Richmond columnist of the month?

Must be automated or something. Either way, that's pretty funny that it does link here.

I'm guessing that it just reads the referral link (the URL of the page that had the link to the article) and puts it there.

[Broco]

Yeah, I spent a few minutes trying to figure out how that link got there. It seems to be taking the link from the referer and storing it in a server-side temporary session variable indexed by the ID "oasPN" in the URL.

It's a pretty WTFy way of doing things. It leads to lots of strange potential side effects like the selectbutton link, and also if you wait 5 minutes and then reload the link disappears entirely. An incompetent Java servlet programmer wrote this...

[haze]

this is a Microsoft viral marketer notice how he says bad stuff about all their competitors but XBox 360 is perfectly intuitive for the casual award-winning columnist market.



So we gave up.

Actually, when you have javascript turned off, you see that link is just history.back()

This guy is the same kind of people I run into all the time. Most are Microsofties who, by default because everything that's not created by Microsoft must be harder to use, despite how easy it would be if their train of thought wasn't so ingrained by their work/home experiences.

Or this guy will probably write an article tomorrow about how much easier it is to game on Vista next, after upgrading his video card, ram, hard drive, mobo, and installing drivers. While complaining that the wii is too hard to use still.

He must be using USB 1.1 with his iPod and have a really shitty router, or something.

I guess some make a wish kid really wanted to write a newspaper article or something fuck

That sort of thing would've failed me in High School english, let alone college. What the hell did he win an award for?

[dmauro]

This asshole probably is one of the guys on XBL screaming racist remarks at the other players and mostly just running into a wall the whole time. Regardless, I don't need to imagine scenarios in which this writer is a total douche because he's already confessed that it takes him days to get music onto his iPod.

Huh? You guys do realize that most of the stuff he's saying is right. It's a lot more of a pain in the ass to get the PS3 and Wii online than the Xbox 360. I actually had to rearrange my entire setup just to give those systems more "breathing room" so that the wifi signals wouldn't get muffled by my AV shelving. The 360 works fine wirelessly from within its small yet-breathable house.

As for the iPod thing, uhh, I just think he's lazy.

I just put my Wii on the desk and it worked. It's right next to my 360 and just over my iMac. I've never had a problem getting it online. One of the things I really like about the Wii is that it saves multiple connection profiles so I can take it back and forth between my apartment and my parents' house without problems. I really wish the 360 had this.

[Cryo]

Yeah, my Wii autodetected my wifi when I turned it on for the first time.

That's why his problem isn't with consoles but his WiFi router.
