Here's what I think my computer is thinking whenever I've been Microsofted by Autoformatting (a term referring to the problems encountered when Microsoft products try to automatically change or format your text, spacing, or style and end up causing more problems than if they didn't try to automatically do anything at all): 

"Hi my name is Microsoft.  I know what you're trying to do.  You're trying to write a letter.  Here, let me align certain sections to the right and insert certain key phrases to make it look more like a letter.  There ya go.  You're welcome." 

"Hi my name is Microsoft.  I know what you're trying to do.  You're trying to make an outline, and you'd like me to automatically indent each line and automatically number and letter each line.  There ya go.  You're welcome." 

"Hi my name is Microsoft.  I know what you're trying to do.  You're trying to insert a picture.  I'll go ahead and change the text and formatting of the current section so it'll fit your out-of-place, oversized picture.  Then I'll make it impossible to reposition the picture.  Because that's what you're trying to do.  And I know it.  You're welcome." 

"Hi my name is Microsoft.  I know what you're trying to do.  You're trying to copy multiple 'snippets' of text to the clipboard.  Let me open up the 'Office Clipboard' to help make this easier.  There ya go.  You're welcome." #technology

The Automated Teller Machine is a great invention.  You don't have to talk to anyone or write anything down.  You can just press some buttons and get some cash.  Good deal. 

...except when ATMs are out of cash, like the Wachovia in Landing, NJ.  It's one of those ATMs with no bank attached to it; just an island in the middle of a parking lot.  I went to it last night to get some money.  I put in my card, typed in my PIN, and pressed some buttons to get cash out of my checking account.  And then it tells me, "We're sorry, this machine is temporarily unable to dispense cash."  What do you mean "unable to dispense cash"?  What other purpose does an ATM serve other than to dispense cash?  Yes, I know it has balance-checking and money-transfer capabilities, but who goes to the ATM to do stupid things like that?  And why did this stupid machine wait until I inserted my stupid card and pressed a bunch of stupid buttons before it stupidly told me this?  Couldn't it say it at the beginning so it wouldn't waste my time?  That really burns me up. 

I went back to it this morning before work, and it was covered by a big plastic thing that said it was out of service.  I was mad, but definitely a lot less mad than if it had done the same thing as last night. #money

There's a guy in Mexico that designed and built his own jetpack.  It enables him to fly about 30 feet in the air for about 30 seconds.  He's not quite as good as this guy, who uses technology similar to the Bell Rocket Belt to fly for an extended period of time with amazing accuracy and stability.  (via Digg) #technology
