Empire of Crap

Allow me to remark that of all the shit moves Google has pulled, locking out the ability to manually backup bookmarks on the mobile version of Chrome is probably the most irritating one I have encountered yet.

 Guys*. Seriously. This is the Twenty-First Century. 
Does it make sense to you that everything should run slowly, unresponsively, and badly?
Does shipping intentionally crippled software get you hard? Is this a sexual kink thing?
Are you jacking off in your headquarters, imagining my cries of desperate futility?

...And yes, posting while angry is always an excellent strategy.

*This is, I feel, is totally a Patriarchy thing.

"What is Man, that thou should magnify him? And that thou should set thine heart upon him?"

' "...You think it'll be like that?"

"Don't you? You were there; you saw what's happening. The barbarians are rising; they have a leader, and they're uniting. Every society rests on a barbarian base. The people who don't understand civilization, and wouldn't like it if they did. The hitchhikers. The people who create nothing, and who don't appreciate what others have created for them, and who think civilization is something that just exists and that all they need to do is enjoy what they can understand of it--luxuries, a high living standard, and easy work for high pay. Responsibilities? Phooey! What do they have a government for?"
 "...You know why? Our rulers are the barbarians among us. There isn't one of them ... who is devoted to civilization or anything else outside himself, and that's the mark of the barbarian." 

"What are you devoted to, Otto?" "You. You are my chieftain. That's another mark of the barbarian." '

'New from the Colonel! Chicken and tits!'

Today I got into an argument at work with a co-worker (to use the noun loosely) over ancient Hebrew diacritical marks, and how they applied to the Tetragrammaton*.
An argument which I think I won, for it ended with him screaming uncontrollably "Chicken and Tits!" over and over again.

This made me laugh for the better part of a day.
I cannot understand why he chose this phrase, but I am guessing that perhaps he read an article on the subject that used the example of 'Chicken' and 'Tits' as words that would encode the same without diacritical marks?
Its really the only answer I can think of.

*This chap believed that all four letter words** were names of God. I suspect he never read the 'Nine Billion Names of God' story by Arthur C. Clarke.
