There can be only one

My goodness, how fortunate! You've stumbled upon the "Highlander of Beanz"

...or at least the "Thunderdome" of cans.

You see! Oh.. it wasn't that

Darn it, I thought we'd finally found the work of those Chinese spy chips.

Rube Goldberg UI

Be sure to budget another hour explaining to each user "How to save a document".

It's difficult enough trying to help them find their content in the mish-mash of O365 repositories(Teams, Sharepoint, Onedrive, etc)

Solar Panel game of Jarts

Mostly safe, just keep a green fire extinguisher ready.

Un-Hollie Contract

Sometimes... All I need is the air that I breathe,

...and to renew my subscription.

Friendly Fubar's

Awe..Game over

-Army pops another quarter (billion) into the machine

Earning your Degree

Who needs all this bureaucracy? Let international trade go free and unfettered (sarcasm)

Once imports cross the border, their origins are baptized in blissful goodness.

The longer you stay, the sooner you'll go

Another day at the IBM employment death camp.

Use'em, abuse'em, and train your replacement.

Making it Better'er

"I'll settle your stupid and top it with our own."

* Overheard at FTC/Equifax settlement negotiations

Oh yeah, I guess this is profitable too.

Google finally wakes-up and gets in the game.

One of the things you can do, when your development of a censored Chinese search engine is abandoned in June.

For every roach you see...

There never seems to be enough pesticide to keep Google out your private business.

Or at least, I wouldn't rely on any type that takes 9 years to work.

Fast, Cheap, Good

Doctors use a scalpel, barbarians use a sword.

Choose a tool befitting of your skill level.

Of course for programmers, that should mainly apply to the "other guy".

New Wisdom Cometh

As part of their first contribution to the "linux distos" list, Microsoft will point out that the the Linux Core is missing an Azure dependent activation code.

Too many heads in the trough

Windows Phone was the first indicator (at least to Bill) that maybe his leadership was getting hopelessly out of touch with customer demand.

It's hard in a large mega company to be innovative, without tripping on the tail of everything and everyone you've been dragging along all those years.

Between Microsoft and the independent phone vendors, the overall mobile solution never seemed to be on the same page for very long..

Let's call it all even

AMCA: I"m calling about a personal business matter

Debtor: Hmm... Is this regarding the personal information leak for which I should be monetarily compensated?

AMCA: (call drops)

It's not a console, its "the Raspberry Pi of the Living room"

Come for the nostalgic games, stay for the homebrew.

Today's Mystery Basket Ingredient, "Micro-Plastics"

Well, I guess this isn't going away anytime soon.

So how can we make them more tasty?

Maybe a "Pollo de Propylene"

Lemming Clouds

Dear Cloud Minions,

Proceed to cut off your ears and then listen for my next command.

Automation at its worst.

A Brighter Future

DXC: "Ok, we'll prove those El Reg naysayers wrong! ...starting tomorrow.. or maybe the next day. Got a new guy in charge of that now, I forget the name."

Less is more, So here's more less..

Having a contract with DXC must feel like you made a deal with the US Navy, but the support is now delivered via the "USS Constitution" (Ahoy!, sail power).

Unfortunate

Shareholder Value: Business speak for "The racehorse could also make nice glue"

Vaccine for Linux

I just feel like putting Linux under Windows, is like putting the cart before the horse.

It's there..(yay?) but the Linux we get is a steer and not a bull.

Airbed-N-bugs

Pfft.. put it in the wifi router.

Just one more place to check for bed bugs.

Instead of cars, why not legends?

And soon his remains will ride out on a SpaceX rocket out into a galaxy far.. far.. away...

What.. the last one just blew up? It must have been a faulty hyper-drive.

Back to the Lab

Take a common problem with cell phones (broken screens) and make it even more precarious, at a higher price.

How about pairing it with some fold-able Samsung batteries. What could go wrong?
