"Pineapple used to be a word for pinecone which is what the fruit looked like to early explorers... who were apparently blind." xD

 

I find these videos highly entertaining

Something worth noting that back then, the term "apple" was used as a general term for fruit. Calling pineapples apples would make as much sense as calling nearly all fruits apples, and since some fruits do come from trees, as do apples and pinecones, this apparently would have made a lot of sense.

 

English is weird.

What's happening in here? I got a new computer yesterday, with Windows 8. I actually do like Windows 8 so far, it has lots of nice additions.

 

But I didn't like not having a start menu, so I used a program that added that back, and now it's awesome.

 

So how is everyone doing in here? Anything cool happening?

Why do these people get upset over the most mundane of first-world problems?!! inb6 you run out of toilet paper, or you have nothing to eat that tastes good despite having a fridge full of food.

What of your drive ain't got no good food. Scratch that. The fridge never has any good food! It's all in the pantry my man.

This place just never seems to be that active anymore. But other times it is, I dunno.

 

I like Wndows 8 a lot, I know a lot of others don't like it, but I do like it. Since I added the WIndows 7 start menu it made it even better.

 

My new computer is nice too, it has a huge resolution screen. I was tired of the old computer which had a small resolution. I had to connect it to monitors. xD

I use both Windwos 7 and 8, but I use Windows 7 more than I do 8. I'm a bit used to 8, though, but still not well-acquainted.

 

Is the resolution bigger than 1366×768?

Hi, Everypony!

Have you ever donned an etymology hat? Or rather, have you been lately curious as to where a certain word came from?

The resolution is 1920 x 1080, so full HD resolution, on a small laptop screen. Pretty awesome it is.

 

I also added the WIndows 7 style start menu on my computer so it's pretty nice to have that and the whole other interface. I also did upgrade to Windows 8.1.

[Away 2,077]
