I bet it runs better than vista!
Oh come on, Vista was a great improvement on previous versions of Windoze: It can BSOD all by itself. Previously, you had to log on and run an application before Windoze would od this!
To be fair, if User Account Control is left on Vista will ask you if you want to continue before the blue screen. I think it’s a security feature.
LOL.
You’re wrong, Windoze ME could BSOD by itself too. It could BSOD on startup!
Lol I bet
Funniest thing about this is that my dad actually calls Microsoft like that. But I’m German and not Korean or whatever language that is.
It’s Japanese. I need to go find this… I bet this is in Akihabara.
Haha. and i want to learn Japanese
If that’s the worst name your Dad calls it, he must actually like it.
it’s Japanese
This is definitely somewhere in Japan. The characters in white read “Maikerusofuto”
This is not engrish! it’s purposely saying that because it’s a used computer shop.
ANYTHING runs better than Vista!
Their version is called gazeebo.
Windows 7.
YES!
Hmmm. I never understood all the Vista hate. Oh no, I installed a bunch of crap and downloaded jusnk from limewire and never use any type of security software and now Windows crashes all the time. I have been using Vista for 3 years with only 3 crashes the first 5 months I had it and none since. Maybe they should require people to not be retarded or computer illiterate before being able to purchase a computer.
Well, clearly you must know more than me, a software engineer with 25 years multi-platform experience, because I find Windoze slow, buggy and crashy, with a frankly cr@p multi-threading model and worse job control (when it has any) compared with any of IBM JCL, ICL SCL, various Unixes…
Ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh! A fellow nerd!
I agree to the extent that I used to despise almost anything MS, but it has improved to the point of survivability, and unfortunately I am no longer interested (which MS counts on) to help debug and build Lenix, and find it to difficult/pricey to find ‘average day use programs for other OS’s…. but personally NT (not a true MS written- OS) began the time of passable OS’s, Vista has not been an issue for me except that some XP and prior programs don’t work (a very common Apple dilemma) ….
Most people goof up their computers with 3rd part, “joe blow” freeware/shareware programs which are far more available for MS based machines.
nice whore house
I can has some soft Michael?
I don’t need anymore soft Michaels.
I think the idea of a whore house is to be the opposite of soft.
Anyone puts on a Michael Bolton CD, I warn you, YOU WILL DIE.
Like this?
[noise of round being chambered in pump-action shotgun]
No, no, no firearms – I’m gunna do this nice and slow…
Greek fire!
Well, I was thinking more along the lines of “blunt potato peeler”, but Greek fire is also a possibility.
Scientific proof that it can be worse than Bon Jovi!
…but only just.
Just like Michael Bolton . . .
It’s even worse with video! Get the boiling oil!
Yipe!
*comical fast running sounds*
*swoops down, knocks The guy behind you (no, not that one, the OTHER one) down, ties him against a tree, and puts a gps beacon by him*
*static* *this is Overlord, copy?* *We have anti-troll missiles loaded, permission to fire on your coordinates?*
Fire!
Oh, dammit, now we have to put out the fire before we can shoot the missiles!
How about this gently used deep-fat turkey fryer? The guy at the swap-meet gave me a great deal!!
Perfect for Michael Bolton’s recordings, if possibly a little small for the entire man!
If trussed properly, I think he will fit.
Wha’s wrong?? The crotch shots with the flames were well done; there was the suspense of hoping he was going to fall off that great big rock. You people have no artistic sensibilities?
Be vewy vewy kwiet; I’m hunting Michael Boltons!
Bill Gates ripped off Michaelsoft’s Binbows clearly, poor Michael
They also sell Xanon and Upson printers.
It looks like it was done intentionally.
The sign says ćć¤ć±ć«ć½ćć.
ćć¤ć±ć« is how you’d spell Michael in Japanese, so it actually says Michaelsoft in Japanese as well.
Microsoft is spelled ćć¤ćÆćć½ćć.
The other Japanese words, ęæå® (bargain prices) and äøå¤ćć½ć³ć³ļ¼ćć¼ćSHOP “Used PC and Parts Shop” are perfectly fine.
Binbou č²§ä¹ means “poor”, so Binbows looks like an intentional play on words, calling itself a cheap knock-off. The windows logo is also inverted.
Thanks. You confirmed my suspicions.
Intentional Engrish is still funny. It’s happened before, and it will happen again.
Long may it pleasure us all with strong funny!
Exactly — I love multi-layered puns, especially bilingual ones!
Well done, Sibilance! Do you live in Japan?
No, but I was born in Tokyo and raised in rural Japan in an American family. Currently living in flyover country, USA.
Cool. By the way, where was this? Akihabara? My man and I will go there soon.
