Microsoft’s Blounge™ at Macworld

I’m truly grateful to Microsoft for having a Blounge™ at Macworld. It saves me the headache of scrounging for an outlet and the seats are ultra cushy. But I feel like a caged animal on display. The jealous and annoying Macworld attendees stop and gawk and point fingers. What’s the big f*cking deal? These people need to get a life. In fact, some a-hole is peering over my shoulder and telling me to inform all of you that all the booths here just have iPod cases.
Some of the people in here aren’t even bloggers. They’re just some random weirdos that snuck in. The woman to the left, for instance, is not a blogger. Not that I really care, but the fact that people will sneak in here to get a some M$ branded M&M’s is mind boggling. They’re literally coming in here and taking handfuls at a time then leaving. WTF?! Are people that keen on free crap like Office for Mac coasters that they’re willing to throw a tantrum to get in here. I don’t understand it. Has society become that pathetic? Or am I just hungover and cranky?

I vote hung over and cranky. I read your guy’s blog daily. A lot of various crunch post’s lately have stunk a little bit of high horse. Still love the blog just giving my opinion. Otherwise keep up the good work!

I agree, Joe, but there has been a lot of talk lately about who is a blolger and who isn’t. Just makin’ conversation.

And besides, these boys are wandering around the show floor so you don’t have to. give them some time to kvetch. CES+MacWorld in the same month causes constipation.

What kind of idiot its around in the MS lounge typing the ever-so-1998-clever “M$” and then complains about people glomming off free M&Ms?

Society IS that pathetic — attend any realtor’s luncheon, and you’ll find that these jabronees go CRAZEE for the free chicken skewers — it’s like they’ve never eaten before.
See that woman in the pic — I’ll bet she somehow thinks that if she stuffs enough M&Ms in her purse, she’ll be able to feed her kids for a week.

You’re right Peter. People are just generally friggin’ annoying especially at trade shows. Like the man said, “A riot is just a free t-shirt away.”
