I’m checking out the new Open-Office beta 3 – still disapointing

And at a first look there’s nothing to remark. There’s a new start screen opening via a desktop shortcut :

Pressing the Open Document button in the new start panel will use the new Vista file dialog (which is a good point !):

But after opening the new document I started and trying to save it without typing anything in it, the whole program freezes (see the tilebar saying not responding) and here was a major disapointment :

Anyway, one of the reasons I’m never going to use this software is its damn uggly user interface using even ugglier icons for documents and toolbar buttons. So I decided again on Open Office.org : uninstall – it’s useless and still very uggly. I guess I’ll be moving into the cloud, using Google Docs.

Steve Ballmer, the software monkey-man vs. Romanian President Basescu, the politics monkey-man

Today I had a strange revelation : Steve Ballmer, the software monkey-man vs. Romanian President Basescu, the politics monkey-man. Please read more to understand about both men I mention here, they both make silly mistakes, they both make circus and they both fool people. One of them for Big Cash, the other one for circus and bread classical political monkey show-business in a crap country named Romania.
