Windows Vista… hmmmm… I Think I’ll Wait

This weekend I went to one of those big box computer stores to play around with Windows Vista. I have to admit, after looking and poking around for about 15 minutes, I was not impressed. To me Vista feels and behaves like a nicer Windows XP. There was not too much of anything to compel me to go out and upgrade. Though the translucent windowing and the carousel fly-by window effect are cool but…mmm… think I will wait until I buy my next computer and am forced into Vista, I won’t upgrade or rush right now.

Javatar: The Chronicle of An Endless War

The Javatar nation is all too familiar with daily assaults it faces against others in the typed-typeless worlds. It started suddenly and swift from the land of DotNation. Led by their fearless leader, Bill, he vowed to bring down the Javatar (it’s really sad to see typed nations fighting other typed nations, I am repulsed). Then came the typeless attacks. Their preferred weaponry is PHP. Yes, PE HEITCH PE (o, the horror). PHP is the purest of the typeless nations. They do not care about the typed and compiled nations (he’s compiled and he’s typed, the abomination! Get him!). The Javatars however was able to fend them off. Soon after came reinforcements.

The tour de force that changed everything and tilt the balance away from typed and compiled nations everywhere – Ruby. They use what’s been called Rails, a weapon so efficient, it can anticipate your opponent’s next move. Rails shows how potent typelesses can be against the fully-typed in, what seems to be, an endless battle. Then the Serpetines (also known as Python) continues to carry the typeless banner and attack the Javatar wherever possible with their slithering fighting style. How long can Javatar stand against such formidable typeless and, dare I say it, agile opponents?

Oh no, what’s this? Just when the typed thought they have seen it all, just when they figured out to defend against the typeless attacks (by providing the typeless a safe environment to ‘run and execute’), then came RIA’s led by none other than the FLEX nation (run for your compiled, typed, and swing lives….haaa!). Fulled by Adobites {gasp… haaawww}. Adobites! The most abundant and lethal element in the typed-typeless universe, it’s everywhere (98% of everywhere to be exact). How can the compiled Javatar types fight this threat?

This time it may be the end of the Javatar. Flex knows no boundaries. It charms its opponent with its good look and in no time you are taken over by Adobites {gulp}. One in every 10 Javatar is predicted to loose the fight against the Flex attack. This past week alone, Javatar witnessed one of their best publicly succumb to Adobites. A well-regarded and prominent Javatar fighter admitted he’s been contaminated by Adobites and have been assisting the Flexian. The Adobite is so strong in him, there may be no hope for his recovery.

What will the Javatars do? Who will they turn to? Will they continue to pray to their Sun god for better and brighter days (pun… pun…)? Or will their own Sun god forsake them? Some Javatars think He already has. The Javatar’s Council of Protectors (JCP) have put out new decrees and is working on new ways to stop this new wave of attacks. Let’s all hope they have learned from the past mistakes an not rely on prayers alone!

Well, this concludes this chapter of the Javatar War chronicle. I have seen a Flex. They are charming and look good, with their buttons, menus, out-of-the-box styles and free spirited nature, it’s easy to see….

{inner thought:
o no, they got to me too.
I must have been infected with Adobites.
But, I never touch Adobites nor come in contact with it
O no, I got Flashed recently... damn
I am a Javatar, I must resist...
but the temptation is too strong
