While today's artists are working with all sorts of mediums like plaster or charcoal or dirty diapers or whatever, nothing speaks to the soul quite like the classic MS Paint. Here it is in its time-lapsed glory.

Gotta love that mention of "The Next Bill Gates?" It's been over a decade and sadly we haven't heard of Episoft. It's fine and dandy to build your own computer using old parts, and you can't knock them for ambition, but the way he talks about phoenixes rising from ashes is just awesome. You can expect a lot from a slow news day in Maine.

As if this wasn't already a cringeworthy mess, it looks like there's a lady shoplifting in the middle of the dance. 

"BING YOU'RE FIRED!" Sit back and enjoy an angry ex-Microsoft employee retelling the last sound he heard before getting fired at Microsoft:Bing. That Groundhog Day reference though! 

This is FAR more entertaining than it has any right to be.

What a time to be alive...via The Seattle Times:

A few days after Microsoft released Windows 10 to the public last year, Teri Goldstein’s computer started trying to download and install the new operating system.

The update, which she says she didn’t authorize, failed. Instead, the computer she uses to run her Sausalito, Calif., travel-agency business slowed to a crawl. It would crash, she says, and be unusable for days at a time.

“I had never heard of Windows 10,” Goldstein said. “Nobody ever asked me if I wanted to update.”

When outreach to Microsoft’s customer support didn’t fix the issue, Goldstein took the software giant to court, seeking compensation for lost wages and the cost of a new computer.

And so soon after Jobs passed away? Scandalous! What will the neighbors say?
