Office To Add “Do Whatever” Button To Alignment Options

September 1, 2019

REDMOND, WA – Users of Microsoft Office will no longer have to insert pictures or move tables to send their text all over the page.

A new “Do Whatever” button complements the Alignment options in the toolbar. In addition to the existing Left, Center, Right, and Justify alignments, document authors can now select the new button to utterly wreck the formatting they had implemented.

“It used to be that you had to try adding something to the page, and wherever you put it the rest of the document would scurry away in terror,” said Office MVP Loren Ipsell. “But it wasn’t always predictable. Sometimes things would go where you put them, and the rest would stay in place.”

Not so with the Do Whatever button. One press and you will wonder where your paragraphs went.

“It doesn’t just move things around,” said Ipsell. “It changes the margins on random things, adds page breaks, makes it so that some pictures are inline while others are behind the text. It’s a solidly effective piece of programming.”

After the launch of the button, Office developers will resume their ongoing task of moving things around in the menu in successive versions so users can’t find familiar functions.

Companies Scrambling To Get In On Data Breach

May 13, 2019

LANSING, MI – Corporate leaders around the country are falling over themselves to take part in the latest massive breach of confidential consumer data.

“There are millions of secure records out there just wafting off into the wind, and we’re missing it,” said Amitto CEO Vaughn Gortensen. Financial giant Amitto has so far avoided any major infringement of its customers’ records, “But that time is coming soon,” said Gortensen.

All your “secure” data is going through yellow tubes like this.

Executives increasingly view data breaches as a signal that they are major players in their respective industries. “Nobody takes you seriously until some hackers have slipped in and nabbed your entire database,” said Gortensen. “Then you get a ton of lawsuits, but it’s cool. Only costs a few million in fines usually, but consider what you’d pay for that publicity.”

The president of a large medical records company expressed similar sentiments, adding that they would never openly encourage hackers to come after them, as that would be “totally illegal and unethical,” in her words.

“They won’t get past our two-factor authentication,” said the unidentified president, speaking in front of Hospitala headquarters. “It would require them to have that unencrypted spreadsheet of credentials that’s been floating around the internet. The zip file with ‘HospitalaHack’ in the title. We’re just terrified someone will find that and use fields 4 and 7 on our hidden login page to reset the password and have it sent to whatever address they provide.”

Such a person would have unencumbered access to the entire company’s records, and by extension, their customers’ records.

Squirrel Wants To Know If You’re Going To Eat That

May 9, 2019

CHARLOTTE, NC – An adorable squirrel is watching from a cautious distance while you eat your lunch on the park bench, wondering if you are intent on finishing the rest of that sandwich.

An accomplice watches from a nearby tree, awaiting any signal that you will leave the sandwich unguarded, even if only for a moment.

By all indications, you have abandoned efforts to consume the whole thing, leaving several bites worth beside you as you casually sip Diet Dr. Pepper and read social media posts on your phone. The squirrel, who would not provide a name, grows ever more curious as to your plans for the remainders.

While the tension on the side of the furry rodent grows by the moment, you remain unaware of the developing situation. Sources familiar with your past actions suggest that you will wrap up what’s left and put it in the break room refrigerator, never to retrieve it.

“We strongly discourage people from feeding human food to the wildlife,” said park attendant Chip Endale. “It messes with their digestive systems, steers them away from healthier food, and makes them sick.”

The squirrels of the park are not party to any such accord or agreement, and will pursue any opportunity to acquire human food irrespective of its nutritional content.

“They do this in open defiance of park rules,” said Endale. “But we have little recourse, as squirrels ignore citations just as readily.”

DENVER, CO - An unpaid intern at a satirical news DENVER, CO - An unpaid intern at a satirical news site made an ad hoc post in an attempt to verify that the connection between the Instagram account and the related Facebook page was working properly. Previous attempts had gone to a personal profile instead, and if it happens again the intern plans to register deep dissatisfaction with the process.
SEATTLE, WA – Owners of Amazon’s Echo devices SEATTLE, WA – Owners of Amazon’s Echo devices have a new feature to try out on their Alexa virtual assistants, Snarky Mode. Alexa can now respond to inquiries with snide, sharply critical, and even rude comments while providing answers or performing tasks. “You’re a bit old to be asking what ‘fleek’ means, Dan. How about some nice Eighties music?”
“You can ask Alexa, ‘What’s the weather?’ and she’ll say ‘Oh, hold on while I scoot over to the window and take a look,'” said Echo Snark Division leader Steve Todson. “If you want the real answer, you’ll have to spar with her verbally, like saying ‘I might just have to take you out there and see for yourself if it’s raining,’ and then she’ll give in at some point and say ‘Okay, okay, it’s 45 degrees and raining. Happy?'” Turning the function on is simple. Just say “Alexa, enable Snarky Mode,” and if she says “Oh, so you can try and get sassy with this?” then it is operational. 
You can adjust the level from 1 to 10, which according to the online guide represents snark values from “Raised Eyebrow” through “Oh No She Didn’t” all the way up to “Murdered By Words”. In the app settings, you have even more fine adjustment levels for preferences like joshing, indifference, cynicism, malice, and ad hominem attacks. “Some people simply want a ‘just kidding around’ level, so you can definitely do that,” said Todson. “But curmudgeons, misanthropes, and comedians will appreciate the full throttle experience.” Snarky Mode follows the new Whisper Mode available for Alexa, and soon to come are more options such as Gesture Mode for additional expressive capabilities, Stare Down Mode to unlock passive aggressive tasks, and Edgewise Mode for noisy families.
