Wow! un sistema oberativo

ieri in pompa magna Microsoft ha annunciato l’inizio di una nuova era.
È arrivato “Vista”, il nuovo sistema operativo: dicono che ci hanno messo 5 anni a realizzarlo e si sono concentrati sulla sicurezza. Non ci credo e basteranno pochi giorni a dimostrarlo. Vediamo.


Comunque, campagna stampa degna di Microsoft: uno “Wow!” gigante sul solito sfondo di cieli americani pieni di anidride carbonica. Creativi, al solito.
Lo spot, poi è una sequenza ai miei occhi casuale di situazioni che niente hanno a che fare con un sistema operativo, ma sono sicuro che sia colpa di qualche virus che si è impossessato del computer con cui è stato editato.
“Wow”, anzi, “uau”.
Nel frattempo un bell’in bocca al lupo a tutte le future vittime consapevoli di questo nuovo inutile sistema operativo.

ieri


prendi un’area grande, ma tanto, tutta coperta di capannoni ed edifici alti anche una quindicina di metri che per girarla ti ci vuole un’ora a passo spedito, mettici in mezzo una torre dell’acqua molto più alta e un centinaio di operai che però ti danno un’idea di vuoto, loro, o almeno l’idea di un posto dove una volta ce ne lavoravano cinque volte tanti, dove fa freddo, ovunque, perché è tutto chiuso, ma pieno di aperture, vai a vedere questo posto in una giornata come ieri, passacela proprio tutta, in mezzo a muletti, manufatti e sudore e improvvisamente ti accorgi del privilegio di accarezzare un mouse, magari undici ore al giorno, ma seduto, al caldo, coi tuoi bei pensieri che ti solleticano la cervice.


Postindustriale una sega, qui si fatica e si soffre come cent’anni fa.

Dear Mr. President: Send Even MORE Troops (and you go, too!) …from Michael Moore

soluzioni del problema Iraq: la parte più bella è quella in cui propone a 27 milioni di americani di ammazzare un iracheno a testa 

Dear Mr. President,

Thanks for your address to the nation. It’s good to know you still want to talk to us after how we behaved in November.

Listen, can I be frank? Sending in 20,000 more troops just ain’t gonna do the job. That will only bring the troop level back up to what it was last year. And we were losing the war last year! We’ve already had over a million troops serve some time in Iraq since 2003. Another few thousand is simply not enough to find those weapons of mass destruction! Er, I mean… bringing those responsible for 9/11 to justice! Um, scratch that. Try this — BRING DEMOCRACY TO THE MIDDLE EAST! YES!!!

You’ve got to show some courage, dude! You’ve got to win this one! C’mon, you got Saddam! You hung ‘im high! I loved watching the video of that — just like the old wild west! The bad guy wore black! The hangmen were as crazy as the hangee! Lynch mobs rule!!!

Look, I have to admit I feel very sorry for the predicament you’re in. As Ricky Bobby said, “If you’re not first, you’re last.” And you being humiliated in front of the whole world does NONE of us Americans any good.

Sir, listen to me. You have to send in MILLIONS of troops to Iraq, not thousands! The only way to lick this thing now is to flood Iraq with millions of us! I know that you’re out of combat-ready soldiers — so you have to look elsewhere! The only way you are going to beat a nation of 27 million — Iraq — is to send in at least 28 million! Here’s how it would work:

The first 27 million Americans go in and kill one Iraqi each. That will quickly take care of any insurgency. The other one million of us will stay and rebuild the country. Simple.

Now, I know you’re saying, where will I find 28 million Americans to go to Iraq? Here are some suggestions:

1. More than 62,000,000 Americans voted for you in the last election (the one that took place a year and half into a war we already knew we were losing). I am confident that at least a third of them would want to put their body where there vote was and sign up to volunteer. I know many of these people and, while we may disagree politically, I know that they don’t believe someone else should have to go and fight their fight for them — while they hide here in America.

2. Start a “Kill an Iraqi” Meet-Up group in cities across the country. I know this idea is so early-21st century, but I once went to a Lou Dobbs Meet-Up and, I swear, some of the best ideas happen after the third mojito. I’m sure you’ll get another five million or so enlistees from this effort.

3. Send over all members of the mainstream media. After all, they were your collaborators in bringing us this war — and many of them are already trained from having been “embedded!” If that doesn’t bring the total to 28 million, then draft all viewers of the FOX News channel.

Mr. Bush, do not give up! Now is not the time to pull your punch! Don’t be a weenie by sending in a few over-tired troops. Get your people behind you and YOU lead them in like a true commander in chief! Leave no conservative behind! Full speed ahead!

We promise to write. Go get ‘em W!

Yours,

Michael Moore
