\"Java<\/p>\n

So this evening I’m reinstalling Java. Not by choice, but because the annoying little balloon keeps on popping up in the corner of my screen. Then, while it’s installing, the installer has the audacity to say something extremely stupid like:<\/p>\n

By installing Java<\/span>, you will be able to experience the power of Java<\/span>…”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

NO WAY! That is AWESMOE*! Well thank you very much Java, for allowing me to experience the power of JAVA!<\/p>\n

Alright, maybe I’m being a little hard on these designers…but seriously people, words matter! By putting silly little mistakes like this into an installer you’re immensely hurting your credibility. In fact, if I didn’t know better I’d think this might be a virus written by a kid in his basement, not a development platform backed by a company with nearly 35,000 people<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So, Sun<\/a>, how about a little fixer upper?<\/p>\n
