Fail

Dear Mac,

GTFO. Maybe you're a good personal computer for some people but for computational work you suck. So hard. So long.

Apple, stop putting out "analysis software" until you get your shit together. When my shitty $500 Dell outperforms you something is wrong. I don't care if your layout is pretty and you have good video editing programs. I'm a soulless number cruncher, why would I care? Please learn how to deal with 8 GB of genomics data because that's a freakin drop in the bucket. You're an overpriced pocket calculator for all the help you are. I don't suck Gate's schlong but I'd rather deal with that if it gets the job done. Blech bad image.

Finally, saying that Apple gives you options is like saying you love pre-fab houses. That's awesome if they have what you want and you don't mind paying for the package and add-ons but this shit doesn't make you an architect.

- I'd rather be using Linux

P.S. I'm typing this on an Apple mobile, which I also sort of loathe. I'll usually bend my consumer morals for free stuff. However, expression analysis will not bend.

Me?

Every time a member from any of our collaborating labs assumes I'm a post-doc I wonder how I got to this point. Do they assume I'm a PhD because I have a respectable, impressive facade (unlikely given my daily jeans and sneakers)? Is it because I'm laden down with the work of a post-doc and essentially running the lab now that everyone else has left me in the deep end hyperventilating (true but they don't know that)? Do I look like I've hit my 30s ten years early?

Or do I really just look that dead and resigned to my career choices? I vote for that one.

Eck. I still love you, research, even though you embody everything wrong with co-dependent relationships.

Sometimes you enjoy intelligent discourse

And sometimes you just want to laugh at stupid crap
