Don't tell chrome

but I have a new love affair.... with Wave





The following is what I wrote to the Wave Team while signing up for an account as a tester.

What is wrong with you google! You made the Outlook team cry! They saw your IO wave demo and realized that now they'll have to do actual work. That's just mean of you. They had a good thing going before you came around. Every few years update the GUI and just reuse the same code from 1996. BUT OHHHHH NOOOOO! Now you want to go and revolutionize everything, make it all "fast" and "efficient" and "air quotey" (Note: Air Quotey is not a Wave Gadget). Just because outlook takes up like 50% of your resources, that doesn't mean it's wrong. It just means it's ready for the future! Eventually processors will have so many cores that outlook can continue to take up a few of them and no one will even notice. By the time they get all that stuff fixed it would be too late to bother anyways. Of course now they'll actually have to do work, WHICH WILL DRASTICALLY CUT INTO THEIR LOLCATS TIME! annnnnd ohhhhhhh do they hate you for that. On a side note, I love you wave, you are my new friend and I will hug you even when you suddenly but inevitably betray me.
