I write a lot about the limitations of 802.11n and MIMO, but this guy is off the wall. Tune in next week, when he reviews mouse pads. Much more his style, I think.

Don't Try To Please Everybody

A Man and his son were once going with their Donkey to market. As they were walking along by its side a countryman passed them and said

You fools, what is a Donkey for but to ride upon?

So the Man put the Boy on the Donkey and they went on their way. But soon they passed a group of men, one of whom said

See that lazy youngster, he lets his father walk while he rides.

So the Man ordered his Boy to get off, and got on himself. But they hadn't gone far when they passed two women, one of whom said to the other

Shame on that lazy lout to let his poor little son trudge along.

Well, the Man didn't know what to do, but at last he took his Boy up before him on the Donkey. By this time they had come to the town, and the passers-by began to jeer and point at them. The Man stopped and asked what they were scoffing at. The men said

Aren't you ashamed of yourself for overloading that poor donkey. Making it carry both you, and your hulking son, is cruel!

The Man and Boy got off and tried to think what to do. They thought and they thought, till at last they cut down a pole, tied the donkey's feet to it, and raised the pole and the donkey to their shoulders. They went along amid the laughter of all who met them till they came to Market Bridge, when the Donkey, getting one of his feet loose, kicked out and caused the Boy to drop his end of the pole. In the struggle, all three fell from the bridge into the river, and drowned.

You can please some of the people all of the time, and you can please all of the people some of the time, but you just can't please all of the people all of the time.
