Peter: Jason, this operating system of yours keeps crashing! Jason: I know. I threw in a few bugs by design. Peter: Huh?? Jason: I wanted to ensure that users would rush out to buy the upgrade to JasonDowns99 next year. It'd include corrections to all of '98s problems... plus, of course, a whole new batch of bugs that'd require the even more expensive JasonDowns 2000 to correct. Peter: I don't know whether to puke or buy stock in your company. Jason: Did I tell you my idea to use "900" numbers for tech support?

My brother’s best friend fixes my computer. He won’t accept my money, so I pay him in cookies. I swear every time he fixes it, he puts a new problem in (He’s a programmer).
I gotta go. I need more cookie ingredients. Again.

Well… if debugging is the process to take out bugs… programming is the process of putting them in… I think Jason’s got it right.

You gotta hand it to Jason……he’s always thinking!

Jason reminds me of me at his age. I never wrote an operating system, though. Just a website. And it stunk because I only had a basic knowledge of HTML.
Jason reminds me of me at his age, only a lot cooler.

Jason is more evil than Bill Gates! Which I thought was impossible…

Sounds a lot like Microsoft to me. Could they really be that oblivious to the bugs in their software? They must all be using Macs.

No, I read in the paper that Bill Gates banned all Apple products from his home. His kids have to use Zunes instead of iPods, and he just got into a fight with his wife because she wanted an iPhone. Trillions of dollars and they can’t buy any worthwhile technology!

bill gates actually had millions of stock in Apple for a while.

Hm… reminds me of Vista and Windows 7. Nobody’s brought this up yet?

“Trillions of dollars and they can’t buy any worthwhile technology!”
I’d love to have that problem for a while.

If you had a Mac you wouldn’t have to bake cookies. No viruses.
