First of all, this picture is doctored; there should be a company name under "Mouse", or else it would show an "Unidentified Publisher" warning instead. Also notice how 'Mouse' text isn't rendered with cleartype, while all other text is. Plus, it's from 'Uncyclopedia'.

Secondly, is Windows bashing what "Hacker News" is going to become? Might as well rename this site "Digg" and start upvoting "Top ten tips for using Ubuntu"-type stories.

Maybe I should add a way to undo votes. I bet a few people would like to.

Or maybe I should just not accept submissions ending in .jpg or .png. Images are the Nile Perch of social news.

1) Don't live in San Francisco.

2) You couldn't pay me to use Outlook.


1) Bummer. We'll be available for you soon enough, I hear the Internets go outside SF. :)

2) Lots of people are paid to use Outlook, and we know a lot of them hate it. We want to brighten their day first.
