Oh, the busyness…how it vexes me…the busyness…

Robots.

While I try to re-energize whatever part of my psyche powers this hobby known as blogging, please enjoy the sight and sound of QRIO, Sony’s cancelled robotics program.

Ah, look!

Further evidence this sterling virtual rag’s five year plan to completely dominate I-space (a neologism, or perhaps, neo-hyphe-logism) is moving forward at a steady clip: spam from across the wicked Earth.

Which is something I try to do as rarely as possible. Perhaps because it seems to carry, at least when I do it, the whiff of a certain scent. The ‘am I popular yet?‘ cologne. And like all colognes, a little goes a long way.

But while reviewing I noticed the mundane – yet still interesting – fact that most of my sublimely well educated, marvelously dressed and model good-looking visitors use Microsoft Windows. No surprises there considering the OS’s market share (a surprisingly contentious issue). What did surprise me was the high percentage of visitors whose versions of Windows are, in operating system life cycle terms, of less than recent vintage.

Ah, there you all are; the Windows-using block.

But notice how many of you have held on to older versions.

How disturbing it must be, if you’re a Microsoft exec, to think of all those people who are satisfied – or if not satisfied, stuck in slow motion – with older, non revenue generating, iterations of your product.
