Curtis Brown returns an interception 77 yards for a touchdown.
Texas (#3) dominated Oklahoma State (#14) winning 41 to 14 on the back of a dominating defensive performance. Texas scored twice on defense and twice more after turnovers. That’s two straight weeks of strong performances. They’re starting to play like they played last year. If they keep it up, there may be another national championship in the cards.
I got a great deal on the pre-order version of Windows Home Premium – $49. It arrived in the mail a few days after launch. I finally got around to installing it today.
The process took 5-6 hours. It was easy, not a lot of hand-holding needed. I didn’t wipe the drive and start fresh. Rather I installed it as an upgrade to Vista.
After using it all evening, I’m underwhelmed. It doesn’t seem to boot any faster. It does wake up from sleep faster, but it also takes longer to go to sleep.
The OS assumes way to many things, like the fact that I would want to put all of my pictures and videos into Windows Media Player to be viewed at once. NO. I do NOT want to do this. It was a pain to undo this.
After installing, I decided to start uninstalling a bunch of software that came on my HP laptop. It took forever to uninstall things. This felt much slower than Vista and XP.
I wish I’d kept my $49.
The blogosphere is in a tissy about AT&T “encouraging” employees to contact the FCC about net neutrality. Even going so far as to suggest that management pressured employees to do this.
I call BS on this. I worked for the other evil empire – Verizon – for 7 years. We used to get e-mails from our government affairs group every so often presenting the company’s position on various issues and encouraging us to write our representatives in support of these views. These e-mails were from “corporate”, not from our business unit. Never once did anyone from our business unit nor in our chain of command ever bring up one of these e-mails. No one cared. There was no pressure. I find it very hard to believe that it would be much different at a very similar AT&T.
What about the rest of the ranked teams?
Texas wins, Texas wins! YeeHaw!
Marquise Goodwin scores the Longhorns only TD.
My friend Jeb has resumed posting his wisdom online. He’s by far the smartest guy I know. It reminds me of our chats when our cubes were facing one another back in the day at Verizon. Check it out.