I didn’t take the picture, but a little net sleuthing has failed to yield a location. I did, however, run into a couple of posts that said the shop had closed several years ago.
There’s an additional possible pun for Japanese speakers in “Michaelsoft”. ćć¤ć±ć«ć½ćć could be understood as “my software which I kick”, as in “kick to the curb”, i.e., no longer needed, hence up for resale.
I noticed the katakana were definitely not those that usually spell “Microsoft.” Heh. Interesting.
No Mac OS/Linux knockoffs? Looks like Michael’s laying the smack on Bill Gates for failing to provide him with a better OS, one with less viruses…
Since when did OS come with viruses. If your not getting viruses, it’s thanks to your anti-virus program or no one bothers to make for the OS *ahem* Mac *ahem* anyways.
That’s “Since when did OS’s come with viruses?”
I’m sure he means ‘bugs’. And besides being virus-proof, Mac SUCKS!
Actually MAC’s get virus’s too, just no one bother’s writings them because what business wants to use mac’s. Biggest waste of technology and money: Air book (also known as the “fragile wafer with no real functionality”).
Click my name. Loved the ending. Pretty much.
Or:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0ERgZ9dztk
Which businesses use Macs? Oh, I don’t know. The film industry? The music industry? TV and broadcasting? Media and advertising? Yeah, you’re right, hardly any. No “non-cool” businesses anyway. Accountants use PCs and there are ba-zillions of those.
And btw, Obama has a MacBook Air. Guess he can afford one. Don’t worry if you can’t though. There’s no shame in that.
I dont see the need to spend 2 grand on a keyboard screen and harddrive that can break if you open it too fast. My sister has gone thru 2 already. She got the first one for Christmas. When she went to flip up the screen, the side cracked. My parents didn’t know it you had to buy a cd/dvd drive seperately and bought her some dvds to take with her for her flight back to Virginia.
I’m sitting here happily using my iMac which I bought 2 years ago. I don’t shut it down very often, and it’s never crashed. Once in a while an app will refuse to respond after I’ve had it running for a loooong time, but it’s always easy to restart.
If you don’t like the Air book, check out the review of the latest Macbook in this month’s issue of Silicon Chip or some other reputable magazine.
And then there’s real virtual machine operations; you know where you run several instances of a program, say a web browser, and when one crashes the other n-1 instances keep going fine, rather than all crashing as well like they would in Windoze.
My HP pavillion from 2001 does the same. I have a 40gig hard drive with 512 ram. It runs nice and fast with fiber optic. It even has an infrared port that I used to hack. I need to get a new one though.
Bah, that’s nothing:
I’m sitting here writing this with a typewriter attached to my TV set and using a radio to connect to the intertubes!!!
Damn, you’re good!!! Care to post a picture on kludges?
i speak in tones of respect.
I didn’t pay much for my Mac, got it used from an Apple store with a warranty. It’s easy to use and never crashes. It is a third hemisphere for my brain at this point… I never use or buy the other gizmos, never feel they are necessary.
Itās easy to use and never crashes.
Those are my main requirements for a computer. I had to use Windoze at work but after I first used a Mac I tried out a lot of old Macs from junkyards (which had PCs as well), just to get an idea of the field. Most of them worked fine.
To answer Kame’s comment about breakages: There are some people who could break a steam locomotive without much effort.
Oh, you mean those who can fvck-up an iron ball?
Dad said that my brother could break a crowbar in a sandbox.
Also good!
Steam locomotives are actually rather sensitive beasts.
The only requirements for me…um, well……IT CAN NOT BE A MAC! I prefer PCs because you can openly mess with their programming.
You can get into the UNIX on a Mac with a Utility called “Terminal” which comes with the OS. I haven’t needed to use it, but I understand you can REALLY mess with things in there!
Hmmmmm……I might just try that!
Actually, it’s “Since when did OSes come with viruses?ā No apostrophe.
O, asses, stop it.
Don’t you mean ‘aRSes’?
Since they launched Vista!!! LOL!
Truthfully? Load XP-Pro on a machine (clean install) then load and run either Spy-Bot Search and Destroy, or Symantec Endpoint Protection. They will find a virus every time. It come in the XP-PRO disk and if a way MS used to track software. Out of date, but MS CD’s are not erasable (with less than a flame-thrower.)
Absolute lies. I have done that and the only thing it finds are security setting issues which is not a virus. Idiot.
And if Mac is so much better, why does everyone I know with a MAC have VM with Windows XP? All you mac guys bitch about windows then install it on your macs. Is it because you finally realized if you want to, you know, use actual software and play games you have to use windows?
Both have advantages and disadvantages. I think the division between people about this is a little overwrought at times.
Microsoft and Apple have worked together since the early days.
