N-Gage

what the Hell were the folks at NOKIA smoking when they designed this ghastly device? You actually have to hold the phone with its width next to your ear in order to communicate, and they could have included better launch games which you can only play by first removing the battery and then adding or changing the cartridge. Not to mention the ridiculous price range. Definitely a concept designed for failure.

If NOKIA had designed the cartridge slot on the external part of N-Gage, and designed it more like a pocket calculator like many of NOKIA's cellphone product lines, and cut the price in half, the N-Gage might do a little bit better.

search engine

Not very useful when you want to get even the most basic information because 93% of the time you get mostly links to porn sites.

Google is a pretty good search engine, though.

mortal kombat

A violent, bloody, but fun fighting game series which spawned one of the best videogame-based movies ever. Mainly features a Shaolin warrior called Liu Kang, who must keep the Earth realm safe from interdimensional sorcerers who just want to take over the world and change it to their desires.

popup

An Internet phrase for "pop-up window". The annoying windows that open up randomly when you access a webpage. Most popups can be closed with a simple click of the mouse, but some, such as pornography popups, are programmed to open up more popup windows or pull the user into a pop-up loop, or even disable the user's computer.
There are a wide variety of free and commercial software programs available which can block popups. The range of effectiveness varies with each program.

Now it's nearly impossible to surf the Net for ten minutes without encountering a site with at least one porn popup.

internet

Supposedly a medium for exchanging data and educational resources. Now it's just a place where you can find porn, warez, and drugs.

I'm gonna go surf the Internet today.

volence

A natural human instinct fuelled by the desire for power or material posession.

Everyone knows violence solves everything, right? Which explains why people would rather kill and wage wars than negotiate peacefully.
