Laugh Out Loud

November 5, 2009 stevewiilliams Leave a comment

Like I said, Guy has made a website through which he is impersonating me and making out that I’m a liar, by lying himself.

Here are some examples of what he is saying:

  • He is saying that I’m not dyspraxic. He’s also trying to make out that I said I was bipolar. He’s the one who suggested I’m bipolar. It wasn’t me who said it. So Guy’s lying.
  • He said I copy and paste my tech articles from other website. Would you do something for me? Google around and find where I copied them from.
  • He said I claimed to own every Apple product.
  • He thinks I reacted to the word ‘retard’ to try to overpower him. Incorrect on so many levels.
  • He said I abused Kate, him and Sam.
  • He said that I talk about Sam behind his back and also backstab most of the friends I had on the quad.
  • He said I’m not getting Joy an iPod Touch for Christmas.
  • He’s saying that Joy and I didn’t kiss for eight hours. He said that she denied it on Facebook. What utter trash.
  • He’s saying I claimed to be able to play the guitar.
  • He is saying I claimed to invent the Internet memes ‘nom’ and ‘meh’ just because I used to use them a lot. What utter trash. I never said anything of the sort.

He’s more or less posting a whole load of trash XD

‘Lies of Steve’

November 5, 2009 stevewiilliams Leave a comment

Guy has made a website on WordPress called ‘Lies of Steve’ and is trying to impersonate me through it. He’s telling lots of lies. He’s saying that I’m not dyspraxic and that I copy and paste tech articles :)

How very pathetic XD

Lol, this is a very good blog XD

I am not dyspraxic really guys

Lastly, I lie about everything. Get that into your heads and accept that this blog is awesome XD

(just to verify that this is actually my blog – not some pathetic impersonator)

I left a comment on his lie-filled blog and he edited the whole thing so that it was this instead :)

Oh well, it’s not effecting the relationship Joy and I have, so I don’t really care to be honest XD

Proof that he’s editing my comments:

Going to France in December. Departing from Gatwick, London at 1:25PM. Arriving in Blagnac, Toulouse in France at 4:10PM. Running into Joy’s arms and kissing her to death. Spending ten fantastic days with Joy, her mother (Jane), her father (Kevin) and her grandmother (Cruella). Meeting Joy’s dog (Balou), her cat (Bagpuss) and her fish (Joey). Meeting Joy’s two best friends (Coralie and Mathilde) for the first time ever.

Just another WordPress Theory

November 5, 2009 stevewiilliams Leave a comment

There is no harm in making theories. Sometimes they are wrong, sometimes they are right, sometimes they are believed by some and rejected by others. I have a theory.

Lots of people think that Kate still likes me. Not just as a friend, as something more.

I decided to work out whether this could be true or not. And I was quite surprised at the result.

I sat down and started thinking. My mind went off on one and did that thing where it kinda releases itself from my control. A few minutes later I had the theory I am about to share with you…

List of Lies

November 5, 2009 stevewiilliams Leave a comment

My last post was about the lies I really have told in the past five months, the lies Kate has told and the lies Guy has told. I did this because they recently compiled a list of lies I apparently told. I’ve been told a lot of the supposed lies by friends throughout the day.

The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing but the Truth

November 5, 2009 stevewiilliams 1 comment

The truth will out. Why? Because I dislike liars. I used to be something of a liar myself until Joy came into my life and totally changed my attitude. I still tell lies from time to time. Nowhere near as much as I used to and not on a scale comparable to a surprisingly large amount of other people. But I do tell the odd lie here and there. On rare occasions. About silly little things.

Dong.

Anyway…

Kate has gone a bit overboard and written a list of lies that she thinks I told which I most likely never told.

Jamie told me that one of the apparent lies is that I said Joy was my sister.

That’s the most laughable pile of trash I’ve heard in my life.

Ding.

Dong.

Anyway…

At home I compiled a list of the lies I have told and a list of the lies Kate has told.

