LOL Gee, Monk cannot think of anything. Hmm, you can feel and touch your oppenent... I am really stuck!

.......

I'll just attach here another piece of timely news from Xbox regarding its Kinect gaming system. Microsoft is apparently opening it up a little more toward sexually themed games:



Personally, I need more options than simply to be able to run a digital hand over buxom cartoon girls, but I appreciate this step in the right direction. Though, if it ever does become more provocative and engaging in a Monkish kind of way, it probably won't happen within my lifetime. Ah, but the possibilities! Well, it's not like one is hurting for masturbatory material - thank god for the Internet and Japanese porn!

It looks like MicroSuck is skipping over Vista and is set on rolling out Windows 7. I've been afraid about having to deal with Vista, but they are in the very early stages in developing this new product, just showing it around to developers. There is no indication how long it may take to go from there to stocking them in the stores. A year? Two years? Our computers are already over a couple of years old, and mine is pretty beat up.

Though, this is still Microsuck. Vista was their special baby. What can one realistically expect from Windows 7?

This morning I got a prompt to install a Windows update, a big one, Service Pack 3. It's automatic with me; they tell me to install this important update, who am I to argue? Afterward, I have to restart the computer, which is also typical. But then the nightmare begins. Windows won't run anymore on my computer!

I should have followed this guy's advice not to be so quick about installing the thing, but to wait until other users battle test the software for a couple of months. In truth, though, even if I had that advice in my pocket before receiving the update notice, I would have pressed my luck. So hapless am I, I couldn't be sure about having access to the service pack later.

So, we're a one-computer home again, and I'm at the mercy of the techno-gods to restore my machine. It's nice to know that even after Bill Gates has left running the company, the suckage continues. It's enough to turn one into a Mac guy.
