Rant #1 - The Gadget Show
August 25th, 2008 | by Saf |Hi,
I’m just gonna go straight into my rant…
I was watching an episode of ‘The Gadget Show’ dated 14th July 2008 just a couple of days ago. Reason for watching was because my cousin Asifa (Hi Asifa! and Zain and the Baby and JB!) got me intrigued on the ‘ZPen’ from Dane-elec (which looks really cool and I want it!). So anyway, I was watching it and turns out they were also reviewing the Apple TV made by… you guessed it, Apple.
I’ll cut to the chase, Jason (the reviewer) said that Apple needs to ‘reduce that 4 hour wait’ because it’s ‘just a little bit too long’ when you’re renting/downloading a HD movie. Can you believe it?!?! Blaming Apple! Of course it’s gonna take 4 fucking hours to download a HD movie from Apple when your using shit broadband in the UK! It’s not Apple’s fault but more the fault of the ISP’s. Apple are innovating and churning out beautiful sexy technology to revolutionise the way we do things but the ISP’s are still stuck in the old age, with slow internet or a ridiculously expensive price for moderately fast internet!
Therefore it is not Apple’s fault. If you want a faster download time, get faster internet or download SD content. You can’t download HD movies and expect Apple to have compressed them down to about the size of a SD movie because otherwise it’s no longer HD you fucking pillock. It’s gonna be SD. So blame the ISP’s and not Apple!
/Rant over
In all fairness though, Jason did say that Apple had an exciting product and he is a bit of a mac fan so I’ll left him off. Just this once mind. I won’t be so easily calmed down next time…
Also, Happy Birthday Mum! She’s like a million years old today :p Hehe. I made her a cake! It had strawberry’s in it with loads of chocolate (both milk and white)! I was so proud of it. Tasted and looked very nice if I may say so myself.
Aunty said that I was a right little girl! I’ll take that as a complement… somehow… I guess she meant to say that girls are usually associated with such perfection and beautiful cookery. What can I say? I’m great. Better than a girl. Absolutely brilliant. I’m just a great all-rounder. 
Me and bro got Mum a Bose iPod speaker thingy. T’is very loud…
Tune in to tomorrow for another rant tomorrow. I believe it’s gonna be to do with Chocolate and the way it’s promoted… lol.
Good Night-i-o

Good god child, calm down. I’m guessing you sent Jason hate mail and drove him to the point of suicide too.
If I knew what an ISP/SD/any other weird jargon you used was, I’d join in this rant, but it is way over my head. See: previous conversation had by Saf and Humaira during Biology free-
H- My internet isn’t working
S- What’s your ISP?
H- …
(several minutes of silence later)
H- Internet Explorer..?
(Saf walks away in despair)
