Unhelpful

I realize this story is all over the web today, but I have to celebrate the Death of DIVX.

I got a real deal - I bought my DVD player when Circuit City was putting all its DIVX/DVD players on sale, and ended up paying less than I would have for a DVD-only player.

So even though I never purchased a DIVX account (die DIVX die), I get another rebate from DIVX.

Sometimes Microsoft and Windows in general piss me off.

Take, for example, the key layout of the Microsoft Natural Keyboard. I like the idea of adding extra keys for things you do frequently, but what the hell is up with the “application” key? (Microsoft Natural Keyboard users - it’s the one you never use that’s next to the right Ctrl key)

If Microsoft’s idea of saving time was to assign a common function to a new key, this is the key they should have added:

That would be a key I’d actually be using often. Hell, it would probably wear out quicker than the Enter key. It sure would make those FPS gaming sessions more interesting.
