Which Bond is Best?

Possibly one of the biggest questions of our time : Who is the best Bond?

As a child, I quite like Roger Moor. But then I suspect this may have been because he was my first Bond, and he was the one acting in the new films at the time. I remember when Octopussy came out, I though it was the best thing ever. Especially the free Bond stickers in packs of Shredded Wheat.

Timothy Dalton then came along and ruined it all of course. But by this time I was watching Sean Connery on the telly and quickly realising that he was by far the superior Bond. It then became even more apparent that Roger Moor had been a bit of a cock really, and kind of ruined the character.

Pierce Brosnan has I think done more films than the both of them, and some of the films are OK. But I recon for a definitive answer you should pop down to your local Asda.

Yes, they know who the best is. But how can you tell? Check out the pricing on the new Best Of bond box sets that have come out! There is is, for all to see. Finally, a quick and simple way to see which bond is best. And before you say it, there are actually LESS DVDs in the Connery box set, and yet it costs more. Surely a sign of quality?

The jury is still out on Danial Craig of course, but after seeing the amazing Casino Royale, I'm pretty sure that be will be comfortably in the No. 2 spot. Assuming of course he doesn't know Connery off the top.

Could he do it? Well, we shall know for sure after the Quantum of Solace comes out! But the real answer might not come till he's done a few more and Asda start selling box sets.

New Facebook STILL Sucks !

Let there be no confusion here. New Facebook is an absoloute load of toss. The more I use it, the more astounded I am at how this ever got released. I mean, at some point, this "improvement" will have gone before a committee, and hopefully some testers. All of whom have said that New Facebook is OK. Well, guess what, you're all WRONG! Just like New Facebook is, now offically, WRONG!

Please start again, this time run it past a useability expert before you give it to a bunch of morons to approve for release.

Fear Of Change (New Facebook SUCKS!)

Kainotophobia apparently is the fear of change, or new things. I sometimes worry this is something I suffer from. While I work in IT, I absolutely detest it when there are major changes/developments afoot. More often than not, there is absolutely no need from them, it's just progress for progresses sake.

I think the first time I experienced techno-kainotophobia (as I will call it) was when Windows XP first appeared. Windows started off as a pretty bad OS, it got better with 95, and with 98 and eventually, 2000 was a very good stable OS. But really, there was never any need to move on from 2000! The only things needed were to add more hardware support for newer hard drives and CPUS, and eventually add 64 bit support. But NO we had to have XP, with all it's bloated graphics and unneeded sub processes, services and background tasks.

Don't even get me started on Vista.

That said, I've (eventually) taken quite well to new phenomena, such as social networking : specifically Facebook. It's basically everything that Friends Reunited should have been. I bet they're KICKING themselves now! Snooze you loose fellas!

So anyway, my point is that the *NEW* Facebook just came out. I hate it. Really, really I do. There was no need. Yes, Facebook is cluttered, but more often than not, this is the fault of the users for setting up their profiles like that (it's sure as hell prettier than Myspace!).

So why change it? Yes, it looks nice and tidy now. But you can't find anything anymore! The stuff I wanted people to see when they looked at my profile is now gone, it's tucked away in a tabbed section somewhere. And can I bollocks get it to actually show me my profile when I want, I have to go back to old Facebook, then select my profile, then go back to new Facebook again. Then, after ALL that, the fucking site will crash with just a "Loading..." message, meaning I have to refresh the page to reload the whole site again.

What a big load of hairy bollocks. Cheesy ones at that!

CNET Download, previously ZDNET Download over at www.download.com have decided to turn their very well designed and functional site....into a blog page.

NOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo, what are you DOING ?!?! They've RUINED it! What a total fucking mess! Seriously, have a word !!