I dislike liars as much as I dislike lying. I am writing this from school while assembley is going on so I don’t have the list to hand.

But I will be posting it later and then you’ll see who the liar really is.

Ding.

Dong.

Anyway…

I’ve only held back with retaliating against Kate’s mission to seemingly ruin my life until now because I’m not the kind of selfish person who tells lie after lie just to get on someone’s nerves.

I look forward to posting the list of Kate’s lies later.

In the meantime just revel in the fact that Google has posted a Doodle to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Seaseme Street instead of celebrating Fireworks Night like everyone expected:

Much ado about Camera

November 3, 2009 stevewiilliams 2 comments

The guys over at Apple have managed to do something amazing. They’ve created three main brands which are all now leaders of three particular markets. Think of personal media players and a picture of an iPod pops into your head. Meanwhile, at the very mention of the word ‘laptop’, MacBooks spring to mind. And you can’t think of smartphones with thinking iPhones. But the guys over at Apple still have a lot on their plate if they wanna achieve world domination. When you hear ‘operating system’ or ‘open source’ you don’t think ‘Apple’. You think ‘Windows’ or ‘Linux’. Anyway, back in September, Apple did something that everyone expected. They took their iPod Nano and rammed a camera into its back. And the personal media player market shook in fear.

When people ask me for advice regarding which PMP theyn should get, I obviously tell them to go get an iPod, but the problem is… which one? As a rule of thumb I usually rule out the Shuffle and Classic. Unless of course they’re looking for something with a scarily small chassis or a scarily large storage capacity. I generally tell them to get a Touch or a Nano, or an Archos 5 if they’re anti-Apple.

There seems to be a pattern emerging; people keep asking over and over again, rhetorically, why a music and video player needs a camera. Wanna know my answer? If I hear someone say that I just turn to them and explain that when the first camera-cum-phone appeared, people asked the same thing; why does a phone need a camera? Now, almost a decade later, it’s bordering on illegalness not to have a camera built into your phone. In five years, PMPs with cameras will most likely be commonplace. The guys at Apple are just doing what they always do: taking an idea that’s been used elsewhere or which is totally original, and throwing it years ahead, so that all their products have some sort of futuristic new innovation. And no, it’s not just a raft of gimmicks.

But, as the title of this post suggests, I’m not gonna be talking about iPods and PMPs, I wanna talk about the likeliness of Apple making a camera. A standalone camera. Not just a camera built into one of their other products. A standalone camera. There are so many clues pointing towards this happening, as I’m just about to point out.

iCamera

First, iMacs, MacBooks and Apple displays had cameras on board. These integrated eyes became known as ‘iSight’ cameras. Then Apple released a smartphone with a snapper en suite. At first it was scorned for lacking video capture abilities. The second version was ridiculed for the same reason, as well as the fact that between the original model and the 3G, Apple failed to add megapixels to the mediocre 2MP camera.  Even the third model was and still is derided for not toting above-average quality. 3 megapixels doesn’t get the iPhone out of the pit of mediocrity. At least critics could no longer gripe re no video capture abilities. Nevertheless, the iPhones camera remained poor. Only good for a quick snap for Flickr or snip for YouTube.

Considering the iPhone does practically everything else way better than ever phone out there, on such a high degree that there’s only one handset that’s actually managed to threaten Apple’s dominance atop the smartphone market (HTC Hero), this is quite odd.

Now the Nano boasts a camera. Well, not boasts. Just has. If you were a music and video player with a VGA-quality camera you’d probably be too embarrassed to boast it. This one has video straight out of the box. But worse than bad mediocre. Awful. Not even good for YouTube.

The fact that Apple’s three main products now have cameras of some sort makes me wonder whether there’s some sort of standalone iSight camera on the way. And if there is one just around the corner, will it be low quality, or will it actually qualify for a professional photographer’s toolbox?

We’ll have to wait and see…
