Re: Off Topic 2012

Uhhh . . .

Anyway, this makes no sense to me. When I go to check my Pitt mail using IE9 it opens up in Microsoft Exchange. However, if I do so using Google Chrome, it opens up in the much less functional and more cumbersome Microsoft Office Outlook Web Acess. Why would it open in different applications depending on which browser I'm using?

Also, another complaint I have about Google Chrome. If I'm in a popup thing like ESPN game tracker or yahoo fantasy stat tracker, the scroll wheel doesn't work and I have to click and drag the scroll bar to move up or down on the page whereas in IE9 the scroll wheel on my mouse works.

OK, I'm done now.

Probably some Microsoft voodoo they can't do in Chrome, but they can do in their ***-backwards browser.

Random fact:

When I was in 2nd grade, snap backs were popular.

Then when I was in high school and college it was all about the fitted.

Now snap backs are popular once again.

This is correct. We use Microsoft Dynamics CRM (web-based) at my job and it looks and works great in IE but if you try to open it with Chrome or Firefox or anything else, it is completely useless.

When I was in 2nd grade, the Orioles were playing in the ALCS. Talk about sad.

I'll top that sadness by saying when I was in 2nd grade Cub fans were saying the Cubs will go to the World Series next year. 25 years later......they are still saying that.

Well that sucks.

When I was in 2nd grade, you weren't even born yet.

Anyways, to continue from my earlier post about viewing Pitt mail on IE9 vs GG, I tried to set up Outlook 2007 to view my Pitt mail following the instructions provided on Pitts helpdesk website, but all that did was break outlook. Then the help desk website was giving me all kinds of crap trying to log a ticket about it. Ugh :

Nestle has issued a statement to clarify that its new mascot isn't Pedobear — the Internet symbol of pedophile behaviour — after publishing an image that resembles the notorious cartoon.

The move comes after the food company posted a photo to Instagram, a popular picture-sharing application, of a man in a bear costume drumming with two Kit-Kat bars.

Before long, folks were drawing comparisons between the costume and Pedobear, a cartoon image used to mock people who display a sexual interest in minors online.

"We produced this photo — of a real guy in a bear suit — to launch Instagram through our Facebook community," a spokeswoman for the company told The Age newspaper.

"We had never heard of Pedobear," she said. "But when the possibility of its similarity to the so-called 'Pedobear' was raised with us, we immediately removed it."

Popularized by the 4chan — the message board from which many Internet phenomena originate — Pedobear is generally used to signal to moderators and users that someone has posted illegal porn, or to call someone out on their creepy behaviour.

In recent years, it has turned up in all sorts of unlikely places, usually by accident, including CP Distributor newspaper flyers, a Polish newspaper article about the 2010 Olympic mascots and an iPhone game called "Dancing Cuddle Bear."

"Get it together," wrote David Kiefaber on AdWeek.com. "If more companies would start hiring people under 35 again, we wouldn't have to go through this every six months."
