This is not a Hack

I’ve noticed an annoying trend lately, and its starting to get on my nerves.

Every 2nd person who figures something out on their own, is writing up a HOWTO.
This isn’t a problem. Its the fact that they’re calling it a “Hack” thats getting on my nerves.

A Hack is where you take something, and make it do something it was never designed to do. Not using something that was designed to do something, to do something slightly similar. Thats not a hack, thats an adaptation.

Well, thats my rant for the day. If anyone wants to sponsor some real gadget hacking, let me know and I’m sure we can work something out

Now I know I’m not the only one

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one that hates those kids that insist on forcing their crap music on fellow commuters.

They think that everyone else on the bus/train wants to listen to whatever it is they’re listening to, but playing it through their cellphone speaker.

Really kids, your taste in music sucks, I know this, everyone knows this. Stop trying to prove it.
