    I have a different kind of pet peeve, at least for this week. Adobe Flash Plugin. I can't tell you how much I hate this application. It sucks balls! Always crashing, no matter which browser I use. And before it crashes, it locks up my browser while it 'thinks' about crashing and then always does. I CANNOT WAIT for the day that HTML 5 is the new standard and Adobe Flash finally burns after crashing.

    Anyone else have similar issues with it?

    Here is a poor behavior that I am forced to tolerate;

    My dog. I love my dog...LOVE-MY-DOG however, he is an insufferable cat shit eater. I do not get this huge demand he has placed upon cat shit, but it is so there.

    They say all good dogs go to heaven. Well, Bluex is a great dog in that every time he can wrap his lips around a cat turd, he IS in heaven. The same mouth that licks us family members on the face...

    I've heard they can make six figures in Houston due to the busy intersections.

    Its probably doable. To make six figures you would have to average $400 per day 5 days a week for the year. If somebody worked a really busy offramp in the morning and afternoon rush hours I could see them taking in $400 even if they took the middle of the day off for a round of golf at their country club. Many times I have seen people reach out of their car windows and hand paper money to somebody with a cardboard sign. In a city the size of Houston with their many many miles of freeways a smart panhandler could change offramps frequently so that the regular commuters in a certain area didn't get used to seeing them every day and figure out it was an ongoing scam.

    Hashtags and the whole fucking twitter thing.

    The format and way in which people communicate with twitter is God awful.

    Someone should do to twitter what facebook did to myspace.

    Make a better version!

    Not much, because Apple refuses to make Flash a part of the Apple OS. It has always sucked and is a memory hog.

    I used to curse Apple for not including Flash for my iPad, but now I know why they don't. Flash is total garbage.

    jobs' decision had nothing to do with memory issues. flash is a cross-platform development tool. if he allowed that this would be support for other o/s and jobs would no longer be the gatekeeper of content. which ironically, is whats hurting apples market share. more convenience and less restriction is the only way apple can remain atop the heap ; especially when todays customers want their data available wherever and whenever they want it. and across platforms.
