Futurama pokes fun at Apple with eyePhone.
In the third episode of the new season, Futurama pokes fun at Apple with the eyePhone. Mimicking real life, the episode “Attack of The Killer App” shows:
- People are lining up to buy the eyePhone.
- People don’t care if it costs a lot of money.
- People don’t care if there’s no Carrier choice.
- People don’t care if the battery doesn’t hold charges.
By the way, Planet Express Crews also figured out that the eyePhone also makes calls.
Other tidbits from the episode:
- The Real Housewives of Sim City
- Mentos
- Twit-worm
- Spybot
- Susan Boils that sings show-tunes.
Microsoft, I Hate You!
One more reason why Microsoft’s Windows Genuine Advantage is annoying and bad.
WGA, not to be confused with Writers Guild of America or World Canadian Bureau, is simply annoying. Microsoft does not trust Windows users. In this case, Windows XP was factory pre-installed by Gateway before Windows Vista days. Microsoft Security Essentials was installed previously and passed WGA. So suddenly this meesage came up on not one but two computers. The second one was purchased from Dell with Windows XP pre-installed in March 2010.

Another Text Spam: 1-949-439-5924
I received another Text Spam message on June 21st, 2010. Don’t bother calling (949) 439-5924 back, because it doesn’t take any phone calls.. All you need to do is to file complaints to FCC because such unsolicited text messages violate CAN-SPAM Act. I inquired AT&T who is my service provider, but they are no help at all.
You should file form 1088G to report this violation. File a complaint on FCC site http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm
You can also call 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-2255-322) voice; 1-888-TELL-FCC (1-888-8355-322) TTY.
The text reads:
Wipe out 55% of credit card, and any unsecured debt. Must be 10K or more. 100% guarantee. To have representative call you, reply – YES
Text-Spam does violate the Communication Act of 1934.