A recent article that mentions a little of that is in PCWorld- the birth of windows from vaporware to reality- I’ll try and post the link here if I can. I’m sure that if anyone spends a little time or has the interest they can find out more.

A certain bluejade I know says the two are moving closer together. She uses both.
“no one bothers to make [viruses] for the OS *ahem* Mac *ahem* anyways.”
Or much of anything else, for that matter . . .
OMG this is the funniest Engrish EVER
Look, Mom, my first Engrish contribution made it to prime time!
Excellent! And very funny, too.
Yay! That’s cool!
You are finally contributing something useful to the world. Your mother should be proud.
How did you do it! >:| My pictures never show up!
I sent one a while back. It seems to have disappeared, although last time I checked it was rating OK.
Let us know which one and we’ll vote for it.
I don’t know how to find it now.
It was instructions for fitting a cup-holder to a car.
Did you have a profile with the ICHC when you posted it? If you did, it should be on your profile page.
I should clarify: If you had a profile with ICHC (and used their submission page) it should be on your profile page.
I don’t know anything about that. It seems so long ago…..
Uh-oh, Mom. I’ve contributed to the great PC-Mac divide, and they’re frying Michael Bolton on the altar of their animosity for good measure. Run away! Run away!
Heehee! Mothers don’t mind!
I thought it might be Windows for Bimbos.
That was my thought, maybe a book along the lines of the “Dummies” series.
Binbows, Binbows, where ya gonna go-lio?
Binbows, Binbows, what’cha gonna do-lio?
Binbows, Binbows, everybody knows
That yer goin’ down the road
Just to see yer little girl-lio!!
Binbows binbows, what ya gonna do,
What ya gonna do when they upgrade you?
Um….crash?
omfg, how old are you? Thats from what? 1920?
i mean the ‘Binbows, Binbows, where ya gonna go-lio?’ bit.
Remember those circular, black plastic things called “records”? Some people still play them and that song is on a few of them. I heard it on the radio recently.
Binbows got that big blue screen
That lights up like a star.
And the best way to light it up
Is to press the space bar.
Crashin’ left, an’ crashin’ right
It would be kinda funny
If it weren’t for the sober fact
That it costs a lot of munny.
(chorus)
(with apologies to Jim Reeves)
This one’s just too easy. I’m going to wait for the next one.
Binbows – sounds like a Meaning Of Liff moment. What is a binbow?
- a rainbow that doesn’t have a single intelligent thought in its pretty little head?
- a bimbo who poops rainbows?
Binbows, Binbows Baggins
The bravest little OS of them all.
Please no . . . I’m having flashbacks now . .
What, you too? Can we claim any sort of compensation for being traumatised, do you think?
I had no idea that was on video. Man. I should have kept my “Two Sides of Leonard Nimoy” album….
OMG, I just actually watched that. Were we all on acid back then?
Apparently. Mesmerizing, isn’t it?
After watching that I lost my appetite for cheese!
?? You mean the stuff made from milk, or the cultural detritus?
‘bimbo’ is nipple in hungarian:)
Well, if they’re Hungary they might like to think of them as strawberries.
*starts drooling*
Micheal did not appreciate the new sign his (now ex-) girlfriend got for him.
Michaels Soft Bimbos! Wonder if they have any “ravens” for sale though….
“Binbow” means “Poor” or “Poor man” in Japanese.
“Bimbows loading”
D’OS!
Windows: 0
All other OS’: 9001
I think you got that backwards……here, lemme fix it:
Windows: 9001
All other OSā: 0
You mean to tell me that a lawsuit is cumming on binbows?
Actually, only who reads Japanese will understand this pun:
In japanese kanji characters it is written “very cheap” (gekiyasu) .. and “binbows” means “a poor person (short on money) ” . So you should read the advertisement as a used computer & parts bargain shop .. Michaelsoft Binbows ==> Microsoft for poors …
ć¾ćć¤ć±ć«ćć½ććļ¼ļ¼ļ¼
Well Microsoft is a bimbo company.
Nobody noticed that the sign says “Binbows” but the caption and pic name are “Bindows?” Too funny. If you’re going to make fun of someone’s spelling, at least spell things correctly yourself.
Nah, the regulars on this site are used to that. It gives stronger funny.
Of course, all the regulars on this site are at least slightly irregular.
Allow me to introduce you to my friend, Y.B. Normal.
This is an intentional pun. “Binbou” is Japanese for someone who’s poor.
umm did you know you messed up to on the picture it says binbows and you wrote bindows
my bad i meant *too
ahahha, binbou- poor ppl….its says its a second hand computer/parts shop. Ahahaha, that was awesome.
lol I misread Binbows as Bimbos XD
was that shop owned by a japaneese blonde…
or
wus the blund own teh shoppeh
Great!! And where’s the counterpart of this for Mac .
