Of Windows 8 And Placements

When the videos first came out, Windows 8 seemed like a desperate attempt at making a uniform OS for both PC's and tablets.
After a couple of people installed it on their laptops and I had a look for myself, I realized that I still think the same. Blargh. You suck, Windows 8.

Talking about placements now.
The whole of Facebook's Newsfeed is a-buzz with the news that 5 of our seniors got placed by a Japanese software development (?) firm, in Japan, with an annual package of Rs. 33 lakhs. Whoop-de-doo. But is Rs. 33 lakhs a good starting salary for a country like Japan?
Nevertheless, congratulations, y'all who got selected. :)
One of those Japanese guys was awfully cute. You're lucky you get to work with him!

Then there is Microsoft of course. It recently had a test/interview/GD for placement as well as internships. I don't know if the results are out yet. But everything sounds rather promising. Especially the rumours about Bell Labs.

Not very bad, for first-time placements, are these?

Facebook is becoming boring.
I need to get a life.
I need to write more.
Also, dear Java, I am not very fond of you. You suck a lot.

5 Say What They Think:

I really don't like Java either. It's a stupid language.

It is unnecessarily very complicated. x(

Java:

package MyPackage;

public class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello, world!");
}
}

Python:

print "Hello, world!"

*eyeroll*

Even if you consider C:

# include

int main()
{ printf("Hello world.");
return 0;
}

Java STILL sucks :|

Yeah, I know. I purposely took an extreme example =P
